With that, I wanted to touch on the top 5 lessons that I have learned in 2022 being a business owner in canine rehabilitation. As you know, I have a program called TheK9PT Academy where I help other business owners progress their clinic, open their own business and more. In addition to that, I also am co-faculty for the Canine Rehab Institute’s business course and registration for the next business program is now open! The great thing is that this course is...2022-12-2929 min
The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsSelling in Canine RehabilitationFrom the very first episode, I’ve talked a lot about 2 main terms that we are familiar with: marketing and selling. Now, I don’t think any of us would argue that there is marketing involved in canine rehabilitation, even if you rely solely on word-of-mouth or veterinary referrals, there will be some form of marketing strategy associated with it. Now, I have had more than one person ask me about selling in canine rehabilitation. No one would argue the need to market our services, but yet some folks fail to understand the importance of selling our services as well...2022-12-2228 min
The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsBusiness Lessons from the FIFA World CupIt doesn’t matter if you call it soccer or football, I bet you have at least heard about the FIFA World Cup that is taking place in Qatar right now. As a Brazilian, soccer is like a religion to me and the World Cup is a life changing event which only happens once every four years. In my clinic, the matches were always on the TV throughout it. Not only did I get to enjoy the games with pet parent’s, it was also an opportunity to connect on a deeper level and draw some important business lessons from...2022-12-1527 min
The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsGrowth Valleys Within Your BusinessWe talk a lot about growth on our podcast, not just personal but business growth as well. Hopefully by now you understand that our business will only grow as much as we grow as individuals along this journey of business ownership. Today I wanted to talk about the concept of growth valleys within our business. Growth is not made in a linear fashion.
There are peaks and valleys throughout the process. As long as you’re always growing, there is progress. One of the best things that you can do is recognize that there will always be up...2022-12-0827 min
The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsSequential vs Continuous ThinkingWhat are you doing right now as we finish the year to make 2023 a different and better year? How many of you have blocked off time on your schedule this month to plan for 2023? To plan for Q1 2023? If you want things to change then we also need to plan for those changes… if you are 100% satisfied with how 2022 has gone then by all means just rinse and repeat, and don’t feel the need to look for something to scratch your itch… meaning, be careful with the new object syndrome.
I have realized that as business owners...2022-12-0127 min
The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsShould I hire a clinician or administrative staff first?On this Thanksgiving day, I am very thankful today for all of you listening to this Podcast. Something that I have not yet talked about is who should we hire first as an entrepreneur in the animal rehab field? First, we need to understand the pros and cons of each option. Then we have to understand how to risk mitigate against the cons.
Most of us tend to want to hire another clinician or therapist first so that we can build up a caseload and offload it to someone else. Without the support staff, it is much...2022-11-2427 min
The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsThe top 5 reasons why Canine Rehab Therapists stunt their growthI’m so amped up to talk about the top 5 reasons why canine rehab therapists stunt their growth. This list comes from years of helping out people but, most importantly, teaching at CRI, talking to folks, and paying attention to what people are doing (or not doing).
For anyone who has been following or working with me for a while this will hopefully not come as a major surprise, but as I preach, it is always good to revisit topics because you likely have changed and grown since you have heard me say it before. Sometimes, after a...2022-11-1728 min
The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsHow to calculate how much you need to charge?Today we’re going to be talking about how much you need to be charging for your services and sessions. Once we review our numbers for this year, especially going into a new year soon, we often realize that maybe we need to raise our fees as we are not charging enough, especially the way that the economy is right now with an economic downturn or even a recession.
So how do you calculate how much you should be charging? Price is just a product of emotion. It’s not our price that is in question, but actu...2022-11-1021 min

