S5 Ep 26Create a vision for your life
If you don’t know where you want to go, you’ll never get there.

S5 Ep 25Always Assume the Best
When someone cancels an appointment in your clinic, assume they just had a scheduling conflict. Don’t go into it thinking they are having buyer’s remorse. When someone no shows, don’t take it personally. Things like this happen to the best of us. Try to put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Try to look at it from their perspective. Before you respond, sit for a minute and think about the possible reasons something happened.Assume the other person has the best intentions.

S5 Ep 23Gain Leverage for your Physical Therapy Practice
The short answer is having “leverage” means I’m able to use my time to magnify my income and results as well as others income and results.If I have software and team members that save me time and generate more income and results than I can in my own, I have leverage.Stop trading Time for Money with the leverage you build. Most people are stuck here, especially physical therapists. That’s the trap schools, insurance and even society want you to fall into. Two ways to get our of the time for money trapSell online -> it must be evergreen, not just 1:1Sell 1 to many Hire other people & leverage software to do the technical work and service delivery for youYou leverage your current income to build your future investment incomeLeverage is power - power for good in your life and the lives of others.Connect with Aaron:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronLeBauerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aaronlebauer/CashPT Nation FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CashPTNation

S5 Ep 17Stop Thinking. Start Doing.
Do dope shit.Athletes have what it takes to be successful.The power of community and Masterminding - High performing team starts before building the team. My coach isn’t the smartest person in the room. It’s the people around you who are going to lift you up. Ultimately, It’s up to you to do the work “If it’s hard, it’s because you chose to make it hard”“Constraints create freedom” What are the ingredients for your ideal year, month, and week?“What’s the indulgence that you can’t live without that costs less than $20?”Leadership - 80% with the team, 20% on customers and delivery“If you are spending your time working all day and your income hasn’t gone up, you’re working on the wrong things” -> Hire people who are smarter than you at the thing that they do. Ask them, “so what do you think we should do?”Wealth is a by product of a life well livedPlaying not to lose (most people) and playing to win (entrepreneurs) are still both scarcity models.When the win is in the work, you enjoy the process along the way.When do you know if you’ve won?

S5 Ep 16Five Lessons in 50 Years
I turned 50 years old this week! Honestly, I woke up feeling the same.Age is just a numberFive years ago I set out to hit an “impossible goal” for my body and fitness.

S5 Ep 15The Freedom Formula
Freedom Formula = (Dream + Business)/TeamProblem: You've built yourself a JOBWhen you go out of town for vacation or con-ed, you're taking days off and losing revenue while also spending money so it's like double dipping into your bank account.You're busy and it feels like in order to grow, get more new patients in the door to fill someone else's schedule that you'll have to work twice as hardYou don't know how you'll fill the schedule of another therapist when you're kinda struggling to stay busy yourself.You don't want the responsibility of keeping someone else's family alive.PossibilityYou want control of your destiny and control of your life.You don't want anyone telling you what to do or telling you that you can't do it. "you dind't get into this to be told what to do all the time" - I'm in control of my own futureYou want to unlock your earning potentialyou can do that many ways, I show you how to do that with a cash practice - I'm going to show you how to do it the way I did it.

S5 Ep 13Million Dollar Habits
I was interviewed last week by my business coach Taki Moore for our monthly Black Belt Hot Seat on the strategies that took my coaching business from $35K months to over 1 million per year.I’ve spent 100’s of thousands on business coaching so I can pass along what I learn and test out to my clients for just a fraction of what I’ve invested in my business.3 Key Strategies I learned from Black Belt that really helped grow my business - and have helped 100’s of others grow theirs1) Upgrade how I run my coaching calls and client events2) 6 week game plan - having a focus, tracking my sales and sticking to the plan.3) Evergreen onboarding and kick off call, delayed 1-on-1 call with me until after the created a Game plan, agree to platinum promise and upgraded welcome sequence - helped with retentionAt the end Taki asked for 3 Lessons or pieces of advice for other business coaches1) Automate - emails, onboarding/kick off call2) Be relentless & stick to the plan3) No matter how hard it feels, keep going.4) 80% is Good Enough - perfection is a business killerIf you are a PT/OT with an online fitness, health or business coaching program, want to scale up beyond $20K/month and have room for more new clients I’d love to chat with you to see if our time, income and impact systems can help.

