It's OK To Be Selfish In Your Business

Pelvic PT Rising

We sometimes need to be a little more selfish as business owners. I know the word is loaded, but hear us out!
When we work as clinicians, our employer often takes care of the 'selfish' parts - setting our hours, having documentation policies, etc. But when we transition to business owners, we need to get more comfortable saying 'does this work for me?' We'll have so many more decisions to make.
It's definitely been an area of growth for us as we've gotten more experience in business. It's also easy to see in other people when we coach!
This can show up in a lot of different ways. Maybe you're...

• Treating patients on days and times that aren't great for you because you feel obligated to offer those times to patients.
• Responding to patients outside of regular hours or doing a bunch of extra work for them between appointments.
• Working with a contractor (CPA, biller, cleaner, etc.) when the business relationship isn't really working for you.
• Saying 'yes' to everything - talks, 'collabs', renting space from another practitioner - instead of saying 'not right now' or 'no' if it doesn't work for your business.
• Allowing employees to work days or times that don't really work for the practice.

So get really clear on your goals and where you want to go. Once you do, it makes many of these decisions a lot easier. A lot of practical advice and our own mistakes and examples in this 'sode - check it out!