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsTime vs Choice ManagementToday we’ll be talking about time management versus choice management. I discussed this topic this weekend with my Incubator program students during our retreat.
One of the biggest struggles I have had since my daughter was born has been with time management. It’s never been something that I’ve been great at, but I used to have more available time in the day which allowed me to compensate for a less than perfect time management habit. I’ve had to become more direct and purposeful with my time since she was born, leading towards choice vs time...2022-10-2715 min
The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsWinning quarters vs winning the gameWhen we get close to the end of the year, we think and reflect on our goals to see if we are inching towards where we want to be. The best analogy is how it works during the game of football, which is played in four quarters, much like we have four quarters in a year. Teams can win, make a comeback, or lose if they don’t keep up the momentum throughout the quarters, and that is how we need to look into our year as a business owner.
How can we strategically plan for the 2nd...2022-10-2022 min
The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsThe different phases of business ownership and how they affect our profit marginsToday’s episode is about the different phases of business and how this affects our outlooks and goals for the business for the quarter, year and longer. People want to grow their business but they still want to be profitable at the same time. That can’t always be the case depending on what phase we’re at in the business.
So what are the four different phases of the business and how does the profitability figure into that? The four phases are revenue, profit, scale/growth and stability. We all start with the thought process of needin...2022-10-1325 min

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsHow to go from surviving to thriving as a canine rehab business ownerToday we’re going to talk about how to go from just surviving to actually thriving as a canine rehab business owner. What I've learned over time is that our business will only grow as far as we grow as a person and as a leader. The moment that we hit a plateau with our personal growth, we will hit a plateau in our business as well. That does not mean that we need to constantly have a mindset around growing. I’ve had to learn that sometimes it's ok to slow down. It's ok to take time to re e...2022-09-2922 min

Here is the thing, if it was as easy as simply setting a goal and getting it done then we all would have done it already. But what holds us back from going for what we want?

Questions to ask yourself, are you collecting their phone number so you can call them back? Or are you collecting their email to enter into an email sequence that automatically nurtures them? Do you have a staff member whose primary job is to nurture those leads and build that relationship? I can tell you with confidence that is the MOST...2022-09-1718 min

This is a question that I come across often. Turning clients into lifelong customers can have an array of benefits not only for you but for the customer as well as they can get the support that they need throughout their dog’s lifetime.

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsTop 5 reasons why we struggle raising our ratesToday we will be talking about one of my favorite topics, selling. Yes, there is selling in healthcare, and we need to first start by changing our mindset around the word selling as selling is actually a good thing. Clinically, you can be the best canine rehab therapist in your city, but what good are your clinical skills if people are seeing you for 2-3 sessions and falling off because they feel better? What good are your clinical skills if folks are taking their pets to see you for an evaluation and that’s it? Your goal should not be...2022-09-0127 min
The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsTop Marketing Mistake and How to Fix ItWhat has been the top mistake I have seen canine rehab therapists make when it comes to marketing and, most importantly, what can you do today to address that mistake? One could argue that the top mistake is not doing any marketing at all and simply relying on word-of-mouth referrals to grow our business, and they wouldn’t necessarily be wrong.
However, the biggest challenge I have seen with word-of-mouth referrals is the fact that pet owners will then want to work with you in particular and no one else, even though you are growing and adding othe...2022-08-2513 min

We often make the mistake of assuming that everyone who is contacting our clinic and/or inquiring about our services is coming to us with a similar perspective and understanding of what canine rehabilitation entails and how it can help them; however, that is not always the case. We discuss the three different types of leads (cold, warm, and hot) along with the downsides to focusing solely on hot leads (veterinary referrals) which I...2022-08-1119 min
The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapistsThe Future of MarketingIn this episode we discuss the future of marketing in Canine Rehabilitation as well as discussing what “real marketing” is. We’ll look at how canine rehabilitation clinics have dealt with marketing in the past because it’s important to understand where we’re coming from, so we know where we should be heading towards. In the past, clinics were very successful building up a network of veterinary referrals and relying on word-of-mouth referrals, but is that still the best way to build your business? Today, there are more standalone rehabilitation clinics, and most large specialty centers also have their own...2022-08-0411 min
