Treat Your Business

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'In this episode, Katie introduces the third key foundation for building a clinic business that creates more time, more income, and more freedom: the “how”. She explains why a pay as you go model can leave your income unpredictable and your diary vulnerable to cancellations, and how creating programmes and packages can help your patients get better results while giving you a more resilient business model. Katie breaks down how to think in terms of state A to state B transformation, identify the roadblocks that get in the way of recovery, and create better conditions for delivery so you are not overpromising, undercharging, and doing unpaid work behind the scenes.Main Topics Covered:Why most clinic owners default to a single session business model, and the hidden cost of relying on pay as you go income.The fear of looking salesy, and why professionalism means recommending what your patients genuinely need.Why you cannot predict marketing, capacity, or revenue when you do not know what is coming in week to week.How churn rate is created when patients drop off before they get results, often because life gets in the way.How to solve problems creatively by building support beyond face to face sessions, based on real patient roadblocks.The state A to state B transformation, and why people buy themselves out of a problem and into a solution.How programmes improve retention, conversion, and revenue by creating commitment and consistency.Why better conditions for delivery lead to better outcomes, stronger boundaries, and a better reputation.How to price your programmes so you are paid for the full scope of support you provide, not just the time in the room.A preview of what is coming next, including mapping roadblocks, pricing, naming, marketing, delivery, and SOPs for your programmes.Thank you for tuning into this episode. If you want more consistent income and more freedom without sacrificing patient outcomes, start by looking at the model you are running right now and ask yourself one question. Is it serving you, or is it starving you?Treat Your Business podcast is proudly sponsored by Klatch: Results-driven marketing built for healthcare companies.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'In this episode of Treat Your Business, Katie is joined by Philippa and Bruno for a quarterly Coach’s Corner conversation about the real patterns they’re seeing with clinic owners right now and what actually creates lasting transformation in business.Bruno shares candidly what life and business felt like before joining Thrive, including the anxiety, overwhelm, and “winging it” that left him feeling like he was running the ship blind. Together, they unpack why so many clinic owners look for a simple checklist, why people often want to quit right before a breakthrough, and how money, stress, and fear can quietly drive decision-making without us realising.This episode is a powerful reminder that strategy matters, but the biggest growth comes when you’re willing to be coached, stay open-minded, and do the uncomfortable work that moves you towards the future version of yourself.Main Topics Covered:Why “winging it” in business creates anxiety, chaos, and a lack of directionWhat clinic owners are really looking for when they ask for “the checklist”The moment many people try to quit right before a breakthrough, and why it happensHow community and trust reduce fear of judgement and help you move fasterWhy money is often used as a socially acceptable excuse, and how to reframe it as an investmentThe “that won’t work for my business” mindset, and how curiosity changes resultsHow stress and overwhelm shut down clear thinking and keep you stuck in survival modeWhy busy work feels productive (dopamine) but doesn’t move the needleWhat makes someone truly coachable, and why trust and courage matterThe biggest return from coaching: becoming your future self and embracing fear as a signalWhat hasn’t changed at the heart of Thrive: boldness, integrity, transparency, and impactThank you for tuning into this episode. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or tempted to quit because growth feels uncomfortable, let this be your reminder: you don’t need more information, you need the right support, the right focus, and the willingness to take the next brave step forward.Treat Your Business podcast is proudly sponsored by Klatch: Results-driven marketing built for healthcare companies.