Ep 159 (UNCUT) - Mum Guilt & Decision Making with Carly O'Donoghue

Carly O'Donoghue is the owner of Stepping Out Podiatry on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. In this episode, Carly shares the pain, guilt, and decision-making process in wanting to be both a successful business owner and a good mother. 

Carly openly shares what it's like to go through a four to five year IVF program and try to run and podiatry business and treat patients, all the while being asked by well-meaning patients, "when are you going to have children"?

We also discuss:

• The benefits of good communication skills
• Learning to talk to patients
• Just do your job; that’s all you need to do

"Manners don’t cost you anything. Saying please, thank you and sorry, with a smile doesn’t cost you anything. So whether you’re poor or rich, it doesn’t matter".

• Why women are strong yet have so much self-doubt
• Go through IVF and miscarriage
• The tough decision on going back to work
• Thinking about what others were going to say and being judged by others
• Balancing work and family
• MUM GUILT
• Deciding if you need to get a locum or hire someone full-time. It would be best if you thought about your end goal. 

Get Off the Dance Floor & Get On the Balcony

When you're on the dance floor, you cannot see anything but other dancers; however, you can see exactly where everyone is positioned with each other if you get on the balcony and look down. Your business is the same. 

One day a week is not enough time to run your business if you have multiple employees. Day one is used for planning, and days two and three is for implementation. 

Leadership

Leadership is a different skill set that must be learned, and there are no shortcuts or secrets; it just takes time. 

Final Tip

Be self-aware. It’s not fair to compare yourself to others that have been qualified much longer. 

Be realistic about where you are now and where you need to be in the future. Only compare yourself to the progression to where you were last year.

158: Under-Promise & Over-Deliver with Tyson Franklin

One of the best habits you can develop in your podiatry business, which applies to both the business owner and ALL TEAM MEMBERS, is to Under Promise and Over Deliver.

Too often, though, Podiatrists do the exact opposite.

154 - (Part 1) Become An Employer of Choice with Sam Harrop

Most podiatrists understand the fundamental marketing concepts needed to attract a consistent flow of new patients to their podiatry businesses. Still, when it comes to marketing their business to attract new talent and team members, they often fall short.

  • Do you believe it
• Why using words such as Innovative, Friendly, Family Business in your job ads are no good.

153 - Audio Marketing for Podiatrists with Tyson Franklin

If you haven’t considered using audio as part of your marketing strategy, now is the perfect time to get started while still being underutilised by most podiatry professionals.

The purpose of my Audio Marketing workshops is to show podiatrists how to use audio for marketing in their podiatry businesses and why it will help them stand out from all the other podiatrists in their area that do not know how to use audio effectively.

When it comes to creating online content, you have three options available to you.

1. Written Content (Blogs, FAQ’s and Articles)
2. Visual (Video, photos and Infographics)
3. Audio (So many options available)

Audio marketing has been around for a long time; just think of radio; people have a favourite radio station and a favourite radio announcer. Because they've heard their voice repeatedly, they start to create an emotional connection with them.

"You can also create an emotional connection with your patients and potential patients".

152 - Dr James Kent Young, Poor & Single

Dr James Kent is a Native Texan and the owner of East Texas Foot & Ankle Centres. He believes if you want to have a successful podiatry business, the earlier you start, the better, and there are also three key ingredients: young, poor, and single. 

When you're young, you have endless energy. When you're poor, there's only one way up, and if you're single, you have time on your side and fewer commitments. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• Having good mentors.
• The benefits of being young, poor and single.
• Why not everyone should work for themselves. 
• Finding what makes you happy. 
• Goal setting. 
• Why you need to be constantly planning and adjusting things as you go. 
• No harm in lofty goals, and it's okay if you don't make it. 
• Podiatry can be positive or negative, and it’s all up to you to decide which it will be. 

"Most people that work hard also do well in business". 

Using Youtube

Dr James Kent has created a very successful Youtube channel, Tyler Foot Clinic, and he uses it to promote his podiatry business; when people ask him, James, what do you do, he can direct them to his YouTube channel. 

Currently, his channel has over 12,000 subscribers. Using YouTube allows his patients to see behind the scenes of his business, helping them get to know, like, and trust him.