S5 Ep 12The Problem with Success
The Problem with Success$0-$10k/Month problems$100K/month problemsTime - problems - your too buysGood ProblemsThe Struggle - Life, business, familyEveryone is struggling with something - you just don’t know about it. Success, privilege, health, relationships, belief, confidence, shame, fear, imposter syndrome, Why don’t you want to get on social media?What you see is only part of the story.Use social media for your business, don’t let it use you.Once you start generating cash, where do you invest your money?Business Bottlenecks:Team: People lol!Systems: Do you even have replicable systems? Where are they breaking down and causing churn or erosion?Vision for where you are going, beyond what you can see or that feels comfortableTime - I know you can probably get there on your own. You’ve gotten this far. The question is, how much longer are you willing to wait and would you choose a different strategy if you knew it was guaranteed to get you there faster?You: a seasoned entrepreneur knows they are their own worst enemy and bottleneck.Good Ideas, Too many things to do - Need a Roadmap and specific Game Plan Freedom Paradox - the more choices and freedom you have the more restricted you feel - this is where routine, rules/bumpers and a consistent plan help you navigate lifeReset: - sometimes life forces your hand and you have to reset your vision, mission, goals and path.The real question is what are you going to do about your situation right now?If you have a successful business, but are not completely satisfied with your revenue, growth, free time or like me are never satisfied and would like to brainstorm some ideas and build game plan together we might be a good fit to work together in our Platinum Mastermind or as a private coaching client.I’d love to invite you to hop on a Free New Patient Strategy Call with me or someone on my team to see if we are a good fit to work together.

S5 Ep 10Your ADHD Superpower
Here’s the problem:You’ve been told you’re stupid for not remembering things.You sat in a room with no windows and told to “just study harder”.You’ve been told you’re not good enough for forgetting your homework.Struggled in school to get straight A’s? But you’re intuitive and great with your hands?ADD how it effects me and how I manage itIf you have ADHD, you are a problem solver and need to leverage that super power.My ADHD Superpowers are solving complex problems and locking on to a target and not letting go.I see solutions to problems others can’t see or can’t see for themselves.It’s what has helped me be able to charge $250/hour for physical therapy when everyone else thinks physical therapy is only worth the co-pay.It’s why I am a coach and have a coach.It’s also what gets me in trouble in personal relationships.It was really hard listening to my ex when she just wanted to process her feelings and what happened. I just wanted to solve the problem, make a decision and move on.It’s even what bugs me about my mom.She’s always trying to solve my problems instead of just listening to me.it’s why my daughter and I clash, fight or bicker as other people see it. She also wants to be heard and with every problem I see a simple solution.5 Ways I manage my ADD1) Write it down - Make Lists2) Calendar - if it doesn’t exist in my calendar it’s not happening.3) Take action on the small things and complete the tasks4) Time Timer 0- time block 5) Maintain a routine-keys/wallet always in the same place, -Wake up and workout at the same times -weekly schedule - work in the morning, calls in the afternoons6) Medicate - Take Ritalin - it keeps me from having to jungle all the balls, even in the afternoons when I’m with my kidsThe bigger the problem you can solve the more impact you will have and the more money you can make.

S5 Ep 5The Right Time to Quit
I've always said, you only loose when you quit, so don't quit.Today we're talking about when to call it quitsOr when to pivot and keep your focus on what’s workingHow do you know when to call it quits?It's when you're spending more time and energy on a project than it is giving you back in return or has a potential to give you in the future.Last year, I was asked for a divorce.It rocked my world.I had joined the Black Belt mastermind, built the systems and then when I had no capacity to operate in my business the systems helped me continue to grow.The connections in the group helped me through the process and gave me a safe place to go to ask for help when I needed it in my business.The crisis is not the reason to quit. It's the signal that it's time for you to go deeper.

