133. Mastering the Art of Time Freedom: Uriah Guilford on Building a Business and Therapy Practice While Traveling

Kym Tolson Season 1

In this episode of the Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Uriah Guilford, a therapist and entrepreneur, to discuss how he successfully manages a thriving therapy business while enjoying extensive travel. Uriah shares his journey from the early days of struggling to take vacations as a solo practitioner to creating multiple streams of income that allow him the freedom to travel the world. 

Uriah and I dive into essential strategies like building a team, creating systems, and leveraging passive income to ensure business continuity even while on the road. Uriah also shares a fun anecdote about making money while enjoying Disneyland, highlighting the joys of truly automated income. This episode is packed with actionable tips for any therapist looking to achieve financial and time freedom while exploring the world.

Key Points:

  • The Importance of Passive Income: Uriah emphasizes the need for creating products or services that aren’t solely dependent on your presence, such as courses or membership programs.

  • Building and Empowering a Team: He discusses the value of delegating tasks to a competent team to maintain business operations while traveling.

  • Creating and Documenting Systems: Detailed standard operating procedures (SOPs) are crucial for ensuring that your team can handle tasks efficiently in your absence.

  • Trusting Your Systems and Team: Uriah talks about the importance of actually stepping away from your business to enjoy the freedom you’ve worked hard to create.
