In this week's Podiatry Legends Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with James Ferrie, a sports and musculoskeletal podiatrist from My Sports Podiatry in Docklands, Victoria, to discuss point-of-care ultrasound and its benefits for our patients.  Whether you're just starting out in practice or looking to enhance your existing clinic, this episode will give you the tools and knowledge to incorporate ultrasound into your diagnostic toolkit. Nine Key Takeaways from the Episode: Point-of-care ultrasound enhances diagnostic accuracy by providing real-time imaging of soft tissues and bones. Ultrasound helps podiatrists make clinical decisions immediately during patient appointments. It's a powerful tool for ruling out common diagnoses, such as plantar fasciitis, and identifying rare conditions like stress fractures or DVT. Ultrasound improves patient outcomes by helping podiatrists tailor treatments to individual needs. The learning curve for ultrasound can be steep, but with practice and proper training, it becomes an invaluable skill. Podiatrists can use ultrasound for more than just musculoskeletal injuries, including nerve assessment and injection guidance. The handheld ultrasound devices are a good starting point, but may not be sufficient for complex procedures or advanced diagnostics. The ability to visualise structures during patient care makes ultrasound an extension of the clinical exam. Proper training and practice are essential for interpreting ultrasound images accurately and avoiding common errors. If you want to know where and when James Ferrie's workshops are being held, I suggest contacting him on LinkedIn.  My Upcoming Events - https://www.podiatrylegends.com/upcoming-events/ If you have any questions about this episode or want to contact me, please email me at tyson@podiatrylegends.com.

This episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast discusses the often-overlooked benefits of buying an established podiatry business. Tyson Franklin and Jonathan Small explore why acquiring a practice could be a game-changing move for aspiring podiatrists. If you're interested in growing your career without the typical start-up headaches, this episode offers practical advice on how to make a successful transition into practice ownership. Ten Key Takeaways from the Episode Buying an established practice gives you immediate cash flow. Systems for patient management, billing, and operations are already in place. You inherit an existing patient base, saving time and effort on marketing. With a profitable business, you have a better chance of securing a loan. Buying an existing practice reduces the risk of starting a business from scratch. Established businesses have learned from past mistakes, which helps mitigate risk. You gain the opportunity to enhance and improve systems that are already working. Business owners often lack business training, and buying a practice gives you more support. Acquiring a practice helps avoid the common challenges of building from the ground up. You can focus on growth and profitability rather than foundational challenges.

They discuss relevant comparisons, including Apple vs. Microsoft and lessons from the Vietnam War, to illustrate how an infinite mindset fosters sustained progress and collaboration.

Jo Schapter's journey into the world of podiatry wasn't a straightforward one. She didn't begin with a clear path; instead, her story unfolded in ways she never anticipated. From her beginnings in sports science to an unexpected detour into beauty and foot care, Jo's story is a testament to the power of following one's curiosity and passion.  Jo's story is a reminder that we don't always have to have everything figured out. Sometimes, the best journeys begin when we are willing to explore unfamiliar territories. For Jo, this exploration led to podiatry — a profession she discovered by accident, but one she embraced with an unwavering commitment to learn and grow.

They discuss the importance of conducting personal research in areas of podiatry that interest you, no matter what it is, and they encourage practitioners to share their findings to benefit the profession.

Jonathan Small joins Tyson E Franklin on the Podiatry Legends Podcast to discuss a pervasive myth in the professional world: the idea that a business's location is the critical determinant of its success and fee structure. Jonathan debunks this, suggesting that the true driver of success is the business owner's mindset. He shares insights from his extensive experience, including the notion that prioritising personal happiness and aligning one's practice with personal values are more important than the business's geographical location. The discussion covers various examples, from restaurants in remote locations charging premium prices to successful businesses thriving despite being in supposedly unfavourable areas. Jonathan emphasises the importance of marketing, value proposition, and the ability to adapt and evolve a business according to changing times and personal growth. Tyson and Jonathan also share personal stories of overcoming discrimination, prejudice, and financial challenges, underscoring the importance of resilience, self-belief, and the impact of one's surroundings on personal and professional development. They highlight the necessity of surrounding oneself with positive influences and continuously striving for self-improvement and professional excellence. The episode serves as a reminder that limitations are often self-imposed. With the right mindset and strategic approach, podiatrists can create thriving businesses that reflect their values and goals, regardless of location.

This milestone 300th episode of Podiatry Legends features host Tyson Franklin and guest Hayley Paterson of Foundation Podiatry in Townsville, Queensland. Hayley traces her inspirational 19-year journey from a new graduate to a successful business and clinic owner.  We learn how she initially worked with Tyson in Cairns because she wanted to work in Regional Queensland; then, after two years and with his guidance, Hayley set up her own podiatry business and, after several years, eventually found her niche in biomechanics.  Hayley shares the ups and downs of business ownership, building her team, mentoring new podiatrists, and staying resilient when things do not always go to plan. Haley proves that you can create a successful business on your own terms with passion and perseverance. Even with all her business success, Hayley still considers herself a born practitioner and less of a business owner, so she can struggle to wear both hats. Tyson and Haley's camaraderie reminds us that mentors often learn as much from their mentees.

Mark Caldwell is the owner of Feetology Podiatry Centre in Victoria Point, Brisbane, and over the past twenty-plus years, he has honed his skills as a podiatrist, business owner and mentor. Mark's first job had no mentoring, which is why he places so much emphasis on this aspect of his business and encourages other business owners to do the same. If we want younger podiatrists to stay in the profession, we all must try to mentor them properly.   In this episode, we discuss: How your interest in podiatry changes as you gain experience and see more varied patients. The importance of choosing the right employer, especially when you first graduate.  Why he wanted to work for himself and control his destiny.  Purchasing an existing podiatry business and building it from a two-day-a-week practice to employing multiple podiatrists. Focusing his time and energy on building Feetology and not taking a second job to supplement his income in the early days.   How Mark and his wife Ariella decided on the name Feetology.  Growing as an employer takes time.  His Unofficial Pracsuite Users Group on Facebook (currently 160 members).

Scott Ginsberg holds the world record for wearing a name tag longer than anyone else, and he was so committed to the record he got his name tag tattooed to his chest...that's commitment. In his spare time, he has also written 50 books and 11 music albums.  I was fortunate to meet Scott in 2009 in Cairns when he was touring Australia. When we met, he gave me his business card, which read, "Hello, my name is Scott's Friend", and on the back, it has ten philosophies he lives by. It was so unique I still have it in my possession today, and I read it often.  To see the FULL SHOW NOTES, please visit the Podiatry Legends Podcast website - https://www.podiatrylegends.com/blog/ AND If you have any questions about this episode, please email me at tyson@podiatrylegends.com    PODIATRY BUSINESS COACH  Hi, I'm Tyson Franklin, and if you're looking for a one-on-one podiatry business coach with a proven track record of helping podiatrists excel in business, look no further.

Most bad patients will give you early warning signs, and your goal, as you become more experienced, is to identify them as soon as possible, so you can take action sooner rather than later and eliminate them from your business. In this episode, I want to share my top six ways to identify bad patients, and what I'm about to explain is far from a complete list. Still, it's an excellent place to start, and having friends in other professions and industries, it's nice to know they share similar problems with their patients, clients and customers.  Detailed notes are available from the Podiatry Legends Podcast website.  1) THEY WILL OFTEN COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR FEES 2) THEY HAVE A RUDE AND ABRUPT PERSONALITY 3) THEY'RE ALWAYS ASKING FOR A DISCOUNT 4) THEY'LL ASK FOR AN ACCOUNT 5) WHEN YOU GIVE THEM AN ACCOUNT, YOU HAVE TO CHASE THEM FOR PAYMENT 6) THEY WILL COMPLAIN AND RAISE THEIR VOICE AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME If you have any questions about this episode, you can email me at tyson@podiatrylegends.com, or if you'd like to learn more about One-On-One Business Coaching, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com; otherwise, you can go directly to my online calendar schedule a face-to-face Zoom meeting with me.

