We made it!

How has this year shaped up for you, Friend?

Which camp do you fall into? 

😒 “Pour me some eggnog + wrap this year up FAST!” 

😃 “SO proud of all my accomplishments - it’s been a good one!”

😑 “It’s a mixed bag Ronda, I’m just glad I made it…”

Well, no matter where you fall, I want to share a simple year-end review that will help you package up the good and the “bad” in a productive (and FUN) way. 💯

This is something I’ve been doing for 20 years now, and it’s helped me grow my business (+ improve my life). The best part is that it’s not overly complicated like so many of those other end-of-year practices! Honestly, it’s thoroughly satisfying. 

So grab a journal, and something to write with, and join me on this week’s episode of the Clinical Entrepreneur Podcast, where I walk you through the 4-step year-end review that every wellness practitioner needs. 

But before you hit “play”, a heartfelt thank you for following along and letting me be part of your life over the past year (or more). I truly appreciate every single one of my listeners because, without you guys, I wouldn’t be able to do what I love doing!

Here’s to an amazing year ahead, in your wellness practice + your life. 🥂

We’d love it if you left an honest review. They go a long way in helping us build awareness so that we can support even more clinicians (just like you!) in building profitable practices. 

If you’re alive + breathing, you have a story to tell, and you can use it to grow your practice. 

I’ve always loved the idea of storytelling in business, but I needed someone like Jude Charles, storyteller extraordinaire, to break it down for me, step-by-step.

This week on the Clinical Entrepreneur Podcast, Jude is back with the 3rd and final episode in this 3-part series of using storytelling in business to connect with more patients + grow your practice. 

Stories can be the difference between:

💁‍♀️ someone wanting to work with you &

🙋‍♀️ someone needing to work with you

If you missed the first two episodes, be sure to check those out because that’s where Jude put me in the hot seat, extracting my own juicy stories with some good laughs + tears. 😭

But, this week Jude shares 3 easy places to start using your stories now. 

[Hint, hint: if you’ve ever wished you had a magical way to improve patient follow-through, you’re gonna want to hear this episode!]

And remember, these stories aren’t something you just tell once or twice. They’re meant to be used over and over again in your marketing and with your patients. Once you have your stories down, just rinse + repeat.

So…what are you waiting for?? 

Grab your coffee, and learn how to use storytelling in your practice!

Do you hate the idea of “selling” your services?? 

Then try telling a story instead!

Today on the Clinical Entrepreneur Podcast, I’m chatting with Jude Charles, storytelling extraordinaire, about the power of using stories to grow your wellness practice. 🗣

Knowing how to utilize this skill makes marketing your business SOOO much easier!

Why?? 

Because it doesn’t feel like you’re selling when you focus on stories! 🙌

Now…if you’re over there, all up in your head, thinking:

“Yeah but, I don’t have any great stories to tell”

“Yeah but, that wouldn’t work for me, I’m not good at storytelling” 

I totally get it because I felt the same way! 

That is, until Jude helped me draw out my own little juicy story nuggets. I even got teary-eyed talking about one of them, which signaled that we had hit a little piece of marketing gold. 😌

So press play & learn how to grow your wellness practice using the power of storytelling! 🔥

Plus, find out how to: 

• Connect with more patients using just handful of powerful stories
• Pick the right stories & attract your perfect clients
• Clarify your message and share it simply and powerfully

It’s the perfect episode to get your wellness practice ready for 2023. 🥂

Let me ask you something, friend → 

Are you one of those practitioners who somehow manage to get everything done on a regular basis? 

I mean…of course, you show up for your patients, but I’m talking about all “that other stuff”….

😳 The updated “welcome sequence” emails

😳 The social media posts

😳 The annual branding & office photos 

😳 Those darn Practice Better automations 

Are you ticking all those boxes off like a total boss each week? 💃

Orrrrrr, are you falling behind?? 😩

If it’s the latter, you’re NOT alone. 

And here’s the deal. 

One of the biggest determinants of success is accountability, and it applies to growing your practice just like it does to any other area of your life!

