Today, I’m going to share 7 steps to hiring your perfect employee. This is one of the most common topics we talk about in the CashPT Platinum Mastermind because hiring is vital to your business. As I always say, “Hire slow, fire fast.” This conversation focuses mainly around hiring physical therapists for your practice, but the same principles can apply to hiring any position.

Today, I’m going to share some of the changes and milestones in my business over the past few months. I know some people won’t be happy to hear this, because they think it isn’t possible for them. But really, it’s possible for anyone. So many of our mastermind members are hitting milestone months!

Today, I sit down with a returning guest of the podcast, Dr. Jess Jenney from WanderlustPTs. She’s also a long-time member of the CashPT Platinum Mastermind and my friend! Jess shares a little bit about her story and her path to building a multi 6-figure business. In addition to living her life by design, Jess helps other PTs design their ideal work-life balance through freeing up their time and location.

If you don’t know where you want to go, you’ll never get there. About a year ago at one of our Platinum Mastermind retreats, we spent about two hours talking about goal setting and creating a vision for your life. We even created vision boards to help us keep track of our targets.

When someone cancels an appointment in your clinic, assume they just had a scheduling conflict. Don’t go into it thinking they are having buyer’s remorse. When someone no shows, don’t take it personally. Things like this happen to the best of us. 

Try to put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Try to look at it from their perspective. Before you respond, sit for a minute and think about the possible reasons something happened.

Assume the other person has the best intentions.

The short answer is having “leverage” means I’m able to use my time to magnify my income and results as well as others income and results.

If I have software and team members that save me time and generate more income and results than I can in my own, I have leverage.

Stop trading Time for Money with the leverage you build. Most people are stuck here, especially physical therapists. That’s the trap schools, insurance and even society want you to fall into.

Two ways to get our of the time for money trap

1. Sell online -> it must be evergreen, not just 1:1
2. Sell 1 to many 
3. Hire other people & leverage software to do the technical work and service delivery for you

You leverage your current income to build your future investment income

Leverage is power - power for good in your life and the lives of others.
