One-on-One Care Is Dying — And Here's Why That Matters For You

Hey there, friends. I hope you're doing fantastic today! I want to talk about something that's been on my mind lately—something that’s been stirring up a lot of conversations in my inbox. I’m talking about one-on-one care and how it's quickly becoming a thing of the past.

You see, the podcast episode I dropped yesterday stirred up quite a bit of interest. I got texts, DMs, and even some heated private conversations from folks asking me: “Do you really think one-on-one care is dead?” And my answer is, yes, I absolutely believe it’s on its way out.

But before you dismiss this, hear me out. Because if you’re a healthcare professional who’s burning out, stuck in the grind of seeing patient after patient, and not seeing the kind of wealth or lifestyle you imagined for yourself, this could change everything.

The Trap of Trading Time for Money

Let’s talk about the time-for-money trap. We’ve all been there, right? You’re spending your days treating patients, and yet somehow, you’re still not getting ahead. You’re working hard, but the rewards are limited. This is exactly why so many of you get stuck—your income is tied directly to the time you spend in that treatment room.

Now, don’t get me wrong—one-on-one care can be incredibly rewarding for your patients. You’re giving them that personal touch, that individual attention that makes all the difference. But the reality is, this model doesn't give YOU the leverage you need to build the kind of wealth and freedom you deserve.

In fact, here’s the hard truth: If you're not able to put away 30% of your income to build wealth over time, you're never going to escape that time-for-money cycle. I know this from personal experience.

A Glimpse Into My Journey

I’ve been a licensed therapist for 24 years, and trust me, I know what it’s like to hustle in the trenches. When I started, I was fresh out of school, making just under $40,000 a year. That was barely enough to cover my bills, let alone build wealth. But I knew one thing for sure: I had to do more than just see patients if I ever wanted to get ahead financially.

That’s when I realized something: if I kept trading my time for money, I was never going to get anywhere. And if you’re still stuck in the one-on-one care system, you’re facing the same problem.

The Leverage You Need

Here’s the kicker—if you want to build a real business and stop living paycheck to paycheck, you’ve got to find leverage. One-on-one care just doesn’t cut it anymore. It worked 20 years ago, when overheads were lower and the economy was different, but it’s simply not scalable anymore.

Here’s the issue: Even though many of you are making more than the $19 per hour you might have been earning as a new grad, you’re still not living off of 30% of your income. In fact, most of you are living off 60% of your pay. Why? Because taxes are eating away at your income—payroll taxes, federal taxes, state taxes, all of it. And let’s not even talk about the cost of living!

You’re getting taxed on your income before you even get the chance to put money into wealth-building assets.

It’s Time to Make a Shift

Look, I get it. The idea of shifting away from one-on-one care can be scary. But trust me, it’s worth it. If you’re ready to stop the burnout and start living a life that gives you time and financial freedom, it’s time to rethink how you operate your business.

There’s a smarter way to create impact, earn more money, and work less. You don’t need to be in that treatment room all day long to help people. The key is building a system that works FOR you, not the other way around.

So, what’s next? How do you break free from the grind? I’m here to show you the way.

Let’s chat about how we can start building the life and business you deserve. If you're ready to create a path toward financial freedom, drop me a message. I’m ready to help you level up.

Much love,
Greg Todd
