In this one, I share with you the story of one of the most ambitious and success-hungry PTs I've ever worked with. You're about to hear from Keith Roed - of Impact PT in Sioux City, Iowa - as he presents to the room at last year’s PPM LIVE (23) in Orlando. At each event, I invite 5 clients to the stage to share with the room their best lessons on growing a business as well as what worked in marketing to help them become so successful. Keith's story is one I will never forget: He called me in 2018 after handing in his resignation at the clinic where he worked at the time with the goal of starting his own clinic. The owner told him "You will never make it work"... Keith laughed and said "Watch me"... Anyways, fast forward a few years, and Keith has a 7-figure practice that is THRIVING. There's so much to learn from this podcast... be sure to listen to it more than once! See ya' at PPM LIVE 24? Book your seats at www.ppmlive24.com (use the code "podcast" to save $100 on ANY ticket).
In this one, I share with you some amazing highlights from the keynote session James Lawrence gave at PPM LIVE in 2022. My favorite was when James spoke about it being ok to have a "five-minute pity party - but no more".The best thing about this Podcast is not just the content, but the story behind how James was the INSPIRATION for the amazing Chris Nikic - who happens to be the speaker at PPM LIVE 24.Turn me up nice and loud to listen to how it all works...
In this one I share with you LIVE footage from when we had Dan Kennedy - the worlds No.1 Marketing Expert and guy who taught me everything I know about Marketing - on my stage at PPM LIVE.One of the things I got from Dan was the ability to make myself immune from criticism. Easier said than done, especially when you're in pursuit of a successful business that means you have to say and do things that lots of people don't agree with and we live in a world where most people have nothing else to do but pull other down.Dan taught me that almost all people's opinions are irrelevant. It's one of the best SKILLS you'll ever develop. Turn us up nice and loud to hear more.PPM LIVE Oct 17-20, use coupon code at: www.ppmlive24.com to save $100 on your tickets.

In this one I share with you my own experience of meeting and working alongside Daymond John at one of the past PPM LIVE events. I got to spend an hour or so with Daymond before he went on stage to deliver a keynote, and I learned that he thinks RADICALLY different about time and how to make the most of it. I'll tell you more on the podcast. He then went on to talk about having just "27 summers left"... and what that really means to how he lives life. It blew the minds of everyone in the room. I'll let him tell you more about that one... turn us up nice and loud and enjoy the show.PPM LIVE 24 is happening October 17-20th and you can save $100 if you book your ticket at www.ppmlive24.com and use the coupon code "podcast" at the check out...

In this one I RELIVE the magic of Marcus Lemonis - the Profit - who was last years headline speaker at PPM LIVE. Marcus delivered real GOLD to the room - the type you expect from such a successful business owner - but it’s what he shared with my KIDS before his talk that impressed me most… See, Marcus gave my 7 year old the best lesson in business I could have wished for. Just before his keynote he took the time to explain to Tobias why although he’d made $300 at PPM LIVE (selling his daddy’s books to the attendees), he wasn’t able to KEEP all of that $300 as, “that’s not how business works”… Anyway, turn me up nice and loud to hear the full story, as well as listen to Marcus talk about: - Why Employees Should Come Before Customers in Business - Unlocking Confidence: Overcoming Insecurity and Delivering Tough Feedback - Creating Generational Wealth… After that, head over to PPMLIVE24.com and use the coupon code “podcast” to save $100 on a ticket to the big marketing event happening October 17-20 in Orlando.
In this one I share 5 reasons why your team may be holding you back from the growth you crave. It's easy to think that it's all their fault, and that they're not good enough, but there's also the possibility that you - or your managers - aren't doing what you should be to grow their talent and develop their skills.Turn me up nice and loud as I explore the different reasons for your frustration with your team's progress.

In this one I go deep into the mind of people stuck at a life that is what you might call "average". They get to a certain point, but they can't seem to get beyond it. Life is "OK" but it's not amazing. It's had some success, but there's also lots of frustration. In this podcast I describe a real-life situation I encountered with a PT who had quit her job but in the last 3 years hasn't been able to get her salary above that what she was making when employed. There' s probably a lot of reasons for it, but one is that she's being held back what I call "shadow weaknesses" in her life that until recognized are a permanent source of frustration that delay progress. Millions of people live with one or more such weaknesses. I wonder if you can recognize any of what is happening to this PT in your own life?? Turn me up nice and loud and listen to the show.

