November 21, 2024Progress, Not Perfection: Shifting Your Mindset to Succeed in Canine Rehab Entrepreneurship 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.
Listen to the full episode as we discuss:
- The mindset shift needed once we become entrepreneurs
- Sequential vs continuous thinking, and how that affects our success in entrepreneurship
- When is the right time for you to start working on your business
- Learning how to cope with failure and how that helps us move forward
- The importance of finding mentorship, guidance, and a community of like-minded individuals who are coming along this journey with you

...more November 14, 2024Overcoming Distractions and Building Success in Canine Rehabilitation 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?
Listen to the full episode as we discuss:
- Why we need to be careful about "shiny object syndrome"
- Why we need to be careful taking advice from someone who has never built or accomplished what we want to accomplish
- The trap behind "passive income" and how to approach that
- How a lack of a game plan leads towards us minoring on small things (and what to do about it)
- The importance of making the main thing the main thing

...more November 07, 2024Embracing Reality in Business: Turning Pain into Growth Opportunities 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:
- The importance of accepting reality as it is, and not as we wish it to be
- How failure to accept our reality will lead towards cloudy judgement and decisions
- Why we need to seek our truth as uncomfortable as that may be
- How our pain and challenges reveal our limitations and help expose our own weaknesses
- Turning our pain and challenges into growth opportunities

...more October 31, 2024The Caseload Roller Coaster 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!
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?
Listen to the full episode as we discuss:
- How I overcame the caseload roller coaster back and built a sustainable flow of new patients
- The importance of knowing and understanding the fundamentals of marketing and sales
- Developing strategies and implementing systems that make your marketing and sales as streamlined, predictable, and scaleable as possible

...more October 24, 2024There is no "Cheapest Best" 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!
As we get near the end of this year and the beginning of a new year, many canine rehab therapists start to wonder and worry about how to go about raising their fees once the new years starts. As we start to have those thoughts we also start to feel anxious and stressed about having to have a money conversation with clients while worrying about what they will think of us. Does that sound familiar?
I used to feel the same way, but over time worked on my money mindset and learned strategies on how to raise our fees without feeling guilty or anxious about it. I understand that this can be an uncomfortable topic and situation to handle, but we need to remember that at the end of the day we are running a business and not only we have bills to pay but, most importantly, we need to be paying ourselves!
Listen to the full episode as we discuss:
- What does it mean for us to have affordable fees?
- Understanding how affordability is a relative concept and how to implement payment plans into your business
- What does selling really mean and why it is not a negative thing
- If you provide above average services and deliver above average results, then why are you charging average prices?
- Why we need to be careful developing a business model that places us as the "walmart in canine rehabilitation"

...more October 17, 2024From Clinician to CEO - Two Key Strategies for Canine Rehab Success 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!
There is commonality amongst canine rehab therapists who are business owners and entrepreneurs: the fact that the majority of us actually never entered our profession with a goal of becoming a business owner. More often than not we have found ourselves in a situation where we have to become a business owners in order to make canine rehab work for us, but the challenge then becomes the fact that we have prepared ourselves to become a great clinician but never truly devoted enough time into learning the ins and out of business ownership.
I have shared my story before and that was exactly how I became a business owner back in 2017, and now that is the reason why I love help coaching and mentoring canine rehab therapists into understanding the business side of things so they can grow a profitable and successful canine rehab business of their own. During this journey I have found my passion in learning more and more about business, marketing, sales, operations, leadership, people management, and many other aspects of business ownership… and also through the years, both from my own learning and experience, I have found 2 key things that any canine rehab business owner and entrepreneur needs to keep in mind when it comes to achieving the success in business that they would like to achieve. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:
- Finding a business model that works for what you want and that can be profitable
- The importance in determining how you will structure your fees and how much you will charge for your services
- How marketing is where it all starts and how it can go beyond just attracting new clients
- Why the cost you try to save on marketing will actually cost you a whole lot more in the long run
- How marketing will be key to set yourself apart and for overall business success so you don’t have to rely on anyone else sending you

...more September 26, 2024The Truth About Business Growth 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!
More often than not, when canine rehab therapists seek my help or advice, they are looking for growth within their business. That growth is usually about revenue because they want to pay themselves more or make canine rehab their full-time thing, or about increasing their caseload and getting their schedule busier (although the growth in caseload is often tied up with them wanting to increase overall revenue). But, although I understand the entrepreneurial drive and the human desire to always want more, we need to ask ourselves: is growth only about increasing our revenue or our caseload?
Listen to the full episode as we discuss:
- Why we can't fall into the trap of thinking that growth is always about more
- The importance of finding out what growth means for you, based on what you need from the business and, most importantly, what you want in your life
- Digging deeper to figure out what the real issue is inside our business so we can have a better a plan as to how to address it
- Why business growth will never outpace our own personal growth along this journey of entrepreneurship
- Ask yourself: what does growth means to you over the next 3 months?

As canine rehab therapists and entrepreneurs we are often battling our own insecurities, either clinically for from a business perspective. That is totally normal and quite often we tend to underestimate what we know and overestimate what we don't know, but a challenge that will come from it will be the fact that this self-doubt makes it easy for us to follow through on what we know we hav to do to keep things moving forward, especially when it comes to our business. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:
- Why we need to be careful about always be looking for something new rather than focusing on doing what we need to do today
- We can't commit to anything if we are still looking for something
- The importance of having the confidence that no matter what you will always prevail, and will find the solutions to your challenges
- Asking ourselves 'what can I do TODAY to improve my situation?'
- why education without execution leads us nowhere
