Wilson Lawrence is a Personal Development and Performance Coach who specialises in helping people find success without compromising their health and happiness.  This episode discusses how you can become a better communicator with your patients and why better communication leads to far greater patient compliance and long-term treatment success. We also cover: Decoding what you say so patients can understand you more clearly. Why it's essential to avoid industry language.  Developing clarity in your communication.  Identity Lock & understanding who you are. Being a podiatrist is not your identity; it's just a powerbase.  Identity lock prevents you from adaptive communication.  Final Tip Think about the outcome you want to achieve from every conversation you want to have and select your language accordingly. Competence-Competence Loop Improving communication is a success-habit, and we're all creatures of habit. The more we do something, the more competent we become, and the more competent we become, the more confident we become.   If you have any questions about this episode, one-on-one business coaching or any of my group coaching programs, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, and we can arrange a quick ZOOM call.  Youtube I record and upload my podcast interviews to my Youtube channel, Tyson E Franklin - Podiatry Business Coach.

Stacey Keating is the brain behind the online business KIDZOLES, a unique prefabricated orthotic system specifically designed for children with heel pain, but Kidzoles is more than just an orthotic; it's a total heel pain package.  Stacey is from Perth, Western Australia. During her career, she has run six successful Podiatry Businesses in Victoria and Western Australia with her husband Matt, who is also a qualified  Podiatrist. Before selling their podiatry businesses, they opened a prescription orthotic laboratory and, using her experience and background in manufacturing custom orthoses, formed the inspiration to create Kidzoles. In this episode, we discuss: Developing a heel pain program. Why she offers a money-back guarantee. Taking the Kidzoles business online.  Handling rejection. Being a role model for her children.  The benefits of providing strengthening programs with each Kidzole purchase. "In practice, I would never issue an orthotic without also giving the patient an exercise program, so I couldn't have a prefabricated orthotic company that was just dishing out orthotics and not having an exercise program behind them".

When is the right time to transition from an employee to a business owner? And more importantly, when is it the right time to sell? It's going to be different for everyone, and my guest, Dr Misty McNeill from Prairie Path Foot & Ankle Clinic in Elmhurst, Illinois, shares her unique story of transitioning through these three stages and what she learnt along the way. In this episode, we discuss: Her big WHY. With business ownership, there are tradeoffs. The enormous long-term benefits of spending less than you make.  Debt creates pressure, and pressure can make you do things that don't align with your values. Do not become a slave to debt. Creating a flexible work environment. Attracting podiatrists looking for the same lifestyle.  WHY did she sell and choose to become an employee again? "I became an owner so I could have time for myself, but now I want not to be the owner so I can have time for myself." Final Tip: Live within your means, and be clear about what serves you. If it's not a definite YES, then it's a NO.  If you have any questions about this episode, one-on-one business coaching, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, and we can arrange a quick ZOOM call to see if we're a good fit.  Youtube Please subscribe to my Youtube channel, Tyson E Franklin - Podiatry Business Coach, and click on the bell icon to inform you whenever a new video is uploaded.  Competitive Advantage If you're looking for a competitive advantage over other podiatrists in your area, please visit my EVENTS PAGE, and consider joining the Podiatry Business Owners Club on Facebook.  12-Week Podiatry Business Reboot To learn more about the next group coaching program, please visit https://www.tysonfranklin.com/Coaching/REBOOT.

