Are you tired of feeling like life is constantly happening to you instead of you taking control of it yourself? 🔄 As a wellness practice owner, it's easy to let the tail wag the dog, causing you to lose sight of your business priorities and effectively manage your time. It happens to all of us. 💭   Just recently, I realized that I’d let an important priority sit on the back burner for 5 years. FIVE whole years!! 😳And after attending a recent training session, I was reminded about how important it is to identify my top 3 priorities, be intentional about getting them done through strategic time management strategies, and how to stay focused until they’re done.    And that’s exactly what I’m sharing with you today.   Once you get crystal clear about the 3 tasks or priorities that are most important right now - integrating new software at work, scheduling regular date nights, writing your nurture emails, etc. - it’s sooooo much easier to make progress and not get distracted. Because when the distractions start dictating how you run your business (aka the tail wagging the dog), you won’t make much progress.    This episode is focused on the practical ways you can identify your core priorities in your wellness practice so that you can ensure they come to life. 🌱   If you're ready to stop letting life happen to you and start making things happen for yourself and your practice, don't miss this episode.

Are you tired of the same old "professional" persona that you feel like you have to maintain with your patients? Do you ever wish you could just be yourself and connect with your patients on a deeper level? Well, get ready to explore how being vulnerable with your patients can actually help you build stronger relationships and grow your practice! 👀   In this episode, I’m sharing 5 strategies you can use to practice vulnerability right away. It may not come easily to you, which is totally okay! But when implemented at the right time, it can completely transform your relationship with a patient. 😲   I’ll discuss everything from the benefits of sharing personal stories with your patients (with my own embarrassing example added in 💩), to the importance of admitting when you need some outside help.    Here’s the deal - vulnerability doesn't mean oversharing or being unprofessional. It's about being authentically human, and showing your patients you're just like them. When you're willing to be vulnerable with your patients, it can create a sense of connection and empathy that's hard to achieve any other way. 💫   So, be sure to give this episode a listen to discover the power of vulnerability and how it can help you grow your practice and connect with your patients on a deeper level! 👏👏   Gold Nuggets  (1:53) Why being vulnerable creates a little window. 🪟 (3:47) Building trust is the key. 💖 (6:33) Saying “sorry” will take you soooo far. 👏 (7:22) A messy personal story. 💩 (13:11) My best advice for handling mistakes. 🙊   Links Mentioned In This Episode Join the Clinical Mastery group on Facebook!

As our own bosses, we tend to get in our own way more than anyone else. 🚧   We get lazy, take shortcuts, and eventually land in the world of reduced productivity and toxic habits that aren’t good for anyone, especially for the growth of your practice.   From overthinking to self-doubt to persistent perfectionism, we expect a lot of ourselves and often get stuck in a vicious cycle of limiting beliefs such as:   🚫“I’m not tech savy...” 🚫“I don’t want to make the wrong decision...” 🚫“I don’t want the patient to be unhappy so I’ll...”   This kind of internal dialogue is especially dangerous when it comes to growing a successful wellness practice. And as a fellow practitioner and friend, I’ve been there too. But it’s high time we get out of the negativity ditch and reprogram those toxic habits so we can start making progress even faster! 🚀   As they say, old habits die hard, and it’s so true. It doesn’t take long before the old familiarity begins to creep back in and derail your progress. That’s why we’re tackling the twists and turns of forming new habits to rewire your brain.   I’m sharing some real-life examples from my own experiences and providing tactical strategies to help you get rid of those toxic habits and create the wellness practice of your dreams! 💫   Gold Nuggets  (2:02) The most painful part of this whole exercise. 💢 (3:23) Where people pleasing ALWAYS goes wrong. 💔 (4:51) What does the voice in your head sound like? 🗯 (9:12) Resentment in real life. 😣 (11:06) Break out of your paralysis with one question. ☝   Links Mentioned In This Episode Share Your “Ah-Ha” with Ronda via Instagram or Email  Get helpful business strategies sent straight to your inbox.

Branding a strong brand is all about managing the perception of your practice in the eyes of your target audience. 📣📣   Yes, you need to be a great clinician and provide exceptional results for your patients, but to really build a recognizable brand, you’ll need more than just a visually appealing logo or a snappy tagline. 💢   Branding is the process of creating and managing the perception of your business in the minds of your target audience.   Reputation, on the other hand, is how people talk about your business. It’s influenced by factors such as the quality of your service and overall business practices. So how do you build a great brand - and an amazing reputation?    That’s exactly what I’m talking about on this episode of the Clinical Entrepreneur!   We’ll cover the importance of managing how people speak about your business but I’ll also talk about 10 things that will break your brand AND 10 ways you can BUILD your brand!   You ready? 💜   Listen in for all the great nuggets on business growth, reputation and branding (without worrying about your logo…) on today’s show.

