I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'Hi, it's Katie Bell here, welcoming you to another episode of the Treat Your Business podcast. A special hello to all our new listeners I met at Therapy Expo last week. It was so lovely meeting you, and I'm thrilled you're here.If you're listening while juggling a million things, in the car, or sneaking a rare quiet moment, I'm so grateful you've chosen to spend these next 20 minutes with me.This episode is kicking off a mini-series focused on strategic planning for 2025.

Create room for creativity and strategy.Write Your Toleration List: Reflect on what you've been tolerating in 2024. What's on your “no more” list for next year?Plan Beyond Goals: Build a strategy aligned with your life and values—not just revenue and profit targets.Face Your Fears: Growth means stepping out of your comfort zone, despite the doubts your ego might throw at you.Exciting News for 2025I'm thrilled to announce my upcoming book, Thriving: The Simple and Honest Guide to Growing Your Clinic. Launching January 14, 2025, it's a no-nonsense guide packed with real talk, actionable advice, and my clinic success framework.

Send us a textHi, I'm Katie Bell, and welcome to this off-the-cuff episode of Treat Your Business. Today, we're diving deep into a concept that could transform how you run your clinic or business: essentialism and the art of strategic sacrifice. As you gear up for the end-of-year madness, I'm giving you permission to pause, refocus, and invest your time where it matters most. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, spinning plates at a hundred miles an hour, or like you're the lowest paid in your own company, this one is for you!Episode Summary:In today's episode, we explore the concept of essentialism: the disciplined pursuit of less but better. Inspired by insights from the Expert Empires Conference and conversations with fellow clinic owners, I'm here to share why strategy is the art of sacrifice and how being strategic can lead to more fulfilment, better financial outcomes, and a thriving business.We'll discuss how clinic owners often struggle with having a master plan, leading to feelings of spinning plates endlessly. I'll guide you through practical methods to focus on essential activities that drive results, like filtering out distractions, saying no with confidence, and making wise investments of your time and energy.We'll cover real trade-offs, like choosing between taking on one more client versus prioritising your personal well-being, and explore why being reactive is costing you progress. Essentialism is about structured, disciplined approaches, and I'll share actionable tips, including how to manage your inbox, stop multitasking, and schedule your day like a strategic powerhouse. Plus, I've got a special resource for you on how the recent Autumn Budget impacts your clinic.Key Takeaways:Essentialism Over Multitasking: Focus on fewer, high-impact activities to achieve significant results.Strategic Sacrifice: Saying yes to what truly matters means saying no to distractions.Discipline and Structure: Success comes from having a structured plan and sticking to it, not from doing everything at once.Efficient Time Management: Create a schedule that serves your goals, not other people's demands.Thank you so much for joining me today!

If you're struggling with pricing your services, or find yourself holding back from making changes in your business, this episode is for you.In this episode, we explore how your money mindset is like a thermostat, controlling the "temperature" of your financial success. Just like adjusting a thermostat can change the climate in your home, shifting your mindset from scarcity to abundance can drastically impact your business growth. We'll cover the experiences and beliefs that shaped your money mindset, and how those early lessons might be holding you back today.I'll share my personal story of growing up in a self-employed household and how the lessons I learned about money shaped my approach to running a clinic. From undervaluing our expertise to fearing price increases, the way we think about money is often the hidden barrier to achieving the financial success we deserve.Key Takeaways:Your Money Mindset: Understand how your beliefs around money, often formed in childhood, directly influence your pricing, profits, and overall business success.Shifting from Scarcity to Abundance: Learn how adopting an abundance mentality can attract higher-paying clients and create more opportunities.Recognising Value: Stop pricing your services based on time and start focusing on the value and outcomes you provide to your clients.Overcoming Fear: Don't let the fear of rejection or comparison to competitors hold you back from charging what you're worth.Invest in Yourself: You cannot expect your clients to invest in you if you're not willing to invest in yourself—whether through personal growth or professional development.Tune in to this episode as we help you shift your mindset, and lay the groundwork for financial success in your clinic. No more undercharging, no more undervaluing your skills—it's time to thrive! Resources: BUY YOUR TICKET TO CLINIC GROWTH LIVE https://events.thrive-businesscoaching.com/clinicgrowthlive Join this months FREE masterclass https://join.thrive-businesscoaching.com/masterclass-registration Score App: https://bizhealthcheck.scoreapp.com/ Book a Discovery Call to find out how our programs can help you grow your business https://call.thrive-businesscoaching.com/discovery-call If you've found value in this podcast, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could take a moment to leave a review.

