The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsHow to stay focused & not get distractedThe truth is that most of us in the field of canine rehab never planned on being an entrepreneur. It is not why we went to PT or vet school, nor the reason why we became a canine rehab therapist. All we wanted to do was help some dogs, but somewhere along that journey we realized that the only way for us to be able to do so on our own terms would be if we opened your own business, and then we became an entrepreneur. But, the problem is that we never learned anything about business or entrepreneurship in schoo...

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsWhy you won't get (ideal) clients from FacebookToday might be a bit of a controversial episode, and I am open to discussion because I understand there are many different marketing strategies that can work depending on each individual circumstance. However, for today's episode I want to discuss why I don't think you will find your ideal clients on Facebook. I will explain my thoughts behind it, and hopefully help you understand my thinking behind why I think that way, so listen to the full episode as we discuss:
the different types of leads

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsChanging your Money MindsetOne of the biggest struggles we face as business owners and entrepreneurs in the field of canine rehab is figuring out how much to charge for our sessions. We all know that we have an issue in our field where many clinics undercharge for what we do, but the challenge is that we tend to undercharge not because we want to, but primarily because we have not shifted our money mindset. Listen to today's episode as we discuss:
We need to realize that selling is about helping people make a decision and it can be done in a prof...

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsThe many hats of business ownershipMany of us got into business ownership as canine rehab therapists without having much, if any, background in business, marketing, or general operations. While passion for what we do are a must to make this business thing work, we will eventually need to learn and develop a whole new set of skills related to entrepreneurship to make our business sustainable, but how do we balance out all the different roles and hats we need to wear as business owners?

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsPillars of a Successful and Sustainable Canine Rehab BusinessThrough my experience over the last few years mentoring and coaching canine rehab therapists on how to operate a successful and sustainable canine rehab business, I have realized that there are some pillars as to what allows them to achieve that level of success. Those pillars need to be a constant with any canine rehab business, no matter if you are solo or have a team, or are mobile or have a brick and mortar clinic. We always need to keep 3 main things in mind:
Invest in marketing, both from a financial but also from a time and...

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsFinancial Metrics for the Canine Rehab BusinessA common challenge in the field of canine rehabilitation is the lack of industry standards when it comes to business metrics and finances. We have those established industry standards in veterinary medicine and with human physical therapy clinics, but not for our field which leads towards many business owners feeling unsure if they are running a sustainable business.
What percentage of our revenue should go towards payroll? How about fixed expenses or marketing? Of course those are all just numbers that help guide us, and they are not set on stone, but with today's podcast episode we d...

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsFinding the unasked questionOne of the most valuable assets you have as a business owner will be your ability to adapt to the circumstances around you and, as much as possible, try to stay ahead of things. Now, the issue becomes how do we stay ahead of things, especially when we are so busy with the day to day and don’t have the time to stop, think, and analyze? It can be very easy for any of us to get caught in that scenario, especially if we are seeing patients for a full schedule and then running the business on top of...

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsShould you post how much you charge on your website?Last week we talked about “how to stand out from the competition”, and along with it the fact that we need to charge enough to provide the level of service that PEOPLE WANT. Because of that, today I wanted to circle back around to something I truly enjoy helping canine rehab therapists with: figuring out how to raise their rates and charge what they are worth!
There is often a debate in online forums and Facebook groups as to if we should post how much we charge on our website. That is a very good question, and I un...

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsThe 2-Minute DrillEarlier this month a lot of us watched the Super Bowl. It doesn’t matter if you watched because you love football, if you watched for the commercials, or to watch the halftime show with Usher, but if you watched the game then you saw Kansas City’s quarterback, Patrick Mahones, march his team down the field on a drive at the end of regulation where they had to at least score a field goal to send it to overtime.
That type of drive in football is called the 2-minute drill because the offense is trying to move...

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsDiagnosing the symptoms within your businessDuring a recent coaching call with our Incubator Mastermind students I recently discussed my formula for embracing growth and changes within our business, regardless if we are just starting or have a team working with us.

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsLeveraging Google for your Canine Rehab businessBack when I opened TheK9PT in 2017 I faced 3 main challenges: skepticism from the local veterinary community, hesitation with them referring to me because there was already a well-established rehab clinic around, and lack of understanding on their end on how I would be able to do do rehab without an underwater treadmill since at that point in time I was starting a mobile canine rehab business. That led me towards learning more and more about marketing, and in particular the concept of direct-to-consumer marketing.
With direct-to-consumer marketing we are able to bypass the gatekeepers (in my...

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsWhy potential clients say 'no' to youToday’s episode is “Why potential clients say no to us”. It’s usually due to a lack of trust. Selling is a transfer of four main things: trust, energy, confidence and clarity. All of these things need to come together for you to get better at selling. The issue is that thoughts of distrust that people might have towards us create emotional feelings which then turns into doubt. The feeling of doubt is what makes pet parents say no to you. What we need to keep in mind though, is if they’re really saying no to us. They aren’...

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapists4 Key Traits of a Successful EntrepreneurOne of the main reasons that people go into physical therapy is because of job security. There are plenty of physical therapy jobs around. Of course when it comes to animal rehab, it is different. A lot of us had to forge our own ways. In my case, it was because the job that I was at didn’t really value physical therapy. I felt underappreciated and like there were no opportunities around me so I had to go off on my own.
Now, a lot of us are business owners and entrepreneurs even though it’s not...

For example, let’s talk about marketing. This is the time of the year where we all think about the goals that we want for this year, often in terms of numbers like revenue or number of sessions, and canine rehab therapists often think that now is the time to focus on marketing to generate more business.
