On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Carrie Pagliano joins me to discuss women as leaders and entrepreneurs in physical therapy. Carrie Pagliano currently serves as President for the Section on Women's Health of the American Physical Therapy Association and is the owner of a private women's health/pediatric pelvic health clinic in Arlington, VA. In this episode, we discuss: -How Carrie manages being a mom, leader and entrepreneur in physical therapy -How to elicit the needed support from your tribe to catapult you to success -A framework for creating value and solving people’s pain points when building your own practice -Embracing your vulnerabilities and practicing gratitude over even the small successes -And so much more!   The variety of settings and time management structures in physical therapy afford women the opportunity to manage work and life, as Carrie reminds, “We have so many roles in our profession in which women and specifically moms can choose to be a part of, depending on where they are in their family development.” Women bring value to the workplace and Carrie believes, “Regardless of where we are in our career and family life cycle, we have a lot to offer.”   Jumping at opportunities when they arise, regardless of the timing, has helped Carrie grow into leadership positions.   Carrie stresses, “It’s an uncanny ability that I think women have is making things happen.”   Success in any endeavor is a product of the support received from those around you and Carrie has found that, “It’s not about me; it’s everybody around me who helped make this happened.”   For more information on Carrie: Carrie J.

In this episode, I get to talk with Mike Eisenhart.   Mike and I discuss his entrepreneurial journey, some current projects, his father's "drive-by" business book drop-offs, and a bit about the mysterious Graham Sessions.   Mike notes that employers' healthcare spending is rising rapidly, and at least one-third of that expense is movement related. His mission is to help people through prevention while helping businesses save money and increase production through implementing cultural changes to promote healthier lifestyles.   Mike is an entrepreneur, a physical therapist, the former president of the New Jersey Physical Therapy Association, and a passionate advocate for living healthy.    He can be reached at Pro Activity and on Twitter @MikeEisenhart.   I hope you enjoy this episode and please let me know what you think over at SturdyMcKee.com.

We all make mistakes during test preparation, but hopefully you don't make a bad mistake on test day. Yeah, well I made a rookie mistake just this year that caused me to experience anxiety like I have never felt before. I thought for sure that I had really messed up this time... Seriously, I imagined, "EXTRA, EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!" "THE NPTE EXPERT," FAILS A STANDARDIZED TEST! I want to take you inside of my head and explain this whole situation.

Have you ever been pressured to do something that you didn’t feel comfortable with? I know that I have… I have been pressured to smoke, drink underage, and a bunch of other stuff with negative consequences. I found out that there is another type of peer/familial pressure that is not based around doing something considered harmful, unethical, or illegal. This kind of pressure catches you off guard. Peer/familial pressure regarding the NPTE makes you uncomfortable, and depending on your choices, can have consequences that can make you feel worse than you've ever felt. < tune in to today’s podcast as I open up about this tough subject >

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking to many attendees at the Private Practice Section Annual Meeting in Chicago as few weeks ago. I asked people to answer 2 questions: 1) What was your biggest take away from the day? 2) How do you think it will change the way you practice?   This short and sweet episode is a great recap of the PPS meeting and I hope it will inspire you to attend next year!

