Guest Coach: Michael (PT Biz Rainmaker Coach)
Guest: Kim (Rainmaker Alum, PT Biz Mastermind Member)
Episode OverviewIn this episode, Danny introduces a live conversation from inside the PT Biz Rainmaker program between coach Michael and Rainmaker alum Kim. Kim started in Rainmaker while she was just getting her practice off the ground. Now she is in the PT Biz Mastermind, actively scaling her clinic. This episode walks through her journey, early fears, mindset hurdles, and what it looks like to go from "Can I really do this?" to building a growing cash practice.
What You'll Hear in This Episode- How Kim first got started in the Rainmaker program
- The mindset challenges of the early stages of a cash practice
- Imposter syndrome and self doubt when you are not full time yet
- Why the Rainmaker stage is often the hardest mentally
- Specific struggles Kim faced while starting her clinic
- What helped her push through and go all in on her practice
- How her business looks now inside the PT Biz Mastermind
- Why hearing real stories from people just a few steps ahead matters
The Rainmaker program is built for physical therapists who are in the earliest phases of their business. Many are still working full time elsewhere while trying to grow their practice on nights and weekends. It is the most mentally stressful stage because:
- You do not know if the business will work yet
- Your confidence goes up and down every week
- You are balancing work, family, and a new clinic at the same time
Hearing Kim's story shows that the fear, doubt, and imposter syndrome you feel are normal. More importantly, it shows what is possible on the other side when you get clear guidance, do the work, and stay in the game long enough to make the leap.
Inside the Rainmaker and Mastermind Journey- Rainmaker Stage: Getting started, getting your first consistent patients, learning the basics of sales and local marketing, building enough momentum to leave your job.
- Mastermind Stage: Scaling systems, hiring, tightening operations, growing revenue, and building a business that can run without you doing everything.
This episode lets you listen in on that transition. You will hear what Kim actually went through while starting and what she is focusing on now as she scales.
