Clinic Owner Interview Series #6: Paul Wright - Set up your business freedom blueprint

Posted by Rick Lau on Oct 4, 2016 5:00:00 PM

 

We're racking up a great collection of clinic owner interviews that all have the potential to completely transform your practice.

Quite interestingly, one of the most recommended business books mentioned by clinic owners so far is The E-Myth by Micheal Gerber. If you've never read that book, Gerber talks a lot about working ON your business, not just IN your business. And putting systems and processes in place that can help automate the majority of things and make things easier for you to make more money in less time.

Many top entrepreneurs speak about the same principles in business. And today we've got one clinic owner who has used these principles to grow out of clinical practice, selling a multichain of clinics, and now travels the world as a business coach and consultant for healthcare business owners.

Meet Paul Wright. Australian-based physiotherapist, turned successful entrepreneur, business consultant, speaker and educator. In this interview, Paul shares some of his secrets on how you too can work on your business, design your business freedom blueprint, and live more of the life you want to live.

Here's what we cover:

  • Learn Paul's journey of opening 10 clinics 
  • Why you always need to think about positioning your business to sell
  • What to do BEFORE you think about opening your next clinic
  • How to get the biggest bang for your buck on marketing
  • One key thing to never put a monetary value on

8 Morning Rituals That Help Me Win My Day

Posted by Rick Lau on Jun 29, 2016 4:51:26 PM

 

You’d have to agree that life (and business) can get very busy, right?

And busy is often an understatement. At times, it can all be overwhelming.

But let me ask you a question. Do you wake up and do this: 

  • Check your email and social media
  • Prepare breakfast and drive your kids to school
  • Rush off to go to work

How much time do you actually have to yourself in the morning?  

Chances are you could be running around in circles as soon as your feet hit the floor and beyond that the day just seems like a blur.

I totally understand. In fact, I used to start my day a dysfunctional mess, too. But over the past few years, I’ve completely altered my routine and it has empowered and changed my life significantly.  

Just like an athlete prepares and train themselves for the big Olympic event. What you do before the day starts sets you up to win (or lose). So how are you starting your day right now?

Today I want to share:

  • A sneak peek inside the hustle and bustle of my life
  • How to switch mindsets and alter your routine
  • Keys to achieving increased productivity
  • 8 (proven) morning rituals that have transformed my daily accomplishments

These tips have worked for me (and other entrepreneurs) and I hope they work for you!

I recently had a coffee date with Kim at the BC Ferries Terminal in Tsawwassen. After talking, I discovered we know alot of the same people and I was inspired by her growth story - I know you will be too. Kim and I also work together at the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and she knows a few people on EO Vancouver, which I am also very involved.  

Since the start of Physio2U in early 2012, Kim has rapidly grown the Physio2U team to serve people from Vancouver to Abbotsford BC. As a strong believer in lifelong learning, Kim also mentors internationally trained physiotherapists helping them obtain their certification in Canada and is involved in health care research at the University of British Columbia.