LIVE from the Net Health Event at the Private Practice Section Meeting in Chicago, Sturdy McKee joins me on this episode to discuss finding your core vales and your vision as components of business management. Sturdy is a business coach, entrepreneur and business owner who also happens to be a physical therapist and private practice owner. As a business coach and instructor, Sturdy brings the practical knowledge of owning, operating and growing businesses, combined with extensive training and learning, to clients who want to improve their business operations and achieve their personal and business goals. In this episode, we discuss: -Current challenges facing the physical therapy profession -What is a vision of meaning? -The top three qualities Sturdy looks for in job candidates -How to motivate employees with Key Performance Indicators -And so much more!   Sturdy stresses that a vision for your business should be put into practice daily in order to get your team members fully aligned behind it. He stresses, “You don’t want core values to be aspirational. You don’t want them to be things you hope for and want to do some day—They need to be actual rules you live by now.”   New physical therapy graduates are skilled in treatment and clinical judgment, however, they have had limited opportunities to develop softer skills such as communication and developing patient rapport. Sturdy advises new graduates, “You don’t go work on the strongest muscle group, you work on the stuff that isn’t.”   Coaches of athletic teams share many similarities with business leaders and many coaching tactics can be applied to business management. Most importantly, Sturdy has noted that, “[Coaches] don’t focus on the outcome, the metric, what they focus on is the process.”   For more information on Sturdy: Sturdy is a business coach, entrepreneur and business owner who also happens to be a physical therapist and private practice owner. His “Why” is to help people succeed. He has a special place in his heart for physical therapist entrepreneurs and private practice owners. As a business coach and instructor, Sturdy brings the practical knowledge of owning, operating and growing businesses, combined with extensive training and learning, to clients who want to improve their business operations and achieve their personal and business goals.   Sturdy created and taught “Clinicient University”, a 2 day business crash course for Clinicient client owners and operations executives. Attendees of this 2-day course realized an average increase in revenue of 8.9% in the first 3 months following attending with the top of the range at 22%. Sturdy has served as an EO Accelerator Mentor, helping business owners define their vision, mission and values, as well as achieve their business goals. He spent the last year building a team of business coaches at Clinicient, an EMR & Revenue Cycle Management company for physical, occupational and speech therapists.   Sturdy finds immense satisfaction in coaching and working with business owners and executives to help them achieve their business and personal goals.   Resources discussed on this show: Jim Collins: Big Hairy Audacious Goal New Zealand All Blacks Kelly Duggan LinkedIn PPS Conference Sturdy McKee LinkedIn Sturdy McKee Twitter   Thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!

Let's go over the 2018 NPTE changes. So now you are in a position, just like me and several others, who have taken a standardized exam and now the test creators are changing the test format. These changes wouldn’t be so scary if there weren't social media commentary hyping up the idea. I want to shed some light on this so-called "different exam." Most of all, I want to explain why these changes could cause you not to get the 600.

LIVE from the Ascend Conference in Washington DC, I am joined by CEO and Co-Founder of Strive Labs Scott Hebert to discuss business metrics for physical therapy practices. At Strive Labs, we're changing the way individuals and health systems manage the most common health condition in the United States: musculoskeletal disease. Our care management platform enables healthcare providers to inform, engage, and empower their patients to reach their recovery goals and avoid chronic injury. In this episode, we discuss: -How Strive Labs manages customer relationships from acquisition to retention -The most important business metrics for physical therapy owners -How to calculate your Net Promoter Score -Crafting relevant email campaigns for current and prospective patients -And so much more!   Promoters are people who are going to recommend your services to friends and family. In order to create a net promoter, you may need to go beyond only satisfying customers. From Scott’s experience, he stresses, “Satisfaction is important. Satisfaction is the foundation of any good business, but what people have started to realize is that satisfaction in many ways is kind of worthless. Loyalty is what’s priceless.”   There are dozens of ways potential clients can stumble upon your services; most of them are via online platforms. Because of this, Scott encourages all practices to maintain an online presence. He has found that, “If they are looking for physical therapy, you need to be able to be present in that local region.”   As your business grows, you may find yourself having difficulties finding ways to scale or automate certain aspects of your responsibilities. If you are wondering if automated email marketing is right for you, Scott suggests, “That moment you start to feel like you’re losing control of things… that could be a moment to start considering it.”   For more information on Strive Labs: At Strive Labs, we're changing the way individuals and health systems manage the most common health condition in the United States: musculoskeletal disease. Our care management platform enables healthcare providers to inform, engage, and empower their patients to reach their recovery goals and avoid chronic injury. Our team of creative thinkers, healthcare professionals, industry experts, and technologists are all working together to develop new solutions for improving the patient experience. In 2017, Strive Labs became part of the WebPT family, and together, we’re going to help rehab therapists obtain new patients, retain existing ones, and get all of them better faster.   Resources discussed on this show: Strive Labs Website Net Promoter Score Survey Monkey Google My Business Mail Chimp Infusion soft Rehab Therapists Give Back Scott Hebert Twitter Strive Labs Twitter   Thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!