Surgery would be one of those times, sterilising instruments would be another, and also performing a biomechanical assessment and prescribing orthotics would be times when perfection, or close to perfection, is pretty important…however, there are other times when perfection is totally unnecessary, and good enough is good enough to get started.  Episode Sponsor - Podiatry Clinic Websites Launch Now and Fine Tune Later Over the past few years, I've seen some average podiatry websites; but an average LIVE website is much better than having no website. If you're waiting for your website to be perfect before making it LIVE, please stop waiting for it to be perfect and get something out there now. Every day you wait, you're losing potential patients to your competitors who have a live website, and there is a big chance their website may be worse than the one you're holding back. And, if you're rebuilding your existing website, don't wait until every page is perfect before relaunching; get the new information onto your site as soon as you can and get it out there so your patients can see it. Podiatry Legends New Website I must point out that I am talking from experience here. I have had at least four major podiatry website designs over my career, and more recently, I have just launched a stand-alone website for the Podiatry Legends Podcast, so this is all very fresh in my mind. Please, take a look and see what you think. Just visit www.podiatrylegends.com It's far from perfect, and it still needs a few tweaks, but it is LIVE, and that is what counts most. Right now…good enough is good enough. You have to keep in mind the 80:20 RULE. If the 80:20 holds true, only 20% of your website pages will be viewed by 80% of the people that visit your website, so if you're waiting for every page to be ready before you launch, you're wasting time because 80% of your pages are not going to be viewed by many people at all. It's sad but true. And even as I say this, it makes me think back to some of the delays I caused on the podiatrylegedns.com website. To make me feel better, you can visit my website and look at every page, but let's be honest, just like your patients, you'll stick to the main pages of interest. Other Marketing  It is important to approach all your marketing with the same attitude: good enough is sometimes good enough. The patient information brochure you're working on, the reactivation letter you discussed at last week's team meeting that still needs some work, and the video you shot last month for YouTube, but you're holding back because you're unsure about the lighting or the sound. In general, most of your marketing activities, as do my own, could probably be tweaked and made better, but 80% and out the door is better than 100% and in the draw.  A brilliant email blast, clinic newsletter or Facebook ad will get zero results until it is released. The solution is to release it. I remember when I wrote my first book, It's No Secret There's Money in Podiatry. I was part of a writer's group, and we had a writing mentor. There were four of us in the group, and at a particular point, our mentor said…good enough is good enough; you've got to stop editing and send it to the publisher; otherwise, it will never get done. There were two things I learnt from this after sending it to the publisher. I got a mental break. So much work went into writing and editing it felt good to stop and just let it go, and this mental break allowed me time to work on another project. When I got it back from the publisher, I had plenty of time to do further edits, but I got the process started by sending it off.   My initial transcript went back and forth two or three times until all editing was complete, and it was then sent off to the printers. That was a stressful day, and I remember thinking there was no turning back now. Even to this day, nine years after publishing and with thousands of copies sold, there are a few things I would have liked to have changed. There are even a few errors in the book, but if I didn't follow the good enough is good enough principle, my book would still be in my head and partially written on my computer. Here's something else I'd like to highlight. In my writers' group, only two of us out of the four stopped editing and sent it to the publisher as instructed. Both of us since then have also written and published a second book. The other two in the group, who didn't stop editing and didn't send it to the publisher, never had their books published. I think we can all learn from this. Having a good enough is good enough approach is the first step in getting projects completed, especially marketing projects.   Once completed, you'll have time afterwards to make slight changes if needed, and with each change, you can test and measure the success of each change. Testing and measuring are important and relate to understanding the numbers of your business. I did an episode on this, Episode 135 - The Importance of Understanding Your Numbers.  Your Team To wrap up, I have one more item to discuss in relation to good enough being good enough.   So far, I've only discussed how it applies to marketing aspects of your business; however, this good enough is good enough approach can also be applied to your team. We all like to think we're good at what we do, and if you've been practising for many years, it's probably true; however, what happens when you employ someone else and they start treating your patients?  Firstly, this can be a stressful moment in your career, and secondly, it will drive you crazy if your push for perfection on a day-to-day basis, and I know this for a fact because I have done this in the past. As I said in my opening comments, surgery is one of those times when perfection is required or as close to perfection as possible, as is sterilisation; however, your business will fail to grow at the rate it should if you focus on perfection with your team.   Yes, your team's communication skills may need improvement, and their KPIs may not be as good as yours in certain areas, but then again, they may be better than yours in others. Would you chew yourself a new one if your team, out did you? No, you wouldn't, so give your team the same allowances. Taking on a good enough is good enough approach in some aspects of your business will give you a mental rest, and this is a positive. Last week in Episode 265, I mentioned you get what you tolerate, meaning if you allow poor behaviour or attitudes to continue, you only have yourself to blame. I think it is important to point out that having a good enough is good enough approach to your business is not about tolerating poor behaviour; it's about setting suitable and sustainable standards in your business and allowing a little wiggle room for growth and imperfection. With a good enough is good enough approach, you will have more time with your family and be a better partner or parent, more time to pursue your hobbies, therefore less stress and more fun in your life, and you'll have more time to become a better mentor to your team, and when you become a better mentor to your team, your team will improve as a consequence. The overall standards of your business will increase.

  It has been scientifically proven that we tend to overvalue our losses and undervalue our wins, which can affect our future decision-making. The good news is that people usually only remember your wins, not your losses, and Richard Branson is a perfect example.    My guest, Dr Jesse Green, is no stranger to the Podiatry Legends Podcast. He has been a guest on episodes 144 and 200, and I've asked him to come back to talk about why people focus so much on their losses and not enough on their wins.  Dr Jesse Green runs Practice Max, one of Australia's largest Dental Coaching Organisations and hosts the Savvy Dentist Podcast. This episode is a dual episode that Jesse and I decided to use on both shows.  In this episode, we discuss the following: A new word - PISSOFFEDNESS.  Why do we over-value our losses in life yet undervalue our day-to-day wins?  The reason people keep on hanging on to losses is that they don't want to admit that they've made a mistake. And it will hold them back from making the next decision! A good decision can still lead to a poor outcome. So what can you do in this situation? Expect that some of your decisions will be wrong the further you try to predict the outcome. What will happen in a week is much easier than what will happen in twelve months.  CAPACITY PLANNING - Using numbers to make your decisions based on past decisions and future predictions. You're working on the balance of probability.  So if you've had a few things go wrong and are a little bit 'gun-shy', what can you do to get back to making decisions and moving towards more wins? Remember, every big business you know of today … once started as a 'small' business. And every big business still makes mistakes as the company grows larger. When things go wrong, instead of just saying I knew that was going to happen and not learning from it, document what you learned in a BRAIN BOOK or journal and then use this information in the future.  The people who do well in their business practice over-value their wins and under-value their losses as a general habit. MATHEMATICAL FORMULA FOR SERENDIPITY - More Swings = More Hits.  The longer you take to start something, the less chance you have of actually doing it.  You can connect with Dr Jesse Green via his website https://savvydentist.com/, and if you have any questions about this episode, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com.  Business Coaching  Are you looking for a Podiatry Business Coach who thinks differently and has a proven track record of helping podiatrists excel in business?