Now, I know this topic might sound a little “vanilla”, but:

If you don’t have an accountability partner, your business may not be as successful as it could be.

It’s a simple concept, but figuring out what to actually DO about it is not so simple. Which is exactly why I’m breaking it down for you on today’s episode of the Clinical Entrepreneur Podcast. 

We’re talking about how having an accountability partner helps you: 

🧚Get more done in your business

🧚Make better decisions about your time

🧚Stay focused on what matters most

🧚Feel excited about what’s possible!

🧚Stay sane amidst the chaos!

Because if there’s one piece of advice I can give you about how to really grow your practice FAST, it’s finding someone to hold you accountable to getting shiz done! 🔥🔥🔥

You can do this, friend!

Let me ask you this:

What do you think your patients say about you?? 

If asked, they might say things like:

🗣 “She’s always really friendly.”

🗣 “He helped me get to the bottom of that joint pain.”

🗣 “The herbal blend she recommended is actually working - it’s great.”

🗣 “Yeah she’s been pretty great - you should try her!”

But here’s the problem…that’s only IF someone asks about you!

Butttt, what if people just couldn’t keep their mouths shut about how wonderful you were?? 

What could that mean for your business? 

The answer → A LOT!! 🔥🔥🔥

Today on the Clinical Entrepreneur Podcast, I’m sharing 5 Ways to Dazzle Your Patients & get them talking about you at:

🗣 Dinner parties & social events 

🗣 Family holiday gatherings 

🗣 School drop-off & pick-up lines 

These are things you can start doing this week that don’t take much money or time! 

Little personal touches (when they’re least expected) that will set you apart from the rest. 

So, what are you waiting for…let’s get those patients talking shall we?!

warning → you may want to grab a snack because there’s talk of charcuterie boards & fancy fudges. But don’t worry…I’m not suggesting you host dinner parties or load your patients up with unhealthy treats. 

Or am I???

You’ll just have to listen for the full scoop. 🍫🫒

If your wellness practice hasn’t broken yet, it’s going to. 

In fact, you can predict with pretty good success when your business is going to break.

Better yet, you can prevent it.

Orrrr… if it’s too late for that, I’ll show you how to recognize the gift of a broken business & how to fix it in 4 proven steps.

hint, hint: it has to do with outdated systems + processes. 🙅‍♀️

Because, if you’re anything like most practitioners, you started your business on a shoestring budget, with a DIY spirit. 💪

Buuuut… it’s probably time for some upgrades. 

How can you know?

Ask yourself this → If your business were to grow by 3 or 10 times (!) 🥳, could your current business systems keep up? 🧐

If your answer is “no”, your business is in danger. ⚠️ 

If your answer is ‘maybe’ or ‘I don’t know,’ ask yourself these questions:

• Do I have an office policy document?
• Do I have an automated system for following up with patients?
• Am I still using paper charting?
• Do I have an EMR I love?
• Do I  have an automated system for collecting & sending emails? 
• Do I have and use a CRM?

We’re breaking it all down (see what I did there 😂) in today’s episode, so grab your pen & paper 📝, get cozy ☕️, and hit play! ▶️ 

Let’s take your business from breaking to remaking in 4 simple steps.

Naturopathic doctor & medical herbalist, Berris Burgoyne, jokes in this podcast that perhaps she was a witch in a past life – and in the spirit of the upcoming holiday, we’ve made a podcast to help YOU brew up your OWN clinical potions! ✨🍵

Berris has been a successful naturopathic doctor in Brisbane, Australia for more than 3 decades, and she credits much of her early (& continued) clinical success to her knowledge of custom herbal blends.  

Berris believes that offering custom blends set her apart from other health practitioners and made her practice “sticky.” 

Wondering what the heck a “sticky practice” is?? 

We cover that! 

Plus, how to address the most common patient complaints with herbal blends and the advantages of making your own custom ones in house.

And if you’re worried about dosing – don’t despair! Berris goes over easy “1-2-3 blends” and offers some important points of caution you don’t want to miss. 

Get ready to be enchanted, friends! 

Dare we say this episode is spellbinding?! 😏
