One of the common themes I've learned over the years and after over 200 episodes is that business is business. The same principles apply for most businesses starting out and the keys to success are basically the same. So when I had a chance to interview Michael Silva, I jumped on the opportunity.
Michael is a business coach who is trying to save the physical therapy profession. During this episode, it became quite clear that health coaches and physical therapists are industries that have many common struggles. As both occupations have similar missions as wellness practitioners, they also share business struggles from building client relationships to managing pricing and business growth.
Michael joins the show to share his passion of helping physical therapists build the practice of their dreams. He empowers private practice owners to create fulfilling and profitable businesses by niching down, targeting their ideal market, and delivering exceptional experiences. Michael also shares how his journey began as a sports medicine physical therapist and quickly becoming disillusioned with the traditional healthcare model. The turning point came when he decided to start his own practice, driven by the support of his wife and the desire to create a more meaningful career.
This decision led to great success and fulfillment, inspiring him to help others do the same. Through his journey, Michael developed the 5 O's Method, a unique approach to helping physical therapists build successful private practices. Now, Michael is on a mission to transform the profession, one private practice at a time.

The number one complaint health coaches have when starting out in their practice revolves around client acquisition. How do we get consistent clients, especially when we are brand new to the game? How do we get clients when we aren't established and we might be on a tight budget as well? This dilemna is the main reason why health coaches never get their businesses off the ground and end up putting their certifications in the attic.
In this episode, we invited Michael Krug back to the show to share his brilliant strategy on getting consistent clients.

As a health coach, I really love data. We are often at a disadvantage when it comes to data because unlike doctors, we generally don't have easy access to testing or labwork. But what if we can actually access critical information that has huge health implications right from wearable tech?

How quickly we forget! Once upon a time, the online fitness and coaching world wasn't a thing. Then the world changed. We all adapted to a world where we moved our lives online.

Health coaches are naturally helpers. We authentically care about our clients and are out for their best interests. This puts us at a distinct business advantage! Putting clients first is essential for building a successful business. This approach fosters loyalty, trust, and positive word-of-mouth referrals.

One of the most popular life phrases is, "It's not what you know, it's who you know". This holds true for successful health coaching practices as well. By building your network, you can get one of the most sought after leads any business owner would desire: referrals. To this day, nothing beats a referral.

Is organic traffic dead? Not exactly. However, it isn't free. It costs a ton of time. So if you want to grow your business fast, you should consider spending money over spending your time. Health coaches can use paid ads to find more people by using ads on a variety of platforms from Facebook to Google and get themselves in front of their ideal clients in a hurry. But this is an art and we would never recommend haphazardly throwing money against the wall with ads either.
So to guide us through the world of paid ads, we invited Yuri Elkaim to the show. Yuri is the CEO of Healthpreneur and a New York Times bestselling author. Yuri overcame early health challenges and a career in professional soccer and built an online health empire, impacting over 500,000 lives and authoring three bestselling books.

Running a business is only one aspect of your life, even if it seems like it consumes everything else. How many times have certain areas of life were neglected in order to keep our businesses afloat? Has our health suffered? Our relationship with our loved ones? Has our connection to spirit taken a hit? Like it or not, these aspects of ourselves need to be shored up in order for any business venture to thrive and that balance is key to any profitable practice.

I know the legal aspect of health coaching isn't the first and foremost thing on the mind of a health coach. But we do live in a litigious society.
