The new year is finally here, and with it new goals and hope for a better year But, how do we turn our hopes and wishes into action so we can make this year better than the last? As we move forward, it is important for us to first look back and reflect so we can figure out the best pathway forward. That is what I call "thinking time", and for today's podcast episode we discuss what are some questions we can be asking ourselves as we reflect and move forward so we can unlock our growth in 2025.

For our last podcast episode of 2024 I wanted to share with you all something I recently shared on a group coaching call with our Incubator Mastermind members about shifting our mindset and getting out of our own domain so we can put into motion a game plan in 2025 as to how we will accomplish the goals that we have set for ourselves and our businesses. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

Last weekend I hosted some of our clients for our last Incubator Mastermind retreat of the year, and during those retreats I always start our first session by sharing a variety of lessons and thoughts on business ownership, which as you can imagine comes from my own experience running a business and the lessons I have learned along this journey. One of the lessons I shared was about the importance of building a business that reflects what we want in life and who we are as individuals and business owners, including our own core values and beliefs. With that being said, given the timing with the holidays I thought it would be a good topic to share with you all on today's podcast episode.

Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

One of the things I often hear from canine rehabpreneurs is the challenging on managing our time in an efficient and effective way, especially when we are seeing patients while trying to run a business at the same time. Yes, that is a challenge, and it often gets in the way of us doing the things we need to do to help our business grow because we end up getting so ingrained with the day-to-day of what needs to be done, both with patients but also with administrative tasks. 

The reality is that our biggest challenge is not the time it takes to complete a certain task, but usually the time it takes for us to get emotionally ready or in the right head space to do so. That is the key concept to understand and the reason why we so often think “I don’t have the time”... we do have the time, but we don’t have the time to get emotionally ready to do so. No else is blessed with more time, and that is both the beauty and the curse of it… we all have the same amount of time in a day or in a week, but it comes down to how we are optimizing our time based on what we need from ourselves and our business, and that is what we will discuss today.

Most of us are familiar with P.T. Barnum due to movie "The Greatest Showman" with Hugh Jackman, and just from that movie alone there is already so many lessons that we can take away. However, as you start to read and learn more about P.T. Barnum and understand how ahead of his time he was you realize that there is a lot more to him beyond the movie which helps us understand how much of a visionary he truly was. For today's episode we discuss some of those business and marketing lessons there are still super relevant today, even though that all took place 150+ years ago!

I bet many of us will have goals and aspirations of what we want to achieve in 2025, and a lot of us will get excited for a new year and the premise of a new beginning, but at the same time, we must ask ourselves "what are we doing to plan for that?". If you want 2025 to be different than 2024, then the first step you need to take is review what you have accomplished this year, both from a number and metrics perspective, and reflect back on what went right and why that worked, what went wrong and why it went wrong, what you can learn from it, what stopped you from having a better year….basically, before we look forward we need to look backwards, and then we can start planning as to how we want 2025 to pan out.

With that being said, a goal without a plan is just a wish and at the same time as we make our plans, we also need to some things in mind that I wanted to share with you all today. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

Over the last few months, I have chatted with many canine rehab therapists who are thinking about opening their own business, some of them are not even finished with their certification yet, and a common question I get is when do I think would be a good time to start working on their business. 

To be honest, when starting a business the easy part is creating the LLC, getting the equipment that you need, and make sure you have the basics set up so you can start seeing patients… the hardest part is actually building up the marketing and sales strategies that will be vital for someone to build a successful business, and of course those things don’t happen overnight, and just as important will be for someone to start working on their mindset and personal development which will also shift when we go from being an employee to becoming a business owner.

Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

Last week I asked my business coach why he thought some business owners and entrepreneurs succeed while others don't, and his simple answer was focus and execution. As I thought more about it I realized how much that has affected not just my life and business, but also how I have seen a similar trend through the years with our coaching programs as well. The truth is that it can be so easy for us to get distracted and lose focus, but how do we go about overcoming those distractions so we can build a successful canine rehab business?

Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business!

During a recent call I had with our Incubator Mastermind mentees we discuss the concept of embracing our reality so we can turn our pain and challenges into growth opportunities. Personally, I am not a big fan of the whole “no pain, no gain” mentality. I get where it came from and how that is meant to make us want to push harder, but that mentality with entrepreneurs and business owners usually leads towards a mindset of simply working harder and harder rather than focusing on working on the right things, and ultimately this mindset of simply thinking that working harder and harder will get us where we want to be is what often lead towards us getting stuck in a hamster wheel of business ownership where we are just going through the motions.

I wanted to share with you all a couple of takeaways from that call with our mentees, so listen to the full episode as we discuss:

If you have been in business long enough then you more than likely have experienced the caseload rollercoaster, which is the ups and downs of having a period of time where your schedule is busy and full followed by another period of time when you don't seem to get as many new patients. Does that sound familiar?

It is one of he most common challenges canine rehab therapists are facing when they seek my help and guidance, and also a huge source of stress and anxiety as business owner as it brings a lot of unpredictability to the business. But what can we do about it?
