Hello and welcome back to the Treat Your Business Podcast! Today I want to have a really honest chat with you. Let’s face it, running a clinic can be incredibly tough. It’s not all rainbows and pilates classes, is it? There are moments when it feels like everything is just too much.

In this episode, I’m sharing personal stories, some practical strategies, and a few hard truths about what it really takes to lead when you feel like giving up. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or just plain fed up, this one’s for you.

So, make yourself a brew, take a deep breath, and let’s dive in.

What’s Covered in This Episode?

• You’re Not Alone
  Every clinic owner I know has hit that wall at some point. I’ve been there myself. Whether it’s demanding clients, team challenges, or financial pressures, those moments of “I can’t do this anymore” are more common than you think. It’s okay to feel this way.
• Reality Check on Leadership
  Let’s talk about what it really means to be a leader. It’s emotional, messy, and sometimes downright exhausting. But here’s the thing: your feelings don’t define your ability to lead. It’s what you do next that matters.
• Actionable Strategies
  I share the exact steps I’ve taken (and still take) when everything feels like it’s falling apart:
  • Pause and Brain Dump: Get everything out of your head and onto paper. You can’t tackle the overwhelm until you know what’s actually causing it.
  • Break the Isolation: Talk to someone who gets it—a mentor, a trusted friend, or even a business group. Leaning on others isn’t a weakness; it’s a strength.
  • Focus on Small Wins: Start each day by celebrating three small victories. Progress happens one step at a time, even if it feels slow.
  • Reconnect with Your Why: Remind yourself why you started your clinic. Read your reviews and remember the impact you’re having on people’s lives.
  • Let Go of What No Longer Serves You: Whether it’s outdated services, inefficient systems, or even toxic team members, sometimes you’ve got to make tough decisions to move forward.

Key Takeaways

1. Leadership isn’t about doing it all. It’s about doing what matters most.
2. Feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re failing; it means you care.
3. Progress is built one small step at a time, so focus on the next brick in your wall.
4. You’re not alone. Whether it’s reaching out to your team, a community, or your business coach, support is there if you ask for it.
5. Tough times don’t last, but tough leaders do.

Hi there, and welcome to this week’s episode of Treat Your Business! I’m Katie, and today, we’re diving into one of the most universal but often unspoken challenges among high achievers—imposter syndrome. It’s that inner voice that makes us doubt our accomplishments, no matter how much we’ve achieved. If you’ve ever questioned your worth, felt like you don’t deserve success, or found yourself caught in cycles of perfectionism or self-doubt, this episode is for you.

Episode Summary:

In this episode, we explore the roots and realities of imposter syndrome—what it is, why it shows up, and how it holds us back from reaching our full potential in business and life. Katie shares her personal journey with imposter syndrome, recounting moments of self-doubt, overachievement, and the struggle to embrace success fully. She discusses the subconscious behaviours that lead to self-sabotage and shares insights from coaching hundreds of clinic owners who experience similar hurdles. Through stories and practical examples, Katie offers strategies to understand and tackle these inner challenges, encouraging listeners to recognise their own worth, celebrate their achievements, and avoid the perfectionism trap.

Katie also dives into the "7 out of 10" principle, a practical approach for combating procrastination by embracing “good enough” rather than perfection, and the importance of avoiding comparison. We explore specific ways to cultivate a mindset of abundance, embrace our achievements, and surround ourselves with supportive people, like coaches, who can help us overcome imposter syndrome’s effects on our confidence and business growth.

Key Takeaways:

• Recognise Imposter Syndrome: Understand what it is and why many high achievers experience it.
• Embrace Imperfection: Aim for a "7 out of 10" rather than perfection to keep moving forward.
• Celebrate Success: Take time to acknowledge achievements rather than focusing solely on what’s left to do.
• Avoid Comparison: Unfollow competitors and focus on your unique strengths and value.
• Surround Yourself with Support: Seek mentors, coaches, and people who uplift and inspire you.
• Shift from Fear to Abundance: Reframe risk and opportunity to break free from self-doubt and fear of failure.

Hi, I’m Katie Bell, and welcome to this off-the-cuff episode of Treat Your Business. Today, we’re diving deep into a concept that could transform how you run your clinic or business: essentialism and the art of strategic sacrifice. As you gear up for the end-of-year madness, I’m giving you permission to pause, refocus, and invest your time where it matters most. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, spinning plates at a hundred miles an hour, or like you’re the lowest paid in your own company, this one is for you!