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'In this episode, Katie breaks down the second key foundation for building a clinic business that creates more time, more income, and more freedom: the “who”. She explains why marketing yourself as what you do (physio, osteo, sports massage, Pilates) can cause you to miss the vast majority of people who need your help, and how getting clear on who you serve (and the real problems they’re trying to solve) makes your marketing resonate and convert.Main Topics Covered:Why marketing “what you do” can lose up to 95% of opportunities to help potential patients. The difference between being everything to everybody vs becoming the obvious choice for the right people. Understanding what your ideal patients are actually thinking before they ever search for a practitioner Why people care more about outcomes than treatment modalities at the first touchpoint How to “look through the letterbox” into your patient’s life and speak to their real-world worries and frustrations The fear behind niching down, and why staying broad keeps your marketing invisible Whether you can have multiple ideal clients, and why each one needs a separate marketing campaign Why demographics aren’t enough, and how psychographics create stronger, more impactful messaging How to start identifying who you most want to work with based on the clients that energise you A preview of next week’s episode: the “how” and solving problems creatively to create consistent incomeThank you for tuning into this episode. If you’re ready to attract the right patients and stand out in a crowded industry, start by getting clear on who you help best, and make sure your marketing speaks to their problems, not your job title.Treat Your Business podcast is proudly sponsored by Klatch: Results-driven marketing built for healthcare companies.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'Season 6: Clinic Marketing That WorksWelcomeWelcome back to the Treat Your Business podcast. Thank you for being here. I’m Katie Bell, and today I want to play a little game.Imagine you wake up tomorrow, pick up your phone, open Instagram and… nothing. No account. No followers. No Reels. No Stories. No content.Before you start sweating, stay with me, because this is one of the most useful marketing exercises you can do as a clinic owner.Episode SummaryIf Instagram disappeared tomorrow, would your clinic, studio, or business survive?In this episode, I’m sharing exactly what I would do if I lost Instagram overnight, and why social media is a marketing tool, not a marketing strategy.Too many clinic owners have built their entire marketing plan on a platform they do not own. Algorithms change. Reach drops. Accounts get restricted. Platforms evolve, or disappear. That is why your marketing needs foundations that you control.I walk you through my seven-part “emergency marketing plan”, including how I would use my email database, reactivate past patients, build referrals properly, double down on Google, strengthen relationships with key referrers, collect reviews consistently, and become known for something specific.I also share why I’m running my No Fluff Marketing Plan masterclass, and how it will help you stop feeling overwhelmed and start spending time on the marketing that actually creates enquiries, consultations, and bookings.Key TakeawaysSocial media is a marketing tool, not a marketing strategy.Build marketing assets you own, starting with your email database.You do not always need more followers, you need more conversations.Reactivating past patients is often faster and more effective than chasing strangers.Referrals come from a remarkable experience, not awkward asking.Reviews are the modern version of word of mouth, and they influence decisions every day.Google is where people look for answers when they are in pain.Healthcare is still relationship-based, get back into the real world with key referrers.Specialists get remembered and recommended. Generalists often get forgotten.If marketing is draining you, strip it back, focus, and build a plan that works without constant content.Resources / LinksFree training mentioned: No Fluff Marketing Plan:https://marketing.thrive-businesscoaching.com/24th-june If today is not including some marketing, it should be.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'Season 6: Clinic Marketing That WorksWelcomeWelcome back to the Treat Your Business podcast. Today I’m building on what I said last week about most clinic marketing being a complete waste of time. I want to talk about one of the biggest lies clinic owners have been sold in recent years, that the more followers you have, the more successful your business will be.Episode SummaryToday I'm calling out the follower trap and why it keeps clinic owners busy but not profitable. I explain the difference between attention and intention, share a real example from the clinic, and leave you with a 30 day challenge to focus on what actually drives bookings, profit, and time freedom.  Key TakeawaysFollowers do not equal success. Clients, profit, cash in the bank, time freedom, and a fully booked diary do.Followers are easy to measure, which is why they can become a distraction.Attention is cheap. Intention is valuable. Focus on the people actively looking for help.If you feel overwhelmed, check what you are spending time on and whether it is producing results.Referrals, reviews, and local relationships often drive more growth than posting more content.Trust is built through consistency, results, reputation, and exceptional patient experiences.AI and modern search are pushing us towards being the most trusted answer, not the loudest voice.ResourcesRegister for my free masterclass at the end of June: The No Fluff Marketing Plan for therapists and clinic and studio owners who hate social mediaIf you enjoyed this episode, have a fabulous rest of your day. And if you are about to post on social media, maybe today go and do something more useful with your time. Treat Your Business podcast is proudly sponsored by Klatch: Results-driven marketing built for healthcare companies.