The One Thing Filter: How to Make Better Decisions as Your Clinic Grows In this episode of the PT Entrepreneur Podcast, Doc Danny shares a simple but powerful idea for clinic owners: pick one core outcome your business exists to create and use it as a filter for every major decision. As your team grows, choices get more complex — what to say yes to, what to ignore, who to hire, what projects to start. Danny breaks down how to choose your "one thing," why money has to be part of it, and how aligning your team around that filter makes leadership easier and your business more stable. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why documentation is the #1 satisfaction killer for many clinicians — and how Claire can remove most of it Why early-stage goals are simple (replace your income) and what changes once you get past survival The "what race are you running?" analogy and how it exposes mismatched decisions How to decide what you actually want your business to look like long term Why "no money, no mission" matters, even for mission-driven clinic owners How PT Biz landed on its own "one thing": helping clients make more money in their clinics How to use a single filter to decide on hires, con-ed, software, space, and new projects How to get your whole team making decisions through the same lens instead of waiting on you Claire: Stop Letting Notes Crush Your Day Danny opens by talking about satisfaction surveys in our profession. Over and over, clinicians say the same thing: they hate writing notes. It is the part of the day that makes them want to quit, and it is the last thing they want to do when they get home. Claire is the AI scribe PT Biz built specifically for physical therapists. Think of it like having a meticulous student in the corner, capturing the details and drafting your notes so you can stay locked in on your patient. Trained on physical therapy workflows and language Drafts notes for you so you are not catching up after hours Helps you remove most of your documentation time and get your evenings back Try Claire free for 7 days: https://meetclaire.ai From Survival Mode to Strategy Early on, business decisions are simple. Your goal is clear: replace your job income so you can safely support yourself and your family. You are willing to work long hours and say yes to almost anything that moves revenue in the right direction. Once that need is met, the decisions get harder. Do you stay small? Do you grow? How big? What kind of life are you actually trying to build around this business? Danny points out that most owners never slow down to answer those questions. They are "jumping out of the plane and building the parachute on the way down," chasing whatever looks like opportunity without checking if it fits the life they want. What Race Are You Actually Running? To explain the problem, Danny uses an endurance analogy. Training for a 5k is very different from training for a marathon. Training for a 100-mile race is different again — in volume, intensity, nutrition, and time. A lot of owners, he says, are making decisions like they are running a 5k — short-term, fast payoff, quick bursts — when in reality they are trying to run a very long, very hard race. Their decisions and their true goals do not match. Get Clear on the Life You Want First Before you can pick a filter, you have to be honest about what you actually want. What do you want your business to look like 5–10 years from now? How big does it really need to be to support the life you want? What matters more to you: growth, time freedom, leadership, selling someday, or staying clinical? Danny suggests sitting down by yourself, and with your spouse or family if you have one, and talking through the kind of life you are trying to build. You might realize you do not need as big of a practice as you assumed — or that you are thinking too small for what you actually want. No Money, No Mission As mission-driven as PTs are, money still matters. Danny shares a lesson from when his wife ran a military nonprofit in Hawaii. Her boss used to repeat a simple phrase: "No money, no mission." If there is no revenue, there is no staff, no programs, no impact. Your clinic is a for-profit business, but the same rule applies. Without healthy revenue, you: Cannot provide for yourself or your family safely Cannot create good jobs with fair pay and benefits Cannot support your community or give back meaningfully Money is simply an exchange of value and trust. You have to get comfortable with it if you want your mission to survive. PT Biz's "One Thing" Filter At a recent planning retreat, the PT Biz leadership team spent hours wrestling with a single question: "What is the most important thing we do for our clients?" They help people with work–life balance, health, relationships, and dealing with the emotional weight of entrepreneurship. Those things matter. But when they drilled down to the one outcome everything else depends on, the answer was simple: The purpose of PT Biz is to help clients make more money in their clinics. When their clients make more money: They can hire better, pay better, and create low-volume environments They can offer true lateral transfers from hospital or corporate jobs They can reduce burnout and build careers that last So now every major decision runs through one filter: "Does this help our clients make more money in their clinics?" How a Single Filter Guides Decisions Once that filter was clear, decisions got easier. Examples Danny gives: Hiring: Does this role help clients grow their revenue or improve their business directly? If not, it is probably a no. Education and con-ed: Does this topic help clients run better businesses and increase revenue? If not, it is lower priority. Events and guest speakers: Do they add to clients' ability to build stronger practices, not just feel inspired? New resources and tools: Do they point back to revenue-producing activities or critical business skills? Instead of chasing every interesting idea, the team now says no to anything that does not connect back to helping clients make more money. Give Your Team the Same Decision Filter As your clinic grows, you cannot be the only person making decisions. Front-desk staff, clinicians, and leaders all have to make calls every day. If they know the filter, they can ask themselves: Does this software, course, hire, or project support our "one thing"? If not, why are we spending time or money on it? When they make a call that is off, you can go back to the filter and see if it is a training gap or a culture issue. Over time, everyone gets better at choosing in the same direction without you micromanaging every move. Your Challenge: Choose Your "One Thing" Danny closes with a challenge for clinic owners: Decide on the single most important outcome your business exists to create. Make sure it is big enough to support the life you want and honest enough to include money. Share it with your team and use it as part of your weekly meetings and training. Run every major decision through that filter so saying "no" and "yes" gets simpler. When everyone knows the race you are running and the "one thing" that matters most, your decisions get clearer, your team gets more aligned, and your business is far more likely to move in the direction you actually want.

