Be sure to add the channels that best reflect your business. And I strongly recommend using at least 6 months of data to ensure it is statistically relevant.

In addition to learning about the importance of being yourself, Dr. Pate shares his Therapist Experience and why having a mentor has been so crucial to helping him learn and grow his private practice.