Boy oh boy, do I have an episode for you!   I was a little nervous to record this one, and I may even lose some followers over it. But that’s OKAY. I’ve always been one to share my honest opinions & tell it how it is. And if you disagree with me, that’s perfectly okay. There’s always room for differing opinions in this community!  🙌   But, here’s the deal…   The functional medicine community needs a wake-up call. Too many practitioners are falling into the trap of thinking about it like western medicine, over-prescribing, and losing trust in the human body’s ability to heal without needing expensive interventions.    There’s a ton to unpack here, but these are the tough conversations that allow us to hold one another accountable & grow as clinicians.    And before I scare you off…I’m not saying you should abandon Functional Medicine altogether….  I’m merely offering some food for thought that might help us get refocused and move back toward our roots as a wellness community where the western medical model is secondary. Just sayin….   So, if you’re up for a unique conversation, press “play” and, let’s get to it!. 🔥   Gold Nuggets (2:02) My REAL Problem With Functional Medicine 😮 (7:15) Functional Medicine Should Focus on THIS 🎯 (11:18) The Ultimate GOAL for Every Practitioner 💯 (14:42) My Thoughts On Functional Lab Testing 💊 (16:11) Assess These Things FIRST 🧘 (22:14) Find YOUR Sweet Spot in Functional Medicine 🍭   Links Mentioned In This Episode Order high-quality, whole food-based nutritional supplements from Standard Process!  Explore herbal therapy with MediHerb!  Send me a DM with your functional medicine opinion via Instagram and Facebook!

Today on the Clinical Entrepreneur Podcast, we’re talking all about difficult patients! You know the ones…maybe they’re driving you nuts by sending long emails or blowing up your phone with multiple text messages after you’ve drawn a clear boundary. Or maybe there’s something about their personality that is just driving you nuts - seriously…it happens to all of us.    As heart-based practitioners, we often feel like we should make ourselves available to anyone and everyone. But the truth is, by letting certain people go, you create more space for the people who are truly meant for YOU.    No matter what the cause, often the most loving thing you can do is to send them on their merry way. Because continuing forward when there’s tension in the relationship isn’t serving either one of you, and will undoubtedly drain your energy.    Butttt, turning people away is *not* easy, which is why we’re diving into some warning signs to watch for, and simple strategies to guide difficult (but necessary) conversations. Plus, how to screen for better-fit patients from the very beginning.    It’s time to level up your practice, conserve your energy & make space for your perfect-fit patients.    We’ve got this Friend! 💪   Gold Nuggets (2:00) 12 Clues a Patient Isn’t The Right Fit 🙅🏻‍♀️ (11:50) Prevent Conflict With THIS Key Document 📄 (13:33) How to Talk With a Patient Who’s Not a Great Fit 🤝🏼 (15:30) Set Yourself Apart With This Small Act ✍️ (16:17) Flush Out Problems EARLY With This Questionnaire ✔️   Links Mentioned In This Episode Follow Ronda on Social Media! @drrondanelson on both Instagram and Facebook!

Today, I’m busting one of the biggest myths there is around content & social media.   It's the idea that you need to create *BRAND NEW* content over, and over, and over, and over again.   You don’t need to spend tons of time coming up with new ideas to keep your social media feed fresh, only to have it slip away into social oblivion just a few days (or even hours) later. 🙅‍♀️🎪 And that doesn’t even count the time it would take writing weekly emails or an SEO-rich blog once in a while!   That’s why I’m sharing my #1 best-kept secret when it comes to staying visible and looking like you’re the practitioner who shows up everywhere online → how to repurpose a single piece of content and turn it into GOLD.   Content repurposing is the art of taking *one* piece of content and squeezing out every last drop of info in order to produce a ton of share-worthy content that will help grow your business.   And today, I’m giving you 10+ ways to put this new strategy into action. I’ll walk you through exactly how to create your first piece of content from scratch, and then loads of creative ways to repurpose it.   So, press “play”, and let’s get to it!   Gold Nuggets (3:00) WHY Repurposing Content WORKS 🤔 (4:10) Start with THIS Type of Content 📽️ (10:20) 12 Ways to Repurpose ONE Piece of Content 🔥 (17:40) Have You Tried This Trending Type of Post Yet? 🎠 (22:20) Creative (+affordable) Ways to Get Some Extra Help 🧑‍💻   Links Mentioned In This Episode Find freelance content creation and editing help on Upwork and Fiverr Create professional-looking videos with iMovie Save time and transcribe your videos with Descript!

Ahh…social media 📲   It’s not usually a favorite topic among health practitioners, because quite frankly it can be the last thing on a very long list of “to-do’s” most days. And if I’m being honest, I find myself grumbling about it sometimes too. 💁‍♀️   BUT it’s also helped me MASSIVELY grow my practice and connect with people just like you!   So, what’s the trick to making social media work for you as a busy practitioner?    Simple → let your hair down, drop the “professional act” & start sharing about your life!   People want to know about YOU. They want to know what car you drive, what your kitchen looks like, and what kind of laundry soap you use (yes, it’s true, show them your non-toxic laundry soap!).    Buttt there are some rules of engagement about just *how* personal you should get (at least in my opinion). So press “play” to hear all my juicy thoughts, including:  *How much* of your personal life to share Which topics to avoid at all costs  Fun and easy ways to create “teachable moments”  How to bring people behind-the-scenes using “stories” What to do if you think your life is “too boring for social media”    So, whatcha waiting for?  Press “play” and let’s GO.   Gold Nuggets (4:07) Why people follow health practitioners on social media in the first place 📲 (5:50) How you can use social media to connect with more patients, plus a great example using chickens (yes chickens) 🐔 (11:05) The topics to avoid at all costs - think you can guess?? 🙅🏻‍♀️ (12:23) Why it makes so much sense to drop the “professional act” 😉 (16:06) My own biggest fear about social media, and how I got over it 😨    Links Mentioned In This Episode Join the community for tips & strategies to grow a highly profitable wellness practice!  Watch this episode.   Get Today’s Show Notes To get access to today’s show notes and connect with Ronda, visit RondaNelson.com/133   Rate, Review and Subscribe If you enjoyed today’s episode, hit the subscribe button so future episodes are automatically downloaded to your device!   We’d love it if you left an honest review.
