2. Insurance / Managed Healthcare (Everyone is having difficulty expanding their practice because of what is happening in healthcare)

That is definitely not true. There are practices that continue to expand despite what may or may not be occurring in healthcare. One only needs to be able to “see” past the barriers that managed healthcare presents and “push” to reach your goals.

3. Being a full time Physical Therapist and being an Executive around the edges (I don’t want to be an executive)

Commonly a private practice physical therapist will say what they really want to do is just treat patients. What I say to someone who tells me that is that they should have not opened their own practice, they should have just worked for somebody else. That is what you are trying to get from the rest of your clinical staff, is just to treat patients. There are 6 other major divisions in your organization besides just patient care, and those areas are vital that you know how to increase their productivity to lead to long term expansion of your organization. Quite honestly, the fact that one would see patients full time doesn’t truly permit them to manage their practice except in the hours after work. Who wants to work that many hours?

4. When things get tough, I treat patients.

Commonly, the biggest solution that I see a private practice owner who is not truly being an executive is that he gets annoyed when there are problems that go on in the organization that take him away from patient care. Quite honestly he is not confronting these problems and fully handling them so that they never happen again, and the more you resist something, the more it tends to show up. Have you noticed that there has been problems in your organization that you have fixed many times but they never seem to stay? Wouldn’t you like to know how to fix things permanently?