Deb Johnstone from Transformational Pathways Australia will explain WHY you need to be showing up for yourself daily and HOW it creates new business opportunities that would have otherwise be missed or overlooked.   Deb has been on the Podiatry Legends Podcast before, Episode 89: My Mindset Coach.  In this episode, we discuss: The importance of making a commitment to ourselves.  Understanding where certain behaviours lead you.  The difference between showing up and showing up fully.  The importance of being aware when you're not showing up.   Language creates your reality, and using the wrong language can lead to missed opportunities. For example; I'm too busy - means you're putting your time elsewhere.  I can't afford it  - it means you're spending your money on something else.  Ongoing personal development and health are significant, but they are two common areas of life where people often don't show up for themselves. Showing up for yourself is about putting yourself first; it's not about being selfish. It's about allowing time for you.  Four essential steps to show up for yourself: Being Aware - You need to have an awareness of when you're making excuses. When you make excuses, you're ripping yourself off. Clarity - Explore what you want in life and if it isn't clear after five minutes, start writing what you don't want. When you know what you don't want, what you want becomes more clear.  If you're still unsure, put yourself first, create some time and space, get a journal and start writing. Take Action - The universe responds to the energy of taking action. Actions create new experiences, and that brings in more opportunities. As soon as you take the first step, it starts to create the opportunities. Future Pace Yourself - If you were at the end of your life, what would you have regretted not doing, and how will you know you've lived a fulfilled life? "There's no past, there's no future there are just never-ending moments of NOW. You can't change the past but what can you do is take action NOW". Final Tip As the business leader, you should be showing up for yourself, not showing up for the team. You need to be your best self first before you can be the best leader for your team.  If you have any questions about this episode, one-on-one business coaching or any of my group coaching programs, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, and we can arrange a quick ZOOM call.  You can also connect with Deb Johnstone at https://www.debjohnstone.com.au/.

Is finding wealth, and maintaining or restoring your health a path to prosperity?  Dr. Tyson Franklin is a graduate of the Queensland University of Technology and over the past 30+ years, he has successfully opened more than 20 podiatry businesses. At one stage, he operated 5 podiatry businesses approximately 1000 miles apart and from that experience, he learned quickly that great systems are paramount if you want a business to run without you. He feels business education is one of the key ingredients to business success, which is why he wrote It's No Secret There's Money in Podiatry, and it's why he focuses his energy on Podiatry Business Coaching and enjoys sharing other podiatrists' stories on the Podiatry Legends Podcast.I met Tyson in 2013 when he traveled across the world to attend the Top Practices Marketing and Management Summit in Nashville, TN. Tyson being Tyson he created and nurtured a number of relationships and friendships that he made at that meeting and has been of our circle ever since. It's a delight (and you will soon see why I use that word) to share my good friend with you, Dr. Tyson Franklin.Recommended Books:Be Our Guest

My guest Jonathan Small is a UK based podiatrist, and he believes that you should be charging what you're worth, and nothing less. You should also stay away from the land of low fees because it is a dangerous place and nothing good ever comes from it.  If you want to have a financially viable podiatry business, you've got to set your fees correctly. You should never set your prices based on what your competitors are charging. Jonathan has appeared three times on the Podiatry Legends Podcast. His first appearance was on Ep 006: Work Smart, Not Harder and then on Ep 044: Podiatry Success Is A Mindset. On this episode we discuss: Why podiatrists don't value the service they provide.   Fee mindset When you charge higher fees, you also have to start delivering on service COVID-19 is showing why having low fees is not a good business move and is damaging long-term.  Cashed up podiatrists who charged correctly and now have a cash reserve will ride out this pandemic comfortably.  When you charge more, you can provide better services, do more CPD, etc.  Higher fees are a reflection of the value of the education you provide to your patients - What is the value of the solution to the patient?  The public perception of professionals that charge higher fees (Surgeons, Lawyers...why not Podiatrists)  "My approach is that if a patient comes to me with a foot problem that I can fix it as well as a surgeon can fix why should I charge any different to that surgeon?" Reboot Your Podiatry Business NOW is the perfect opportunity to reboot your podiatry business because patients are taking their health far more serious since COVID-19. So if you think outside the box, there are real opportunities to be had.   Being Busy Is Not A Sign of Success  If you want a successful business, you need to free up time from your diary so you can work on the business.  Therefore you need to get rid of some patients by increasing your fees or take on another employee to see those patients for you, so you have time to work on the business.  Saying you do not have time is not an excuse, especially now.  Marketing You have to get your marketing systems set and working correctly and to do this right it takes time, which is why you need to free up the time you're spending with patients.  If you don't like working on the business and working on your marketing that fine, you just need to get someone who does like it, or you should work for someone else. Business is not for everyone.  You need to work: On the business In the business And away from the business (time off) "When you have a good marketing strategy, you create a steady stream of new patients, and this is what makes your business safe and successful".  Final Tip Make a decision not to live the land of lower fees. Decide that you're going to be the Ferrari of foot care. You will lose patients, but if you have a good marketing strategy, you will quickly fill that void.  If you have any questions about this episode, please send me an email at tf@tysonfranklin.com, or you can connect with Jonathan at Health First Foot & Gait Clinic.

Dave James is a UK based Podiatrist & Business Coach, and previous guest on this podcast (Ep 007). I asked Dave to come back onto the show to talk about a topic that I know is extremely important but often avoided by many people, myself included, and that's using video to grow your podiatry business. Dave shares some straightforward tips that will give you the confidence to start shooting video almost immediately, and I know this for a fact because that's what I did straight after we did this recording. That's how simple Dave's make it all sound.  On this episode we discuss:  Why being the real you is what people need to see. Be authentic.  Shooting video is as easy as grabbing your phone, pressing record and hitting upload. Editing is not required.  If you overthink it, video is not easy, but it is still simple to do Why people don't shoot video is because they are concerned they: Sound funny Look funny And don't have anything to say Important to remember, no one sees you the same way you see yourself. The Haters When you shoot and upload a video, you're putting yourself out there for everyone to see. The people who like you will find you but so to will the people who don't like you. "You can't control what others think; you can only control what you put out there, not how people react". This is why you should never take advice from someone that is not fighting the same battle as you. If you're criticised it will be from someone that is not shooting video themselves, so do not listen to them.  It's Important To Be The Real You If there is any incongruence between you on video and you in real life it will be noticed, and it can cause an unconscious unease. People can smell when you're trying to sell something.  Patients will feel uncomfortable with you and not know why, so always be the real you on video.  ZMOT - Zero Moment of Truth Google refers to the zero moment of truth as the moment in the buying cycle when the patient, customer or client researches a product, often before the seller even knows that they exist and decides that yes, they will do business with you.  Authentic videos will help move the ZMOT along faster.  Finding Video Content  Podiatrists are often confused about what they should talk about on video and Dave offers some simple advice.  Every time a patient asks you a question, write it in a journal, no matter how simple the subject and these are the topics of your videos.  "If you see 15 patients per day, it's highly probable you will be asked 15 questions. Answer the questions; there's your video content." When you post a video: Someone may say you're a twat. Someone may say thank you very much. But someone will say can I ask you another question? And that's what you want.  It's as simple as: Deciding on your content (patient questions) Simply pick up your phone and start recording. Little to no editing, and there's no need for flashy introductions and transitions. Upload Avoid Overproduction If you overproduce your videos with intro and transitions and too much flare, it disconnects you from the person watching the video. You want them to see you as real.  You want to create a regular conversation using ordinary day-to-day words, looking around like you would in a natural conversation, that's your goal.  The more barriers you create trying to be perfect, the harder it will be for you to do.  Good Quality Sound When you are recording a video, lighting, background etc. are essential, but not as important as the sound quality. If recording video on your phone outside, be aware of the wind.  Captions are also important as a very high percentage of people watch a video without sound.  Final Things To Think About How much time have you got? How much effort do you want to put into it? What is it you want to say? And how do you want to say it?

