We've only got two real assets - time and money. You've heard me say this many times. And, most OTs choose to save money and spend their time to grow their business. But, did you know there is real value in buying back your time? It's such a key issue that I continue to work on with my group coaching program clients that I'm making this into a two part series.

As an OT business owner, it can be challenging to decide when and who to hire first! (We have a podcast on that, btw. Click here to listen!) Most OT founders will inevitably hire a contractor first. Contractors are typically paid a flat fee, pay their own taxes and have more flexible working hours and project timelines. Plus, if you're worried that you won't have the business to provide them (think Feast and Famine of clients any given month), then contractors seems much safer. Once you hit $100K and over, are in the growth and scale phase of your business and team leadership, I recommend you take an in depth look at hiring employees. I know it's scary. But there are major advantages to your company, including utilizing Key Performance Indicators to ensure the growth of the employee and the company. Listen here to take this common topic from overwhelming to “ok, ok. It's starting to make lots of sense!”

Should you start paying for ads? We've all seen them, we've clicked on them, but will they work in YOUR OT business? Let's face it - you'd use them, if you could be clear on a) how they're different than organic marketing b) what type of strategy you should use and c) if they work! Because, you don't want to be left in the dust. And, as an OT you are the master of keeping your expenses down - but giving in services, trying to connect with MD offices and meeting with other health care practitioners for marketing leads takes a ton of time and hustle.   What's the cost of paid advertising, how do I run them and is it worth all the fuss for an OT? Listen to this episode to find out more with our guest, marketing and paid ad specialist, Jackie Ellis!

"You keep telling us to outsource, Trish. But, like, how?"  In this episode, we discuss the benefits and challenges of outsourcing tasks to virtual assistants, as well as best practices for hiring and managing a virtual assistant or contractor. At OTs Get Paid we've hired many contractors over the years, and our real-life experience is front and centre in this episode.  You're overwhelmed, but don't even have the time to find someone to help - listen here for the steps to simplify!  If you like this week's episode, please share the love with a friend.

Rest is often thought of as a luxury, something that we can do when we have extra time or energy. But the truth is, rest is a fundamental human need. For many people, rest is not a given. In fact, for marginalized communities, rest is often actively denied. Today, we are going beyond naps and examining rest as a key piece to productivity and a justice issue. Particularly, women and helpers, many of whom are responsible for huge "to-do" lists in their homes, their communities and their OT businesses.  Want to learn to take the first step in resisting hustle culture?

Did you hear what Patagonia did recently? The CEO gave away his $3B (that's BILLION) dollar company and dedicated all future profits to fight climate change. That's a bold move. A move with an incredible social and environmental agenda. Which begs the question - does your OT business have an agenda outside of serving your clients, and making money along the way? In this podcast we use the ESG framework (Environmental, Social and Governance) to build a business that not only brings impact to your work, but profit, as well. Listen in to get concrete action steps to WHY and HOW this agenda can add value to your OT biz. If you like this week's episode, please share the love with a friend.

I have strong feelings on this one! (We weren't allowed to use the word "hate" growing up - and yet here it is in my podcast? You know I have thoughts!) The term side hustle has got to go. You know the world has changed, and idealizing over working no longer has a place in entrepreneurship. The current economy and ambition has changed for women post pandemic, and it's time to stop glorifying "go go go" and focussing on sustainability. Does adding MORE to your already MASSIVE to do list fill you with dread? Want to learn how to start, grow and scale your OT biz in a modern and consistent way?