The first piece of advice that I always tell my students is, "Make sure that you are asking the why questions and not just taking information off of face value." We do that too often. Now that we are studying for one of the most critical exams that we will take in our PT career, it is vital for you to be a cautious consumer. So what do I mean by that?   Check out my website: thepthustle.com Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thepthustle/

One of my most favorite topics. Confidence has such a big impact on tests scores. You already know that I come from a background where I wasn’t very confident.  A background where I felt like I was the worst test taker out there. The person that you know just didn’t have it. Just wasn’t good enough. Just didn’t study hard enough. Whatever it was, I was not good at test taking. And the one thing that I will say is that I felt like I was always out on an island by myself.   I felt that everyone else had whatever it took to do well on the SAT’, the ACT’s, the MCAT, NPTE, whatever it was.    They had it. I didn’t.   Check out my website: thepthustle.com Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thepthustle/

Do you ever start to think negative? Do you start to feel that you're less confident with your daily activities or studying or understanding of topics? Did you ever consider that your environment is affecting your NPTE score? Depending on your particular environment, my suggestion is to get the heck out of it NOW! To move on, to get yourself into an environment that is progressive, that is productive, that is a confidence-building team of people that are just going to help you to move forward and do the best that you can do on the NPTE.   Check out my website: thepthustle.com Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thepthustle/

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, I had the pleasure of continuing the conversation following the Women in Physical Therapy Summit with both Dr. Michelle Collie and Dr. Sandy Norby. Dr. Michelle Collie is the CEO of Performance Physical Therapy, a multi-clinic private practice with over 130 employees in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Michelle dedicates time to teaching, mentoring and coaching women through their careers. Dr. Sandra Norby is CEO and Co-Founder of HomeTown Physical Therapy which provides a practice model for ownership and champions the leadership of women in physical therapy. In this episode, we discuss: -Reflections on the Women in Physical Therapy Summit -What it takes to open a private practice and be a female entrepreneur -Why prioritizing self-care may improve your ability to lead others -The future of the Private Practice Section and public advocacy of physical therapy -And so much more!   One of the most important qualities of successful entrepreneurs and leaders is the strength to remain true to themselves. Dr. Collie stresses, “We need to have the courage to be authentic and not change who we are for other people.”   The Women in Physical Therapy Summit has provided an opportunity to build a strong nationwide community. Sandy’s biggest take away from the conference is that, “All of us women now have a confidant or a connection… At a drop of a hat, we’d all be very willing to help them out.”   As evidence supporting the efficacy of physical therapy continues to build, it becomes easier to share this information with the public and juxtapose non-invasive physical therapy treatment with less conservative and more costly interventions. Dr. Collie finds that, “It’s an exciting time for PTs. We are all learning how to advocate better for our profession because we are all respecting and understanding the value of it.”   For more information on Dr. Collie: Dr. Michelle Collie PT, DPT, MS, OCS is the CEO of Performance Physical Therapy, a multi-clinic private practice with over 130 employees in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. A graduate of the Otago University Physiotherapy program in New Zealand, Michelle came to America in 1994 to gain additional clinical experience. She completed post-graduate studies at MGH-IHP in Boston Massachusetts followed by becoming a board certified clinical specialist. Michelle chairs the National Private Practice Marketing and PR Committee and devotes much of her time to advocating for the profession of physical therapy. The Performance Physical Therapy team have received multiple awards including the 2012 RI Outstanding Philanthropic Business Award and the 2014 prestigious National Private Practice of the Year award. With over 25 years of experience, Michelle has provided clinical instruction, published articles and presented at a local and national level on physical therapy, marketing, entrepreneurship and leadership. Finally, Michelle dedicates time to teaching, mentoring and coaching women through their careers.   For more information on Dr. Norby: Sandra Norby, PT, DPT is CEO and Co-Founder of HomeTown Physical Therapy, LLC. This Iowa based corporation provides a practice model for ownership and champions the leadership of women in physical therapy.

