Grow Your Clinic

Every clinic owner asks it at some point - sometimes quietly, sometimes in a full-blown crisis. Is this actually still worth it? In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, Ben Lynch sits down with Mic Rizk and Jack O'Brien to tackle one of the most important and most honest questions in clinic ownership. Mic shares the four dimensions he uses to measure whether clinic ownership is working - time, money, freedom and meaning - and the 12-month rule he gives himself before making any big decision in a trough. They get into what's really driving the current wave of clinic owners wanting to sell, why selling is rarely the solution to the actual problem, and how to use fear-setting to realise the downside isn't as catastrophic as it feels. Ben shares the story of Jenny, a member who couldn't walk into her own clinic without a panic attack - and where she is now. And Mic offers his practical treatment plan for getting out of a trough, starting with your calendar next week. If you've ever quietly wondered whether it's all worth it, this one is for you. In This Episode You'll Learn: ⚖️ The four dimensions of worthwhile - and why you probably don't need all four right now 📉 Why the trough is the worst time to make a big decision - and what to do instead 😨 How to use fear-setting to realise the downside isn't as bad as you think 🔄 Why selling your clinic is rarely the solution to the actual problem 📅 Mic's practical treatment plan - starting with your calendar next week 💡 What to do when you've drifted so far from your why that you can't find your way back Need to systemise your clinic?

Bec shares how she prepares her team in the week before leave so they're already leading before she even boards the plane, how she set up a single WhatsApp channel as her only point of contact while away, and how she stayed calm - mostly - when three resignations landed in quick succession while she was sitting poolside in Vietnam. Jack adds his NIFO principle - nose in, fingers out - and Ben shares why he doesn't have Slack on his phone at all.

How much should you actually be spending to get a new client - and how does your clinic compare? In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, Ben and J.O.B dive into clinic marketing benchmarks using data from real clinics. They break down the median cost per new patient across physiotherapy, psychology, podiatry, chiropractic, speech pathology and occupational therapy - including why a $109 acquisition cost for a physio client can be very different from a $121 acquisition cost for a psychology client. They also explore the role of mental availability, why your content can make your Google Ads work harder, and how to use clinic performance benchmarks to identify the one metric your team should improve next. If you're a clinic owner, practice manager, or allied health leader looking to improve your marketing ROI, fill your appointment books, increase practitioner utilisation, or build a more sustainable clinic - this episode gives you real benchmarks and practical ways to use them.

Your practitioners know what they should be doing - so why aren't they doing it? The answer usually starts long before they ever walk through your door. In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, Ben Lynch sits down with Michael Rizk - owner of iMove Physio and the Private Practice Apprenticeship - to dig into one of the most common frustrations clinic owners bring to Clinic Mastery: practitioners not doing the one percenters. Mic shares why the standards conversation actually starts at recruitment, how always having a job ad running for just $5 to $10 a day has transformed his hiring pipeline, and the I-language vs we-language distinction that led him to back himself over his own team in a hiring decision - and be proven right. They walk through Mic's three-column induction system, the six key time blocks every practitioner should have in their diary, and how to have the hard conversation with a team member who just isn't hitting the mark - without the fear of them walking out the door paralysing you. If you've ever felt like you're nagging your team to do the basics, this episode shows you exactly where to start fixing it. In This Episode You'll Learn: 🎯 Why standards start at recruitment - not the team meeting 📢 The $5 to $10 a day ad strategy that keeps Mic's hiring pipeline full all year 🧠 The I-language vs we-language hiring filter that changes everything 📋 Mic's three-column induction system and the six time blocks every practitioner needs 😬 How to have the hard conversation with underperforming team members without the fear holding you back 🔄 Why always recruiting is the antidote to being held hostage by your own team Need to systemise your clinic?

Every clinic owner feels the financial squeeze at some point. The ones who get through it fastest are the ones who know exactly where to look - and what to do about it. In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, Ben Lynch and Jack O'Brien unpack the patterns they see play out every year around end of financial year - the cash flow crunches, the freak-out meetings with accountants, the decisions that snowball. Jack walks through a practical framework for taking back control of your clinic costs starting today, from cleaning up your Xero data, to the 10% outstanding accounts benchmark every clinic should know, to the real difference between a cost and an investment. They also tackle the harder conversations - underperforming team members, when to get back on the tools yourself, leave policy disasters, and the $22,000 rostering saving one clinic owner found hiding in plain sight. If you're feeling the squeeze right now, this episode puts the control back in your hands. In This Episode You'll Learn: 📊 Why bad data is behind most clinic financial freak-outs - and how to fix it fast 💰 The difference between a cost and an investment - and why it changes every decision you make 📋 The 10% benchmark for outstanding accounts and how to get that money in the door faster 👥 How to diagnose underperforming team members and know exactly which lever to pull 🔧 When getting back on the tools is actually the right call for your clinic 📅 Why your leave policy and admin rostering might be hiding thousands in savings Need to systemise your clinic?

