You aren't actually making $150/hr...

Hey there Healers!
Last month I was talking all about numbers in practice and I decided this month to take it one step further...
Weāre talking about real numbers.
Not theories.
Not āone day Iāll figure this out.ā
Actual numbersāwhat youāre making, what youāre keeping, and what that could turn into over time.
Because the truth is⦠a lot of you have reached out in March...
You've said things like:
"I'm never going to be able to retire..."
"If I want to make more money I'm gonna have to find another job..."
"I don't think there's any hope for me..."
But the thing is most practitioners are far more capable of building wealth than they realize.
They just havenāt actually seen their numbers yet.
Letās start with something simpleābut a little confronting:
You might be charging $150 an hourā¦
ā¦but that doesnāt mean youāre making $150 an hour.
Hereās what your real take-home actually looks like:
Revenue ā expenses ā taxes = what you keep
So for most practitioners, that includes:
š£Rent or clinic split
š»Software (Jane, payment processing, booking systems)
š©š»āš¼Courses, CEUs, mentoring
šļøSupplies
š„Admin time (charting, emails, rescheduling)
š§¾And then taxes (roughly ~30% for many people)
And when you actually run that mathā¦
That $150/hour often becomes something closer to $50ā$70/hour take-home.
Sometimes less....
And before you panicāhang tight.
This is very normal.
Most people, even outside of healthcare, talk about their income in gross numbersānot what they actually keep after taxes and expenses.
But if you donāt know what you actually take homeā¦
It can start to feel really frustrating.
Like:
āHow am I charging this much and still not getting ahead?ā
And this is the moment where things start to click.
Because when you see your numbers clearly, itās not a personal failure.
Itās just math.
In osteopathy, weād never treat what we havenāt properly assessed.
We wouldnāt guess.
We wouldnāt assume.
Weād get clear on whatās actually happening in the body first.
Your finances are no different.
So instead of trying to fix anything right now, just notice this:
š Whatās actually left over at the end of your month?
Not what you billed.
Not what came into your account.
What you actually kept.
Over the next few weeks, Iām going to show you what even small, consistent changes in these numbers can turn into over timeā
(and I promise⦠itās more powerful than you think).
And if youāre ready to go deeper into this,
This is exactly what weāre doing inside the Wellthy Practice Retreat (April 25ā26).
Weāre taking something that usually feels overwhelming and abstractā¦
and turning it into something clear, grounded, and actually doable in your real life and practice.
For nowājust start with awareness.
No judgment.
No spiraling.
Just clarity.
With you in it,
