Today's episode is all about leadership.  I don't know if any of you remember the show Lost, but my wife and I lived in Hawaii during the filming of the last season and it was a show we really got into.  I want to discuss this quote from an episode of Lost and it goes like this; "Everyone wants me to be a leader, until I make a decision they don't like".  This quote is so spot on when it comes to leadership and it applies to so many different scenarios.  Enjoy!

Today's topic is all about churn.  Churn rate, in its broadest sense, is a measure of the number of individuals or items moving out of a collective group over a specific period. It is one of two primary factors that determine the steady-state level of customers a business will support.  Track your numbers, know your churn rate, and stay on top of people so that you keep the people that you're working with.

These three core beliefs that I am going to go over today are not the only ways to be successful in a cash practice, but they are certainly the three that we see across the board having the most success.  We've directly helped over 500 cash practices grow their businesses, so we have a lot of data to back this up.  Enjoy!

The book The Talent Code, is a book I read about 7 years ago and it is a book I picked up when I was working on being a better communicator.  I re-read this book recently and it is absolutely worth reading.  The book is about acquiring skills in a more efficient manner to help with skill development in whatever you're doing.  In this episode, I go over how I think doing these things will help you grow as a professional.

This week, I am discussing a measurable goal that Yves, Jerred, and myself came up with for where we want to take our business and how this is going to help clinicians in the PT industry.  In the short term, we want to help clients that we work with bring in 100 million dollars a year.  In the long term, we want to get that to 1 billion dollars.  I explain why this is important to us and how we are going to get there.  Enjoy!

There are many stages of business that you will experience and something I want you to think about is what stage you are in.  If you are in the planning stage, I want to help you get out of that stage and move on to starting your business.  In business, you need to be aware of when you have tapped out your skill-sets and when you need to begin to outsource these skills in order to grow.

Which platform is better for marketing dollars: Instagram ads or Google ads?  My response to this is it depends.  When you're looking at marketing, you should look at it like an investment instead of a cost.  All advertising platforms that I have tried work.  Once you understand how to advertise, you can have success with these platforms as well.

In this episode, I highly recommend you grab a pen and some paper, because we are taking a deep dive into investing.  Investing is more than just putting your money somewhere and hoping it makes you rich.  It is just understanding some basic financial principles, how money works, how to leverage debt properly, what kind of debt is good, what kind of debt is bad, and how to look at some basic numbers.  We will get into much more of this on this episode!  Enjoy.