This episode is not what I initially set out to produce, but I'm so glad the first 20-minutes of my conversation with Dr Misty McNeill from Prairie Path Foot & Ankle Clinic in Elmhurst, Illinois, took a deviation from the original topic.  Dr Misty McNeill was invited onto the podcast to discuss her transition from employee to business owner and then from business owner to employee. It's a great story, and we did discuss it, but only after talking about our love and learnings from Disney first. Because these two topics are vastly different, I thought they each deserved a separate episode, so this week's episode is about Learning from Disney and next week, you'll get the story behind Dr McNeill's career.  Topics Discussed: Creating raving fans Disney refers to all employees as Cast Members because everyone plays a part in the success of Disney.  Disney treats their cast members so well; it trickles down to the customers.  All trainees wear a badge that says Earning My Ears. At Misty's podiatry business, her trainees wear a badge that says Taking My First Steps.  Disney makes waiting in line fun. Disney sets standards that apply to everyone in the company, even the bosses.  Book recommendation: Be Our Guest  If you have any questions about this episode, one-on-one business coaching, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, and we can arrange a quick ZOOM call to see if we're a good fit.  Youtube Please subscribe to my Youtube channel, Tyson E Franklin - Podiatry Business Coach, and click on the bell icon to inform you whenever a new video is uploaded.  Competitive Advantage If you're looking for a competitive advantage over other podiatrists in your area, please visit my EVENTS PAGE, and consider joining the Podiatry Business Owners Club on Facebook.  12-Week Podiatry Business Reboot To learn more about the next group coaching program, please visit https://www.tysonfranklin.com/Coaching/REBOOT.

Deb Johnstone from Transformational Pathways Australia will explain WHY you need to be showing up for yourself daily and HOW it creates new business opportunities that would have otherwise be missed or overlooked.   Deb has been on the Podiatry Legends Podcast before, Episode 89: My Mindset Coach.  In this episode, we discuss: The importance of making a commitment to ourselves.  Understanding where certain behaviours lead you.  The difference between showing up and showing up fully.  The importance of being aware when you're not showing up.   Language creates your reality, and using the wrong language can lead to missed opportunities. For example; I’m too busy - means you're putting your time elsewhere.  I can’t afford it  - it means you're spending your money on something else.  Ongoing personal development and health are significant, but they are two common areas of life where people often don't show up for themselves. Showing up for yourself is about putting yourself first; it’s not about being selfish. It's about allowing time for you.  Four essential steps to show up for yourself: Being Aware - You need to have an awareness of when you’re making excuses. When you make excuses, you’re ripping yourself off. Clarity - Explore what you want in life and if it isn't clear after five minutes, start writing what you don't want. When you know what you don't want, what you want becomes more clear.  If you’re still unsure, put yourself first, create some time and space, get a journal and start writing. Take Action - The universe responds to the energy of taking action. Actions create new experiences, and that brings in more opportunities. As soon as you take the first step, it starts to create the opportunities. Future Pace Yourself - If you were at the end of your life, what would you have regretted not doing, and how will you know you’ve lived a fulfilled life? "There’s no past, there’s no future there are just never-ending moments of NOW. You can’t change the past but what can you do is take action NOW". Final Tip As the business leader, you should be showing up for yourself, not showing up for the team. You need to be your best self first before you can be the best leader for your team.  If you have any questions about this episode, one-on-one business coaching or any of my group coaching programs, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, and we can arrange a quick ZOOM call.  You can also connect with Deb Johnstone at https://www.debjohnstone.com.au/.

Jay Lewis is the owner of Elite Foot Care on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Jay gained an interest in Podiatry while playing AFL as a scholarship holder with the Sydney Swans.  Being in an elite level sports environment provided a great level of insight and interest into sports biomechanics, lower limb injuries and performance enhancement. This elite environment also introduced him to leadership at the highest level. In this episode, we discuss: The commitment needed as a New South Welshman to break into the AFL. Being around elite players and a professional environment. Accountability and team culture. Being in a competitive environment. What he learnt in Speed School. Leadership and goals setting.  Life after being cut from the team.  Taking what he learnt in an elite environment and applying it to his podiatry career.  "Although you're an individual, you never get success without the team; you can never do it all on your own. We worked for each other, and if one person is doing well and one is not, you're not doing well as a team". Final Tip What's hard now will be easy later if you put in the work and surround yourself with a good team, and your team needs to be constantly growing. Team culture is king.  If you have any questions about this episode, one-on-one business coaching or any of my group coaching programs, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, and we can arrange a quick ZOOM call.  Youtube If you're interested in watching the UNCUT video of this particular episode, you can visit my Youtube channel, Tyson E Franklin - Podiatry Business Coach and please SUBSCRIBE and click on the bell icon, so you're informed whenever a new video is released.  Competitive Advantage If you're looking for a competitive advantage over other podiatrists in your area, please visit my EVENTS PAGE, and consider joining the Podiatry Business Owners Club on Facebook.  12-Week Podiatry Business Reboot To learn more about the next group coaching program, please visit https://www.tysonfranklin.com/Coaching/REBOOT.