S5 Ep 3Should I go into business with a partner or spouse?
Here some things to consider:1) Do you both want to fill the same roles? Ie: both treat patients, both do the marketing, both be the visionary?Or Are your strengths and interests complimentary?2) Should to have a trial period and need an exit strategy if it doesn’t work or feel right. Set expectations, have a “safe” wordShould have an operating agreement that deals with dissolution of the business, and depending on the laws of your state, your business may belong to your partner in marriage whether they work in the business or not.Book recommendations if you do decide to run your business with a partnerE-myth by Michael GerberAndRocket fuel by Gino Wickman

S5 Ep 212 Lessons I Learned from Getting a Divorce
I’m officially divorced!We were together for 22 years, married for 17 and Yes we had been having issues, seen therapists, regularly checked in and talked through our challenges, even made it through covid, but then something shifted.A few days after PT Biz con 2022 my wife at the time asked for a divorce.The last 15 months have been some of the hardest up and down months in my life, especially 2 months directly after PT Biz Con Live 2023 this year.I’m sure if you’ve been a long time listener you might have noticed a shift. Maybe you haven’t. Maybe you guessed something was up.Up until now I’ve been hesitant to share this because #1 I didn’t believe it was really true and didn’t know how to talk about it or who I could without disparaging someone I knew and loved for 22 years #2 I didn’t want to share anything until I knew that everything was complete, finalized and official because I didn’t want it to make my life even more difficult#3 I didn’t want to make it all about me because my duty on this podcast and in my coaching business is to my subscribers, listeners and clients so it’s taken a while to start to process what happened in a way that my story can hopefully be helpful to youI hope if you are currently in a committed relationship that you can learn a few things to make it even betterAnd if you are looking for your next relationship that you can learn something from me to make it even better andIf you are divorced or working through a divorce you know you are not alone, because I know I sure felt that way at times.I have a lot of lessons to share in upcoming episodes about business and life and I feel like I need to share this with you so there is context as I try to pass along the lessons I’ve learned through this process in business and in life.So far everything is chill, the kids are doing great, I’ve got 50/50 custody and have spent more time with them in the last year and a half and built a stronger bond with them, than I was able in the years before separating.Lessons Learned:1) When things are tough, lean on your friends and team2) Systems to grow your business are vital. - what I learned and set up in BlackBelt helped me continue to grow my business when I didn't have the capacity to do more than the basic necessities.3) Take your time - don’t rush the process. In NC you have to be separated a year before filing for a divorce. I’m glad I waited because what I learned along the way, changed my outcome and situation.4) karma is a bitch6) It's the tough things that you go through that will make you even stronger7)Aligned in vision and tell the truth.8) No and the truth doesn’t hurt my feelings9) There is not “the one” there is “the one right now”10) Make the decision and be ok with the other person’s emotional regulation11) Find someone who supports you and doesn’t drain you12) If you’re in a relationship, learn more about how to be better in a relationship, better lover, communicator and partner - listen to podcasts and personal development shows.I have a clear and defined path forward. I’m no longer being held back in my business and now have a higher bar to earn even more money to ensure that the amount of $ I am paying out every month is inconsequential to meI’ve already had a few close friends reach out to me this year for relationship advice. It was weird because I don’t feel like I’m the best to give relationship advice, lol! but, they were both struggling in their marriage and I had just been through the worst of...

