Being a physical therapist to owning your own practice requires a huge mindset shift. You are no longer a PT; you are a business owner who happens to also be a physical therapist. When you are not clear on these boundaries, it can be so easy to chain yourself within the business and burn out. In this episode of the Physical Therapy Owners Club, our very own Nathan Shields sits opposite Neil Trickett of Practice Promotions as a guest on the Practice Marketing Power Hour podcast. He discusses with Neil what it takes to achieve Profit and Freedom in your PT practice. From his personal experience, Nathan talks about his journey—from stepping away from direct patient care to achieving greater success and fulfillment in his business. That progression requires a mindset shift for every business owner and, when shifted, opens up opportunities to experience greater profits and freedom in business.(This episode is taken from a Facebook Live event in the Physical Therapy Owners Club Facebook Group).Want to talk about how we can help you with your PT business, or have a question you want to ask?

While PT owners focus on marketing to get new patients in the door there is a crucial step that can be overlooked - the conversion process from referral to the patient actually showing up for the initial eval. It is in this transition that the capability and processes of the front desk personnel can be exposed and decrease the number of new patients you could be seeing. In spite of your best marketing efforts, a weak process here could severely counteract your promotional efforts and leave you wondering why your marketing efforts aren't paying off. In this episode of the Physical Therapy Owners Club podcast, Nathan Shields and Adam Robin discuss what owners need to do in order to maximize their marketing efforts by getting every referral to show up for that first visit. Their insights bring so much value to maximizing new patient flow.