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'Season 6: Clinic Marketing That WorksWelcomeWelcome back to the Treat Your Business podcast. I am Katie Bell, and today I am sharing something that might ruffle a few feathers. Most clinic marketing is a complete waste of time. Not marketing itself, but the way many clinic owners are spending their precious hours.If you have ever poured time into Canva, captions, reels, and posts, only to check your phone later and see a handful of likes, this episode is for you. I am going to help you refocus on what actually drives enquiries and bookings, without dancing on social media or chasing trends.Episode SummaryIn this episode, I talk about the productivity trap that keeps clinic owners busy but not growing. Somewhere along the line, marketing has become confused with posting, and that is a problem. Patients do not pay your rent because you reached more people on Instagram. Patients pay your bills because they trust you, they can find you when they need help, and you make it easy for them to book.I share the only marketing scorecard that matters, the question you must be able to answer if Instagram disappeared tomorrow, and the fundamentals that have driven the biggest growth periods in my clinic. I also explain how we use social media as a support, not as the engine, and why stripping things back and working the path until it works is often the fastest route to better results.Key TakeawaysMarketing is not the same as posting. Activity does not equal results.The only scorecard that matters is enquiries and bookings, not reach or likes.If Instagram disappeared tomorrow, you should know exactly where your next 10 patients would come from.Build visibility where decisions are made, not just where attention lives.The fundamentals drive growth: patient experience, referrals, reviews, community relationships, trust, and being easy to recommend.Stop doing a mile wide and an inch deep of marketing. Strip it back and work the path until it works.Social media can support your campaigns, but it should not consume your time or distract you from fixing leaks in your clinic.Look at what is already working, then do more of that before starting something new.Thank you for joining me for this episode of Treat Your Business.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'Season 12: Mindset, Confidence, and GrowthWelcomeWelcome to the Treat Your Business podcast, the show for clinic owners who want real, honest advice and tried and tested ways of doing things. I’m Katie Bell, and this is the new era of bigger insights and bolder conversations to help you grow a clinic and a life you love. Let’s dive in.Episode summaryLast week, I shared two simple questions to help you reframe destructive thoughts and train your brain for growth. If you have not listened to that episode yet, go back and start there because this one will land so much better afterwards.In today’s episode, I’m continuing the roadmap to results and digging into why some people grow, earn more, create more freedom, and move on to the next big thing, while others stay stuck on the sidelines.This is about getting out of research mode and into action. It is about trying things before you deny them, being willing to experiment, and doing the work even when it feels uncomfortable. Because insight without action is worthless.Key takeaways1. Try it before you deny itYou cannot figure out how to grow from the sidelines. You have to experiment, apply what you are learning, and be willing to fail fast so you can learn faster.2. Adopt the belief that everything is figureoutableIf you do not believe you can figure things out, you will stagnate and hit a ceiling. Most problems and dreams are figureoutable, and if you truly care, you will find a way.3. Do the work, not just the learningMost people are overloaded with information. Listening, reading, and consuming content is not the same as implementing. Taking action is the only path to change.4. Stay in action, even when it is messyGrowth gets messy before it gets better. If something does not make sense right now, come back to it later, but keep moving forwards.5. Repetition is not an accident, it is how change happensRepetition is how we build neuroplasticity, rewire habits, and create lasting change. Expect to face the same issues again and again, just at different levels.6. Community accelerates resultsWhen you apply all of this alongside like minded people who have your back, you reach goals faster, with more joy, creativity, and momentum.Resources and linksEverything Is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo (book mentioned in the episode)Last week’s episode (listen first for the full context and the two mindset reframes)If you are trying to figure everything out alone right now, please hear this. It is figureoutable. Most of the time we have just overthought it, got in our own way, or let our mindset convince us it will not work.I hope you’ve enjoyed this episode, and I’ll see you back next week.Thanks for listening to the Treat Your Business podcast.