He shares an amusing anecdote about his daughter's school performance, where she performed a trap version of "The Wheels on the Bus," to highlight this point.

Ep605 | How To Raise Your Prices

This week's Thursday episode comes to you from our PT Biz YouTube channel. If you have not had a chance to check it out, head to https://www.youtube.com/@ptbiztraining! Don't forget to subscribe! In this episode, Danny dives into the topic of raising prices as a means to increase revenue without increasing overhead. He emphasizes the importance of physical therapists charging an average hourly rate of $150 in order to be able to expand their business beyond themselves and maintain low volume. Furthermore, Danny encourages striving for a rate of $175-200 to allow for growth and hiring. Danny provides two strategies for raising prices, the first being a silent price raise where prices are simply adjusted without explanation. The second is a reactivation price raise, which involves reaching out to prior customers with an explanation of the price change and offering them the opportunity to purchase one package at the previous rate. He stresses the significance of painting a vision for the company and putting in the effort to reach out to prior customers instead of taking the lazy route. Danny concludes by encouraging physical therapists to take the initiative in raising their prices, as it benefits both themselves and their patients by allowing for fair compensation and improved quality of care. This episode offers valuable insight and practical advice for physical therapists considering a price raise.

Ep589 | Why I Love Slack

Today, I am giving some quick thoughts on why I love the internal communication channel that is known as Slack. Slack compartmentalizes conversations and can be used for different aspects of the business, like a channel for clinicians only or upcoming events. Slack is helpful for those who are technology averse, as it is an easy-to-use internal communication channel. It is used in both cash practices and PT biz. Enjoy!

Ep588 | The Importance Of Community

As a business and clinic owner, you must find ways to maintain mental and physical health. One of the biggest challenges of being a clinical entrepreneur is being present and engaged with patients, while also managing the multiple facets of running a business. Sacrifices often need to be made when working to build a successful business. This may mean avoiding social invitations or activities such as sports teams, hobbies, and other community events. It is essential to find balance in order to maintain the relationships with those in one's community, as well as to enjoy the fruits of one's labor. Enjoy!

Ep581 | Huge Hiring Mistakes

What's up, everybody? Today, I wanted to get on here and talk about a trend I am seeing in physical therapy businesses that have scaled up over the past two years. When it comes to hiring, don't assume that every PT hired by you is going to be willing to work long hours, do workshops, and create content for your business. It is important to provide employees with a sense of security and stability in order to ensure that they will want to stay long-term. Don't put them in a risky situation because this will lead to them looking elsewhere. Enjoy!

Ep571 | Stop Learning And Start Doing

People that make improvements in their businesses are action-takers. They don't procrastinate and they are quick to do things and get their hands dirty. People who stall out or plateau are procrastinators. In order to learn something, you have to apply it. This is true for everything from school to work to hobbies. Just because you've put time into learning something doesn't mean you know it. In order to be good at something, you have to allow yourself to be bad at it first. This means being okay with making mistakes and being open to feedback. Today, I get into the importance of learning vs doing. Enjoy!