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Naomi Mdudu joins me on the show to discuss strategies for entrepreneurial success. Naomi Mdudu founded The Lifestyle Edit in February 2015, following a string of successful positions within the fashion industry in the UK. Her love of digital media and the lack of real-life content for women inspired her to create the UK’s first digital lifestyle glossy, which has amassed a loyal following in the UK and US in the short time since its launch. In 2016 she expanded The Lifestyle Edit business to encompass a consulting company that supports the small to medium sized female founded businesses she champions on the site. In this episode, we discuss: -How Naomi made the leap from managing a content platform to consulting small businesses -How to differentiate yourself from others in your space -Strategies for on-boarding new clients and how to manage their expectations -Why you should focus on cooperation over competition -And so much more!   Pursuing entrepreneurial ventures is more about conquering fear than taking excessive risks. Naomi has found, “The fear is more about the unknown. When you really break it down, many of us don’t have anything to lose.” She has found that challenging your mindset will help squelch most doubts saying, “I’m in a really strong and empowered position.”   Seeing your work directly contribute to your personal success and benefit others is one of the many rewards of being an entrepreneur. Naomi offers, “Every day I wake up knowing that my success boils down to me and how much I am willing to put in it. I can’t think of something more liberating than that.”   Expanding a business requires delegation of certain tasks to allow more time to focus on what actually matters. From Naomi’s experience, she states, “In order for my business to grow, I need to constantly be working in my mode of genius and delegate the rest.”   For more information on Naomi: Naomi Mdudu founded The Lifestyle Edit in February 2015, following a string of successful positions within the fashion industry in the UK. Prior to launching The Lifestyle Edit, Mdudu was the fashion editor of Metro as well as City A.M.’s Style Editor and the PR to luxury Italian label Alessandra Ferreira. Her love of digital media and the lack of real-life content for women inspired her to create the UK’s first digital lifestyle glossy, which has amassed a loyal following in the UK and US in the short time since it’s launch. Hailing from South London, Mdudu graduated with a law degree, before turning to fashion and has worked with the likes of Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour and Tatler, all before reaching her mid-twenties. In 2016 she expanded The Lifestyle Edit business to encompass a consulting company that supports the small to medium sized female founded businesses she champions on the site. She’s currently living between London and New York, as she expands The Lifestyle Edit internationally.   Resources discussed on this show: The Lifestyle Edit The Lifestyle Edit Twitter The Lifestyle Edit Instagram Naomi Mdudu Twitter Naomi Mdudu Instagram 1000 True Fans by Kevin Kelly The E Myth Revisited The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Rising Tide Society   Thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!

