Will Power Podcast by Will Humphreys The Identity Crisis of a Private Practice Owner and Shifting Mindset to Achieve True Practice Freedom with Dr. Jamey Schrier
In this dynamic and candid episode of the Will Power Podcast, host Will Humphreys and private practice coach Dr. Jamey Schrier dive deep into the mindset shifts required for healthcare business owners to escape burnout and build a truly fulfilling life.
Dr. Schrier shares the hilarious and pivotal story of how he met his wife and discovered his father-in-law was the CEO of the APTA, a revelation that fundamentally shifted his perspective and membership status! This personal anecdote leads to a powerful conversation about the dangers of staying in the "bubble" of conventional healthcare thinking and the imperative to cultivate independent thought for professional survival and success.
Key Takeaways & Discussion Points:
- The Problem with the PT Bubble: Why thinking and acting like everyone else in the healthcare industry is "killing the industry" and leading to widespread burnout and being overwhelmed.
- Mindset Over Skillset: Inspired by Brandon Siegel's input/output formula, Will and Jamey argue that a fundamental mindset shift must precede any change in action.
- The Three Mindset Buckets: Dr. Schrier breaks down the three critical areas where private practice owners must transform their thinking:
- Control: The fear of letting go, the belief that "no one can do it better than me," and how this leads to being trapped in your business.
- Identity Crisis: Moving beyond the limiting belief that "I am a physical therapist" to embracing the true identity of an entrepreneur and business owner. Jamey shares why he started introducing himself as an entrepreneur first.
- Limiting Beliefs (Especially Around Money): Addressing deep-seated beliefs about money, wealth, and self-worth. Jamey shares a personal, powerful moment where he broke a generational money belief.
Don't wait for your own "building on fire" moment, start building the life you want today!
