Episode 030 - When Is the Right Time to Go Full-Time with Your Ketamine Clinic?

Welcome to Season 2 of the Ketamine Startup Podcast!

In this first episode back, we’re answering one of the most common questions we get from listeners, course students, and clinicians we coach:

“When is the right time to go full-time with my ketamine clinic?”

Maybe you’re juggling hospital shifts while growing your clinic on the side. Maybe your patient flow is starting to build and the clinic is going well! But the idea of going full-time with ketamine therapy is overwhelming. We get it—we’ve been there. And that’s exactly why we recorded this episode.

In this conversation (pulled from a live mastermind session inside our Ketamine Startup 101 course), we walk you through the real-life decision-making process. What it looked like for us, and how you can think about it too. You'll hear about the emotional rollercoaster, the financial realities, and the outside forces that can either nudge you forward or hold you back.

We also break down our 3F Framework (Finances, Feelings, and Forces) to help you decide whether now is the right time for you to make the leap.

It’s honest. It’s practical. And we hope it brings you clarity and encouragement no matter where you are in your clinic journey.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

・How to know when your clinic can financially sustain you

・How emotions and external pressures shape big decisions

・What the "3 F's" (Finances, Feelings, Forces) framework looks like in action
