  • Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

    If you have been in business long enough then you more than likely have experienced the caseload rollercoaster, which is the ups and downs of having a period of time where your schedule is busy and full followed by another period of time when you don't seem to get as many new patients. Does that sound familiar?

    It is one of he most common challenges canine rehab therapists are facing when they seek my help and guidance, and also a huge source of stress and anxiety as business owner as it brings a lot of unpredictability to the business. But what can we do about it?

    Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

    How I overcame the caseload roller coaster back and built a sustainable flow of new patientsThe importance of knowing and understanding the fundamentals of marketing and salesDeveloping strategies and implementing systems that make your marketing and sales as streamlined, predictable, and scaleable as possibleWhy we need to be able to diagnose the real problem within your business

  • Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

    As we get near the end of this year and the beginning of a new year, many canine rehab therapists start to wonder and worry about how to go about raising their fees once the new years starts. As we start to have those thoughts we also start to feel anxious and stressed about having to have a money conversation with clients while worrying about what they will think of us. Does that sound familiar?

    I used to feel the same way, but over time worked on my money mindset and learned strategies on how to raise our fees without feeling guilty or anxious about it. I understand that this can be an uncomfortable topic and situation to handle, but we need to remember that at the end of the day we are running a business and not only we have bills to pay but, most importantly, we need to be paying ourselves!

    Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

    What does it mean for us to have affordable fees?Understanding how affordability is a relative concept and how to implement payment plans into your businessWhat does selling really mean and  why it is not a negative thingIf you provide above average services and deliver above average results, then why are you charging average prices?Why we need to be careful developing a business model that places us as the "walmart in canine rehabilitation"

  • Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

    There is commonality amongst canine rehab therapists who are business owners and entrepreneurs: the fact that the majority of us actually never entered our profession with a goal of becoming a business owner. More often than not we have found ourselves in a situation where we have to become a business owners in order to make canine rehab work for us, but the challenge then becomes the fact that we have prepared ourselves to become a great clinician but never truly devoted enough time into learning the ins and out of business ownership.

    I have shared my story before and that was exactly how I became a business owner back in 2017, and now that is the reason why I love help coaching and mentoring canine rehab therapists into understanding the business side of things so they can grow a profitable and successful canine rehab business of their own. During this journey I have found my passion in learning more and more about business, marketing, sales, operations, leadership, people management, and many other aspects of business ownership
 and also through the years, both from my own learning and experience, I have found 2 key things that any canine rehab business owner and entrepreneur needs to keep in mind when it comes to achieving the success in business that they would like to achieve. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

    Finding a business model that works for what you want and that can be profitable The importance in determining how you will structure your fees and how much you will charge for your servicesHow marketing is where it all starts and how it can go beyond just attracting new clientsWhy the cost you try to save on marketing will actually cost you a whole lot more in the long runHow marketing will be key to set yourself apart and for overall business success so you don’t have to rely on anyone else sending you

  • Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

    I recently had a call with our Incubator Mastermind students about finishing 2025 strong while setting ourselves up to succeed in 2025, and that message seem to have resonated so well with them that I wanted to share some key things from it with you all for today’s podcast. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

    Why in order for us to set ourselves up for success in 2025 we need to start setting that in motion todayWhat can you do TODAY to start setting yourselves up to accomplish what you want (and hopefully more) in 2025Remember the year has not ended and we still have one more quarter to playThe importance of to picking one key thing to focus on over the next quarter that will set yourself up to start things right in 2025 (and some examples of what that means in marketing, raising prices, nurturing processes, etc)What you need to focus on to start working on each one of those things today

  • Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

    Over the last couple of weeks, I have gotten on numerous strategy calls with canine rehab therapists all over the world interested in hearing more about our Business Sherpa and how it could potentially help them achieve their goals. During those calls I always leave room for questions, and to be honest I love when people ask me questions because it gives me valuable insight into what canine rehab therapists are dealing with
 a couple of folks asked me a question that really got me thinking afterwards, which lead me to writing down some of my thoughts on it for today’s podcast episode. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

    What are key characteristics and personality traits from canine rehab therapists business owners who achieved success fast with their business?What did they do to accomplish more in a shorter period of time?The importance of becoming great problem solvers and strategic thinkersWhy we need to work on overcoming our fearsWhy we need to be careful with the false beliefs we are telling ourselves as business owners and canine rehab therapists

  • Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

    More often than not, when canine rehab therapists seek my help or advice, they are looking for growth within their business. That growth is usually about revenue because they want to pay themselves more or make canine rehab their full-time thing, or about increasing their caseload and getting their schedule busier (although the growth in caseload is often tied up with them wanting to increase overall revenue). But, although I understand the entrepreneurial drive and the human desire to always want more, we need to ask ourselves: is growth only about increasing our revenue or our caseload?

    Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

    Why we can't fall into the trap of thinking that growth is always about moreThe importance of finding out what growth means for you, based on what you need from the business and, most importantly, what you want in your lifeDigging deeper to figure out what the real issue is inside our business so we can have a better a plan as to how to address it Why business growth will never outpace our own personal growth along this journey of entrepreneurshipAsk yourself: what does growth means to you over the next 3 months?

  • Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

    As canine rehab therapists and entrepreneurs we are often battling our own insecurities, either clinically for from a business perspective. That is totally normal and quite often we tend to underestimate what we know and overestimate what we don't know, but a challenge that will come from it will be the fact that this self-doubt makes it easy for us to follow through on what we know we hav to do to keep things moving forward, especially when it comes to our business. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

    Why we need to be careful about always be looking for something new rather than focusing on doing what we need to do todayWe can't commit to anything if we are still looking for somethingThe importance of having the confidence that no matter what you will always prevail, and will find the solutions to your challengesAsking ourselves 'what can I do TODAY to improve my situation?'why education without execution leads us nowhere

  • Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

    There are many pieces of a puzzle that need to come together for us to gradually build a canine rehab business that is profitable and sustainable. During our recent Incubator Mastermind retreat we had a session on "The 8-layer Growth Funnel for Canine Rehab Therapists" where we discussed the 8 different systems that need to come together for us to achieve that, and for today's episode I wanted to discuss the first step: find, build, and deliver . Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

    The importance of understanding the average customer does not understand what canine rehab entails, nor do they have a passion for it like we doWhy we need to to connect with our target audience in a deeper level and have an in-depth understanding of their fears, frustrations, goals, and aspirationsHow to build the solution for what they need rather than selling "canine rehab", "underwater treadmill, or "laser therapy"The importance of figuring out the business model that matches the results you can deliver along with the customer service you would want to provide

    How we have to be in tune with those 3 key elements to avoid burnout and making wrong decisionsThe importance of staying centered, and having a goal or purpose that keeps us moving forwardHow to find a balance between work, home, and our own health (both physically and mentally)The benefits of being creative as a business ownerHow to move forward even though we never know if something will work out or not

  • Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

    For today's episode we discuss the roller coaster of being a business and entrepreneur in the field of animal rehabilitation. This rollercoaster can be so stressful as many of us got into physical therapy or veterinary medicine simply looking for a steady job, but suddenly have found themselves having to be an entrepreneur just to be able to practice animal rehabilitation in our own terms. So, how do we deal with that? Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

    The importance of self-acceptance and how that relates to dealing with the challenges we face as entrepreneurs Why do we get stuck and lose momentum, and what can we do to just keep moving forwardThe importance of turning an emotional problem into a logical challengeHow developing our "courage muscle" will help us deal with those challenges and be better prepared for the future Switching from a victim mentality to shaping our own lives with how we decide to face and deal with whatever life throws at us

  • Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

    For today’s episode I wanted to expand on marketing and hopefully help you expand your views on the benefits that having a marketing strategy brings to your business beyond simply attracting new patients. I wanted to talk more about that because folks make the mistake of thinking that marketing is simply about getting new patients, when in reality a strong marketing strategy will not just fuel your business but it will actually be foundation for many different aspects that will help you build a successful and thriving canine rehab business. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

    How an effective marketing strategy will be vital for you to raise your rates and charge what you are worthThe importance of marketing within your nurturing system, which will allow you to have conversations with prospective clients on auto-pilot and help you educate them on how you can help themThe role of marketing in helping decrease drop-offs and convert more new patients into actually completing the full plan of care that you are prescribing to themHow marketing can actually help you attract the type of clients who will be complaint with your program and their home exercise program, thus increasing their odds of having successful results for their pets