Talysha Reeve has had quite a unique podiatry career, as most of her post-graduate studies, CPD courses and certifications have been obtained through other allied-health bodies, not traditional podiatry. Currently, Talysha balances her time between working at an Adelaide sports podiatry business and her podiatry CPD business, Kinetic Therapies, that delivers both live and online podiatry CPD content, primarily on the use of exercise therapies for musculoskeletal conditions seen in podiatric practice. On this episode we discuss: The love-hate relationship with podiatry as a student and in her first years of practice.  Burning out only after a few years. Quitting podiatry to work in a coffee shop Realisation there's no money in making coffee What it is like working with elite athletes at a specialist sports medicine clinic. Benefits of doing CPD from outside the profession Why knowing more about exercise prescription is essential even if you do not treat athletes. Active versus passive therapies Why patients must buy into the treatment goal Communication Why you need to charge appropriately. You need to value your service, expertise and additional training.  Final Tip Do not panic if you haven’t found your passion or niche in podiatry yet. If a patient comes in with a specific pathology and this excites you, and you want to learn more, then follow that. You don’t have to stick to the mainstream.  If you have any questions about this episode, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, or you can connect with Talysha Reeve on Linkedin.  Newsletter & Events  To be kept up to date with my next PODIATRY MARKETING WORKSHOPS and other EVENTS, please sign up to my NEWSLETTER.

THIS EPISODE IS A SPECIAL EDITION: Only a few weeks ago on Episode 067, my guest was Dr Emily Splichal, a fit and healthy New York City podiatrist, and as you're probably aware, New York City is like a battleground right now because of COVID-19. Dr Emily has become one of the statistics.  As I record this episode on the 4th of April 2020, New York City just had its worst daily death toll of 562 people taking the states' total death toll to 2935. New York State now has over 100,000 positive COVID-19 cases and also added another 10,000 today. At present, there are over 15,000 people hospitalised, which brings me to the reason I want to produce this particular special edition episode. The Diagnosis  Dr Emily Splichal was recently diagnosed as COVID-19 positive and being relativity young, fit and very healthy she only had mild symptoms initially. Still, within days her symptoms became much worse, and she was force call 911 and was rushed to the hospital. While she was waiting for the ambulance fighting to breathe, Emily posted a quick message on Facebook pleading everyone to take this pandemic seriously, it is very real and does not just affect the old and sick, it can affect anyone or any age, it does not discriminate.  Emily was also scared and in fear of her life, and you could tell from her post that Emily was not confident of the outcome.  When I saw her message, I thought wholly shit because Emily was the first person I knew who had been hit hard by COVID-19, but fortunately, she did get through the worst of it, and I ask if she would share her ordeal with my podcast audience, and maybe we could all learn something from it. If you want to reach out to Emily and ask a question, you can email her at dremily@ebfafitness.com, and if you have any other questions about this episode or previous episodes, please reach out to me at tf@tysonfranklin.com Consider A Podcast Review If you enjoy the Podiatry Legends Podcast, please feel free to leave a REVIEW on iTunes, or wherever you like to listen to podcasts. 

There's one thing all successful podiatrists have in common, regardless of where they are in the world, and that is they all have a positive mindset, and Irish Podiatrist Locan O Donaile proves this once again. Lorcan is the author of a new book titled Podiatry Business Success Secrets - The Ultimate Guide to Building a Profitable Podiatry Practice That Works Without You, and if you want to grab a copy of his book it is FREE, yes free from his website www.morepracticeprofits.com On this episode we discuss: The writing process was much easier than you think You need a business mindset Why you need to get your head right. It's okay to make a profit, and you don't need to fleece people.  When you make money, you can give and do more for the community. A good profitable business is a secure business Clinical skills are not a guarantee of a profitable or successful business Yes, you need clinician excellence, but you also need business skills Fixing your leaky bucket It costs 12-14 times more to get new patients than it does to look after your existing patients. Undercharging and under servicing, versus providing a premium service for a premium price. Knowing Your Numbers If you don't know your numbers, you cannot make wise decisions. What are your rebooking rates? How many come back for second appointments? Your P & L, you need to know this every month. When you know your numbers, you can use this information for coaching. The employer can be objective, not subjective. Marketing Most podiatrists have no plan or understand how marketing works, or know if it's working. You need to know who you want to attract. Who is your Ideal Patient? What is your message? Where are they? What's the message? You've got to love your staff If your team are no good, it's your fault. It's different to working with patients; it's a different relationship because you have their life's in your hands and you need to be empathetic. They will make mistakes, and they will never be 100% like you, and now and then, one of your team will shit all over you". "If you're not pissing people off your not trying hard enough."

WARNING: This is an uplifting episode that will make you immediately want to achieve more. If you love wallowing in misery and negativity, do not press play.  Dr Jeffrey Tho is a Melbourne based dentist and dental business coach who represented Australia at the 2010 and 2014 Commonwealth Games in Delhi and Glasgow. This episode could not have been better-timed with all that is happening in the world right now concerning the Coronavirus.   Today we discuss: What it's like to be a Commonwealth Games athlete High performance and dedication to a goal The correlation between success in sport and life Even with hard work, there are no guarantees of success  The difference between results and processes The Badminton Podcast - Jasmine Kouch (Podiatrist) - Foot For Though, Ep:023 "As an athlete, you get so used to hard work that you assume everything you do in the future will take the same effort." You need to be results-driven, but process focused Process focused means concentrating on the things that are going to give you the results, it's the day to day things you must do each day to get the desired result. In a game each shot will win the point, each point will win the set, each set will win the match, and each match will win the competition.  Results are essential because you need to know where you're going, but if you're thinking about the results while you're playing a game (or treating a patient), you're not thinking about the game plan, the activities you need to do to make it a successful outcome.  Snapping Yourself Out of A Rut - Finding a Trigger We need to recognise the patterns of when we're falling into a negative situation or short term rut.  In sport, this is why even the best athletes have a coach. The coach will tell them precisely what to do, they can see things the athlete cannot see, but when you're your coach, you need to know when this is happening and recognise it early.  Train Certain Triggers You can train yourself to have triggers when you need them. You need to do a specific physical movement that you wouldn't normally do and then add a word, and attached to that word a feeling or emotion. You need to develop your own, and it could be as simple as taking a 10-minute walk during the day.  Changing The Lens  The trigger doesn't need to be that long or complicated; it's just about bringing up and associating a feeling or thought when you need them.  For example, if you were having a consultation with an annoying patient, but that morning someone gave you a million dollars, you wouldn't care, and this patient would not affect you at all because you're seeing the problem through a different lens. It's really just about your perspective.

Most podiatrists, when they reach a certain point in their career, want to volunteer or give back to the profession in some way. Some focus their attention locally, while others like the idea of helping overseas.  On this episode, I talk with Greg Lawrence, the owner of Georgetown Foot Clinic in Ontario, Canada and Board Member of the Ontario Society of Chiropodists about this and a lot more.  Our conversation begins by discussing the use of the words Chiropody and Podiatry in Ontario.  Greg's involvement on the Organising Committee for the upcoming annual conference April 30 - May 2  Volunteering in Belize (Central America) and working with the local diabetes association.  I also want to give a personal shout out to Superior Medical for helping Greg with supplies and providing instruments for his humanitarian trip.  As a business owner, what were his most significant challenges Best business tip - pick a colour and use it everywhere, and eventually when people see that colour, including referrers they will immediately relate it to you.

