Anne writes: "Here are ten things I wish I knew when I started my own midwifery practice from scratch back in 1997. I felt skilled as a midwife, but had no clue about or support with so many things that are key to having the successful thriving practice that I eventually built. I learned on the job, as I had to. I spent a lot of money and time taking many workshops, continuing education and embarked on my own self study to master and refine my skills as not only a midwife, but also as an owner of a private practice and its administrator. And I learned a lot from mistakes I made along the way. These ten main knowledge and expertise skill sets I wish I had when I embarked on the journey of starting and growing my own private midwifery practice are among the sort of guidanceI am passionate about providing to prospective, student, and new midwives, as well as any midwife who wants to start a practice or improve an existing one. They include:
1) How to run a business, accounting, billing and collections (not taught in most midwifery schools).
2) Dealing with insurance (a whole new unfamiliar world).
3) Marketing and social media (a consistently changing platform)
4) Making needed practice forms, legal documents, and informative handouts for clients.
5) Creating chart forms that work best for you and your practice (charting efficiently, debriefing, guidance with management and charting challenging cases).
6) Writing letters communicating with other health care providers (introducing yourself to form a collaborate relationship, thank you notes for excellent supportive care or summarizing cases for consultations or referrals).
7) Writing letters for moms in your practice as their obstetric care provider (disability, work, gym, dental work, travel, exemptions, insurance companies: payments and appeals).
8) Clarity about the roles of other members in your practice, (office and birth assistants, handling an emergency before help arrives, maintaining skills, and drilling for those rare emergencies).
9) Formulating and buying needed supplies (for your office, care visits, and birth bags).
10) Setting boundaries in your practice for your own personal health and self care (maintaining healthy relationships in your other life roles to prevent problems, exhaustion, illness, and burn out).

Join Caroline Myss for a riveting look into the game-changing questions and decisions that have the power to completely shift your life. Most of us close the passageways of our imagination to new possibilities and, as a result, we shut down streams of guidance that would otherwise direct us to consider new ideas. It’s never too early to realize that life teaches you many things, but it is up to you to gather the wisdom hidden in your life’s journey. And this new perspective can lead to dramatic transitions that take place deep within you.