    Recently we have focused a lot of episodes on mindset and personal development with the topics covered on our podcast, and as much as those topics are so vital for our success, for today’s episode I wanted to circle back to talking about marketing. More specifically, how we can optimize and improve our marketing in a way that we are actually spending less time actually doing marketing! Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

    The importance of marketing for the canine rehabilitation industry and the need to diversify marketing portfolios beyond veterinary and word-of-mouth referralsThe challenges of building a canine rehab business within an unpredictable lead generation systemThe challenges of managing the fluctuation in leads and caseload, and finding a balanced approach to lead generation pursuing unpredictable leads through community events and networking, while also implementing a predictable lead generation systemThe importance of a strong paid ad strategy on Google for driving consistent leads and the need to adapt and stay updated with Google's new features and campaignsThe benefits of automating various business processes, such as email marketing and lead nurturing, and why automation should not replace human interaction but rather complement it, providing multiple touch points and educating potential customers about the business's offerings

  • Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

    I am back from vacation and during that break I had the opportunity to do some reading and reflecting, and for today's episode I wanted to share some of my thoughts about the key to success in entrepreneurship. When I first became an entrepreneur and business owner my mindset was about “owning a job”, meaning having enough clients and patients on my own to simply cover the take home pay that I would otherwise have as a human physical therapist. However, 1-2 years into this journey I realized that I had to elevate my mindset when it came to it, otherwise I ran the danger of getting caught in a hamster wheel of simply owning a job rather than owning a true business. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

    Why most of the success in your life will come from understanding how and why to do the thing, and not from doing the thing itselfThe importance of understanding that we are not in the canine rehab business but in the customer service business and we just happen to provide canine rehab as that serviceHow the fundamental principles of how to be successful has never changed, and why we need to master those principlesHow to shift our mindset from simply working harder and harder, and stop wearing the "busiest person" badge of honorThe fallacy of developing passive income, and why that pursuit often gets in the way of us achieving the success that we want with our business

  • It is crazy to believe that we are now in July and that the 1st half of the year is over! Time has sure flown by and just like that we started Q3 and along with it the 2nd half of 2024. We can’t change how the 1st half has went because that is past us now, but we can learn from it, reflect on how things went, analyze our metrics and KPIs, and make a plan as to how we would like the 2nd half of the year to go and the goals we would want to achieve. It doesn’t matter if you feel like you have “won” or “lost” this year so far, we have to keep in mind that we are just halfway through it and we have another half still to play.

    Listen to to this podcast episode as we discuss:

    What to do if you had a great 1st half of 2024? How to keep that momentum going and make sure we don't mess things up?What if 2024 has not gone your way so far, what can we do? How to take the emotion away from our decisions?The importance of tracking metrics and KPIsWhy you should invest some time into analyzing and planning for the remainder of the year, and what questions to ask yourself when you do thatHow to take control of your business and stop chasing your tail around

  • It is safe to say that one of our biggest struggles as entrepreneurs and business owners is time management, especially when it comes to work-life balance and setting our boundaries. The year of 2023 and the first few months into 2024 were challenging due to changes we had at the clinic, especially when it came to staff which pulled me back into spending more time directly on patient care compared to what I had planned, and that made me realize that before parenthood I was able to compensate and push forward because I simply had more available time on my day
 on my week.. or my month.

Technology has also helped us surround ourselves with colleagues who are online, which is great because sometimes it can feel very lonely out there as a canine rehab therapist and business owner, but we also need to be careful with what is getting discussed on those forums so we don't feel trapped by false beliefs. Listen to today's episode as we discuss:

    why our brain wants to keep us in the "comfort zone" allowing us to create these false beliefs we tell ourselveshow to rise above false beliefs, and prove everyone (including ourselves) wrongThe #1 false belief for canine rehab therapists: raising our prices and worrying about people's willingness to pay what we are worthwill people spend money on rehab during harder economic times? Yes, but they will want to make sure they are getting value in returnwhy selling a commodity or modality of treatment is not the answerhow to put systems in place and develop a mindset that will lead towards a thriving and sustainable canine rehab business
