40 years and Counting - Building Business Success in Therapy Practices- What Matters Most

To be updated. 

As therapists we know the impact we have when we typically work one on one with clients. Nobly, over the course of a lifetime you can impact hundreds if not thousands of individuals.   But sometimes you want to do even more, and have a further, wider and deeper reach.        Academic and social entrepreneurship gives you that option, and today it is more important than ever.  Tomeico Faison and I...

Tomeico Faison and I talk about building in multiple revenue streams in your practice as a way to  mitigate, not increase your risk, to  strategically  grow a practice,  add value to current clients, provide learning opportunities for staff, and  help to preventpotential burnout and ultimately add value to practice at the  time of sale.  Of course. we also discuss pitfalls  to watch for including...

One of the trickiest decisions for many first time practice owners is what to call their private practice.  This podcast explores naming your entity from a legal and  marketing  perspectives, and gives practical advice and information on what to take into consideration when making this decision.  Use of a tagline in association with a name is also discussed. 

Probably the first big investment therapists make in their private practice is deciding to open a physicial location, or "brick and mortar" location. The podcast does a deep dive into all possibilites and what you need to take into consideration for each- from running a practice out of your home, subletting from someone, doing a space usage agreement, renting or buying a location.  This...

One of the first questions I often get asked is whether I think you can you grow a successful practice and have  a family.  Proof of concept is the fact that my own company grew over a 25 year period in sync with my wonderful daughter Jenna. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that both turned out to be successful in their own right.  That is not to say that there were not trials and tribulation...

I decided to do this webinar solo because I feel so opinionated on the topic, so first and foremost, I welcome all feedback especially opposing points of view. At a time where there is so much competition in the healthcare industry, ongoing encroachment on our scope of practice, blurring of the lines between professionals, at the very least I hope everyone will think carefully about how they want...

Whether you are a practice owner hiring, or a therapist being hired, it is so important to really understand what is in a contract and what should be in a contract.  By far, the 3 most misunderstood but important clauses are the non compete, non solicitation and non disclosure.  Find out what they should entail to be enforceable and how they work together to mitigate risk. I am joined by Tomeico F...

Gerry Balasta,a  fellow NYC Occupational Therapist  died of  COVID 19 90 days ago. I have known and worked with Gerry for over 20 years; he was just embarking on his latest entrepreneurial venture, Wonderful Beginnings, an EI and early childhood center that he was opening with Lea, his beloved wife, a physician. He loved life, NY and his Queens community, proud of his Filipino roots. He had many s...

The idea for this podcast came about after the murder of  George Floyd on May 25th. Right after that, many in the therapy community were rushing to put out anti racist statements, posts, pictures and comments. Somehow that felt shallow, superficial and ineffective and really did nothing for me personally to gain insight into understanding racism in this country. When Tomeico asked me to do a podca...

On this podcast, I share some thoughts on the first question most therapists have asked me in the last 90 days since COVID 19 entered our vocabularies and soon after, our day to day lives.    What do I think will happen to private practices??   While no one really knows what is going to happen, there are ways we can move forward from where we are.  I hope to impart useful and practical information...

On this podcast, I have the great pleasure of talking  with  OT Barbara Heilman and her daughter Becca Davison, the creators of UnbuckleMe,   a patented, award-winning tool that makes it more than 50% easier to unbuckle a child’s car seat. This podcast will take you on their journey which includes a feature on ABC's Shark Tank this past May that resulted in a deal with not one, but two, shark...

On this first  podcast, I give some perspective on why I decided ( albeit late in the game) to throw my hat into the podcasting ring. As a  long time private practice consultant and a physical and occupational therapist, I have amassed 40 years of experience in the industry, both as a practice owner, and for the last 20 years, as a consultant to practices around the country.   Given that I am comm...
