This one comes hot on the heels of an "SOS" type conversation a member of my team had with a practice owner who, in her own words, is "$1,000's in debt and ready to close the practice."
I don't give you advice to get out of debt or keep it open, only my thoughts on why such a thing happens in the first place in the hope you can avoid it or change course quickly if you think it's going to happen to you.
And OH YEAH! It's the 600th EPISODE of the show. Thanks for listening this long...

In this one, I talk to another TITAN of the UK Physiotherapy Profession - Phil Evans, of Solihull. 
We talk about how Phil used COVID as the turning point in his business career to move from solo practitioner to growing a real business, how he's built such a strong team that he trusts, and how he instilled a sales mentality into that team... 
Plus how he was able to more than DOUBLE his prices after a rather sobering moment at one of my mastermind events when he realized he was the LOWEST priced physio in the room.
Phil has been a member of the Paul Gough Mastermind
community since 2018 and it's been amazing to see his progress. He's a great guy and deserves every ounce of his success. 
Turn us up nice and loud and enjoy the show.

EP620 "They All Laughed When They Found Out How Little I Was Charging" - The Phil Evans Story

In this one, I interview the amazing Will Harlow. To say that Will is one of the most successful physios I've ever had the pleasure of working with is an understatement.
Will first listened to this Podcast 8 years ago when he was a student... he had no intention of starting his own business but then everything changed when he was told by his manager in the NHS that he'd have to wait SEVEN
years for a promotion. 
He came back to his podcast and the Paul Gough Mastermind community to help him grow his business, hire staff, raise his prices. Alongside that, he's grown his YouTube channel to over 750,000, sold the
rights to his book to one of the biggest publishing companies in the world, and now receives invites to speak all across the world. 
Turn this one up VERY loud and listen VERY carefully. If you want proof that hard work pays off and that running a successful, profitable physio clinic in the UK IS possible, this is the podcast you need to listen to. 
 *Will started his journey with me at one of my London events. the next chance to do that is June 7-8-9 at PPM LIVE in London.

EP619 I Had No Intention Of Starting A Physio Clinic... Then I Listen To Paul's Podcast And The Rest Is History - The Will Harlow Story

In this one I talk to the amazing Dave Mott who grew his physio clinic from 1 person to 16 in less than 8 years. He's moved his clinic (in Bournemouth, UK) from being wholly reliant upon him, to patients happy to see his other 8 therapists. In this one we talk about the big decisions he's made, the lessons he's learned, and why he LOST a fortune on the back of a decision that happened as a result of his success. 
 
Plus, be sure to listen to the end to find out about Dave's GOLD Packages that are being sold in his clinic and involve more than 50 sessions. This is an amazing podcast with a GREAT business owner that is not to be missed. If you're trying to grow past just you and maybe one or two staff, this is your BLUEPRINT for doing so.

Avoid The Biggest Mistake That All SUCCESSFUL Physio Clinic Owners Are Tempted To Make! - Dave Mott's Story (UK Physio)

Is it right that ANYONE could work at your clinic for one week then quit and walk off with a list of all your patients and set up across the street the very next day? 
 
The government seem to think so when this week they announced the END of non-compete agreements completely. They seem think it’s “fair”. Do you? 
 
In this one I ask whether or not the recent announcement by the Government to END NON COMPETE clauses is a good thing or a bad thing for small business owners. Is it progress? Or, is it more Government interference and yet ANOTHER attack on small business owners trying to make an honest living? 
 
This one gets quite heated. Turn me up nice and loud and listen along.

“The End Of Non-Compete!” (Is It Yet Another Assault On Small Business Owners By Government?)

In this one I talk candidly with Chris Stankiewicz, a real TITAN of the UK Sports Injury and Physiotherapy Community. Chris started his business in 2016 - inspired by this Podcast (true story) - and has grown one of the most successful clinics in the UK.
 
In this podcast we spoke about how Chris achieved his success, the lessons he's learned since starting, solving the PEOPLE challenge, the second business he started with his WIFE...
 
...what he did when his head therapist QUIT on the morning of annual planning...
 
...why so many clinic owners in the UK struggle to grow past themselves, as well as the PRESSURE he was under that forced him to make a success of the business. 
 
It's an amazing episode with an amazing clinic owner. Turn us up nice and loud and listen carefully - there's LOTS of great stuff on this one for you to learn from.
