    Jul 31 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Hello and welcome to this episode of the Treat Your Business podcast! I hope you're having a fabulous day. In this episode, we're revisiting a crucial topic from episode 12: valuing our time as clinic owners. Despite our best efforts, many of us still struggle with time management and implementing the changes we learn about. Let's dive back into understanding our hourly rate and its impact on our business.

    Episode Summary:

    In this episode, we explore the importance of knowing your hourly rate and how it affects your clinic's success. We revisit key insights from episode 12, discussing why many clinic owners undervalue their time and struggle to implement what they learn from masterclasses and training. By understanding and recalculating your hourly rate, you can make better business decisions, delegate effectively, and ultimately grow your clinic.

    Key Takeaways:

    1. Understanding Your Hourly Rate: Recognising the true value of your time is crucial. It’s not just about charging for your time with clients but considering your years of training, experience, and ongoing professional development.
    2. Challenges in Valuing Time: Many clinic owners undervalue their time due to past experiences in the NHS or working with insurance companies that set low reimbursement rates.
    3. The Importance of Pricing: Regularly revisiting and adjusting your pricing structure is essential. Your prices should reflect your expertise and the value you provide to your clients.
    4. Delegation for Growth: Identifying low-value tasks that can be delegated allows you to focus on higher-value activities that drive your business forward.
    5. Mindset Shifts: Overcoming the fear of raising prices and understanding the broader impact on your business can lead to greater financial stability and less burnout.
    6. Business Development: Spending time on business development tasks rather than getting bogged down by low-value administrative tasks is vital for long-term growth.

    Action Steps:

    • Re-evaluate Your Prices: Take a hard look at your current pricing structure and adjust it to better reflect your value and the cost of providing services.
    • Track Your Tasks: For a week, note down every task you do and categorise them by value. Delegate tasks that don’t need your direct attention.
    • Focus on High-Value Activities: Prioritise tasks that will help grow your business and improve your financial outcomes.

  • 086 Why running a business is really fecking hard with Katie & Michael
    Jul 17 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Hi everyone, it’s Katie Bell here. I’m thrilled to welcome you to another episode of the Treat Your Business podcast. This week, I have the pleasure of welcoming back Michael Schumacher, whose episodes are always among the most popular. We’ve had countless conversations, rants, and laughs about the industry, and today we’re bringing that energy to you. Let's dive in!

    Episode Summary

    In this episode, Michael and I discuss the reality of running a clinic and why it’s such hard work. We tackle the myth of the “magic pill” that promises quick success and share our frustrations about misleading industry advice. We also provide actionable insights on how to manage your clinic effectively without falling for unrealistic promises. Be warned, we don’t hold back and there may be some swearing, so if you’re listening with kids around, you might want to save this for later.

    Key Takeaways

    1. The Reality of Hard Work: Running a business is incredibly challenging. There are no quick fixes or magic pills. Success comes from consistent, hard work and dedication.
    2. Misleading Industry Advice: Beware of gurus promising easy money or quick success. These often lead to wasted money and frustration.
    3. Importance of Consistency: Consistency in your business practices, marketing, and client engagement is crucial for long-term success.
    4. Valuing Your Time: As a clinic owner, it’s essential to recognise your value and delegate tasks that don’t require your direct involvement. This allows you to focus on what you do best.
    5. Pricing Strategy: Don’t be afraid to adjust your pricing to reflect the quality and value of your services. Often, higher prices can lead to better business outcomes.
    6. Leveraging Team Strengths: Building a strong team and knowing each member’s strengths can help streamline operations and improve client satisfaction.
    7. Continuous Improvement: Even successful businesses need to innovate and adapt to stay ahead. Regularly review and improve your processes and services.

    Episode Summary:

    We explore the importance of having a clear vision for your business and the power of visualisation.

    2. Visualisation Techniques: Legends like Johnny Wilkinson use visualisation to prepare for success, priming the brain to align actions with goals.

