Off The Table https://OffTheTable.podbean.com The podcast we wish existed when we started.

A podcast for nutrition professionals about the business and client side of things. The stuff you're not taught at uni or in your cert. The stuff that keeps you up at night three months into private practice, wondering if you made the right call.

In this episode, we unpack the 'chasing revenue trap', walking through a few models that compare what solo operators actually take home versus what business coaches promise. We look at the real cost of running paid ads and why hiring your first team member often means more work for the same or less profit. We also discuss what full-time practitioners are actually earning, discuss the time cost of managing staff that nobody warns you about, and talk through what a realistic and profitable path looks like for the majority of practitioners, including when it genuinely makes sense to bring someone on and when a VA is the smarter move. We get into business coaches too, where they may actually add value and where the messaging is just fool's gold dressed up as strategy.