Welcome back to the Podcast! After a summer of travel, I have a LOT to share with you on the podcast. The first is the massive disruption that is happening over at Google which is causing a big headache for Clinic owners who have relied upon it for over a decade.
The disruption is real. The question is, is it a temporary thing? Or, is this the end of Google Ads and that once very reliable platform being as effective as it once was?
As they say, "every dog has its day"... is it time to start planning for life without Google ads?
On top of that, I share the amazing news about PPM LIVE 24 that is happening in Orlando, Oct 17-20... tune in to find out more about that and then book your seat at: www.ppmlive24.com (if you want my advice for which ticket, that will give you best value, book the "All Access" pass and come for FOUR days).
Go to: www.ppmlive24.com now and use the word "podcast" to save $100 on any ticket.
In this one, you can hear from 4 of the leading PT business owners in the USA at our recent New Jersey event. One panellist, Ida Hirst, from California, shared how she was considering closure as costs continued to rise, and insurance reimbursements tumbled. Fast forward a year in our community, and Ida is now much more profitable and has a higher percentage of cash-pay patients in her clinic.
And a special mention to Michael Chin, Jason Han, and Lauren Manna who also shared their biggest lessons on their path to very successful, and very profitable physical therapy businesses.

In this one, I welcome Gina Fick, the founder of Fick PT and the newest “Paul of Famer”, onto the podcast to discuss her incredible journey as a mom of four leaving a corporate PT job to run her own 7-figure cash pay
clinic.
It’s a crazy story and something that made us both laugh – Gina was told by the HEAD of the private practice association in Colorado that starting her own private practice would be the worst thing that she could do! AND that not accepting insurance would NEVER work – you couldn’t write it!
Thankfully, Gina didn’t listen and instead took on the
challenge to prove them wrong, and hasn’t looked back.
On the show, Gina talked about how she’s had to grow as a leader, how to manage toxic employees, and her growth since finding Paul.
For any physical therapy business owners looking to expand into bigger premises, Gina also shares the costly mistakes and important lessons from her move to a larger practice.

In this one, I welcome Michael Chin who has gone from waiting in line for progression at a corporate mill PT clinic to a 7-figure, cash-pay PT business owner in less than 4 years.
If you're a PT business owner looking to grow your private practice, Michael Chin from the Bay Area, California, is an incredible example of what's possible for you.
Like many, Michael started at a corporate PT clinic but rather than waiting for progression, he decided to start his own physical therapy business beginning with a small room in the corner of a gym.
In less than 4 years, Michael has scaled to a fully cash-pay PT private practice with 5 staff and has reached 7-figures.
Truly remarkable success, and an inspirational story.
As well as life-changing growth in his business, Michael has become a true leader by hiring, reducing his treatment hours, and is now enjoying more quality time with his family - Michael's able to do the school run, read stories to his two daughters before bed, and go on stunning vacations.
Turn us up nice and loud and enjoy the show.

In this one, I talk to another TITAN of the UK Physiotherapy Profession - Phil Evans, of Solihull.
We talk about how Phil used COVID as the turning point in his business career to move from solo practitioner to growing a real business, how he's built such a strong team that he trusts, and how he instilled a sales mentality into that team...
Plus how he was able to more than DOUBLE his prices after a rather sobering moment at one of my mastermind events when he realized he was the LOWEST priced physio in the room.
Phil has been a member of the Paul Gough Mastermind
community since 2018 and it's been amazing to see his progress. He's a great guy and deserves every ounce of his success.

In this one, I interview the amazing Will Harlow. To say that Will is one of the most successful physios I've ever had the pleasure of working with is an understatement.
Will first listened to this Podcast 8 years ago when he was a student... he had no intention of starting his own business but then everything changed when he was told by his manager in the NHS that he'd have to wait SEVEN
years for a promotion.
He came back to his podcast and the Paul Gough Mastermind community to help him grow his business, hire staff, raise his prices. Alongside that, he's grown his YouTube channel to over 750,000, sold the
rights to his book to one of the biggest publishing companies in the world, and now receives invites to speak all across the world.
Turn this one up VERY loud and listen VERY carefully. If you want proof that hard work pays off and that running a successful, profitable physio clinic in the UK IS possible, this is the podcast you need to listen to.
*Will started his journey with me at one of my London events. the next chance to do that is June 7-8-9 at PPM LIVE in London.

In this one I talk to the amazing Dave Mott who grew his physio clinic from 1 person to 16 in less than 8 years. He's moved his clinic (in Bournemouth, UK) from being wholly reliant upon him, to patients happy to see his other 8 therapists. In this one we talk about the big decisions he's made, the lessons he's learned, and why he LOST a fortune on the back of a decision that happened as a result of his success.
Plus, be sure to listen to the end to find out about Dave's GOLD Packages that are being sold in his clinic and involve more than 50 sessions. This is an amazing podcast with a GREAT business owner that is not to be missed. If you're trying to grow past just you and maybe one or two staff, this is your BLUEPRINT for doing so.