We hear so much from "motivational speakers" or so-called success gurus that you want your passions to drive your work. Maybe they're right, maybe not. It certainly sounds good, but it does raise a few questions.  Dr David Weiman is a psychologist and leadership consultant in Philadelphia. He helps business leaders of all types, including those who run podiatry businesses, with finding the best talent, strengthening their teams and improving their leadership by finding their purpose, values and best self.  Today we discuss: Is success related to, or dependent on your passion(s) or not? If you were passionate at one point in time, and it's gone, are you screwed? How do you reclaim your past passions?  Are you running out of gas, and what should you do? How do you find your passion when you don't know what your passions are? Where does your life fit in with your profession? Why some podiatrists over-value money. Podiatrists that say they do not have time are lying The Just Noticeable Difference: Is a concept in psychology where the percentage of something has to change a certain amount before it is noticed. It’s usually about 10% (Weight, Fees, etc.) Why some podiatrists have got to hit the wall before they want to change.  What You Can Do Right Now Firstly, you need to understand that the seeds of our passions are planted in our childhood.  What did you love doing and get excited about when you were a child?  When the time was not a concept, what did you love doing? What hobbies did you love to do?

If you want a successful podiatry business, you need to look after your team, WOW your patients and have well thought out systems and processes that work flawlessly in the background making sure everything comes together as it should. Few do this better than Dr Peter Wishnie from New Jersey, USA. Peter is the owner of Family Foot & Ankle Specialists, and is the author of The Podiatry Business Solution - Everything You Need To Know To Flourish In Your Podiatry Business. He was also my guest on the Podiatry Legends Podcast, Ep 003 - Goals & Practice Management.  On this episode we also discuss: The recipe for success The importance of a vision and mission statement "Give your patient a better quality of life; your team will buy into this. Don’t talk about the millions you want to make, that's not motivating".  Organisational needs Speed of delivery Customer service and how to WOW your patients The importance of hiring upbeat, positive people, and avoiding being understaffed. You cannot function efficiently without adequate staff "Your business growth is limited by what you have. The number of staff and number of rooms. You can't expand beyond your resources".  Patients will not come back if they have a terrible experience.  Paying attention to the small details and getting the basics right. Every major problem began with smaller parts.

On my office wall at home, I have a quote that says, "The next connection you make could be the one that changes your life", and my guest today Trevor Prior is a master when it comes to making and maintaining meaningful relationships. And he does it both in and out of the podiatry profession. Trevor openly admits that podiatry was not his first choice, even though both his parents were Chiropodists. Still, once he understood the potential of this profession, he ran with it and has taken his career far beyond his initial expectations.  Today we discuss: The early days on biomechanics and developing his bio skills by doing.  How he went down the surgery route Building relationships with US podiatrists Creating patterns in your learning, especially things you often say and do. Different people come to education at various times "Just cause you haven't passed an exam doesn't mean you're no good at the subject. When you love it enough, you'll do the work until you get it".  Attending McDonalds University before the London Olympics The importance of maintaining the connections you make throughout your career.  Seeing the world because of good connections How to make initial connections when you're visiting an area.  Final Tips Anatomy, anatomy, Anatomy. You can't make a diagnosis without knowing your anatomy. Without a diagnosis how can you treat someone The basis of what we do, irrespective of your personality, is if you're an excellent clinician, then you will be successful. Still, you can't be an excellent clinician if you don't do a proper examination, come up with a diagnosis, and then give them the best evidence-based care you can.

José shares some critical information about how he went about learning additional skills from other, more experienced podiatrists in his area.

Louise Reaney is a UK based podiatrist and owner of LR Podiatry. Without knowing, Lousie became an accidental business owner and with that came a surprising amount of stress, mental fatigue, exhaustion and as she explains, "podiatry was boring the arse off me".  But, this all changed three years ago when Louise made a conscious effort to do something about the boredom that had set in, resulting in her becoming a happy podiatrist who now looks forward to working every day.   On this episode we discuss: Changing her business name  Getting to the point of exhaustion  Buying an existing general practice Lack of time for CPD Being too frightened to take a risk and make the required changes her podiatry business needed. Becoming an accidental business owner Being busy does not equal success or profitability Feeling trapped and thinking is this what everyone feels like in business Why podiatry became boring   Increasing her fees, resulting in losing a few patients, but having more time, more money and being happier #PodsHealheels   6 Significant Changes That Turned Louise Reaney's Career Around  Investing in new equipment  Joined Facebook Groups (OSGO Healthcare) Attending an OSGO Live event and meeting Nick Knight - Ep 011 & 017 Jill Woods - Ep 020 Jonathan Small - Ep 06 & 044 Tony Gavin - Ep 02 Sending messages to the podiatrists that she met at the OSGO Live event  Getting a Business Mentor Attending OSGO Live a second time and meeting Diane Ashcroft - Ep 013 If you have any questions about this podcast, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, or you can connect with Louise Reaney at lrpodiatry68@gmail.com Show Sponsor is Podium If you want to learn how to get an edge over your competitors and receive more frequent Google Reviews, and how to keep all your online messaging in one convenient place, then you need to visit our dedicated sponsors' page at https://try.podium.com/podiatrylegends/ Newsletter & Events  If you'd like to be kept up to date with my next PODIATRY MARKETING WORKSHOPS and other EVENTS, please sign up to my NEWSLETTER.