2026 is the year of simplicity marketing—and in this episode, Rachel breaks down the exact step-by-step process to launch (or relaunch) your coaching business without overwhelm, burnout, perfectionism, or tech spirals. Whether you're a brand-new health, wellness, life, or mindset coach, or rebuilding your business with more clarity, this episode gives you the foundations you MUST have in place to succeed.

What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Get Clear on Who You Help + What Problem You Solve Clarity = currency. Rachel shares how to identify your ideal client and define the real problem they wake up with daily—so your message lands and your content resonates. No perfect niche statement needed—just direction and specificity. 2. Create ONE Signature Offer Not five. Not a giant program library. One simple, powerful 6-week or 3-month offer that moves clients from point A → point B. Forget perfect PDFs—your framework and confidence are what matter. 3. Pick ONE Visibility Platform 2026 is not the year of doing everything. It's the year of focus. 4. Build a Simple Funnel 5. Start Talking About Your Offer NOW Visibility isn't bragging—it's serving. Rachel coaches you through sharing your story, mission, philosophy, and future client wins before you feel ready. 6. Build Community Your community becomes your biggest business asset. 7. Do NOT Build Alone 90% of new coaches burn out because they try to build with zero support.

What if the burnout, overwhelm, and self-sacrifice so many women carry isn't personal failure, but evidence of a system that was never designed for them? Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Melissa Sonners, Women's Mind-Body Alignment Expert, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 783, to reveal why women aren't meant to live in the constant grind, why true feminine power lives in being instead of doing, and how self-care, intuition, and cyclical alignment can rebuild a woman's health from the inside out.

In this solo episode, Mitch Matthews shares an honest, behind-the-scenes story that started with a season of struggle, turned into a desperate idea… and accidentally launched a movement that's now inspired thousands of people to get clear on their big dreams and goals and move forward with courage and clarity.  You'll hear about the surprising origin of the very first Big Dream Gathering - an experiment that started in their living room and eventually led to events hosted around the country.  These events have helped people to get clear and get connected and get big dreams done. But this episode isn't just about the past - it's about how to move forward.  In it… Mitch breaks down what he calls the "Category Compass" - a science-backed tool that helps you cut through the pressure, bypass fear, and start dreaming again (or maybe for the first time)… even if you feel stuck, tired, or unclear on what's next. Whether you've got big goals or you're just trying to figure out your next chapter… this one's for you. Listen now - and then share it with a friend you want to dream with. Because we're not meant to do this alone. FULL SHOW NOTES HERE: https://mitchmatthews.com/437   00:00 – Welcome back!

If you've ever caught yourself saying "yes" when you really wanted to say "no," this episode is 100% for you.

Conflict doesn't have to drive us apart—it can actually become the doorway to deeper intimacy. In this episode, Kristine Carlson explores how getting clear within yourself first is the key to transforming difficult moments into loving, constructive conversations. She reminds us that conflict isn't “bad” when it's handled with maturity, presence, and care—it can be a chance to strengthen trust and understanding.   Kristine shares how to:   Turn conflict into connection by approaching it as a conversation versus a battle Pause and get clear on your own emotions before you speak Communicate in a way that softens defensiveness and invites openness Access empathy and compassion, even when you disagree Use loving communication to nurture intimacy in your most important relationships   With honesty and warmth, Kristine shows how the way we engage in conflict can either divide us, or bring us closer together.