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'Season 12: Mindset, Confidence, and GrowthWelcomeWelcome back to the Treat Your Business podcast. This week I’m doing something a little different with a short, sharp, high value episode you can listen to quickly, then get straight back to your busy clinical day.Episode summaryIn this episode I’m talking about why growth can feel messy, uncomfortable, and anything but linear, and why that is completely normal when you start properly working on your business. I share what I see in clinic owners who grow revenue, profit, and freedom, versus those who stay stuck, and I walk you through the first step in your roadmap to results: training your brain for growth.I cover two common destructive thoughts that shut down progress, then show you how to flip them into productive questions that help your brain find solutions. I also share a vulnerable story from Clinic Growth Live that highlights how mindset and openness to learning can change what you take from any room, training, or coaching.Key TakeawaysProgress is rarely linear. Growth can get messy when you start changing pricing, systems, team structure, and decision making.Resilience matters. Humility, courage, self compassion, patience, humour, and a willingness to experiment help you move through the hard bits instead of retreating to what feels safe.Catch the thought “I know this already.” When I believe I already know something, I disengage and stop learning.Replace it with: What can I learn from this? Ask it with genuine curiosity, again and again.Catch the thought “This won’t work for me.” That belief shuts down possibility before I even try.Replace it with: How can this work for me? Repeating this question forces me to look for adaptations, opportunities, and new connections.Hearing something before is not the same as mastering it. Knowing something intellectually is different from doing it consistently and benefiting from it.My brain filters what I notice through my beliefs and mindset, so the questions I ask determine what I see and what I act on.Resources and linksQuote referenced: Shirley Chisholm, “You don’t make progress by standing on the sidelines whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas.”Questions to practise this week:What can I learn from this?How can this work for me?If things feel messy right now, I want you to know you’re not failing, you’re in it, and it is normal. Start with the first step: train your brain for growth by asking better questions.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'Season 12: Mindset, Confidence, and GrowthWelcomeWelcome back to Treat Your Business, the show for clinic owners who want real, honest advice and tried and tested ways of doing things. I’m Katie Bell, and this is the new era of bigger insights and bolder conversations to help you grow a clinic and a life you love. Let’s dive in.Episode summaryWhat if you did not need more clients to grow? In this episode, I’m sharing why the fastest, simplest way to take your clinic to the next level is often not about adding more, but about getting 10% better at the things already happening inside your business.I talk through the compound effect of small improvements across three core areas: conversion, retention, and pricing. When you turn the dial up by just 10% in each of these, you can increase revenue and profit without spending more on marketing, hiring more staff, or chasing the next shiny strategy.This is a CEO level shift. Moving from guessing to leading, from reacting to deciding, and from being in the business to actually running it.Key takeawaysSmall improvements compound fast. A 10% lift in the right places can create a huge difference over a year.Conversion matters more than you think. If you’re converting 70% of new patients into ongoing care, improving that to 80% can increase weekly sessions without spending another pound on marketing.Retention is where profit often lives. The real profit is rarely in session one. It is in sessions 2, 3, 4, 5, and beyond, when clients stay long enough to get results.Pricing increases do not need to be scary. Even a small increase, applied consistently across your client base, adds up quickly over 12 months.Most clinics do not have a lead problem, they have a leakage problem. Money comes in, then leaks out through poor follow up, weak rebooking, and missed reactivation. Fix the leak before you pour more in at the top.Systems beat goals. If you do not have a system for tracking and improving your numbers, you will keep hitting a ceiling, no matter how hard you work.Knowing your numbers is leadership. When you understand your numbers, you can do less, make better decisions, and feel more in control.ResourcesAtomic Habits by James ClearIf this episode has been a nudge to step out of the day to day and focus on what actually moves the needle, take it. For most clinics, that 10% is the difference between stress and control, between busy and profitable, and between feeling stuck and actually growing.Thanks for listening to the Treat Your Business podcast.