    10. Architect of Your Life: Design your life and business as you envision. Set clear goals, maintain a positive mindset, and align actions with your vision.

  • 083 Why being called Jack is not good for marketing
    Jun 26 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Welcome back to another episode of the Treat Your Business podcast with me, Katie Bell! This week, we’re exploring why being a “Jack of all trades” can be detrimental to your business.

    We’ll discuss the importance of focusing on a specific niche in your practice, rather than catering to everyone. I’ll share insights on how specialising in one area can make you the go-to expert, attracting clients seeking your expertise. We’ll also tackle the fear of missing out (FOMO) when narrowing your focus.

    Summary

    • Introduction and Myth-Busting: Debunking the myth that offering a wide range of services is the best approach for your clinic.
    • The Power of Specialisation: Learn why positioning yourself as an expert in a specific field, such as sports rehabilitation or women's health, can attract more clients.
    • Marketing to One Ideal Client: Discover how speaking to one ideal client in your marketing efforts can create more compelling messages and stronger connections.
    • Real-Life Success Story: Hear about a physioclinic that transformed its business by focusing on a niche market, leading to a significant increase in enquiries and bookings.
    • Creating an Ideal Client Profile: Understand the importance of identifying your passion, strengths, and conducting market analysis to pinpoint the right niche for your clinic.
    • Adjusting Your Tactics: Tips on reviewing and refining your current marketing strategies to ensure they are targeted and effective.

    Key Takeaways

    1. Focus on a Niche: Specialising in a specific area makes you the expert clients seek out, leading to more targeted and effective marketing.
    2. Avoid Diluted Messaging: Trying to serve everyone dilutes your message, making it hard for potential clients to see how you meet their unique needs.
    3. Ideal Client Profile: Creating a detailed profile of your ideal client guides your marketing efforts, addressing their specific pain points and needs.
    4. Consistent and Targeted Marketing: Ensuring your marketing messages are consistent and targeted to your ideal client results in stronger connections and increased trust.
    5. Real-Life Application: Practical examples show how focusing on a niche leads to significant business growth and client satisfaction.

  • 082 Why your missing out on 97% clients
    Jun 19 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Hello everyone! Katie Bell here, and welcome back to another episode of the Treat Your Business podcast. Today, we're diving deep into a topic that's often whispered about but rarely confronted head-on: the importance of money in running a successful clinic. So, buckle up and get ready for some eye-opening insights that might just transform your approach to business!

    Episode Summary

    In this episode, I explore the critical role of financial health in maintaining and growing a successful clinic. I passionately discuss why money should not be a taboo topic and how it is essential for solving business problems and achieving personal and professional goals. Drawing parallels to the importance of oxygen on an aeroplane, I emphasise that a profitable business allows you to help more people and contribute positively to society. I share real-life examples, industry insights, and practical advice on how to shift from just getting by to thriving in your business. This episode is packed with actionable tips to help you improve your clinic's financial performance and overall success.

    Key Takeaways

    1. Money as Oxygen for Your Business: Just like oxygen is vital for survival, money is crucial for a business to thrive. Without it, you can't help others or sustain your operations.
    2. Changing the Mindset Around Money: Many in the industry feel uncomfortable talking about money, but it's important to shift this mindset and recognise that being profitable enables you to deliver better services and create a greater impact.
    3. Business Skills Over Technical Skills: Having excellent clinical skills is not enough. Successful business owners also need strong business skills. Investing in your business education is crucial for long-term success.
    4. The Importance of Marketing: Great products and services are essential, but without effective marketing, potential clients won't know you exist. Focus on building relationships and educating your audience to convert them into loyal customers.
    5. Customer Acquisition and Retention: Understand the different stages of the customer journey—prospects, leads, and customers—and tailor your marketing strategies to address each stage effectively.
    6. Building a Sustainable Business Model: To achieve financial freedom and personal fulfilment, it's important to create a business model that supports reasonable working hours, continuous growth, and a healthy work-life balance.
    7. Upcoming Live Event: Mark your calendars for October 25th for a live, in-person