Talking about four tips for actually getting the answers you're looking for including moving beyond intuition and recognizing when you're asking in ways which is too much or too little when what you're wanting is what Goldilocks describes: And this one is just right.

Tune in to Tim Stating the Obvious, Season 6 Episode 30, where Tim Staton reveals how the law of entropy applies to leadership, offering practical solutions to overcome team disorder. The chaos theory of leadership shows how teams drift toward chaos without intentional guidance, like a messy house or cooling coffee. Learn how to lead a team through crisis by injecting energy, clarity, and vision to maintain team alignment. Staton outlines five key responsibilities of a team leader to combat entropy: Communicate relentlessly: Repeat messages and seek feedback to ensure clarity. Build smart systems: Catch disorder early while fostering innovation. Lead into change: Embrace disruption as a chance for growth. Protect team culture: Recognize efforts and balance focus with rest. Check yourself: Manage personal entropy to lead with positive energy. Discover how to manage a chaotic team by addressing personal entropy—fears or ego that lead to micromanagement or distrust. Staton contrasts chaotic leaders with those who prioritize relationships and self-care, mirroring how God creates order out of chaos through purpose, as reflected in the quote, “out of chaos, comes order.” Real-world examples, like Apple's success under Steve Jobs versus Kodak's resistance to change, highlight the need for leadership in turbulent times. The three C's of leadership—clarity, courage, and consistency—empower leaders to drive success. This episode offers actionable strategies to stop chaos and achieve alignment.

If you don't like the truthHate the lie that made you comfortableUnderstanding this journey of seeking. So often, we fall into a rhythm. A comfortable routine. We build lives around security and predictability. And there's nothing *wrong* with that, necessarily. But sometimes, that comfort becomes a cage. We start to believe we need to control everything - our career, our relationships, our very identities. We trade our passions for practicality, adventure for stability. But what if that control is actually keeping you *from* truly living? But then… something shifts. A little spark ignites within. It's not just boredom, it's a feeling of… incompleteness. A sense that there's more to your purpose, more to *you*. This is your soul starting to whisper. It speaks through intuition – that gut feeling you can't ignore – through synchronicities, those meaningful coincidences. It's a quiet voice, though, easily drowned out by the daily grind, the expectations of others, and… well, our own noisy thoughts. Learning to listen…that's the first real step.When we start to listen to that inner voice, we often become… Samplers. We start exploring. Yoga, meditation, sound healing, new careers… it can feel overwhelming! It's like being at a giant chocolate buffet – you want to try everything, hoping to find *the one*. This is actually our brains doing exactly what they are supposed to do! We're exploring and gathering information, trying to map out what resonates.But eventually, the sampling starts to feel…really frustrating. Nothing quite *clicks*. And that's when we fall into the ‘good enough' trap. We start to rationalize. ‘Maybe this job isn't perfect, but it pays the bills.' ‘Maybe this practice isn't life-changing, but it's *good for me*. This is our minds trying to resolve *cognitive dissonance* – the discomfort of holding conflicting beliefs. It's easier to stay in a familiar discomfort than to risk the unknown.But here's the secret: frustration isn't a dead end; it's *fuel*. It's a signal that something needs to change. Like fire, it burns away everything that isn't essential – the expectations, the ‘shoulds', the things you're doing out of obligation rather than passion. It strips away the idea that you need to *find* your purpose and reveals that you get to *create* it. This is where the real journey begins.The Seeker's path is about *co-creating* your own pathIt's not about finding *the* answer, but about becoming the answer. The 'knowing' emerges—not as a grand revelation, but as a deep inner clarity. It's a sense of what truly matters to you. If you're feeling drawn to explore and advance your soul versus all teh drama in the world right now…. I highly suggest the Intuitive One-of-a-Kind Blueprint to support a high view of the Genius but t free woven into you. Deep insights into your soul's purpose - the Stars Aligned for YOU. The Seeker's path isn't a straight line—it's a labyrinth of discovery.A continuous unfolding, where you create the path and the path creates you. Embrace the uncertainty, listen to your soul, and trust the process. Your unique path is waiting for you. And remember…you are never alone. You're not meant to blend in. You're one of a Kind, so let's tap into your signature blueprint. This way, you can transform confusion into clarity and burnout into aligned calling with your Astrology and Human Design - Simplified. Get Clear and carry on with your custom

