"How to Reduce Owner Admin Overload and Buy Back Your Time" with Paula Burgess

Just released the latest Practiceology 7 Questions in 7 Minutes Podcast, this session featuring practice admin and efficiency expert, Paula Burgess. In this session we went deep on how allied health business owners can finally reduce admin overload and reclaim their time—without sacrificing business performance. Here are my top 3 takeaways if you’re a health business owner feeling buried by admin: 🔑Track your time relentlessly. As Paula explained, doing a simple time audit can reveal where your valuable hours are really going and highlight low-value tasks you could delegate or automate. 🔑Systemize EVERYTHING you do more than once. Document your processes early! This not only makes future outsourcing smoother, but also helps you avoid being the bottleneck in your own business. 🔑Don’t let mindset and trust issues keep you stuck. Many owners struggle to hand over admin because the business is their “baby”—but success comes from building trust in others and letting go to focus on your high-impact work.

"How to Navigate Reforms in NDIS and Aged Care" with Trystan Conway

In this episode of the Practiceology™ Podcast, I spoke to with Trystan Conway to discuss the real-world challenges and strategies for allied health businesses dealing with ongoing reforms in the NDIS and aged care sectors. Here are my top three takeaways for anyone in allied health or government-funded service delivery: 🔹 Proactive beats reactive Too many practices put their head in the sand when it comes to regulatory changes. Instead, model out worst-case scenarios and have a plan—hoping things will sort themselves out is not a strategy. 🔹 Focus on what you can control Government funding changes and reforms are highly emotive and often outside your control. Stay grounded by focusing on what you can influence: your business structure, your value proposition, and your internal processes. 🔹 Diversification is key Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Having all your revenue tied to a single funding stream (like NDIS paediatrics) is risky. Explore ways to diversify your services or client base to better weather any future upheaval. If you want monthly, actionable updates on NDIS, aged care, and industry reforms from an allied health perspective, sign up for Trystan's newsletter at conwaygroup.com.au or connect with him on LinkedIn!

How to Grow Your Practice by Reducing Isolation with Owen Campbell

Just released the latest Practiceology 7 Questions in 7 Minutes Podcast featuring Owen Campbell, co-founder of Physio Growth. If you’re in the allied health or physical therapy space and looking to scale your clinic, this is a must-listen! Here are my top 3 takeaways from the conversation: 🔹Seek Community, Not Isolation: Many practice owners feel alone and lack a space to share ideas and get guidance. Owen and his co-founder Brian’s affordable Q&A calls and online community directly address this, offering support and collective wisdom. 🔹Plan Ahead, Don’t Just React: Owen highlights that the most common mistake is reactionary growth—taking on urgent hires or new insurances without considering long-term strategy. Thinking two steps ahead is key to sustainable growth. 🔹Network for the Long Game: Whether you’re insurance-based or cash-based, plugging into referral-focused networking groups like BNI can be a game-changer for building relationships and growing your patient base. Even owners with multiple clinics find value in these connections!

"How and Why to Prep Before Launching AI in Your Allied Health Business" with Irene Hammerich

Just released the latest Practiceology 7 Questions in 7 Minutes Podcast featuring Irene Hammerich. where we tackled one of the hottest topics for clinic owners and health business leaders: How to truly prepare your business for AI. What stood out for me (and what I see time and time again) is that too many clinic owners rush to implement new AI tools—only to end up automating bad processes, feeling overwhelmed by choice, and missing out on the real potential of technology. My top 3 takeaways: 🔹Systems first, AI second: Don’t get distracted by shiny new tools. Document and fix your business systems first—AI only magnifies what’s already there (the good and the not-so-good!). 🔹Start small and get clarity: Pick ONE critical process in your clinic. If you can’t document how it works from end-to-end, pause on AI and focus on systematizing first. 🔹Don’t fall in love with tools, fall in love with solving problems: Before you pick your next automation or AI upgrade, make sure you’re clear on the real business problem you’re solving. If you’re a health business owner feeling like your business is too dependent on you—or you’re interested in getting your operations AI-ready—you can reach out to Irene Hammerich on LinkedIn to arrange a FREE 30-minute practice discovery call. https://www.linkedin.com/in/irene-hammerich/ Or email her at: irene@launchpadprime.com Is Your Health Business Leaking Money?
