Clinician to CEO: The Mindset Shift Every Practice Owner Needs
Most physical therapists open a clinic to help more people — and end up buried in 60+ hour weeks, overwhelmed, and stuck in the treatment room. In this episode, business coach Steven Allred shares exactly how to make the shift from clinician to true CEO — without sacrificing your passion for care.
We dig into:
- The biggest mindset shift PT owners need to scale
- Why your business isn’t stuck — you are
- What “working on the business” actually means
- How to lead a team and stop being the bottleneck
- Real lessons from corporate boardrooms that apply to your clinic
- The power of data-informed decisions (without losing your why)
