Got an email from a student who is frustrated. He is still in school but seeing other PTs opening practices and building relationships in the city he plans to move to after graduation. He is feeling that scarcity mindset kick in. It is easy to say "have an abundance mentality," but how do you deal with it in real time when it feels like others are getting a head start? The truth is, there are plenty of people to help. Most of us are fighting over the 20% who already know they need us, while 80% of potential clients do not even know we exist or how we can help them.

Today I have Jay Myerson on, Director of Clinical Development at Performance Physical Therapy and adjunct faculty at Quinnipiac. We met at CSM doing a crazy early CrossFit workout. Jay's got a cool story about carving out a killer role for himself, blending clinical work, teaching, and mentorship, all without having to start his own thing from scratch. We dive deep into committing to clinical excellence and why your soft skills are just as crucial as your manual skills. Jay went the traditional route initially, then pursued advanced certs, residency, and fellowship. He realized the in network model was leading to burnout and was about to launch his own cash practice when an opportunity arose with Performance PT. They needed someone to develop their clinicians, and Jay wanted to treat, mentor, and teach. It was a perfect match, allowing him to create his dream job within a growing company.

Today, I want to dive into something a bit "woo woo" but incredibly powerful: the law of attraction, or more specifically, how your thoughts drive your actions. I am a big believer that what you consistently visualize and positively affirm, you are more likely to achieve. It is about putting yourself in the mental state to do the work. I remember in undergrad, I told my entire psychology class I was going to the Army Baylor PT program before I even got accepted. I was so sure, so obsessed with that one path, that it felt like a done deal in my mind. That conviction, that visualization, it matters.

Ever feel like you're just grinding, hitting goals, but not really enjoying it? I've been there. Grew up a saver, always had that scarcity mindset, which is good, but it can stop you from appreciating the wins. Today, I'm talking about ditching that 'always save, never spend' mentality and actually celebrating your business victories. Took me five years and a new truck to really get this. It's not just about the shiny new thing; it's about acknowledging the hard work and sacrifice. So, what's the point of all the effort if you don't enjoy the journey? We'll cover when and how to celebrate those milestones, and why it's crucial for the long haul. (P.S. If you just started, maybe hold off on popping champagne for that first patient, alright?)

Ever find yourself hesitating, maybe putting off that big leap into your own practice? Today, I'm diving into something I saw with my own son, Jack where this idea that it's better not to try than to risk losing. Sound familiar? It got me thinking about how many new business owners, especially in our field, feel the same way. They're on the sidelines, not playing the game, because they're scared to fail. We'll unpack why stepping into the arena, even with that fear, is way better than never starting. Waiting for that "perfect moment"? Spoiler: it's not coming.

Ever feel like you're trying to connect with people, especially for your business, and it's just not clicking? Maybe you're going about it the wrong way. Today, I'm talking about a simple, but super powerful, idea: start by being genuinely interested in other people. It's not about you, at least not at first. I learned this (again) talking to a wine distributor. I don't even drink much wine! But by just asking him questions and listening, he thought I was interesting. The same goes for building those crucial local business relationships. Forget the pitch about how awesome you are; find out what makes them tick.