Nine out of ten practitioners will switch off the moment you mention PVA. So how do you fill your books, reduce white space, and get great client outcomes - without the numbers talk killing your culture? In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, Ben Lynch sits down with Michael Rizk to dig into the patient visit average conversation that most clinic owners are getting wrong. Mic shares the three-part clinical framework he uses to help practitioners understand why patients should stay the course, without it ever feeling like a push to over-service. You'll hear how Start with Why, the North Star Exercise, and the concept of 90% Better is Not Better completely reframe the rebooking conversation - and why that reframe is the difference between a therapist who gets it and one who quietly resists. Plus Mick shares how his Private Practice Apprenticeship program is giving young physios the confidence and clinical grounding to see patients for the full journey. If your practitioners are losing patients at visit three or four and you're not sure how to have that conversation without it landing badly, this episode is for you.

What happens when your clinic sale falls over 48 hours before settlement - because your own team decides they're not on board? In this episode of Grow Your Clinic, Jack takes us inside his real experience selling his physio clinic - from fielding four very different buyers with four very different valuations, to the moment his team torpedoed the first deal right before the finish line. Ben and Bec draw out the lessons that matter most for clinic owners, whether you're thinking about selling in the next 12 months or just want to build something worth owning for the long haul. You'll learn why the type of buyer matters as much as the price, how due diligence really feels from the inside, and why Jack says the best thing you can do today is aim at something - even if it's written in pencil. If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to exit a clinic well, this one's for you. In This Episode You'll Learn: 🏦 Why different buyers value your clinic in completely different ways 🤝 What Jack learned about team communication the hard way 🔄 How Jack rebuilt trust with his team and got the second deal across the line 📋 What due diligence actually feels like - and why it catches owners off guard 💰 How clinic valuations really work and why "part science, part dark art" is the honest truth 🎯 The one piece of advice Jack gives every clinic owner thinking about their exit Need to systemise your clinic?

Are your mentoring sessions actually developing your team - or are they just another meeting nobody looks forward to? In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, we break down how to transform the way you support and develop your practitioners, starting with one simple but powerful shift: ditching the word "supervision" for "mentoring." We unpack why this change in language isn't just cosmetic - it fundamentally changes the dynamic between you and your team. We dive into how to structure your mentoring sessions so they're focused, productive, and actually move the needle on practitioner performance, including the 1-3-1 problem-solving model that teaches your team to bring solutions, not just problems. You'll learn how to use simple tools like focus sheets and Slack prompts to keep practitioners accountable and prepared before every session. Plus, we explore how to measure whether your mentoring is actually working, from tracking clinician confidence and competence to gathering honest feedback from your team.

Do you actually have a budget for your clinic - and if not, do you even know where to start? In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, we break down why a budget is one of the most powerful tools a clinic owner can have, and how to build one that actually drives profitability. We unpack the real purpose of a budget - not just tracking what you spend, but creating a clear roadmap for what you want to earn.

What does freedom actually mean for you as a clinic owner - and what is it costing you to get it? In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, we challenge the most common misconception in business ownership: that freedom means more time off. We unpack why having Fridays free doesn't mean your mind is free, and why true freedom is less about escaping your clinic and more about designing it intentionally. We explore how structuring your week with constraints can actually unlock more mental clarity, why embracing responsibility often leads to greater fulfilment than stepping back from it, and how to reverse-engineer your ideal work-life balance by getting honest about your finances, priorities and what you're really chasing. If you're tired of running a business that owns you instead of the other way around, this episode will challenge how you think about freedom — and give you the tools to build it on your own terms.

Are you paying your practitioners fairly - or just paying them? In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, we sit down with Sara Siami, founder of The People Plugin, to tackle one of the most avoided conversations in clinic ownership: practitioner pay. We break down how to build a clear pay philosophy that aligns with your clinic's goals, structure a remuneration framework that rewards high performers without blowing your budget, and run performance reviews that actually mean something. We also cover the true cost of employment (hint: it's more than the salary), how to benchmark against industry standards, and the legal minefield of contractor vs. employee classification - including the sham contracting risks that could cost your clinic big. If you're ready to stop winging pay conversations and build a structure that rewards performance and protects your bottom line, this episode is your playbook.

Feeling uncertain about what the upcoming NDIS changes mean for your clinic’s future? In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, we explore what it really takes to build a financially sustainable NDIS clinic in a shifting funding landscape. We unpack why understanding your true costs per practitioner is essential, and how overlooking overheads and break-even points can quietly undermine profitability. We also discuss the risks of rushing into NDIS registration without a clear financial strategy, including the real costs of audits and compliance, and why preparation matters more than speed. You’ll learn how to strengthen your clinic’s foundations by getting clear on your numbers, refining your service model, and focusing on long-term sustainability rather than short-term compliance pressure.
