My wife Belinda has trained me well and I remember all our important dates.

26 Nov 2011 I married the woman of my dreams.

A quick podcast to say hello and to tell the world I love you.

Here's the the next 8 years!

What's important is that we try before we buy!

That works both ways.

I prefer the potential new team mate to come and shadow us while we work to make sure they're comfortable with our setup and how we run things.

Secondly, we also want to make sure the prospective Physio is attentive, caring and self directed in our dealings as they are shadowing.

Win-win all around!

A lot of our processes in building our team is making sure that they are good people from the get go.

It may not mean they're a superstar Physio but that's ok because they can grow and learn their craft.

If you're a bad person - there's no way to fix that.

Here's an update on the seek.com.au effort so far!

After conducting a 2 week time study I realised I need more help.

This prompted me to document the specific jobs/roles that need to be fulfilled and I need to understand how I can support the new team members.

In the end I place an advert on seek.com.au and it was a successful campaign.

Why?

Because I knew who we were after based off my 2 week study.

Given that a lot of high school students have just finished their time in secondary school we thought it may be helpful to revisit what our Physio's were doing at that time!

Leki shares his high school experience and explains how he got into Physio (or the direction) that lead him towards a career in Health.

Enjoy!

Quick update - we've decided to press pause our association with Footscray Rugby Union Club.

We are looking to partner with clubs closer to our footprint of clinics!

Watch this space!

So what are the important things?

Family and Self Care.

Again, I strongly recommend you conduct a 2 week time study to analyse where you are allocated and mis-allocating your time!

After completing a 2 week time study I found some challenges with where my time is being spent!

Highly recommend you keeping a time study for 2 weeks - it can show you where some changes may need to be made.

In this case, I need to offload my Tactical work and move towards more Strategic work!

What I've come to learn from my coaching work with Alex Charfen is that there are tasks I'm completing that can be grouped into something that's Tactical or something that's Strategic.

Tactical tasks are repetitive but necessary things that need to be done in order to move forward. E.g. making a pizza

Strategic tasks are times where you are planning the desired outcome of Tactical tasks. E.g. thinking about how to make the pizza taste better.

As a growing Physio company I am focusing on where to better spend my time to help us grow effectively!

Recently I was interviewed by a group of GPs to determine whether we would be the right fit for providing healthcare to their customers.

Typically, I'm a bit nervous (like most people) when you're going into an interview.

Something I've been working on is answering question thoughtfully and asking questions in a manner that gets more information from them then if I asked a 'yes or no' question.

I'm simply sharpening up the 'discomfort gland' so I can continue to improve on being put under the pump!
