E7: How Jacque got an extra 10k in her pocket while creating MORE time, energy and resources to scale her practice

In 2018, she made the leap and went off insurance panels, moving to a premium fee, cash pay practice. This move alone put an extra $10,000 in her pocket while giving her MORE time to invest in creating a new business.
