Being Happier as a Small Business Owner

Building an outwardly successful business doesn't mean much if we don't enjoy the journey!  In this 'sode we dive into how we can be more content and happy as business owners.What we all get wrong is thinking we'll be happier in our business when we reach the next milestone.  The ideal amount of patients.  The next big revenue number.  When we hire.  We just keep chasing the next thing.We certainly hit this in building PelvicSanity.  In 2019 we had grown from just Nicole to 5 full-time clinicians in just 3 years.  We had an admin team and a massage program.  But despite all that outward success we were still working constantly, stressing over finances, frustrated with our team, forgoing vacations and time off, and not being true to why we had started the business in the first place.After working on it ourselves and with 600+ other business owners, we've learned a few things about being happier in business.1.  Financial Confidence.  This is more than just financial success or security.  It's knowing your numbers.  Paying yourself regularly.  Setting aside money for taxes and building a buffer account for a rainy day in the business.  And being confident your business can provide for you.2.  Time Freedom.  Many of us started our own business to have more time freedom.  But find ourselves working late, miss pickups, don't take vacation or sacrifice time we'd rather spend with our families, working out, or with friends.3.  Crafting Our Job.  We want you to be able to spend more of your time doing what you love in the business and less doing things you don't enjoy.  Accelerator - January Cohort!If you're looking to grow as a business owner in 2025, you don't have to go it alone!  Our next cohort of the Business Accelerator Program is starting in January.We've taken more than 300 pelvic health businesses through this program.  They've increased revenue, grown in confidence and begun to enjoy the journey more.  Whether you're a brand-new business owner or a veteran with multiple employees, this is the program for you!  Check it out and apply at www.pelvicptrising.com/accelerator!About 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 (www.pelvicsanity.com) together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.Through Pelvic PT Rising, Nicole has created clinical courses (www.pelvicptrising.com/clinical) to help pelvic health providers gain confidence in their skills and provide frameworks to get better patient outcomes.  Together, Jesse and Nicole have helped 600+ 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!
