The P.t. Entrepreneur Podcast

In this podcast episode, Doc Danny shares strategies for introverted physical therapists to excel in local marketing and build a successful cash-based private practice. As an introvert herself, Danny understands the challenges and preferences of introverted individuals, who often thrive on deep connections rather than superficial networking. The key approach for introverts is to focus on building relationships with a select few individuals who align with their personality and views. These relationships can be with other health practitioners, coaches, athletes, or even gym owners who share similar interests. By connecting on a deeper level rather than just through treatment, introverted physical therapists can create a strong support network.    Head to the link below to participate in our 5 Day Challenge!   https://www.physicaltherapybiz.com/challenge   www.physicaltherapybiz.com/apply   Do you enjoy the podcast? If so, leave us a 5-star review on iTunes and tell a friend to do the same!

In this episode of the podcast, Doc Danny explores the significance of content marketing for physical therapy clinics and local service-based businesses. Drawing from his own experience in building Athletes Potential over the last ten years, he shares valuable lessons learned.

This content can take various forms such as written articles, videos, or audio recordings.

In this podcast episode, Doc Danny discusses the common experience of buyer's remorse that often occurs when people make new investments or commitments that involve money, especially when investing in themselves through things like mentorship programs or business courses.  He provides the example of when he bought his first house at age 23 for $122,000, and how the night after moving in he couldn't sleep because he was overwhelmed with anxiety about the large debt commitment and worries that the housing market could crash, leaving them unable to sell the house or make payments. However, the house ended up being a good long-term investment and start for their family.

In this podcast episode, Danny explores the difference between having a job and owning a business as a physical therapist. He introduces the "hit by a bus test," which challenges listeners to consider whether their business would continue generating income if they were suddenly unable to work. If not, they may have a job rather than a true business. Danny highlights the pros of a job/lifestyle business, including the potential to make good money (potentially 50% more than a clinic job), low overhead, ease of operation, and flexibility to take time off. However, he notes that there is a low income ceiling and limited scalability or potential for sale.

In this podcast episode, Doc Danny shares a fascinating case study of a physical therapy client's practice that was successfully sold for a higher-than-expected multiple.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Danny discusses the topic of managing relationships when subleasing office space as a new physical therapist entrepreneur. He highlights that many physical therapists begin their careers by being mobile or subleasing space in a gym or clinic. While being mobile has its advantages in terms of low overhead costs, it can prove to be challenging to scale the business and time-consuming when it comes to traveling between patients. Subleasing, on the other hand, is a more popular option that allows therapists access to gym equipment at a relatively low monthly cost, typically ranging from $1,500 to $2,000. Doc Danny emphasizes that when subleasing as a new physical therapist, the owner's character and mindset are more important than the location or price. Entrepreneurs should seek someone with integrity, a growth mindset, and a positive reputation through references.

In this episode of the podcast, Doc Danny and Shante dive into the challenges that many physical therapists face when they want to transition away from direct patient care and explore other areas of the profession.

However, they caution against making hasty decisions and encourage PTs to identify the specific aspects they dislike about their current role or workplace before making any changes. They emphasize that small changes can sometimes improve the situation.

In this podcast, Danny shares a story about one of his PT coaching clients who is a business owner. Two days before she was due to give birth, both of her staff members had emergencies come up that prevented them from running an injury screening workshop that the clinic had been working to develop with a local gym for over a year.  Though actively in labor with contractions, she decided she had to run the workshop herself to maintain the important relationship with the gym and potential client base. She took a shower, went to the workshop, and successfully ran the entire event alone. As a result, over half the attendees became new patients. She then had her baby two days later. Danny uses this story to illustrate the difference between being an employee and a business owner. As an owner, you have to be willing to sacrifice and go above and beyond for your business. In the early days especially, you'll have to say no to social plans and work long nights and weekends. You'll face stress, risk, potential failur

In this episode, we delve into the world of physical therapy business ownership and explore the key performance indicators (KPIs) that should be tracked to ensure the success and growth of your practice.

In this podcast episode, Doc Danny reflects on his experience attending the Inc. 5000 Gala for the second consecutive year after his company, PT Biz, made the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies. The Inc. 5000 list recognizes the top 5000 private US companies with the highest revenue growth over the past three years, and PT Biz's inclusion is a testament to their success.

In conclusion, Doc Danny shares key lessons from his experience, which include focusing on helping others, building a great team with shared values, celebrating wins, and constantly working on maintaining a balanced life outside of work. These insights provide valuable advice for entrepreneurs and anyone striv

In this episode of our podcast, Doc Danny delves into the crucial aspect of simplifying how physical therapists communicate with their patients. As healthcare providers, physical therapists often find themselves unintentionally overcomplicating explanations when discussing treatments with their patients. We explore how this tendency to delve into pain science and musculoskeletal systems can cause confusion and deter patients from seeking the help they need.  Doc Danny proposes a game-changing solution: condensing the explanation into three clear and concise points.  Head to the link below to participate in our 5 Day Challenge!   https://www.physicaltherapybiz.com/challenge   www.physicaltherapybiz.com/apply   Do you enjoy the podcast? If so, leave us a 5-star review on iTunes and tell a friend to do the same!

In this thought-provoking podcast episode, we dive deep into the fascinating concepts of fixed mindset versus growth mindset. We shed light on how having a fixed mindset can inadvertently restrict opportunities and create a sense of scarcity, while adopting a growth mindset can unlock abundance and open doors to new possibilities. Throughout the episode, we unravel concrete examples of how a fixed mindset can manifest itself in our lives. From feeling the need to compete with similar businesses to believing that our family's genetic makeup predisposes us to certain health issues, these fixed thinking patterns can hold us back. We also explore the personal journey of renowned artist Alicia Keys, who faced her own struggles with a scarcity mindset early on in her career.  Enjoy!
