Podiatry Legends Podcast

Paul Griffin is an outside-the-box thinker and believes the skillset we possess as podiatrists is quite unique and can be utilised in many areas.

Paul graduated from Curtin University, Western Australia in 1998. He ran two podiatry businesses, each with a different clinical focus and in 2009 decided to move away from clinical podiatry to explore a diversified career.

Paul currently splits his time running the education site, Bartold Clinical and is a director of Osaka Footwear Singapore.

In this episode we discuss:

• Results based practice.
• The credibility we have as podiatrists.
• Footwear innovations and trends.
• Building shoes for Osaka Footwear leading up to the Tokyo Olympics.
• Podiatrists are the ultimate footwear reviewers because we get to see how the shoe actually performs with patients (the end-users).
• Reading the play and learning where to position yourself.
• Part-time podiatry is a real opportunity.

Final Tip

Buy yourself some time to do other things, which means making sure you have time in your schedule to make sure it happens. If you try and add it on top of what you're already doing you'll burn out.

Explore what your character is looking for. It could be art, business or other projects, and then make sure you position yourself in that community so you can have those worthwhile, weighted discussions.

Always surround yourself with people that will bring the best out of you.

If you were standing in line at the local grocery store and a stranger walked up and asked you to pay for their grocery items because they didn't have any money, would you reach into your pocket and hand them the money they required, and then trust they'll pay you back next month when they get paid?

If your answer is NO, then why would you give a stranger an account in your podiatry business?

Dr Jim McDannald has practised podiatry in both the United States and Canada and gradually shifted careers from podiatry to online marketing over several years, and now runs a business called Podiatry Growth.

Jim was also on Episode 123: Five Elements of an Online Presence.

• Benefits of outside ideas and perspectives.
• Learning you're not out there by yourselves.
• Ways you can collaborate.
• Instagram and Facebook.
• Learning best by doing.

"The fun of collaboration is the comradery you create with others".

Carly O'Donoghue is the owner of Stepping Out Podiatry on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. In this episode, Carly shares the pain, guilt, and decision-making process in wanting to be both a successful business owner and a good mother.

Carly openly shares what it's like to go through a four to five year IVF program and try to run and podiatry business and treat patients, all the while being asked by well-meaning patients, "when are you going to have children"?

We also discuss:

• The benefits of good communication skills
• Learning to talk to patients
• Just do your job; that's all you need to do

"Manners don't cost you anything. Saying please, thank you and sorry, with a smile doesn't cost you anything. So whether you're poor or rich, it doesn't matter".

• Why women are strong yet have so much self-doubt
• Go through IVF and miscarriage
• The tough decision on going back to work
• Thinking about what others were going to say and being judged by others
• Balancing work and family
• MUM GUILT
• Deciding if you need to get a locum or hire someone full-time. It would be best if you thought about your end goal.

Get Off the Dance Floor & Get On the Balcony

When you're on the dance floor, you cannot see anything but other dancers; however, you can see exactly where everyone is positioned with each other if you get on the balcony and look down. Your business is the same.

One day a week is not enough time to run your business if you have multiple employees. Day one is used for planning, and days two and three is for implementation.

Leadership

Leadership is a different skill set that must be learned, and there are no shortcuts or secrets; it just takes time.

Final Tip

Be self-aware. It's not fair to compare yourself to others that have been qualified much longer.

Be realistic about where you are now and where you need to be in the future. Only compare yourself to the progression to where you were last year.

One of the best habits you can develop in your podiatry business, which applies to both the business owner and ALL TEAM MEMBERS, is to Under Promise and Over Deliver.

Too often, though, Podiatrists do the exact opposite.

They over promise and under deliver, which causes many long-term problems for the podiatry business.

Most podiatrists understand the fundamental marketing concepts needed to attract a consistent flow of new patients to their podiatry businesses. Still, when it comes to marketing their business to attract new talent and team members, they often fall short.

My guest Sam Harrop will cover eleven critical areas of your podiatry business that need your attention if you want to become an employer of choice and have potential team members chasing you instead of the other way around.

Sam is the author of 'Getting Stuff Done' and 'Small Business Big Exit'. He is also the Business Maximiser Programme founder, a coaching program designed for ambitious tradie business owners. He helps them to maximise sales, productivity, and cash flow.

• Q: What is the purpose of a business? A: It's a vehicle to achieve your personal goals.
• What is your brand as an employer?
• You are effectively marketing yourself as an employer of choice so you can attract people.
• Is your podiatry business first-class, business, premium, economy and freight?
• Why paying podiatrists more money is not the answer.

  • The promise of the job
  • How you articulate it

• Why using words such as Innovative, Friendly, Family Business in your job ads are no good.
• Why would somebody work for you?
  • Do you know your ideal candidate?
  • Are they a good fit?
