When I sold my aesthetic clinic, I thought I’d feel amazing. Instead, I felt a little lost. Looking back, though, that period gave me something I hadn’t had for a long time: space to think about what I really wanted next.
I didn’t want to recreate the same business on a bigger scale. I wanted to explore different ways of doing what I loved. So I opened a couple of smaller clinics and developed an online membership platform for practitioners in the aesthetics industry. It allowed me to build on my experience in a way that suited the next stage of my life, and the growth has been far greater than I expected.
It’s something I talk about a lot with the business owners I coach. Growth doesn’t always mean more sites, more staff or a bigger version of what you already have. Sometimes it means looking at your strengths, the parts of the business you enjoy most, and the other opportunities you haven’t yet explored.
If you’re thinking about what growth could look like for you, perhaps the answer isn’t to build more of the same. It might be to do something different with what you already know.