On today’s episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, I welcome Jonathan David Lewis onto the show to discuss brand survival. Jonathan David Lewis is the author of Brand vs Wild, a Forbes contributor and a brand survival expert at McKee Wallwork + Co. Jonathan’s opinions are highly sought by numerous business and marketing publications, including Forbes, Digiday, and Advertising Age, where he explores the factors of stalled growth and the principles proven to help companies traverse the dangers of the brand wilderness. In this episode, we discuss: -What survival psychology can teach us about growing a business -Why maintaining success requires continual curiosity -Brand differentiation strategies and how to find your niche audience -Brand vs Wild: how to navigate the increasingly harsh business world -And so much more!   Business challenges can create fear, but fear is a primary driver of personal and business growth. Jonathan believes, “Fear is one of those emotions that is fundamental to business and career and life.”   Survival psychology describes three different reactions to adversity: being prepared, becoming paralyzed or panicking. Interestingly, Jonathan describes, “There is very little difference psychologically between a group of survivors who have crashed landed on a mountain or became lost in the desert and a group of business people who are just trying to navigate some sort of unexpected business challenge. We go through the same psychological reaction.”   Being an industry leader breeds complacency and arrogance. Jonathan warns, “One of the biggest enemies of continual learning is success.”   The age of mass marketing is coming to an end. New businesses should seek to be hyper-relevant to a very small tribe. Jonathan reminds us, “It’s okay to be small. It’s okay to be niche.”   For more information on Jonathan: Jonathan David Lewis is the author of Brand vs Wild, a Forbes contributor and a brand survival expert at McKee Wallwork + Co.   As partner and strategy director at MW+C, Jonathan led his firm to be recognized by purveyor Advertising Age as a national leader in branding and marketing, winning the Southwest Small Agency of the Year, national B2B Campaign of the Year, and national Best Places to Work awards.   Jonathan sharpened his skills during the harsh years of the Great Recession, helping brands navigate today’s unforgiving new business paradigms. Jonathan’s opinions are highly sought by numerous business and marketing publications, including Forbes, Digiday, and Advertising Age, where he explores the factors of stalled growth and the principles proven to help companies traverse the dangers of the brand wilderness.   Resources discussed on this show: Brand vs Wild Jonathan David Lewis Twitter McKee Wallwork & Company Jonathan David Lewis Website Survival Psychology by John Leach   Thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Brett Kestenbaum joins me for Part 2 of our discussion on outlining goals and defining success. Brett Kestenbaum is the co-founder of NewGradPhysicalTherapy.com, a website that provides tools and resources to help the transition from student to practitioner, and CovalentCareers.com, a technology whose mission is to make on-demand employment for healthcare professionals possible. Brett is dedicated to helping physical therapists find success and fulfillment in their careers. In this episode, we discuss: -High burnout among new PT graduates and alternative career avenues with this expertise -Goal setting to establish a foundation for success -Meditation as a secret weapon to enhance your focus -Brett’s best advice to a new physical therapy graduate to achieve success -And so much more!   Brett measures success as taking direct action towards terms that you choose for yourself. Brett reminds us that, “Success is a personal feeling that nobody can give you and nobody can define for you except you yourself.”   For busy professionals or entrepreneurs, the mind can be easily cluttered by a never ending stream of tasks. Brett finds that meditation leads to clarity of mind and a greater understanding of your goals and allows you to, “start taking actions in that direction.”   Organizing time without distractions allows for better management of responsibilities and the potential to streamline productivity. Brett believes, “Habits are muscles too. They are something you have to train and you’ll get better and better at creating habits over time and accomplishing tasks within a refined period of time as well.”   For more information on Brett: Brett Kestenbaum is the co-founder of NewGradPhysicalTherapy.com, a website that provides tools and resources to help the transition from student to practitioner, and CovalentCareers.com, a technology whose mission is to make on-demand employment for healthcare professionals possible.

Though treating a wide variety of issues and injuries for a wide variety of people has worked well for many cash practices (including mine), focusing on a niche market can be a great way to get a new practice going strong or develop a new segment of business for your existing practice. This is one of those topics and podcasts episodes that really applies to any type of physical therapy practice, cash based or not. In this episode, you'll learn: One characteristic that every practice must have for success in the cash-based model. Examples of niche markets in which I and other cash practice owners have had success. A consistent way to effectively approach and market to these groups of prospective patients. How to get the most long-term, widespread, and semi-automated effect from the above-mentioned marketing tactics. Resources and Links mentioned in this episode: Episode 2 – Interview with Cash Practice owner, Ron Miller A presentation I gave to personal trainers that has generated thousands of dollars of business for my cash practice (a side note: because I recorded the presentation, utilized it on my website, and marketed it to personal trainers not at the presentation, this has generated new referrals both from the personal trainers in the audience as well as those who simply saw it online.)
