On this episode of the series "How I Built my Speech Path Business," we talk with SLP Jacey Bullock.  Jacey spent the beginning of her career as a speech therapist in the school setting, and once she became pregnant with her 3rd child, she knew she wanted to create an opportunity for herself that would allow more time with her children while still using her passion and knowledge as a therapist.  What started as testing out the waters seeing a couple of kids privately quickly turned into a full blown speech therapy clinic with several speech therapists working with and for her.  Jacey never could have imagined that starting a business just a few months shy of having her third baby would have successfully grown into what it is today. 

Jacey goes through her journey with us from marketing strategies, searching for office spaces, finding and hiring the right therapists, serving her patients and families and creating contracts for her employees. 

 One of Jacey's main goals in being a business owner is to create a flexible and empowering work environment that radiates positivity and attracts both clients and therapists alike.   She shares operational strategies that keep her team motivated and her clients returning. From the decision to operate on a private pay system to the freedom of scheduling that allows therapists to maintain work-life harmony, Jacey is proving that her foundational values are key to creating a successful business . She also shares about her sister's partnership in the business and the importance of trust and communication when making those decisions. 

Making sure families are matched with the right therapist is another important goal for Jacey as a business owner.  She knows that the right fit is important for both the therapist and the child, and although it takes time and energy making sure that happens, the effort has proven to keep inquiries coming in and therapist schedules full. 

Tune in to this encouraging and informative episode with Jacey Bullock as she shares the importance of combining work goals, community outreach and family values together to create KCL Pediatrics.