Send us a Text Message.Hello and welcome to another exciting episode of the Treat Your Business podcast! I'm Katie Bell, your host, and I'm thrilled to bring you something truly special this week. We've got an incredible treat in store as I'm joined by my fabulous coaches, Nichola and Philippa, for another round of Coach's Corner. We're diving deep into the two missing ingredients that we see holding back clinic owners from achieving the success they desire.Episode SummaryIn this episode, we explore why so many clinic owners feel stuck, burnt out, and frustrated despite working tirelessly on their businesses. Nicola, Philippa, and I discuss the two crucial elements that often go unnoticed but are essential for creating a thriving clinic: mindset and having a clear master plan. We use the analogy of a cherry blossom tree to illustrate how many business owners focus on fixing the branches—like marketing or hiring—without addressing the roots (mindset) and the trunk (strategy) that support the entire business. We also share insights on why working on your mindset and having a strong, clear strategy are non-negotiable for long-term success.Key TakeawaysMindset Matters: Your business is a direct reflection of your beliefs, values, and mindset. Without a solid foundation, no amount of strategy or tactics will yield lasting success.Master Plan: Knowing your destination and having a clear plan to get there is crucial. Without this, your business efforts will feel scattered and ineffective.Strategy Before Tactics: Before diving into marketing or team-building, it's essential to establish a strong strategy that aligns with your goals and values.Continuous Growth: Mindset work and strategic planning are ongoing processes. As your business grows, so too should your mindset and your master plan.Community and Support: Surrounding yourself with like-minded, successful people is key. Events like our upcoming Clinic Growth Live are designed to provide the community, knowledge, and inspiration you need to take your clinic to the next level.Join us for this insightful episode and learn how to shift from being overwhelmed and exhausted to confident and successful in your clinic business.Resources: BUY YOUR TICKET TO CLINIC GROWTH LIVE https://events.thrive-businesscoaching.com/clinicgrowthlive Join this months FREE masterclass https://join.thrive-businesscoaching.com/masterclass-registration Score App: https://bizhealthcheck.scoreapp.com/ Book a Discovery Call to find out how our programs can help you grow your business https://call.thrive-businesscoaching.com/discovery-call If you've found value in this podcast, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could take a moment to leave a review.

Send us a Text Message.Hi everyone, it's Katie Bell here. I'm thrilled to welcome you to another episode of the Treat Your Business podcast. This week, I have the pleasure of welcoming back Michael Schumacher, whose episodes are always among the most popular. We've had countless conversations, rants, and laughs about the industry, and today we're bringing that energy to you. Let's dive in!Episode SummaryIn this episode, Michael and I discuss the reality of running a clinic and why it's such hard work. We tackle the myth of the “magic pill” that promises quick success and share our frustrations about misleading industry advice. We also provide actionable insights on how to manage your clinic effectively without falling for unrealistic promises. Be warned, we don't hold back and there may be some swearing, so if you're listening with kids around, you might want to save this for later.Key TakeawaysThe Reality of Hard Work: Running a business is incredibly challenging. There are no quick fixes or magic pills. Success comes from consistent, hard work and dedication.Misleading Industry Advice: Beware of gurus promising easy money or quick success. These often lead to wasted money and frustration.Importance of Consistency: Consistency in your business practices, marketing, and client engagement is crucial for long-term success.Valuing Your Time: As a clinic owner, it's essential to recognise your value and delegate tasks that don't require your direct involvement. This allows you to focus on what you do best.Pricing Strategy: Don't be afraid to adjust your pricing to reflect the quality and value of your services. Often, higher prices can lead to better business outcomes.Leveraging Team Strengths: Building a strong team and knowing each member's strengths can help streamline operations and improve client satisfaction.Continuous Improvement: Even successful businesses need to innovate and adapt to stay ahead. Regularly review and improve your processes and services.Connect with MichaelYou can find more about Michael Schumacher and his work at HMDG.