Every podiatry business wants more new patients and throwing thousands of dollars each month at Google Ads is not the answer. It may seem like a smart thing to do because others are doing it, but there is a better way to market your podiatry business that will save you money ($) and give you better results.  Taylor Cutler is the Head of Marketing at Podium Australia, and today we discuss how you can improve your online reputation, generate a constant flow of positive Google reviews and the benefits of using one platform to communicate online with your patients.  PODIUM is a rich communication platform that health practices use to communicate back and forth with their patients via text messages. It can be used for appointment reminders, setting appointments and generating online Google reviews. Modern Consumers and Patients Our podiatry patients are no different from other consumers, they want convenience, and they want instructions to be easy to follow. Amazon and other online retailers have taught consumers they can order almost anything and with just a few clicks of the keyboard have it delivered to their door, and they want this type of convenience across the board.  How Are Patients Finding You? Online bookings are now commonplace, yet some people still want that personal touch and prefer to talk to someone on the phone, but even these people are finding you online. They are not staring at a billboard on the side of the road and typing in your phone number.   Simple SEO If you have good SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), you’ll get more people finding you online when they search, and there are two types of SEO, Normal SEO and Local SEO.  WARNING: Some companies throw around terms like metadata to try and confuse you and make you think you need an agency, and you don't.  Smartphones - The Disruptor  The smartphone has been the biggest disruptor to how we search for information. Not too long ago if you wanted to search for a business or service, you would have to wait until you get back to your computer at home or work, but now everything you need is in the palm of your hands.  Micro-Moment (termed by Google) A micro-moment is when a person is in a moment when they WANT to BUY or DO something, and as business owners, we need to take advantage of these moments.  This is why Local SEO is way more critical than Normal SEO.  "When someone does a local search on their smartphone, 76% will visit a physical place within 24 hours of that search, and 28% of those people will make a purchase".  Google My Business Listing  When someone searches for a Podiatrist, you want to be in the top three of the local business search. Being on page one is less important these days.  How can you get in those top three spots? Relevance (are you a podiatrist, so that's easy) Distance (how close are you to the person searching) Prominence (how prominent is your business) Prominence is based around your online reputation. How many online reviews do you have and how often are they coming in? You have no control over Relevance and Distance, so the only thing you can control is your Prominence.  4 Factors with Local Search Rankings  Recency (When was the last time you received an online review) Frequency (How often are the reviews occurring) Quality (Did they leave a star rating or did they write a well-written review using keywords Google looks for, like BEST podiatry clinic) ) Quantity (how many reviews do you have) Once you understand the importance of getting reviews, you need to start inviting your patients to leave an online review, and you need to ask everyone, not just suitable patients.  How Can You Make The Process Frictionless?  The modern consumer wants the review process to be convenient and super easy to do. If there are too many steps involved, they will not do it.  PODIUM uses text messaging via their app because text messages have an open rate of 99%, and most occur in the first three minutes.  Set the Expectation You cannot just send a text to a patient asking for a review without first explaining the HOW, WHEN & WHY.  Patients have a sense of empathy and like feeling important, and if you explain what to do, they are extremely more like to leave a review.  Your Team You could have the best review process in place (like using PODIUM) and still not get good reviews because your team give poor service, so everyone on your team needs to be well trained and wants to be part of the team.  2 Things You Should Do Immediately Claim your Google My Business listing and make sure you own it and if it's not set up, create it. Just type in Google my business (This is the beginning of your local search optimisation) Make sure all your name and practice details are consistent on all online profiles and websites.  Google Ads Versus Rankings Google Ads do work, but a lot of patients will quickly move past them and look at the businesses below in order as they are ranked. What do you do when searching?  If you rank below 3.2, patients will move straight past you and onto the next listing. You should have a ranking higher than 4.0 because often Google excludes businesses from specific searches if they fall below 4.0.  The magic number is 4.9  "One of the dumbest things you can do is buy reviews because Google can blacklist you".  If you have any questions about this podcast, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com Show Sponsor is Podium If you want to learn how to get an edge over your competitors and receive more frequent Google Reviews, and how to keep all your online messaging in one convenient place, then you need to visit our dedicated sponsors' page at https://try.podium.com/podiatrylegends/ Newsletter & Events  If you'd like to be kept up to date with my next PODIATRY MARKETING WORKSHOPS and other EVENTS, please sign up to my NEWSLETTER.

Ian Sadler was a successful Battlefield Medic and Paratrooper in the British Army working with Elite and Special Forces. Today he is the owner of BX Clinic (Specialist biomechanics) in Norwich and a physical trainer in the Army Reserves.  Today we talk about his passion for biomechanics and how his time in the military has influenced how he approaches the day to day running of his podiatry business and team.  We also discuss: Having belief in yourself and creating a positive culture Why you shouldn't be afraid to take risks and having a sink or swim attitude Working successfully with teams No change comes without pain "If we want the culture to change for us, we have to be the ones to go out and enact that change". Changing the direction of your clinic starts with the end in mind - do you know what your business will look like in 5, 10, or 15 years? Why you need to assess new ideas to see if it takes you in the right direction Army Service Test Essentially if you take action and you can happily say it meets the service test, the army will support you. An extreme example would be shooting someone or minor example would be should I have that next drink? In a clinical situation, if every decision has the patients benefit in mind, and the team knows it meets the business goals (service test), then the team will always support the decision.  "Solutions are easy if you know the direction that the clinic is heading and the business ethos".  Pods Heal Heels Pods Heal Heels is a grass-roots social media marketing campaign on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, started in 2019 in the UK. In the first two weeks of February, podiatrists are promoting they are the health profession of choice when it comes to treating heel pain.  Everyone needs to be using the hashtag #podshealheals  If you have any questions about this podcast, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, or you can connect with Ian Sadler at BX Clinic or via Facebook: UKBiomechanics and Instagram: Ian.sadler.bx Show Sponsor is Podium If you want to learn how to get an edge over your competitors and receive more frequent Google Reviews, and how to keep all your online messaging in one convenient place, then you need to visit our dedicated sponsors' page at https://try.podium.com/podiatrylegends/ Newsletter & Events  If you'd like to be kept up to date with my next PODIATRY MARKETING WORKSHOPS and other EVENTS, please sign up to my NEWSLETTER.

Amy Maclean is one funny podiatrist and has an infectious sense of humour. It could be because she is from Scotland, but I honestly believe it's her enthusiasm and attitude towards work and life, which made her such an absolute joy to talk with.  Amy is the owner of Amy Maclean Podiatry, and she was the co-host with Dave James (Episode 007) at the OSGO Foot & Ankle Show last year in Liverpool, UK, which is where we first met.   On this episode we discuss: Studying Pharmacy for two years before studying podiatry The lightbulb moment she knew it was time to change careers Propositioning people to get her first job Getting an excellent business offer from a businessman, but deciding to go out on her own instead.

Dave Cashley owns Dundee Podiatry Clinic in Scottland. He has a special interest in lower extremity manipulation, and this interest has led Dave to publish and lecture extensively on this particular topic. He is now studying toward a PhD.  His research is based around the treatment of neuromas, doing a parallel study of manual therapy versus steroid injections. The Best Thing About Neuromas You don’t need any fancy kit to diagnose or treat it, other professionals stay away from it, and no one outside of podiatry gets good results.  It's a common, debilitating problem, and we can make a big difference in people’s lives.  On this episode we discuss: Other treatment modalities and why Dave leaned towards manual therapy Clinical biases - Are the results you’re getting in the clinic a fluke or the real deal. Biased questioning to patients Dave explains how research questions differ from what we would typically ask in a clinical situation Minimal patient contact during research How manual therapy became an interest and his connection with other podiatrists in this area Why podiatrists should be making a decent income regardless of their area of interest. "If you have a paupers mentality, you will make a paupers wage".  If you’re struggling to make money, you need to get a mentor, and you need to change your mindset. "To find your destination you've got to get on the right bus".  Final Tip: If you do not love life as a podiatrist have a look around and make some changes.

Ian Griffiths is a London based Podiatrist, and Craig Payne resides in Melbourne, Australia. In October 2017, while Craig was visiting Ian in the UK, he had an idea, "let's do a Facebook LIVE video and see what happens". To their surprise, it was well-received and so began Pod Chat LIVE.

On this episode we discuss: The reason for starting Pod Chat Live in October 2017 How people consume information is changing and why we need to change with the times Why the show went from video on Facebook and YouTube to a podcast show It's a FREE resource - "I’m sorry if you do not like the show, would you like your money back".  Positive reinforcement  Fear of public speaking Craig Payne's - Podiatry CPD Academy  Ian Griffiths - Sports Podiatry Info Niching works  Final Tip Ian - Listen to Pod Chat Live, it’s never been easier to have information at your fingertips.  Craig - Don’t drink the Kool-Aid or jump on the bandwagons that other people are falling for.  "Be an excellent critical thinker with a certain level of healthy scepticism".  If you have any questions about this podcast, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, or you can connect with Ian and Craig via their Pod Chat Live website or Facebook Page.  Business Coaching & Mentoring If your podiatry business needs help to develop marketing strategies or business systems, the most efficient way to do this is with one-on-one coaching and mentoring.

