Meet Leta Guzman and Blair Lowe | Practice Management Assistant

We had the good fortune of connecting with Leta Guzman and Blair Lowe and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Leta Guzman and, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Leta and Blair are natural-born hustlers with the mindset that failure will never be an option. They knew they needed to create something great while raising young kids and providing a better life for their family. Together they grew Stress Free Private Practice Management, Stress Free Private Practice Consulting, and Practice Management Virtual Assistant Training Program but it doesn’t stop there. Leta manages Intercoastal Junk Removal with her husband and owner while Blair is also the owner of Whiskey and Wildflowers, a local boutique brand.

Leta is the private practice management expert. In 2016 she started her VA business to cater to mental health professionals. She also coaches therapists so that they can grow their practice into their dream career and trains VA’s to specialize in the mental health field. Her superpower is her ability to see the problems in businesses as opportunities to grow with her focused driven solutions!

Blair is the operational expert. In 2016 she went on a crazy journey with Leta assisting private practice owners. She also helps with the back-end operations of the coaching and VA training business. On top of that, she also helps to manage a local boutique where she sells her handmade shirts and custom painted freshies.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
First and foremost, my biggest suggestion would be to look at failure as an opportunity to grow if you want to avoid being discouraged and learn from your mistakes. Once you have that mindset, simple set backs do not seem so personal.

I think what sets us apart from most virtual assistants is the ability to listen and adapt as well essentially implementing procedures we have proven results with. Knowing when changes needed to be made to bring a better outcome.

The main, and hardest lesson we have come to terms with is you will not always be a perfect fit for every client. Not accepting a client that does not align with your Stress Free business values will not be the end of your business but instead it allows further opportunities for clients that are a perfect fit for you.

Growing up, I have always been very passionate about reading with the main focus being psychology based books as a way to cope with struggles that I faced at a young age. From there my passion for the Mental Health Field only grew and I was determined to help to raise awareness and end the stigma surrounding mental illness by overcoming the fear of vulnerability.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My main source of peace comes from the quiet mornings paddleboarding in the calm inlet, followed by some sunshine and sushi at Thai Sushi located in the heart of Downtown Ft. Pierce.

Although local, we do tend to RV at Causeway Cove as a way to unplug and unwind with the family close to home. Less than a mile away are local shops and a small ice cream business with more toppings and flavors than you can ever imagine. It’s a favorite for us every trip.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
The first recognition I want to give is to my husband and kids. They know all the day to day operations and stressors that are placed on me as a small business owner however, however they are my number one supporters. My second and most important business shout out is to Blair, my team manager. I know whatever is thrown at us, we will come together, figure out a way to make it work and never give up. Together we are told we can accomplish anything.