Chapter 12 - Silver and OpalsWhere was Dumbledore and what was he doing?Q1 - Where was Dumbledore and what was he doing?Q2 - Is the Half-Blood Prince a dark person?Harry rather doubted he would be able to bring off this particular spell; he was still having difficulty with non-verbal spells, something Snape had been quick to comment on in every DADA class. On the other hand, the Prince had proved a much more effective teacher than Snape so far.Q3 - Do you think Snape really is a good teacher and Harry is just blinded?Q4 - Is Harry dumb to be practicing these spells on his friends?Q5 - Harry thinks that the Prince could be his dad, do you think he's right?Harry had pinned Mundungus against the wall of the pub by the throat. Holding him fast with one hand, he pulled out his wand. ‘Harry!' squealed Hermione. ‘You took that from Sirius's house,' said Harry, who was almost nose-to-nose with Mundungus and was breathing in an unpleasant smell of old tobacco and spirits. ‘That had the Black family crest on it.'Q6 - What is Mundungus stealing from the Black house?At once, Katie rose into the air, not as Ron had done, suspended comically by the ankle, but gracefully, her arms outstretched, as though she were about to fly. Yet there was something wrong, something eerie … her hair was whipped around her by the fierce wind, but her eyes were closed and her face was quite empty of expression. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Leanne had all halted in their tracks, watching. Then, six feet above the ground, Katie let out a terrible scream. Her eyes flew open but whatever she could see, or whatever she was feeling, was clearly causing her terrible anguish. She screamed and screamed; Leanne started to scream too, and seized Katie's ankles, trying to tug her back to the ground. Harry, Ron and Hermione rushed forwards to help, but even as they grabbed Katie's legs, she fell on top of them; Harry and Ron managed to catch her but she was writhing so much they could hardly hold her. Instead they lowered her to the ground where she thrashed and screamed, apparently unable to recognise any of them.Q7 - What kind of magic is this?Q8 - What's the worst amount of pain you've ever been in?Q9 - Why would someone want to curse an object? What else do you think you could do with objects in the wizarding world?Q10 - Who gave Katie the necklace and where was Katie delivering it?Chapter 13 - The Secret Riddle‘Ah,' said Dumbledore, ‘perhaps she could. But it is my belief – I am guessing again, but I am sure I am right – that when her husband abandoned her, Merope stopped using magic. I do not think that she wanted to be a witch any longer. Of course, it is also possible that her unrequited love and the attendant despair sapped her of her powers; that can happen. In any case, as you are about to see, Merope refused to raise her wand even to save her own life.'‘She wouldn't even stay alive for her son?' Dumbledore raised his eyebrows. ‘Could you possibly be feeling sorry for Lord Voldemort?' ‘No,' said Harry quickly, ‘but she had a choice, didn't she, not like my mother –' ‘Your mother had a choice, too,' said Dumbledore gently. ‘Yes, Merope Riddle chose death in spite of a son who needed her, but do not judge her too harshly, Harry. She was greatly weakened by long suffering and she never had your mother's courage. And now, if you will stand …'Q1 - What does Dumbledore mean that Lily had a choice?Q2 - It mentions that Dumbledore's hair was Auburn…is he a Weasley?And then –' Mrs Cole took another swig of gin, slopping a little over her chin this time, ‘on the summer outing – we take them out, you know, once a year, to the countryside or to the seaside – well, Amy Benson and Dennis Bishop were never quite right afterwards, and all we ever got out of them was that they'd gone into a cave with Tom Riddle. He swore they'd just gone exploring, but something happened in there, I'm sure of it. And, well, there have been a lot of things, funny things …'Q3 - Should Dumbledore have denied entrance for Tom knowing these things?‘I don't believe you,' said Riddle. ‘She wants me looked at, doesn't she? Tell the truth!' He spoke the last three words with a ringing force that was almost shocking. It was a command, and it sounded as though he had given it many times before. His eyes had widened and he was glaring at Dumbledore, who made no response except to continue smiling pleasantly. After a few seconds Riddle stopped glaring, though he looked, if anything, warier still.‘I can make things move without touching them. I can make animals do what I want them to do, without training them. I can make bad things happen to people who annoy me. I can make them hurt if I want to.'Q4 - Is it alarming that he is this advanced in magic already?‘I knew I was different,' he whispered to his own quivering fingers. ‘I knew I was special. Always, I knew there was something.'Q5 - What do you think of Tom and Dumbledore's interaction?‘He believed it much quicker than I did – I mean, when you told him he was a wizard,' said Harry. ‘I didn't believe Hagrid at first, when he told me.'Q6 - What's the difference in Harry and Tom?‘Did you know – then?' asked Harry. ‘Did I know that I had just met the most dangerous Dark wizard of all time?' said Dumbledore. ‘No, I had no idea that he was to grow up to be what he is. However, I was certainly intrigued by him. I returned to Hogwarts intending to keep an eye upon him, something I should have done in any case, given that he was alone and friendless, but which, already, I felt I ought to do for others' sake as much as his.‘Firstly, I hope you noticed Riddle's reaction when I mentioned that another shared his first name, “Tom”?' Harry nodded. ‘There he showed his contempt for anything that tied him to other people, anything that made him ordinary. Even then, he wished to be different, separate, notorious. He shed his name, as you know, within a few short years of that conversation and created the mask of “Lord Voldemort” behind which he has been hidden for so long.‘I trust that you also noticed that Tom Riddle was already highly self-sufficient, secretive and, apparently, friendless? He did not want help or companionship on his trip to Diagon Alley. He preferred to operate alone. The adult Voldemort is the same. You will hear many of his Death Eaters claiming that they are in his confidence, that they alone are close to him, even understand him. They are deluded. Lord Voldemort has never had a friend, nor do I believe that he has ever wanted one‘And lastly – I hope you are not too sleepy to pay attention to this, Harry – the young Tom Riddle liked to collect trophies. You saw the box of stolen articles he had hidden in his room. These were taken from victims of his bullying behavior, souvenirs, if you will, of particularly unpleasant bits of magic. Bear in mind this magpie-like tendency, for this, particularly, will be important later.Q7 - Why is this important?Q8 - What happened to the ring?