When it comes to running a successful podiatry business, it is vital to find your passion, surround yourself with the right team, and develop a mindset of success by associating with like-minded positive people.  Drs Peyman & Viedra Elison are a dynamic podiatry team that own Fixing Feet Institute in Surprise, Arizona. I recently spent three days with them in Tempe, Arizona at Business Black Ops, which is a high-level mastermind group.  I've wanted to get them on the Podiatry Legends Podcast for some time, so while I had them together in Arizona, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to capture their thought of podiatry business success.  On this episode we discuss: Choosing to live in different states to pursue their podiatry careers.  Working on an Indian Reservation in Arizona and how this has shaped Viedra's career and passion for diabetes and limb salvage. Peyman's passion for paediatric biomechanics, foot deformities and peripheral nerve surgery. Associates and culture problems - "Some people are just not trainable".  Why continuing medical education is essential, but if you want to grow a successful business and life, you've got to attend business and marketing events.  You need a positive mindset to bring it all together.  Viedra's Tip: In the early part of your career, focus on your education, not your location. You need to get out of your comfort zone.  Peyman's Tip: Find a niche market, something you enjoy and hone in on it. And if you feel you're in a rut, start hanging out with new people.  If you have any questions about this podcast, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com   One-On-One Coaching If your podiatry business needs help to develop marketing strategies or business systems, the most efficient way to do this is with one-on-one coaching.

Andrew Jones is the go-to podiatrist for elite athletes and anyone needing particularly clever problem-solving for health-related foot conditions. He is recognised as one of New Zealand's leading podiatrists and runs the Waikato Podiatry Clinic. His business success has been built by following a Win-Win-Win Philosophy. On this episode we discuss: His transition from sheep shearing to feet, via a foot problem he sustained in the Rotorua marathon.  Caring for your patients, but at the same time caring for yourself and your business.  Running a successful podiatry business by using a win-win-win approach. There must be a Win for the clinician: There must be satisfied with what you do and also adequate income. There must be a Win for the patient: You need to sort out their problems. There must be a Win for the business: It has to be a sustainable financial model, or it will go backwards. Making sure the pendulum for business success doesn't swing too far, or not enough. It's about getting the balance right. It takes money to buy the equipment you need to look after your patients properly; therefore, you need to charge the right fees.  The importance of your mental health "You can get everything in life you want if you help enough other people get what they want" - Zig Ziglar Obstacles faced in New Zealand with limited health insurance, GST on podiatry and small population. Why communication is key The secret in the number four or less.  "A confused mind always says no." High-performance sports New Zealand How you can build a strong following and engagement by sharing a patients journey, and why this is an excellent marketing idea for your social media pages.

Joseph Frenkel is the owner of Heel Me Podiatry & Wound Care, St Kilda, Victoria. He is a La Trobe University Graduate and completed his Master of Science with a specialty in Wound Healing and Tissue Repair at Cardiff University, and his Professional Diploma of Dermatology at Bond University.  If you've never looked at wound care as an exciting topic or area of interest in podiatry, I think you may change your mind after listening to this particular episode.  On this episode we discuss: Had a passion for wound care, even as a student Almost burning out after five years by not following his passion. The daily ritual of routine nail care, orthotics and ingrown toenails were making him brain dead. Just cutting toenails felt like a waste of his passion and knowledge, but he is not saying this area of podiatry is not essential.  His big reason to start more study was to re-energise his career, he wanted to be doing something he loved.  Studying at Cardiff University: He knew from day one that this was were he needed to be and wound care was what he was supposed to be doing. He also met a fantastic group of health professionals from different professions with the same interests and passion.  Adding a sub-specialty adds variety to your workload and is a stepping stop to other opportunities.  Podiatric Dermatology  "What got me excited about wound care was the ability to affect change. It has a quite exciting immediacy".  The difference between what we learn about wound care as an undergrad compared to doing a postgrad course. Ability to think critically The undergrad course is just a knowledge dump The postgrad course gives you broader knowledge and hells you make quicker decisions in regards to referrals. For example, not all wounds are not wounds (Venous Eczema) The benefits of good referrals between health practitioners Practice Ready Podiatry - aimed at new grads help them think clinically "If you do what you love, it creates opportunities, creates business and it creates energy". When you share knowledge, it's like a boomerang it comes back to you.  Marketing Doesn't Mean You're Selling Out As A Podiatrist Marketing is an extension of you. If people don't know about you-you cannot help them, and best of all, you have complete autonomy over how you sell yourself. Marketing professionally or unprofessionally, the choice us yours.  You need to know what you like and what you don't like and then focus on the areas you want.  It's crucial to establish your identity. Not just on who you are, but also what you want to do. Always do what you like and build around this. It's not about having multiple clinics.  Where to Get Started With Would Care Upskill yourself Network with others with a common interest Join Wounds Australia Join wound interests groups (Facebook) Do short courses Go deeper with taking on a Masters Degree.     If you have any questions about this podcast episode, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, or you can connect with Joseph Frenkel on Linkedin or via his website Heel Me Podiatry & Wound Care If you enjoyed this episode you might also enjoy: Ep 010: Dr Andrew Schneider Running A Successful Solo-Practice One-On-One Coaching & Mentoring The fastest and most efficient way to grow your podiatry business is by using a business coach or mentor.

When it comes to being a success podiatrist, we all have different ideas on what real success looks like, and I think my guest Craig Schooth from Sunnybank Hills Podiatry, Brisbane has got it pretty well worked out.  Family, work, health and fitness, and time off for holidays and socialising with friends are all important, but what's more important is to find the right balance that works best for you, not what someone else tells you it should be. On this episode we discuss:  Being a mature aged student and studying while married with children.  His competitive Triathlete days and how this lead to his first exposure to podiatry, via the QUT Podiatry Clinic. Phillip Pearlman took him for a run along Brisbane River as part of his initial biomechanical assessment. This exposure got Craig interested in the MSK aspect of podiatry. Studying and working "When you put yourself in that situation, you must make it work." Never wait for that perfect time; it will probably never arrive. Taking on a QLD Rural Scholarship took the pressure off of finding a job upon graduation. Living in Roma, 500km west of Brisbane. It's not all negative as we sometimes shear.  Moving back to Brisbane didn't exactly go to plan, and it was a soul destroying moment having three children and no job. The best part about podiatry is there's no shortage of work if you want it.  Buying Sunnybank Hills Podiatry in 2011 and what he learnt working for himself.  "The best thing about being a solo practitioner is working on your terms and getting all the fruits of your efforts." Pivoting The Focus of His Business Craig recently made a conscious decision to get back to why he wanted to be a podiatrist in the first place and is slowly turning his general practice into a more MSK style clinic. The key is doing it slowly and also helpful to have some one-on-one coaching to help change the focus.  You can continue to see 80 or 100+ general patients every week without having to do anything, but if it's not fulfilling, it's become a job.  Make Realistic Changes You must be realistic about the changes you want to make in your patient profile and balance between MSK patients and general patients. What is the correct balance for you? There is no right or wrong answer.  First, you need to know who you want to attract. Who is my ideal patient or patient avatar?   What Is Success? There is no definition of a successful person in podiatry. Is not money or the toys you can afford. Your quality of life is more important than money, and it's spending time with people you care about and creating memories.  If you have any questions about this podcast episode, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, or you can connect with Craig Schooth via his website.  If you enjoyed this episode you might also enjoy: Ep 010: Dr Andrew Schneider Running A Successful Solo-Practice One-On-One Coaching & Mentoring The fastest and most efficient way to grow your podiatry business is by using a business coach or mentor.