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'Season 12: Mindset, Confidence, and GrowthWelcomeWelcome back to the Treat Your Business podcast. I’m Katie Bell, and today I’m talking about the illusion of more. If you’ve been telling yourself you just need more money, more enquiries, more staff, or more sessions, this episode is your reminder to pause and look at what’s actually happening inside your clinic.Episode SummaryMost clinic owners assume they have a growth problem, but often the real issue is hidden in the numbers. It might be conversion, retention, pricing, capacity, utilisation, or the way your diary is structured.In this quick fire episode, I share why guessing is costing you control, and the five numbers I believe every clinic owner needs to know. I also tell you how getting clear on my own numbers from month one helped me build a consistently profitable clinic, pay myself every month, and make decisions with confidence.Key TakeawaysIf you do not know your numbers, you are always guessing.“More” can be a distraction from fixing what is actually broken.A clinic can feel busy and still leak revenue through gaps, churn, poor conversion, or inefficient diary management.Your business is talking to you all the time, and it speaks through numbers.Clarity creates control. Once you see the truth in the data, you cannot unsee it.The five numbers I want every clinic owner to knowHow many enquiries you get each weekYour conversion rate from enquiry to new patient booking, and from new patient to ongoing treatmentYour average visits per clientYour average revenue per sessionYour utilisation, how full your diary actually is and how effectively hours turn into revenueIf you are listening and thinking, I do not really know those numbers and I am guessing, then take this as your sign to pull yourself out of the weeds and get a grip on what is actually going on in your clinic.You deserve a clinic that works well for you, and you deserve to make a fantastic living from the business you are building. That starts with knowing your numbers.Thanks for listening, and I’ll see you again next week.Treat Your Business podcast is proudly sponsored by Klatch: Results-driven marketing built for healthcare companies.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'Season 2: Clinic Leadership, Habits, and CEO ThinkingWelcomeWelcome back to the Treat Your Business podcast. This is a short, sharp episode, because you do not always need 20 or 30 minutes of me talking to get a powerful takeaway. Sometimes you just need the right questions.Episode summaryI have just come off the back of an annual strategy session with my leadership team, and the outcome I cared about most was not the numbers, the plan, or the targets. It was clarity. Absolute clarity on the vision for the next 12 months and what we stand for as a team.In this episode, I talk about how a lack of clarity does not just show up as confusion. It shows up as hesitation, inconsistency, lack of ownership, and your team passing problems back to you so everything runs through you. Clarity is not your team’s responsibility, it is yours. Your job is to create the vision, communicate it, repeat it, embed it, and live it in every conversation and decision.I leave you with a set of questions to help you check whether your team truly understands where the business is going, what you stand for, and how their role connects to the bigger picture.Key takeawaysClarity is the real outcome that creates momentum, not just plans and targets.If I asked your team what the next 12 months looks like, would they all say the same thing? If not, the vision is not clear enough.Lack of clarity often looks like hesitation, inconsistency, and people not stepping up.Clarity is my responsibility as the leader. I need to communicate it, repeat it, and embed it consistently.Values are not useful if they are just words on a wall. They need to be defined in behaviours and lived day to day.If my team cannot connect their day-to-day work to where the business is going, they will default to “just doing my job” and waiting to be told.I do not need to hold all the “how” myself. A clear vision allows multiple brains to contribute to making it happen.A good self check is noticing where I am saying “they need to step up”, when what is actually missing is more clarity from me.If this episode hit a nerve, that is usually where the opportunity is. If you know your business lacks clarity right now, that is probably the place to start.