It's back to school and back to routines and for me that means a new season of podcasting and starting this one off with how to maximize our time while our kids are in school.   Insane to say but I now have a high schooler and in my many years of having school age children I've learned so much about how to use this time to have time for yourself, get the things done that you need to, catch up with people that you love, fitness & nutrition, take care of appointments and errands… without wasting any time.    My goal of this podcast is to give you a really helpful framework for laying out how you will spend those precious hours while your kids are in school.   If we don't plan, the time can see like it goes by soooo fast.     But if we do have a plan and we don't have wasted or distracted time in between things, we can get so much done and by the time it's school pickup, you feel accomplished and organized and energized and ready to give them the best of you, not the distracted half paying attention version of you.    Our days all look different but as mothers that all love our kids and want as much quality time with them as possible, spending the time you aren't with them strategically, will bring so much joy to your life.         Get Clear on Your Top Priorities Start with “radical clarity” on what truly matters to you. Take time to define what fulfillment, success, and joy mean in your life. Identify your biggest goals and why they're important – this clarity becomes your compass for how to spend your days. List the things you never seem to have time for… both big and small. Maybe it's projects like organizing the closets or family photos, pursuing a passion or side-business, getting back into shape, or finally starting that project. Connect each task to a purpose. For each priority or goal, be clear on why it matters. For example, you might not love the act of meal-prepping lunches, but you do love the outcome of healthier meals and smoother evenings. When you know why a task is important (to your health, career, family, etc.), it's easier to commit time to it. You're designing your life around what matters most to you, not just reacting to whatever comes up. Plan Your Day, Don't Wing It Design each school-day with intention. Map out your day before it starts... even down to hourly blocks if possible. We're just not good enough to wing it consistently and expect great results.  As productivity expert Stephen Covey famously said, “The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” In other words, slot your highest-value activities into your calendar.  If working out, writing a chapter of your book, or having an uninterrupted block for work projects is a priority, schedule it into the hours your kids are at school. Identify your MITs (Most Important Tasks) each morning. A great habit is to choose the top 2–3 tasks that will make your day feel successful if nothing else gets done. Write these down and tackle them early in the day. Batch and align tasks to the right times. Group similar tasks together and do them at the optimal times of day. For example, if you have high-energy or creative time in the morning, use that for deep work or exercise. Save low-energy tasks (like tidying up or answering non-urgent emails) for the later afternoon slump Be realistic and time-conscious. Don't overload your day with a massive to-do list that ignores the realities of time… that just leads to frustration. Remember, we all have the same 24 hours; it's how we use them that counts.  Make the Most of School Hours: High-Value Activities to Consider When your kids are at school, think of it as your prime time to tackle the things that are hardest to do when they're around. Plan these hours as if they're gold… because they are! Here are some categories and examples of productive, fulfilling things you can do while the kids are in class: Invest in your health and energy: Get your workout in... go for a run, hit the gym, take a yoga or Pilates class, or do a workout video at home. Prioritize meal prep and nutrition: plan healthy dinners for the week, prep ingredients, or cook in batches.  Maybe even schedule that dentist appointment or physical therapy session you've been putting off. Taking care of your physical well-being will boost your energy and mood for the rest of the day. Do deep work or professional tasks: Use the quiet time to focus on work projects or passion projects without interruptions. This could mean building your business (developing a product, marketing, content creation), working on tasks for your job that require concentration, or even starting a side hustle from home.  It might be the perfect window to record a podcast episode or write that book or blog you've dreamed about while the house is silent. If you're pursuing a career goal like earning a certification or applying for jobs, dedicate a block of time to that. Treat these school hours as your “deep focus” sessions to really move the needle on work that matters to you. Learn and grow: Take an online course or use the time to read personal development or business books, listen to inspiring podcasts, or practice a hobby (paint, play an instrument, write in a journal). These hours are a gift for personal growth… seize them to feed your mind and passion. Knock out home and life admin tasks: Get your household organized so that evenings can be more relaxed. For example, do the laundry and cleaning in the morning so you're free to play with the kids later. Declutter a room or tackle that messy closet.  