I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'Hello and welcome to another exciting episode of the Treat Your Business podcast! I’m Katie Bell, your host, and I’m thrilled to bring you something truly special this week. We’ve got an incredible treat in store as I’m joined by my fabulous coaches, Nichola and Philippa, for another round of Coach's Corner. We’re diving deep into the two missing ingredients that we see holding back clinic owners from achieving the success they desire.Episode SummaryIn this episode, we explore why so many clinic owners feel stuck, burnt out, and frustrated despite working tirelessly on their businesses. Nicola, Philippa, and I discuss the two crucial elements that often go unnoticed but are essential for creating a thriving clinic: mindset and having a clear master plan. We use the analogy of a cherry blossom tree to illustrate how many business owners focus on fixing the branches—like marketing or hiring—without addressing the roots (mindset) and the trunk (strategy) that support the entire business. We also share insights on why working on your mindset and having a strong, clear strategy are non-negotiable for long-term success.Key TakeawaysMindset Matters: Your business is a direct reflection of your beliefs, values, and mindset. Without a solid foundation, no amount of strategy or tactics will yield lasting success.Master Plan: Knowing your destination and having a clear plan to get there is crucial. Without this, your business efforts will feel scattered and ineffective.Strategy Before Tactics: Before diving into marketing or team-building, it’s essential to establish a strong strategy that aligns with your goals and values.Continuous Growth: Mindset work and strategic planning are ongoing processes. As your business grows, so too should your mindset and your master plan.Community and Support: Surrounding yourself with like-minded, successful people is key. Events like our upcoming Clinic Growth Live are designed to provide the community, knowledge, and inspiration you need to take your clinic to the next level.Join us for this insightful episode and learn how to shift from being overwhelmed and exhausted to confident and successful in your clinic business.Treat Your Business podcast is proudly sponsored by MBST, the groundbreaking technology revolutionising recovery and rehabilitation.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'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: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.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.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.Delegation for Growth: Identifying low-value tasks that can be delegated allows you to focus on higher-value activities that drive your business forward.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.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.Thank you for tuning into this episode of Treat Your Business.