S5 Ep 1Welcome to the Aaron LeBauer Show
Welcome backFor the last 9 years we've been doing the CashPT Lunch Hour podcast to help physical therapy cash practice owners launch, grow and scale 6 & 7 figure cash practices.Started as a webinar series in 2014 and moved onto itunes in 2016 and have produced 239 episodesToday is the first episode of The Aaron LeBauer Show.If you are a physical therapist and cash practice owner or want to learn more about cash practice, be sure to listen back to the past episodes.My story -sleeping on the couch, 43 patients in 1 dayHow I built a cash practice clinicThen a million dollar coaching businessCan help other professions not just PTsTeaching about business, marketing and sales and Talking about life lessons not just CashPTThe success formula goes like this be quick to ask for help, quick to take action and be quick to share your wins and lessonsThe Aaron LeBauer show will be featuring episodes about entrepreneurship, business strategies and tactics and life lessons.If there's one thing I've learned in the last 10 years coaching physical therapists is that as the business owner we are our own worst enemy and bottleneck.It's funny, I find myself doing more "life coaching" these days than actual "business coaching" lol!Don't get me wrong, I teach plenty of tactics and strategies in our programs and coaching groups.I initially thought teaching strategies and tactics were what would help others be successful, but I've learned that it's something else entirely.it's mindset and belief and surrounding ourselves with the right people and voices.That's what this podcast is about. Helping you shed the limiting beliefs, learning the latest and cutting edge strategies and giving you an opportunity to connect with other people, now matter how far away they are, to have a positive and encouraging voice in your head.I just got back from 10 days in Hawaii meeting with clients, attending a blackbelt and boardroom mastermind event to make my business better and surfing everyday.If there’s one thing that’s still true…You are the sum of the people you surround yourself with the most.Surround yourself with the right people and put yourself in the right room.Remember in business:Speed WinsProgress over Perfection80% is good enough.See you on the next episode.

S4 Ep 236APTA's CSM Conference Review & Lessons
I just finished up 3 days at APTA's CSM conference. I know more than a few of you thought it was a joke that I was here when I sent out an email last week about meeting up.Well I've been teaching our Platinum Mastermind group the importance of doing in-person workshops, events and getting in front of their customers, and guess what? 14,000 of my potential customers are here.Unfortunately, most of them don't know that cash practice is an option and many of them think it's fringe, no possible or even unethical. There were still sessions where people were talking about marketing to “doctors" and the session on "innovation" was empty.Here's my rundown of what I learned and how CSM Compares to PT Biz Con especially for physical therapy business owners…Be sure to join us at PT Biz Con 2023 – the premier event for physical therapists looking to grow their businesses and reach their full potential.

On today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Megan Stinson PT, DPT, co-owner od Stinson & Voss physical therapy. For 8 years, she owned or managed a thriving, growing, insurance based outpatient multidisciplinary rehab practice in a rural community in East Tennessee. After selling that practice, she stepped away from outpatient for almost 3 full years, determined that there had to be a better way to treat clients and give them the care that they really needed outside of the constraints of the typical insurance driven medical model. In 2021, Megan and Dr. Kaitlyn Voss, a former employee, opened a cash based, private physical therapy practice in the same small town. In August of 2022, they joined the Platinum Mastermind and have seen exponential growth in their reach to the community and are beginning to see the time, stability, and financial impact in their personal lives. She has worked for years at the state and national level on physical therapy legislative issues and an currently the Practice Chair for her state professional association. For years, she has worked diligently to improve client/patient access to care through different avenues.Megan shares her wealth of experience in different models of physical therapy.

S4 Ep 226[REPLAY] Why I quit the APTA
On today’s episode, I talk about why I quit the APTA. Did I just trigger you?The APTA has actually done a lot of good for us. Without them, we wouldn’t ’ be where we are as a profession, because they are our ONLY unified voice for legislation! And I was a member for years, all the way up until 2020. Let me tell you why I decided not to renew my membership. When I was a member, I identified problems and offered solutions to do things better! But it always fell on deaf ears. No one would listen. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be a member, and I’m not saying they’re bad! But it was no longer a fit for me. If you find a problem but do nothing to fix it, then you’re just complaining. The APTA is a big ship that takes a long time (too long) to change directions. There are people willing to stand up and help out, but there is a lack of feedback provided to those who DO offer their time and services to better the organization. After a certain point, it becomes obvious the your effects aren’t appreciated. We shouldn’t be relying on referrals from physicians and the APTA doesn’t seem to be on board with that idea. The final straw was the lack of guidelines and support when we were dealing with COVID. We had no advice on screening questions, how to pivot out businesses, how to utilize Telehealth. NOTHING!This was a time to lead and the APTA dropped the ball. I didn’t get he value from my membership in the APTA. That’s what it boils down to. If the value is there, regardless of what it is, you stay. We talk about:-the good the APTA has done-where they’ve fallen short-being open to new ideas -falling short on feedback-relying on physician referrals-lack of transparency-getting the value you expectTIME STAMPS:1:00 Intro3:40 complain but take action7:30 trying to speak at PPS and CSM9:15 reluctant to make changes 14:30 how COVID was handled Connect with Aaron:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronLeBauerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aaronlebauer/CashPT Nation FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CashPTNationIf you are ready to launch and grow a Cash PT practice, DM me “Blueprint” to get started!