On my Podiatry Legends Podcast, I was joined by Simon Bartold and his story and career were so interesting I thought it had to be shared on It's No Secret with Dr T., it was too good to leave a secret.  Simon Bartold has worked with elite athletes for more than three decades, been to four Olympic Games, lectured in 42 countries, worked with Asics for 20-years and was head hunted by global footwear company Salomon to head up research, design and development of their road running range.  Simon explained that he worked with some of the best sporting clubs and sports practitioners after graduating, and he did this for almost 15 years before he was paid a cent, it was all done for FREE. But as he puts it, you cannot put a price on the experience he gained. "If you want to learn be prepared to do it for nothing, that's just the way it works".  To see full show notes - Click Here If you have any questions about this episode, please send an email to me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, and if you've been enjoying this podcast show, please consider leaving a REVIEW on iTunes.  WORKSHOP - Biomechanics & Business: Profit From A Better Understanding.

If you want to be successful both personally and in business and be surrounded by a team of successful people, you need to start building your resilience muscle. My guest Chris Desmond, Physiotherapist, Coach and Host of Uncomfortable is OK knows more than most about being uncomfortable.  Chris Desmond was also my guest on Episode 07: Uncomfortable is OK.  So, What Is Resilience? Resilience means to be able to navigate and recover from challenging situations quickly. It's about getting better at overcoming challenges, which improves your ability to do hard things, and in business hard things come up all the time. Eventually, it leads to more success. "Resilience  breeds persistence and persistence breeds success".  Why Team Resilience Is Important  Breeding resilience in your teams is essential. As they improve, you can delegate more tasks, and this will free up your time to work more on your business.  A more skilled workforce may mean more pay for them but in the long run a better business for you.  A more engaged team is less likely to leave, which saves times not having to re-train new team members, and also they tend to take less sick days. You end up with more production.  It's Not About Hardening Up Just trying to harden up and pushing through a situation leads to being overwhelmed, burnt out, sickness and decreased productivity.   Resilience is about having a skill set to cope with uncomfortable situations; it's the opposite to just pushing through it. It's figuring out a way for you to go through it while keeping yourself healthy and delivering quality work.   Where To Start 1. Strategically need to step out of your comfort zone.  Pick a situation you're not comfortable with and build your resilience muscle to that situation. In business, you may dislike networking events. If that's the case, you need to start attending networking events.  2. Do it progressively. Pick something just outside you comfortable a little bit and slowly start building you your resilience muscle. Think about new skills you want to learn.  It's very similar to running a marathon. You do not jump off the couch and run a marathon; it's something you must train for and over time you build up your distance.  What happens when the going gets thought? Easy for us to quite 3. Understanding WHY.  When the going gets tough it's easy to quit, so you need to know WHY you're doing what you do.  Ask these questions: a) How is what I'm doing getting me closer to the person I want to become? b) How is what I'm doing getting me closer to what I want to achieve? c) How is what I'm doing helping those people around me? 4. Cultivate a community around you that will build you up. They say you are the average of the five people around you, so do you have people around you that are positive?  You get different things from different people, so you need multiple people in your community with different experiences and skill sets.  You need to know who to go to about a specific topic, and who else for another issue.  "Building resilience muscles benefit you, your team and everyone else around you".  If you have any questions about this podcast episode, please contact me at tf@tysonfranklin.com or you can connect with Chris Desmond on FACEBOOK at Uncomfortable is OK, LinkedIn or his website UncomfortableIsOK.com If you're a podiatrist, or you're a person that is open to new ideas and like to think out of the box, check out the Podiatry Legends Podcast.  FREE DOWNLOAD: First 16 Pages of My Book – It’s No Secret There’s Money in Small Business.

When it comes to setting goals and managing a podiatry practice, there is no one better than Dr Peter Wishnie from New Jersey, USA. I met Peter in Nashville in 2013 at a Top Practices event, and his positive thinking towards podiatry had a massive impact on my professional life, which is why he was a must-have-guest on the Podiatry Legends Podcast.  On this episode we discuss the following: Practice Management and the Virtual Practice Management Institute that Peter Wishnie runs with Tina Del Buono and Rem Jackson.  Goal Setting and what you need to do to make things happen. Business mentors Like it or not, we're all salespeople. Leadership & delegation 80:20 Rule "You've got to delegate the right tasks to the right people to get the best results".  Rainmaker Days You need to block out time in your week to make things happen in your business and time to talk with key people in your team. It must be a full day, not just a few hours, and it needs to be planned hour hour-by-hour what you're going to be doing during the day. If you do not plan out your day, it's easy for other people's agendas to fill your time, resulting in an unproductive day.    Business Growth The team you have now that took your business to $500,000 per annum may not be the same team that grows your business to $1,000,000 and beyond. But for the money to increase, you must also change.  Remember What It Is We Do Each Day "We don't help foot and ankle problems; we give people their life back".  If you can keep this thought top of mind, it will help keep you focused on what is essential in your daily activities.  If you have any questions about this podcast episode, please email me directly at tf@tysonfranklin.com, or you can contact Dr Peter Wishnie at peter@toppractices.com If you like this podcast and you're looking for more small business and marketing tips you may also enjoy It's No Secret with Dr T. or Peter's Podcast - Help Doc My Practice Sucks  Peter's Video - 7 Secrets To Getting Your Nights & Weekends Back  

I know the title of this podcast podiatry legends is a bit odd, but if you look at the word LEGEND, it means an extremely famous or notorious person, especially in a particular field or profession. So I don’t think I have any notorious podiatrists lined up as guests, but I do believe I have a group of podiatry guests that are already doing great things in our profession or will be shining lights in the not too distant future. Goal Of The Podcast So that is the goal of this podcast. I want to shed light all the great things happening in our profession, who is doing them and expose to you some of the fantastic career paths some podiatrists have taken, all over the world, which is why 100% of my guests are qualified Podiatrist. If you’re a podiatry student, or recent graduate and you’re wondering what the podiatry profession has to offer long-term, there is a lot if you want to open your eyes and your minds. If you’ve been in the podiatry profession for some time and your feeling tired, tuning in each week and listening to some of the fantastic stories may be the spark and motivation you need to pivot from your current path and take a different trajectory. What's Coming Up On Future Episodes On the next three episodes, you will hear from Tony Gavin based in the United Kingdom, Peter Wishnie from the United States and Simon Bartold from Australia. Each podiatry guest was selected because I believe they have a unique story to share and have done or are currently doing amazing things in our profession. Openly Sharing Important Information  One key trait I have noticed with all my guests so far is they are the type of podiatrists that love sharing what they have learnt. They don’t want to keep what they’ve discovered to themselves. Openly sharing their knowledge is why I referred to them as podiatry legends because that’s the sort of things legends do even though every guest so far has been quick to point out that they do not feel like legends. However, that’s what a legend would say. This Is Not A Technical Podcast I think it’s important to note this is not a technical podiatry podcast. This podcast is about sharing successful stories, ideas, career paths and upcoming worthwhile events, and along the way, we have a few laughs. Now I’m sure there are plenty of podiatrists who have no idea who I am or where I’m from, so I’m going to give you a brief rundown of where I fit in the profession and if you want to learn more go to my website tysonfranklin.com. Podiatry Scope Is Vast As a profession, I think podiatry offers so much scope, more so than most, and hopefully, after listening to a few of my legendary guests, you’ll be inspired to do more yourself, or at least start considering it. They say the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, so if you’re not 100% happy with what you’re doing every day; you have the power to change it. It’s not up to anyone else; it’s up to you. It’s just a decision. If you have any questions about this podcast or future podcasts, please send me an email at tf@tysonfranklin.com At the end of each episode, I also plan to have the contact details of each of guest and details of any upcoming workshops and events. Also, if you know of any podiatrists doing amazing things in our profession, please steer them my way and have them email me directly.   And finally, I have set up a Podiatry Legends Facebook page, which is where I’ll be posting each episode and information about upcoming workshops and events being run by myself and my guest.