Episode Summary:

In today’s episode, we explore the concept of essentialism: the disciplined pursuit of less but better. Inspired by insights from the Expert Empires Conference and conversations with fellow clinic owners, I’m here to share why strategy is the art of sacrifice and how being strategic can lead to more fulfilment, better financial outcomes, and a thriving business.

We’ll discuss how clinic owners often struggle with having a master plan, leading to feelings of spinning plates endlessly. I’ll guide you through practical methods to focus on essential activities that drive results, like filtering out distractions, saying no with confidence, and making wise investments of your time and energy.

We’ll cover real trade-offs, like choosing between taking on one more client versus prioritising your personal well-being, and explore why being reactive is costing you progress. Essentialism is about structured, disciplined approaches, and I’ll share actionable tips, including how to manage your inbox, stop multitasking, and schedule your day like a strategic powerhouse. Plus, I’ve got a special resource for you on how the recent Autumn Budget impacts your clinic.

Key Takeaways:

1. Essentialism Over Multitasking: Focus on fewer, high-impact activities to achieve significant results.
2. Strategic Sacrifice: Saying yes to what truly matters means saying no to distractions.
3. Discipline and Structure: Success comes from having a structured plan and sticking to it, not from doing everything at once.
4. Efficient Time Management: Create a schedule that serves your goals, not other people’s demands.

Welcome to another episode of Treat Your Business! Today, we’re diving into key insights from Clinic Growth Live to help you regain control over your business strategy. If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck on a hamster wheel, this episode is for you. Let’s take a step back, reconnect with your goals, and create a clear path forward!"

Episode Summary: In this episode, Katie shares insights from Clinic Growth Live, a transformative event that focused on strategy, growth, and clarity for clinic owners. She discusses common challenges like burnout and losing sight of the original vision, emphasizing the need to step back, develop a solid plan, and reconnect with the core purpose behind your business.

Key Takeaways:

1. Reconnect with Your "Why": Understanding the core reason behind your business is essential for long-term success. Take time to clarify your vision and goals.
2. Strategic Planning Is Crucial: Step back from daily operations to map out your business growth. Regular planning days can uncover new opportunities and improve efficiency.
3. Prioritize Profitability: Ensure that your business decisions align with financial goals, creating a sustainable operation that supports your lifestyle and vision.
4. Avoid the "Hamster Wheel" Trap: Being busy doesn’t always mean being productive. Focus on tasks that drive growth rather than just filling your schedule.
5. Invest in Regular Clarity Days: Dedicate time every quarter or at least annually to step away from the clinic and reassess your business strategy and direction.

Thank you so much for joining me on this episode of Treat Your Business! I hope today’s discussion has inspired you to take a step back and reassess your business goals. Remember, your business should serve you, not the other way around. If you’re ready to create a clear, actionable growth plan, don’t wait—book your discovery call with our team today.

Welcome to another episode of Treat Your Business! In this episode, we dive deep into a topic that resonates with so many clinic owners and entrepreneurs—imposter syndrome. As a clinic owner myself, I know how that nagging voice of self-doubt can hold us back from achieving our full potential. Imposter syndrome can manifest in countless ways, often making us feel inadequate, even when we’re highly capable and successful.

I share my personal journey, from missing university entry requirements to becoming a successful physiotherapist and business coach. Throughout the episode, I discuss how imposter syndrome affects high achievers, how it shows up in everyday clinic life, and—most importantly—how to manage and overcome it.

Whether you’re just starting out or have been in business for years, this episode will help you recognise imposter syndrome when it creeps in and equip you with tools to push through it, so you can continue growing your clinic with confidence.

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding Imposter Syndrome: It’s a psychological pattern where individuals doubt their achievements and fear being exposed as a fraud, despite having evidence of their success.
• Common Triggers: High achievers, like clinic owners, often face perfectionism, overworking, and self-sabotage, which can hinder their growth.
• Managing Self-Doubt: You can’t eliminate self-doubt, but you can manage it by using practical tools such as the “7 out of 10” rule, which helps you avoid perfectionism and procrastination.
• The Power of Community: Surround yourself with supportive mentors and peers, and celebrate your wins with our #FridayCheers challenge to shift your focus to positive accomplishments.
• The Importance of Coaching: Having a coach provides accountability and support to tackle imposter syndrome head-on, helping you make decisions from a place of abundance rather than fear.

Tune in to learn how to manage imposter syndrome and make bold moves for your clinic’s success!
