I have not met too many health practitioners who decided to go into their chosen profession because they love marketing and can’t wait to get their teeth into it. Mostly practitioners dread the thought, hope that the phone will just ring, patients will flow into the...

Taking confident and pro-active action can make a massive difference to your results. It is extremely easy to go day to day, month to month and not get as much done as you had imagined or hoped. So, let us make the second third of 2018 count by stepping out of our...

It is ‘easy’ (easy, especially with our help) to plan what you want to achieve, set goals and outline what your dream life and practice looks like. Then comes the harder part…translating the dream vision into reality. Where should you start? If you’ve set goals and...

This month’s topic was inspired by a combination of a meeting I had with a physio in Johannesburg and subsequent chats with some of her patients. Should Rozanne decide to immigrate to the UK, South Africa will be loosing one of their great physios and the UK will be...

Where has the first half of this year gone? They say time flies when you're having fun. Are you having fun? How are you doing against any goals you might have set for yourself and your business for 2017? We love 'livin' on a prayer' and having trust, faith and a...

Life can change in a flash and it's at times like the very recent Manchester terror attack that the cliché 'Life's too short, make the most of it' makes us really think. We can however all too easily soon slip back into the day-to-day routine, some of which serves us...
