  EP 810 ☕️ "Are the PTs Asking for 150K Actually Any Good?" [Coffee with Goughy]

  Aug 28, 20261h 12m

  Today, I made the case that patients don't pay for research or clinical credentials — they pay for "the magic," and that's the real litmus test for whether a PT is worth what they're asking for. Introduced two litmus tests for a PT's true value: how many patients specifically call and ask for them by name, and how much of a fuss gets kicked up when you try to move them to another provider Argued that devotion, communication, and basic human courtesy (eye contact, please and thank you) build a practice far more than clinical research ever will, using the barbershop/loyalty analogy to make the point Shared the story of growing his own caseload from 15 to 71 patients through sheer devotion and desire, with no marketing systems at all, to illustrate what separates a great PT from an average one Grab your FREE copy of any one of my six best-selling marketing books right here: https://physiofunnels.com/free/ Follow Paul here: ️ Paul Gough Podcast – https://www.paulgough.com/podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePaulGough Instagram: @ThePaulGough YouTube: Paul Gough Media Twitter/X: @ThePaulGough Website: https://www.paulgough.com/ Hosted on Acast.

  EP 809 ☕️ "Why Don't My Staff PTs Respect Me?" [Coffee with Goughy]

  Aug 27, 20261h 14m

  Today, I tackled the question "Why don't my staff PTs respect me?" — tracing it back to a self-respect problem in the business owner rather than the employees themselves. Explained why respect from staff starts with an owner's own self-belief, and broke down the cultural shift since 2005 where employees stopped automatically respecting "the boss" Unpacked how entitled, "why should I?" attitudes trace back to expensive degrees, indoctrinating colleges, and a generation raised without real risk or consequences Argued that being an employee doesn't entitle you to the upside of risks you didn't take, and made the case for why owners need unshakeable self-belief to run a successful business Grab your FREE copy of any one of my six best-selling marketing books right here: https://physiofunnels.com/free/ Follow Paul here: ️ Paul Gough Podcast – https://www.paulgough.com/podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePaulGough Instagram: @ThePaulGough YouTube: Paul Gough Media Twitter/X: @ThePaulGough Website: https://www.paulgough.com/ Hosted on Acast.

  EP 808 "How Long Have You Been Trying to Fix Your PT's Rotten Attitude?" [Paul on Fire]

  Aug 27, 202618 min

  Today, I broke down why detachment — not attachment — is the key to being a good parent, boss, and business owner, using the parallel between raising kids and managing staff to make the point. Explained that trying to change someone's attitude is a losing game, since beliefs are ~88% fixed, and the real job is to observe, offer a nudge, and let people self-select in or out Argued that owners get emotionally hijacked into an "attitude correction officer" role instead of remembering the actual goal: build a profitable business with the right people around you Made the case that PTs are more valuable than they realize (citing a 2.3% national unemployment rate among PTs) and urged owners to stop fearing staff turnover since replacing a bad attitude usually makes the business richer, not poorer Grab your FREE copy of any one of my six best-selling marketing books right here: https://physiofunnels.com/free/ Follow Paul here: ️ Paul Gough Podcast – https://www.paulgough.com/podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePaulGough Instagram: @ThePaulGough YouTube: Paul Gough Media Twitter/X: @ThePaulGough Website: https://www.paulgough.com/ Hosted on Acast.

  EP 807 ☕️ "Is Your Staff PT's Bad Attitude Costing You Money?" [Coffee with Goughy]

  Aug 24, 20261h 12m

  Today, I dug into whether staff PT attitude is costing clinic owners money, breaking down where attitude actually comes from and why you can never train it away. Explained that attitude is a manifestation of belief systems (88% fixed for life), so performance plans and "attitude correction" courses are futile — you either tolerate it or cut the person loose Argued that owners and employees are clashing because entitled, self-righteous new-grad PTs want the lifestyle without following the proven success playbook Riffed on possible names for a joke "attitude correction" course to run alongside PPM Live, and made the case for choosing Orlando over the "boring" APTA conference in Denver Grab your FREE copy of any one of my six best-selling marketing books right here: https://physiofunnels.com/free/ Follow Paul here: ️ Paul Gough Podcast – https://www.paulgough.com/podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePaulGough Instagram: @ThePaulGough YouTube: Paul Gough Media Twitter/X: @ThePaulGough Website: https://www.paulgough.com/ Hosted on Acast.

  Episode #806

  EP 806 ☕️ "Should Staff PTs Make More Than Clinic Owners?"

  Aug 21, 20261h 11m

  Today, I broke down whether staff PTs should out-earn clinic owners, using reactions from a Facebook debate to unpack the "and life" mindset that separates thriving business owners from those stuck blaming insurance companies and the marketplace for their problems. Explained why owners deserve a CEO-level salary plus profit, and called out the excuse-making that keeps struggling clinics stuck Called out "bang average" PTs and clinic owners coasting on outdated models, arguing the real enemy is complacency, not insurance reimbursements Grab your FREE copy of any one of my six best-selling marketing books right here: https://physiofunnels.com/free/ Follow Paul here: ️ Paul Gough Podcast – https://www.paulgough.com/podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePaulGough Instagram: @ThePaulGough YouTube: Paul Gough Media Twitter/X: @ThePaulGough Website: https://www.paulgough.com/ Hosted on Acast.
