Obviously there are some conditions you don't need to see more than once, but if some one has had chronic back problems for 20 years you're not fixing it in 1 visit.

On this episode I talk about what that thing is and how to retain every patient you should.

This might be the most important podcast I have ever made. This week I am going to talk about compounding interest and how your basically dumb if you aren't utilizing it to your benefit.

When you first start out as a new cash practice owner you will see any patient who needs to be seen. You are hungry to build your clientele and make some money. Eventually though every PT gets to a point where they feel like they have a niche or they want to start targeting a certain demographic of people. Unfortunately the idea of targeting a niche is only a dream if you brand message isn't nailed down. Luckily for all you fledgling cash practice owners out there my good buddy Yves Gege joins the podcast this week to discuss the best practices for getting your brand message dialed in.

Being an entrepreneur can be the loneliest career in the world.

On this episode of the PT Entrepreneur podcast i tell you how to avoid this loneliness and have a group of people to turn to for help, support and answers.