S4 Ep 224The Real Problem in Physical Therapy
The Real Problem in Physical TherapyThe easy route never pays well. The only route in life that pays well is the hard route.99% of physical therapists struggle to earn the money their degree should command.Most are struggling to pay off their student loans.If you can make a life changing transformation for your patient you deserve to be compensated for it.Treat the patient that’s right in front of you. Not the diagnosis or body part.Stop being afraid of making waves and rocking the boat. Stick to your ethics and morals.Stop making decisions based on what the insurance will pay for.Stand up for what’s right.Start making decisions and recommendations that are what is in the best interest of your patient.That’s what a “real doctor does.Fuck insurance companies. If you are passionate about patient care, hate being micromanaged, want freedom to practice and treat your patients the way you think is best, not insurance companies, and you want to build a 6 figure cash practice in the next 90 days and make 2023 your best year ever, you might be a great fit for our CashPT® Blueprint Case Study group that’s starting soon.If you are interested in joining us, just comment below with the word “Case Study” and I’ll send you the details on the program and how you can join us.

S4 Ep 221$6,000 with 1 email - The PT Email Engine™️ Black Friday Special
Today, I’m going to give you an email to send that can make you $1,000 or more. The PT Email Engine™️ is a powerful tool, if you only just use it!But before I go into detail about the Black Friday PT Email Engine™️ offer, I want to give you value first. I’ll explain the one email you need to send non-patients and the email you need to send previous and existing patients. A Pre-Loaded Marketing Account to Generate a Consistent Flow of New Patients Every Month (Even If You Don't Have the Time to Learn a New Software) for Only $1!!!I don’t know about your specific situation however I do know that when I started my cash practice back in 2009 I struggled to get new patients using the traditional marketing strategies taught by the APTA, the Private Practice Section and used by traditional clinics.Those just didn't’ work, are too expensive for a small business and when does it ever feel good sucking up to the “doctors” and asking for handouts?That especially doesn't feel right when you are a doctor too? Why should you have to beg and grovel for patients?I think we can both agree that PT school didn’t give you the tools to demand much more than $100K/year nor teach you the strategies to run a profitable physical therapy business.And since you’ve been trained to be skeptical and do your research, as we all should be, and PT business owners come to me every week asking to learn how to get new patients fast and create a consistent flow of new patients, that as an ethical and honest bribe to help you radically grow your PT business, I want to give you my best marketing emails and forms and set you up with your very own PT Email Engine™️ marketing account for just $1 for the first 30 days.We’ve been using these marketing strategies ourselves and teaching them to the top cash practice owners in the USA since 2013 to generate millions of dollars in revenue and helps 100's of 1,000’s of patients Get PT 1st. It's time you had them at your disposal too!That’s your email list.We’ll help you build a powerful email list. One that does all the work for you and is the most valuable asset you own.Something that is so valuable that it becomes your best employee and helps you generate at least $10 per contact per month!Where to get it... www.PTEmailEngine.comTIME STAMPS: 1:00 giving thanks4:08 the two emails you need to send10:20 simplicity of PT Email Engine™️15:03 putting in the work20:11 bonuses of the black Friday deal 21:43 having more than 1,000 contacts Connect with Aaron:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronLeBauerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aaronlebauer/CashPT Nation FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CashPTNation
