Podiatry Legends Podcast

Elan Silver was named Podiatrist of the Year 2023 at the Allied Health Awards. He owns Silver Podiatry in Inglewood, Western Australia, and his podiatry story will astound you.

He initially studied optometry but had to leave because of colour blindness and astigmatism, so he transferred and got a degree in Anatomy and Human Biology.

After completing his first degree, he decided to study chiropractic. In his final year, he became disillusioned because he felt they did not address the lower limb, especially limb length discrepancies, and how this would affect long-term treatment outcomes for patients. Elan thought, surely you should start at the bottom and work your way up.

He mentioned his concerns to a lecturer who said that's how you make your money.

This dissatisfaction led him to investigate the world of podiatry. He decided he would not work as a chiropractor and would go back to university and study podiatry. So, he packed up his life in Perth and started his podiatry degree at the Charles Sturt University in Albury, New South Wales.

Upon graduating, he immediately moved back to Perth. After working for other people initially, he decided, as a mature graduate, that it was time to start working for himself. Since then, he has never looked back; the rest is history.

DO YOU THINK DIFFERENTLY FROM THE AVERAGE PODIATRIST?

If you do, I want to let you know you're not alone, and most of my coaching clients feel the same way, which is why they chose to work with me over a larger cookie-cutter coaching company.

My coaching clients do not have big egos; they are quiet achievers and like to fly under the radar, but they do want to evolve their podiatry businesses into something special, something they can be proud of and say, "This is mine".

If this sounds like you, we should talk.

You can visit my website, www.tysonfranklin.com, for more information or use my ONLINE CALENDAR to schedule a free thirty-minute Zoom meeting.

During our call, I will explain to you the Thriving Podiatry Business Model, which I've developed over many years. I guarantee that you will have more clarity on what is best for you and your business after we talk.

Have you ever considered why, sometimes, your effort isn't enough? You can work your ass off, and you will not get what you're looking for.

In this episode, Jason Feifer, Editor in Chief at Entrepreneur Magazine, a magazine entrepreneurs read to gain insights into building their businesses and careers, will shed light on this question and many others.

Sometimes, massive mistakes can be turned into positives. For example, Smedberg's Farm, in Maine, USA, is the home of the LOBESTER.

We also talk about:

• His interview with actor Mark Wahlberg - Mark Wahlberg's Secret To Becoming More Disciplined

It's Not Just About the Hustle

Banging your head against a wall will not turn that wall into a door. But if you shift that effort into something more constructive and realistic and fits better with your skill sets and the resources available, it can create something just as good.

Content creation

When you produce content, you're not creating it for yourself; you are making it for an audience, so you better understand that audience, how to serve them, and how you can deliver it in a way that no one else can.

Stop Doing What People Hate

This is a quote from Jesse Cole: 'Stop doing what people hate'. Every business does things people hate, and they think it's ok because that's how things have always been done.

Think about it and make an effort to eliminate them. Why would you do it to your clients if it annoys you when dealing with other businesses?

Final Tip

Treat your time like your most valuable resource. You don't spend money at total random, and you should not spend time at total random either.

"I was a frustrated business owner for five years until I started working with Tyson. He helped me transform my business in a matter of months, resulting in an instant increase in revenue and the ability to attract and retain top quality podiatrists. Over the past three and a half years, working with Tyson has changed my life drastically. I was able to take time off to start a family, triple my business revenue, and finally achieve work-life balance. I highly recommend Tyson to anyone who is looking for a business coach."

- Jessica Haydock (Sole Focus Podiatry, Toowoomba)

BUSINESS COACHING

Hi, I'm Tyson Franklin, and if you're looking for assistance to help grow and evolve your podiatry business, please talk with me before you commit to a larger coaching company that will more than likely, after their initial call, hand you off to an employee who may or may not know much about podiatry. You deserve better!

I only work with a small number of one-on-one clients at any one time, and they all work directly with me, so if you have a spare thirty minutes, let's talk before you commit anywhere else.

Emily Donker is a podiatrist, professional triathlete, and owner of Running Fix in Brisbane. Her business is focused on the active patient requiring podiatry, gait analysis and running coaching.

In this episode, we discuss how Emily got involved in triathlons and the progression to move her from the amateur ranks to becoming a professional triathlete, not too much different in the progression from being a podiatry student to a qualified podiatry professional.

Emily has a unique story, and I think any podiatrist wanting to know how to blend their passion and podiatry career should not miss this episode. There is also invaluable information to help you understand how a professional athlete's mind ticks.