Run errands strategically: if grocery shopping with your children feels like a nightmare, do it solo while they're at school (or order groceries online for delivery). Take the car for service, go to the bank, or handle appointments (haircuts, doctor visits) during this window. By handling errands and chores now, you won't have them weighing on you during family time. Nurture your relationships and social life:  It's healthy and energizing to connect with other adults when you have some free time. Plan a coffee date or lunch with a friend or your spouse once in a while during school hours. Join a local moms' group meetup, or simply call a family member to catch up. Human connection and laughter can recharge you. Also, if you and your partner can swing it, the occasional daytime date while kids are in school... even just a walk or lunch together… can be a fun way to reconnect without needing a sitter. Take care of YOU (self-care time):  Yes, productivity includes self-care, because if you burn out, nothing else works well. So don't feel guilty about using some school time for yourself. In fact, schedule it in. Maybe that means enjoying quiet “me time” to recharge: take a relaxing bath, sit in a park with a coffee, or simply revel in the silence at home to meditate or pray. It could be booking a massage, facial, or therapy session guilt-free, since you're not missing family time to do it.   Eliminate Distractions and Time-Wasters Guard those school hours from distractions. It's easy to lose precious minutes (which turn into hours) by checking texts, scrolling social media, or getting pulled into emails constantly throughout the day.  Identify your personal time-wasters… and nix them.  Take an honest look at where your time tends to “leak” away. Is it the rabbit hole of social media? Random online shopping? Unplanned chats with a neighbor or lengthy coffee breaks? We often don't realize how these add up.  Use productivity tricks to stay focused. Many parents find techniques like time blocking helpful. Time blocking means scheduling a fixed block (say 9–10:30am) for a specific task or category of tasks…  and during that block, you only do that.  Accept that things won't always go as planned.  We can craft the perfect schedule on paper…  and then life happens. Kids get sick, the school calls, the car battery dies, you hit an unexpected wall of fatigue, etc.  Productivity experts who are parents stress that you must expect interruptions as a normal part of life rather than an exception. Don't overload yourself or chase perfection.  It's tempting to use every kid-free minute to “get everything under the sun done” – and set unrealistically high expectations.  It's far better to do a few important things well (and include some self-care) than to do 20 things and be too exhausted to enjoy the evening with your kids. So be realistic and kind to yourself when planning your week. Use habits and routines to stay consistent (but adapt when needed). Establishing regular routines can automate your productivity. For instance, if you always exercise right after school drop-off, soon it becomes second nature and requires less willpower.  Maybe 10–11am is always devoted to your top work project, or perhaps you do a 15-minute mindfulness meditation at the same time daily. Routines build momentum and reduce decision fatigue.  Celebrate what you did get done.  At the end of the day, acknowledge and appreciate the things you accomplished... both the personal (“kept the house running, paid the bills”) and professional. Too often we focus on what we didn't do.  Change that habit! Even if your day went off the rails, maybe you managed to comfort a sick child or have an important conversation.. those count too.  By recognizing the value in all you do (paid and unpaid), you maintain a positive mindset.  Productivity isn't just about checking boxes; it's also about feeling fulfilled. If you ended the day with your kids safe, fed, and loved, and you moved the needle on one personal goal (no matter how small) – that's a win.  Plan Your Days, Love Your Afternoons Maximizing your kid-free hours is ultimately about being intentional… with your time, your habits, and your choices.  By planning ahead and aligning your daily actions to your biggest priorities, you create a life where your important work and your family time can both flourish.  Instead of feeling like the school day “just flies by” in a blur of busy-ness, you'll see tangible progress on your goals and still have energy in the tank when it's time for pickup. That's the true reward here: you get to fully enjoy the afternoons and evenings with your children, being present instead of preoccupied. So remember, a great plan is really about freedom, the freedom to spend your time on the things that light you up and the freedom to be the parent (and person) you want to be.  With a little structure and a lot of consistency, you can turn your school-hour routine into a powerhouse of productivity and fulfillment. Plan your days around what matters most, execute those plans with focus (and a dash of flexibility), and watch how much awesome stuff you get done before the school day is even over.

Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=16293&preview=true)  Most job searches lack direction because people can't answer a fundamental question: What specific work would actually energize you? According to Find Your Dream Job guest Theresa White, career clarity means more than understanding your skills and values — it requires knowing which specific roles genuinely excite you and feel realistic to pursue. Without this clarity, job seekers resort to applying broadly for any available position, leaving their professional networks unable to offer targeted assistance. Theresa identifies three barriers that keep people stuck: analysis paralysis from endless worksheets that never translate into action, the sunk cost fallacy that traps them in unfulfilling careers due to the time and money already invested, and simply not knowing how to move from abstract career advice to concrete next steps. Her Career Clarity Formula centers on distinguishing between skills you're good at and skills that energize you, then using informational interviews to test whether specific roles truly align with what makes you come alive.
