S2 E12: How to Stop Being the Bottleneck in Your Business
The Clinical Entrepreneur
I’ll admit it - I was the biggest roadblock in my own business. When I asked my team what wasn’t working, all roads led straight back to me. And honestly? It stung. But it also revealed the exact places where I needed to step back, delegate, and stop micromanaging. And here’s what I realized: Most wellness practitioners - whether they have a team or are working solo - are the biggest bottlenecks in their own business. Why? Because we care. A lot. 👉We think, “No one will do this as well as I do.” 👉We tell ourselves, “It’s just faster if I handle it myself.” 👉We worry,...

The Clinical Entrepreneur
Ever had a patient disappear into thin air? One minute, they’re all in, excited about their treatment plan, and the next - GHOSTED. No calls, no follow-ups, no explanation. 🙄 If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Was it me? Was it the cost? Did I say something weird?” - take a deep breath. It’s not just you, and it’s (probably) not about money. Patients don’t drop off because they don’t want to get better… they drop off because they don’t know what to expect.

If creating content makes you want to scream into a pillow or run in the opposite direction, you’re not alone. 🤯 You sit down, determined to finally post something, and then… you draw a blank.

info_outlineFeeling like your business is a bit all over the place? It often seems like there simply aren’t enough hours in the day and far too many loose ends that need your attention, right? But here’s the good news! Whether you're juggling patient appointments, managing your team, or just trying to keep up with your growing practice, having a series of checklists can save the day! 📝
In this episode of The Clinical Entrepreneur, I’m diving into one of my favorite ways for keeping things organized: office checklists. And trust me, they’re not just for the Type A personalities out there (you know who you are 😆). Even if you’re more of a free-spirited, creative type like me, a well-crafted checklist can be a complete game-changer for your practice.
Here are just a few of the benefits:
-
Greater consistency ✅
-
Fewer things fall through the cracks ⏳
-
Decreased errors 🙌
-
And a whole lot more sanity!
Whether you’re a solo practitioner or you have a robust full team, having a library of checklists will streamline your office, enhance your efficiency, and improve patient care - all with just a few simple checklists!
Here’s What You’ll Learn:
✨ Why your brain LOVES a good checklist (spoiler: it feels good to check things off! ✔️)
✨ How checklists can improve consistency and cut down on errors in your practice.
✨ The four types of checklists every practitioner needs (yes, even you!).
✨ Easy ways to implement them without overcomplicating things.
✨ How checklists create accountability and reduce stress for both you and your team.
Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ Start Small: Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Begin with a simple checklist (like new patient intake or follow-up) and refine from there. 🛠️
2️⃣ Make It Yours: Your checklist should fit your practice and your workflow. Not someone else’s.
3️⃣ Accountability is Key: Use checklists to track what gets done and ensure that nothing slips through the cracks. 📋
4️⃣ Keep It Simple: Don’t overcomplicate! Your checklist should be a one-pager (no size 4 font required! 👓).
5️⃣ Bonus Tip: Leverage AI tools like ChatGPT to help you craft the perfect checklist for your needs. 🤖✨
Why Checklists Matter: Running a wellness practice is no small feat, but it doesn’t have to feel like you’re constantly behind the eight ball. By incorporating a few well-designed checklists into your daily routine, you’ll keep your team on track, reduce mistakes, and even save time. Who doesn’t want that?
