Dr Patrick McEneaney is the owner of the Northern Illinois Foot & Ankle Specialists podiatry businesses, and he has grown it from one to five locations in just a few short years.

As he explains, opportunities are all around us; you've just got to be prepared to jump on them when they arise. If you sit and stare at something for too long, you can make it look both good and bad. 

On this episode we discuss:

• How he started his first podiatry business, and how the next four came after that. 
• Good timing and good marketing 
• Tips on increasing referrals  
• There's no such thing as a bad conversation; you can always learn something from everyone you meet.
• The importance of sharing your failures with others
• The power of masterminding 
• The benefits of making quick decisions
• Why you shouldn't expand too early and overextend yourself.

Two questions he asks his team members:

1. What's your favourite thing you like about working here?
2. What else do you need from me to make your work easier?

Final Business Tips:

1. Find good people to work with you
2. Talk with people who have already been through the experience and don't try to rewrite the book if you don't have to.
3. Hire slowly and fire quickly: Don't keep bad employees longer than you need to.
