✨ Welcome
Hello and welcome back to episode three of Thriving Through Summer! I’m Katie Bell and this is the third of four special bonus episodes for clinic owners who want to protect their profits and, most importantly, their peace this summer. Today I’m diving into a topic that really hits a nerve, how to step away from your clinic without the wheels falling off.

🎯 Episode Summary
I’m recording this at 37 weeks pregnant, having just been for my final scan. So, trust me, I’m living what I’m teaching! I’m preparing to step away from two businesses, and as a recovering control enthusiast, I know exactly how it feels to worry the wheels will come off when you take a break. If your stomach tightens at the thought of leaving your clinic, you are not alone. This episode is all about flipping that fear and stepping into real leadership, giving your team the chance to rise and shine.

The real issue isn’t taking time off - it’s preparing for it. Most of us send a few vague messages and hope for the best, only to end up answering WhatsApp by the pool or coming back to chaos. I’ll share how to set boundaries, create simple SOPs, and step into your CEO role so you can truly switch off and trust your team.

💡 Key Takeaways

• Decide now what you will and won’t be available for
• Step up into leadership and let your team take ownership
• Create a simple summer SOP - one page, clear roles, emergency contacts, and key processes
• Delegation is about developing your team, not just dumping tasks
• Your business should run without you in the room - that’s true freedom
• Celebrate your team stepping up and make this summer a leadership lab

🎙️ The Hedgehog Concept: Finding Your Clinic’s One Big Thing

Welcome back to the Treat Your Business podcast! I’m Katie Bell, physio, clinic owner, and founder of Thrive. If you’re feeling pulled in a million directions, constantly chasing shiny objects, and struggling to focus your energy, this episode is for you.

Today, I’m diving into a powerful concept that’s changed the way I think about strategy: the Hedgehog Concept from Jim Collins’ legendary book, Good to Great. This isn’t my own strategy, but it’s one I truly believe can transform how you approach your clinic and your business.

🦔 Are You a Hedgehog or a Fox?
The fox knows many things, darting about with endless strategies, but the hedgehog knows one big thing and does it brilliantly. In business, it’s easy to be the fox - adding services, following the latest fads, and trying to be everything to everyone. But real success comes when you simplify, focus, and build your business around your one big thing.

🔍 The Three Circles of the Hedgehog Concept:

1. What are you deeply passionate about?
   What truly lights you up in clinic life? Is it helping women regain confidence post-birth, supporting chronic pain patients to reclaim their lives, or coaching your team to excellence?
2. What can you be the best in the world at?
   You can’t be the best at everything, but you can carve out a niche where you consistently deliver exceptional results.
3. What drives your economic engine?
   Which service or offer is most profitable and scalable for your clinic? Sometimes passion and skill don’t align with profit, but when all three circles overlap, that’s where your true momentum lives.

💡 My Challenge to You:
Block out 30 minutes, either for yourself or with your team, and reflect on these three circles. Draw your Venn diagram and find your centre. That’s your hedgehog. Build your business around it, refine it, and let it guide your decisions. Remember: the most successful clinic owners aren’t those doing the most, but those doing the right things for the right people in the right way.

Welcome 👋
Welcome back to the Treat Your Business Podcast! I’m Katie Bell, and this is the place where clinic owners like you learn the strategies, tools, and mindset shifts needed to transform your clinic into a thriving business—one that gives you more time, more money, and more freedom. If you’re ready to step out of overwhelm and into confidence, you’re in the right place.

Episode Summary
Back in April, the Evolve 12-week programme launched for the very first time and sold out super fast. Why? Because so many brilliant health professionals feel stuck, underpaid, and overwhelmed. Today, I’m joined by the inspiring Isi Booker, a sports physiotherapist from North Wales, who shares her journey from burnout to breakthrough. If you’re earning under £5k a month, tired of the feast-and-famine cycle, and ready for a clear, proven path to get fully booked and properly paid, Isi’s story is for you.

Key Takeaways 📝

• Mindset shifts are essential: Isi’s biggest breakthroughs came from changing her thinking around self-worth, pricing, and boundaries.
• Packages aren’t salesy: Switching from single sessions to packages made a huge difference for Isi’s clients and her own business sustainability.
• Support and community: Group coaching and peer accountability kept Isi focused, motivated, and helped her avoid burnout.
• Real results: Isi’s revenue jumped from just over £3k to £4.3k a month, all while working fewer hours and feeling less stressed.
• Boundaries and values: Saying no and getting clear on what matters most is key to building a business that works for you.

Welcome 👋

Hello my lovely people! Welcome to this juicy bonus episode of the Treat Your Business Podcast. I’m Katie Bell, and yes, I am 37 weeks pregnant, recording podcasts while preparing to go on maternity leave and exit two businesses at the same time. Because why not throw in four bonus episodes for you to enjoy over the summer? My gut told me you needed this, so here we are!

Episode Summary 🌞

This is the first episode of my brand new “Thrive Through Summer” bonus series. I created this for clinic owners and business owners who want a summer that isn’t defined by financial dips or emotional burnout. Whether you’re juggling kids, staff on holiday, or just trying to take some well-deserved time off, this series is all about flipping the script. Summer doesn’t have to mean lost momentum or money. Let’s make it a season of leverage, not survival.

Key Takeaways 🌱

• Mindset is everything. The expectation of a slow summer can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Plan for the season, don’t just react to it.
• You deserve time off. Your business should support your need for rest, not fight against it.
• Vision needs space. You cannot grow your clinic from a place of depletion. Taking intentional time off leads to creativity, better leadership, and stronger boundaries.
• Rest is revenue generating. Your worth isn’t measured by how available you are. Model healthy boundaries for your team and your clients.
• Leverage the summer slowdown. Step back from the doing and review your business design, delegate, automate, and pre-sell packages.
• Set clear boundaries. Book your own time off first, communicate plans early, and set digital boundaries for true rest.
• Less is more. Focus on the one or two things that protect your revenue and profit right now. If your business relies on you 24/7, it’s time to make a change.

Welcome to Treat Your Business

Hello and welcome to the Treat Your Business Podcast. I am Katie Bell and today we are diving into the crucial topic of initial assessments in private MSK practice. I am joined by Paul Baker from Go Clinic AI who shares how to transform your assessment process for better patient outcomes and a thriving clinic.

Episode Summary

Initial assessments are the foundation of every patient journey. When done right, they build trust, motivate patients, and secure commitment to treatment plans. The reality is that these sessions are often rushed and inconsistent. Traditional assessments can take up the whole first session, leaving little time for hands-on treatment or building rapport. This can lead to patients feeling unsure and missing out on those quick wins that boost retention and confidence.

Paul reveals how Go Clinic AI shifts history taking to before the appointment. This tool gives us more time in the clinic room, standardises excellence, and boosts diagnostic confidence. You will hear how AI-guided pre-assessment supports both experienced clinicians and new grads, helping you deliver a consistent and high-quality patient experience every time.

Key Takeaways

• The first assessment shapes the entire patient journey
• Time pressure and multitasking can affect quality and consistency
• Moving subjective history to pre-appointment creates more space for valuable care
• Standardising assessments helps deliver quick wins and build trust
• AI tools can support clinical reasoning and business growth
• Patients expect treatment in their first session so make every minute count
• Train your team to focus on relief as well as pain for better results and retention
• Assessment and treatment should flow naturally for the best outcomes
• Teach patients how to improve between sessions for lasting change