Being at the top of your field means different things to different people; it's not about making the most money or becoming famous.  Dr Fern Kazlow, aka Dr K., based in New York City, is a licensed clinical psychotherapist, speaker, author, business/marketing strategist and mentor to high performers. She is the number #1 Authority in Peak Performance Resistance. For over 35 years, Dr K has been helping high performer CEO’s and entrepreneurs to shatter limitations and create a life and business of purpose and freedom. In this episode, we are going to discuss:   Why do some podiatrists get frustrated with their patients and others don't  Reluctant entrepreneurs Mindset is an outcome Not feeling good enough "First, you make it up, then you believe it, and then you create your life to prove that it is true". Where are you getting your beliefs from, and are they serving you “Is what I’m thinking, feeling, believing and doing bringing me closer or further to who I want to be and what I want to create in the world”. Sabotaging Success Confirmation bias Burnout Resistance Paradox You may have heard the saying, what got you here won't get you there. But, what got you here is now going to hold you back from what you need to do and who you need to be to get to the next step. Limiting beliefs why charging too little devalues the experience for the patient. When you devalue your service, you’re devaluing the patient's benefit and limiting the effectiveness.

In my Podiatry Business Spartans membership group, we have a monthly accountability session, and at each session, we set specific goals and tasks for ourselves, with a weekly check-in. Even though I run this membership group, I still like to keep myself accountable. In July, I said that I wanted to get back into the habit of shooting videos, so I decided to do 30-videos in 30-days and upload them to my Youtube page, Tyson E Franklin - Podiatry Business Coach.  The video feedback was fantastic, so I thought I would take the ideas from each video and combine them to create an extended solo episode.  Here is a list of the videos on Youtube if you would like to check them out: 30-Day Accountability Confirmation Bias The Bandwagon Effect Do You Need Instagram?

Paul Griffin is an outside-the-box thinker and believes the skillset we possess as podiatrists is quite unique and can be utilised in many areas.  Paul graduated from Curtin University, Western Australia in 1998. He ran two podiatry businesses, each with a different clinical focus and in 2009 decided to move away from clinical podiatry to explore a diversified career. Paul currently splits his time running the education site, Bartold Clinical and is a director of Osaka Footwear Singapore.  In this episode we discuss: Results based practice. The credibility we have as podiatrists. Footwear innovations and trends. Building shoes for Osaka Footwear leading up to the Tokyo Olympics.  Podiatrists are the ultimate footwear reviewers because we get to see how the shoe actually performs with patients (the end-users). Reading the play and learning where to position yourself. Part-time podiatry is a real opportunity.  Final Tip Buy yourself some time to do other things, which means making sure you have time in your schedule to make sure it happens. If you try and add it on top of what you're already doing you’ll burn out.  Explore what your character is looking for. It could be art, business or other projects, and then make sure you position yourself in that community so you can have those worthwhile, weighted discussions. Always surround yourself with people that will bring the best out of you.

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.

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. They over promise and under deliver, which causes many long-term problems for the podiatry business.   You can find more detailed show notes at https://www.tysonfranklin.com/podcast/podiatry-legends If you have any questions about this episode, one-on-one coaching or any of my group coaching programs, please send me an email at tf@tysonfranklin.com, and we can arrange a quick ZOOM call.  Competitive Advantage If you're looking for a Competitive Advantage over other podiatrists in your area, please visit my EVENTS PAGE, and consider joining my next group coaching program, the 12-Week Podiatry Business Reboot or join the Podiatry Business Owners Club on Facebook.
