7 Traits of a Successful Business Owner

In this final 'sode of 2023, we wanted to take a look at some of the characteristics we've seen in business owners.  We've now worked with 450+ pelvic health businesses, and some patterns have definitely emerged.When we look at successful practices, here are some of the shared characteristics.  You definitely don't have to have all of these (most of us have almost none at the beginning).  Hopefully you recognize some things you're doing well and can identify others where you might need more work.Know your 'Why'.  When you're solid on the reason you started, it helps answer the difficult questions that come up in businessSelf-Awareness.  What are you good at?  What are your limitations?  How do you work best?  Knowing yourself is key to running a practice.Accept the 'Seasons'.  There will be an ebb and flow to your business.  Some months will be busy, others slow.  You'll have to put in work upfront.   By accepting the seasons we reduce panic and make sure we're still working towards our goals.Growth Mindset.  The belief that you can learn or figure out just about anything - after all, you're smart, dedicated and have a major incentive to learn!Hard Work.  At the end of the day, there's no substitute for hard work.  No magic formula or 'get rich quick' scheme when it comes to business.Radical Responsibility.  Everything that happens in the business - positive or negative - is your fault.  The sooner we accept that power and responsibility, the sooner we can get to work.Clarity and Focus.  Do you know where you need to be focusing, or are you wasting time by trying a bunch of different things and getting nowhere?We hope you've had an incredible 2023 and wishing you all the best in 2024!Accelerator Program Now Open!If you're looking to take your pelvic rehab business to the next level in 2024, a new cohort of the Pelvic Business Accelerator starts in January of 2024.  Registration opens next week!  Registration is now open - check it out here:  www.pelvicptrising.com/acceleratorAbout UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.   PelvicSanity Physical Therapy together in 2016.Together, Jesse and Nicole have helped 400+ pelvic practices start and grow through the Pelvic PT Rising Business Programs (www.pelvicptrising.com/business) to build a practice that works for them!Get in Touch!Learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com, follow Nicole @nicolecozeandpt (www.instagram.com/nicolecozeandpt) or reach out via email ([email protected]).Check out our Clinical Courses, Business Resources and learn more about us at Pelvic PT Rising...Let's Continue to Rise!
