Being the best at anything takes commitment to one’s purpose, the ability to confront what is in front of you, and the toughness to remain dedicated regardless of the obstacles you will have to face. For many of us, failure in these areas is self-induced and the rest are simply other considerations that we went along with. In this episode, I want to address YOU as the key element in this equation – you are by far the most important and all the other identifying elements of you as the physical therapy owner, leader, and executive are all built off of: the real YOU, the true YOU, and the once uninhibited YOU (hopefully some of you still are). 

The real YOU has NO self-doubt. The real YOU makes decisions without public opinion. The real YOU knows what’s right and what’s wrong in your HEART. Remember this: having self-confidence is built on keeping small promises to yourself and not breaking them.  

Once upon a time, I was that owner. I thought it was a good idea to run my practice as a democracy and took popular opinion as the path to follow. So many others that I have worked with have fallen into this trap as well over the years. We do this as an attempt to be liked or admired, rather than choosing to do what is right.
