OTs Get Paid Podcast

Lindsey is a thoughtful, strategic OT who’s playing the long game. She’s focused on giving patients MORE of what they need… and getting paid without charging the patients a dime or letting the medical system dictate how much education she can provide!

It’s brilliant — and client-centered. OTs are pretty dang phenomenal.

This week I’m joined by Carlyn Neek, an OT and friend IRL. (That’s right, we’re friends offline as well as in the digital space!)

Carlyn has a powerful message for OTs who are stuck, overthinking, and feeling inadequate.

So if you’ve EVER encountered a challenge or felt inadequate, this episode is for you. (And if you’ve never struggled with this, I’d love to know your secrets!)

“If we give ourselves permission to do the things we’re not good at we will grow tremendously. If we only do the things we're really good at we will stay the same.” — Carlyn

This week’s podcast highlights an OT who started out just like you.

A clinician who was doing the typical OT thing — exploring her interests and diving deeper into a treatment modality she loved.

She also wanted more — more flexibility, more income, and more impact! (sound familiar?)

And she didn’t have an easy road while building her business, in fact life seemed to throw a whole truckload of lemons at her all at once.

She could have quit. Many of us would have… but she took one little step at a time, and just— kept—going.

The OT I’m talking about is Cheryl Albright of Soul to Soul Yoga.

You won’t believe everything she had to juggle while she was building her business! And she’s sharing her secrets for surviving through it all!

So I did a thing… a pretty darn expensive thing. And even though it was scary, I don’t regret it a bit.

You know I’m transparent about my business and money – I can’t be shy about money with a brand like OTs Get Paid!

So – this week I’m dishing all about why I joined a Powerhouse Mastermind. Let me tell ya, it was a BIG investment!

OTs Get Paid has taken off over the past year, and I knew I needed to keep the momentum going without being run over by it. (If you have a business you know what I mean. Nobody wants to be steamrolled by their business.)

I believe what I teach, and I’m walking alongside you as I push myself to continue to refine and grow during this entrepreneurial journey.

What got me here won’t get me to the next level.

I needed a challenge, accountability, and a million dollar squad so I can continue to bring even better resources to the OT community – and that’s exactly what I got by joining a Mastermind.

In this episode, I also share a bit about the upcoming OTs Get Paid Mastermind opportunity. It’s certainly not for every OT entprepruner… but as you grow and scale your business you’ll understand the power behind finding your own million dollar squad.

I’ve noticed a double standard – and I’m calling it out. It’s normal for chiropractors or dentists to sell a practice, right? It’s an asset, so it can be sold…

But why doesn’t this happen with OT clinics? Is this even a thing for OTs?

Why does every aspiring OT business owner have to start from scratch? And if you’re moving away from a business, you just have to close it and get nothing for all your hard work?

I’m saying – IT’S TIME FOR CHANGE.

OT businesses are valuable. It’s time to normalize buying and selling them just like any other business. There’s value in starting with something, rather than starting from nothing.

This week, I’m joined by Nicole MacLean who is the new owner of my former clinic – Spring OT! This episode isn’t just about our story though…

It’s about bringing a new perspective, a shift in our field, and a deeper look into the true value of each and every OT business – including the business YOU are creating! Seriously – even if you’re not planning to buy or sell a clinic, this episode is worth your time.

We also discuss the struggle that so many OTs face – wanting more (time, money, growth, impact…) but being SO limited by the traditional systems.

When you struck out on your own to start your business, did you try to pinch pennies and spend the absolute bare minimum?

Maybe you looked at the online programs, communities, and coaching and thought – “Pfft, I don’t need that junk, who are these ‘experts’ anyway?”

If that sounds like something you’d say, let me tell ya – you’re not the only one.

This week’s podcast guest, Krista Frahm, is an OT who stepped out of patient care and into copywriting. She tried to start her business using only freebies, grit, and problem-solving.

You can probably guess how that worked out… or didn’t.

Let’s just say she went from supreme skeptic to solid believer – all because of the wide array of benefits of coaching.

Are you creating your business so you can gain more time, more money… or more freedom?

I’ve noticed a theme running through the OTs Get Paid Facebook group, my DMs, and even in the 100K Club coaching program.

Your revenue is tied to your time.

And you can’t step back long enough to work on your business (either by yourself or through coaching) because your income immediately drops off when you take your foot off the gas.

I feel this in my bones, and it inspired this week’s podcast, along with a joy-sparking opportunity that came my way.

This time-money trap keeps so many OTs stuck in hustle-mode and short of your income goals. It’s something I’m determined to help you overcome.

OTs deserve more time, money, AND freedom gosh darn it!

Which comes first for your business – clients or a website?

I’m taking a stance in this week’s podcast. It may not be what you’re expecting from a conversation between an OT Coach and someone who writes websites for a living.

Jenny is an OT that jumped into the deep end of entrepreneurship when she realized her clinic schedule would prevent her from signing her kids up for swim lessons. She broke out of the traditional track and is now an OT getting paid as a copywriter. She uses her OT knowledge and love of problem-solving to write websites – for other OTs!

Branding is so much more than your logo and colors – really check out the wording and tone woven consistently through my website.

It’s brill. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. It reflects who we are and what we stand for.

What makes your OT business so unique and valuable that your clients stick like glue and refer their friends?

FYI, this can’t be your answer:

“We provide individualized service and really care for our clients.”

Womp Womp.

I’m just telling you straight.

All OTs are caring and individualized – that’s not what makes you special.

You need to dig deeper – because I am utterly certain there’s something more that turns your clients into lifetime fans.

This week’s OTs Get Paid podcast gives you a framework and clear steps to clarify the ACTUAL unique value of your OT business.

Your business is always on your mind, right?

Whether you’re an Underpaid Therapist with a Business, a Feast or Famine Owner, or a Money to Spare CEO – you’re constantly faced with decisions.

Taking time to slow down and think is the work that drives your business to the next level, and helps you avoid the dreaded shiny-object syndrome.

One of our core values here at OTs Get Paid is, “We Walk Alongside.” We’re not afraid to share and grow with you.

Let me tell ya – we don’t have it all figured out either. One thing I do know is that transparently sharing our journey tends to help other OT business owners.

That’s why this week’s podcast episode is about how I slowed down so we can speed up down the road.
