We've hit record on a coaching call today, so you can hear what happens "behind the scenes" with our clients.

Listen up as we unpack the Loop to 100K, which is one of the frameworks we use to guide our Peeps to $100K a year.

A little bit about my guest:

👉She has a passion for providing accessible intervention to patients with neurological conditions.

👉She has experience in clinical practice, academic research at Harvard, and private practice.

👉She is the co-founder of Imago Rehab, a home-based, stroke-focused OT group. 

(Ironically, in our chat together we came to realize we both lived in Boston and about a kilometer away from each other and both named our sons Charles after the river! Small world!) 

We dig into:

☑️Kristin's current marketing and sales strategies

☑️What is working - and what isn't

☑️How to refocus your time and efforts to bring in more clients. Which means more success for business!

Today I spoke with Dr. Tomeico Faison, and she really blew me away in this conversation!

Do you think Occupational Therapists can only make money one way?...

Do you think creating wealth means starting one business and paying yourself a small salary?

 …Then you need to listen to this!

Dr. Faison shows us that creating wealth is absolutely possible regardless of background, education, familiarity or funds, and that you don’t have to have every step mastered or completely thought out before you get started.

We go over:

➡️Her background and how she was destined for entrepreneurship

➡️The many hats she wears

➡️How she created wealth and built several streams of income both in and out of OT

➡️That it is OKAY to want to make as much money as possible, when the goal is to give back to the community

And much more.

 She is a WEALTH of knowledge, (pun totally intended.)

Why is it so important to celebrate small wins?  Join me and Kelly Beins, another OT entrepreneur for our candid conversation.  Real talk: Kelly is my bestie - we met over 31 years ago on our first day of OT school. And, we have these calls as part of our regular communication. This time, we hit record so you could listen in and see that even without a perfect and proper agenda, celebration with connection has true value as a stressed out and often lonely OT business owner.

“How do I move from insurance to cash-based clients? “

This question is asked regularly by Paid Peeps, and today we are exploring the importance of sales and marketing strategies for cash-based practices and discuss some effective techniques that can help these practices thrive.

Think it’s all fancy tips and tricks?

You might be surprised at how simple this shift can be - and how OTs are especially primed for this occupation-based messaging.

As an OT business owner, it can be challenging to decide when and who to hire first!

(We have a podcast on that, btw. Click here to listen!)

Most OT founders will inevitably hire a contractor first. Contractors are typically paid a flat fee, pay their own taxes and have more flexible working hours and project timelines. Plus, if you’re worried that you won’t have the business to provide them (think Feast and Famine of clients any given month), then contractors seems much safer.

Once you hit $100K and over, are in the growth and scale phase of your business and team leadership, I recommend you take an in depth look at hiring employees.

I know it’s scary.

But there are major advantages to your company, including utilizing Key Performance Indicators to ensure the growth of the employee and the company.

Listen here to take this common topic from overwhelming to “ok, ok. It’s starting to make lots of sense!”

Should you start paying for ads?

We’ve all seen them, we’ve clicked on them, but will they work in YOUR OT business?

Let’s face it - you’d use them, if you could be clear on a) how they’re different than organic marketing b) what type of strategy you should use and c) if they work! Because, you don’t want to be left in the dust.

And, as an OT you are the master of keeping your expenses down - but giving in services, trying to connect with MD offices and meeting with other health care practitioners for marketing leads takes a ton of time and hustle.

What’s the cost of paid advertising, how do I run them and is it worth all the fuss for an OT?

Listen to this episode to find out more with our guest, marketing and paid ad specialist, Jackie Ellis!

"You keep telling us to outsource, Trish. But, like, how?"  In this episode, we discuss the benefits and challenges of outsourcing tasks to virtual assistants, as well as best practices for hiring and managing a virtual assistant or contractor. At OTs Get Paid we've hired many contractors over the years, and our real-life experience is front and centre in this episode.  You're overwhelmed, but don't even have the time to find someone to help - listen here for the steps to simplify!  If you like this week's episode, please share the love with a friend.

Rest is often thought of as a luxury, something that we can do when we have extra time or energy. But the truth is, rest is a fundamental human need. For many people, rest is not a given. In fact, for marginalized communities, rest is often actively denied. Today, we are going beyond naps and examining rest as a key piece to productivity and a justice issue. Particularly, women and helpers, many of whom are responsible for huge "to-do" lists in their homes, their communities and their OT businesses.  Want to learn to take the first step in resisting hustle culture?
