The NPBO™ Private Community ...
Tools, Resources, and Support to Help You Build a Thriving Practice
... practice building information at your fingertips, when you need it!
Do you want to grow your practice, bring in more revenue, and help more patients?
Of course you do, why else would you be here?
But how do you do that?
How do you take your practice to the next level without getting stuck or making mistakes?
And what happens if you do?
What will you do when your back is up against a wall?
When you’re facing challenges stopping you in your tracks?
Sure, you can go online to look for answers, but that comes with its own problems.
With so much “free advice” online, finding what you need is challenging.
And it takes a lot of time to read through articles, watch videos, and make sense of it all.
But even if you come across relevant answers to your queries, often, you get conflicting information.
How will you decide who to listen to?
But There’s Even a Bigger Problem …
You don’t know the person behind the advice. They may have credentials, experience and be knowledgeable… or not.
They may have no idea what they’re talking about… and there’s no way for you to know.
And … advice that sounds great initially may turn out to be flawed or, on occasion, outright wrong.
One Side of the Coin…
But let's face it, that's only half the trouble...
The other issue is cobbling together bits and pieces of information so you can meet the day-to-day challenges of your practice.
Things like:
- Growing your patient base and your revenue
- Creating new services for your patients
- Dealing with reimbursement issues
- Attracting new talent for your practice
- Accomplishing more without putting in more hours
- Taking home more money, consistently
But that’s tough to do when there is no guidance, direction, or support.
Essentially, you’re on your own, figuring things out by yourself.
Of course, you can “Go it Alone.”
You can figure things out by way of trial and error.
But here’s the thing … it takes time.
And most business owners don’t have enough time to begin with.
Time is a precious resource, and your success depends on how quickly you can respond to opportunities and challenges in your practice.
Think about it …
There’s the belief that progress must take time…
- “Don’t rush the process. Good things take time.”
- “Great things take time; either you wait or settle for less.”
- “Never give up because great things take time.”
But contrary to popular belief, making progress doesn’t have to be slow!
Growing your practice doesn’t have to move at a snail’s pace.
Because there is a way to fast-track your progress and success…
You can create greater success for yourself by modeling the success of others.
Successful entrepreneurs do it!
They rarely “go it alone!”
So why would you?
Successful entrepreneurs fast-track their success by learning from other entrepreneurs who have made it before them.
They get together one-on-one or in groups. They learn from one another and support each other.
So why not follow their example and do the same?
- Why not benefit from the experience of successful NPs?
- Why not learn from what has worked for them?
- Why not do what they have done in their practices?
- Why not connect with them and model what they do today?
- Why not support other business-minded NPs?
And that is what membership in the NPBO™ Private Community is offering you.
Access to a group of like-minded, entrepreneurial-thinking NPs who work on building and growing their practices.
So …
- Are you prepared to deal with the challenges in your practice?
- Do you know how to solve the problems in your practice?
- Can you access practice-building tools, resources, and support to help you grow a thriving practice?
- Do you know how to identify opportunities in your practice?
- And are you connected to a network of like-minded NPs who understand and support you?
But First …
Let me briefly introduce myself.
I’m Barbara C. Phillips, APRN, FNP-BC, FAANP, the creator of the NPBO™ Private Community.
Like you, I’m an advanced practice clinician. I have worked in various settings and owned clinical and non-clinical businesses.
In addition to consulting and coaching with clinicians, I’ve been speaking, writing, and presenting to NPs on business and professional development topics since 2007.
I don’t say this to impress you but to assure you that I am qualified to teach and coach you.
I know first-hand how important it is to have the right information at the right time and how devastating it can be if you do not.
And that is why I’ve created the NPBO™ Private Community.
Because I know all too well how difficult it can be to find the type of information you will find inside the NPBO™ Private Community, particularly when you need the information the most.
My goal is and has always been to provide my colleagues with the best information, support, and resources they need to start and grow a practice.
But Don’t Just Take my Word for it…
Hear what other NPs say about the NPBO™ Private Community.
Deborah Adams-Wingate
Barbara’s knowledge, and that of the guest presenters is always excellent, delivered interestingly, as well as, always relevant to our needs as private business owners. Consistent, excellent strategies are provided and there is always collaborative learning – ensuring ideas and knowledge are shared. No matter how long you are in practice - just starting or many years, like myself, there is always something new to learn!
Randi Mann, WHNP BC, NCMP
"I also have been a member of Barb’s group and joined in 2008. Her advice and info was instrumental in helping me get started! I highly recommend joining her group too!"
Susan Rinkus Farrell, MSN, APRN, GNP-BC
"I've known Barbara since 2007, her information helped to guide me in opening my business, the monthly membership alone is invaluable, as I start in a new NP business, I rejoined the monthly membership and I have contracted with her for 1:1 coaching to fine tune my business plan, and remember this expense is a tax deduction."
What's Inside?
Now, let me tell you what’s inside the NPBO™ Private Community.
Once inside, you will find a wide range of information, resources, and support, including:
Live Interactive Sessions
Twice a month, we'll get together for our Coaching Circle. We’ll cover different topics, present new concepts, and answer your questions. Members can discuss any challenges, take the “hot seat,” and get feedback from the group.
Private Office Hours
Every other week you may schedule a 10-minute, 1:1 coaching call with me. These super-focused sessions are available on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Every month we meet to tackle different marketing topics and strategies so you can grow your practice. We cover different marketing channels because what works for one practice may not work for another!
PRN Popup Sessions
We’ll meet as needed to respond to current developments in healthcare, to changes in policies affecting Nurse Practitioners, and to answer your questions as they arise.

We’ve included video training because, frequently, it’s easier to watch how something is done. After all, your education started with demonstrations; and for most of us, watching is still the easiest way to learn.
