Blog - Nagging Injuries...
And Four Leg Info on... Ideas & Creativity !
The life updates:
Well, it's been an up and down week.
It's been a good week. Mostly I'm just getting caught up because I was away teaching last week/weekend! Which, as I type this, I get flashes & reminders of so much stuff I still need to do! Ack!
You know, when I describe to folks how much I do (treating dog, marketing for the clinic, some human / equipment / problem solving / etc management of the clinic, FourLeg content creation / blog creation / e-blasts / book-keeping / e-mails & the forum, teaching courses, developing courses, Animal Rehab Division politics / meetings / education, dealing with a stupid pipeline company, ranch management (paying bills,
paperwork, management of 4 additional houses, etc.), managing my little 'human' clinic (or really just being peripherally aware), taking care of the health of my husband and battling his carcinoid tumour, keeping tabs on my adult children (more stressful than it sounds), keeping tabs on my aging mother, caring for the last dog in the house, taking care of my own health, and managing the household), I am often asked, "Well, what can you give up?"
When I spin every scenario... the answer is, "Nothing!"
So, all I can do is change my brain and my reaction to it all. I'm no longer 'organized' and 'ahead of the game'. I have to 'react' more than I can be 'proactive'. And I just have to deal with that... because right now, nothing can change. It might in the future... but for now, not!
It sort of ties in with the Audio I'm posting today. What do you need to do if you are the business owner, the therapist, or if you are both?
Anyways... I've got stuff to do! That's all of the pontifications you get from me! Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! I hope you enjoy family and friends this week.
That all for now!
Okay, now on with your learning...
Four Leg Audio - Business & Marketing #24
Owner, Therapist, or Both? (What to do and how to keep sane!)
|
|
|
Are you a business owner? Are you a therapist working for someone else? Or are you both? Each practitioner scenario has it's unique ups and downs, and how you balance your time, energy, learning, etc., depends on which role you are in. Have a read and see where you are comfortable, where you want to be, and what you may need to do or 'get to do' in each
scenario!
I hope you enjoy the listen!

I've put all of my exercises (and some of yours) onto a handy platform - Physiotec! It's a wonderful online resource for delivering home exercise / advice programs.
There are HUNDREDS of exercises FOURLEGEXERCISE.COM already! You can find the exercises, print off a handout, send them a link to the VIDEOS of the exercises. There's
so much! Massage, Owner-friendly joint therapies, Exercises, Advisement, etc, etc.
NOW... be aware that this platform is run by / owned by / billed for separately, by... Physiotec... and the support for the website is via physiotec as well. The MAIN GLITCH I am finding now... is that when you e-mail or call tech-support you will NEED to LET THEM KNOW that your question pertains to
FOURLEGEXERCISE! (Otherwise, it's a bit of a schmozzle to get sorted, because they direct you to the Physiotec website vs FourLegExercise website!!!) Check it out and LET ME KNOW (what you think, your experiences, etc... so that I can report back if there are issues!)
I hope you find it useful! GO THERE... CHECK IT OUT!
