Hi, it’s Katie Bell here, welcoming you to another episode of the Treat Your Business podcast. A special hello to all our new listeners I met at Therapy Expo last week. It was so lovely meeting you, and I’m thrilled you’re here.

If you’re listening while juggling a million things, in the car, or sneaking a rare quiet moment, I’m so grateful you’ve chosen to spend these next 20 minutes with me.

This episode is kicking off a mini-series focused on strategic planning for 2025. I know the year’s end is hectic—Christmas chaos, anyone? But now’s the time to pause, reflect, and start building a roadmap for a year that truly serves you and your business.

What We’re Talking About Today

• The Biggest Takeaway: You cannot grow your business between client appointments. Growth requires space—space to think, plan, and act strategically.
• Why Reflection Matters: If you don’t intentionally reflect and plan, you’ll repeat the same patterns. Let’s break that cycle.
• The Toleration List: Identify what you’ve been putting up with in 2024—both in business and life—and decide what’s got to go in 2025.

Key Takeaways

1. Make Space for Growth: Stop filling every moment with appointments and tasks. Create room for creativity and strategy.
2. Write Your Toleration List: Reflect on what you’ve been tolerating in 2024. What’s on your “no more” list for next year?
3. Plan Beyond Goals: Build a strategy aligned with your life and values—not just revenue and profit targets.
4. Face Your Fears: Growth means stepping out of your comfort zone, despite the doubts your ego might throw at you.

Exciting News for 2025

I’m thrilled to announce my upcoming book, Thriving: The Simple and Honest Guide to Growing Your Clinic. Launching January 14, 2025, it’s a no-nonsense guide packed with real talk, actionable advice, and my clinic success framework. Sign up for the priority list to:

Hello and welcome back to the Treat Your Business Podcast! Today I want to have a really honest chat with you. Let’s face it, running a clinic can be incredibly tough. It’s not all rainbows and pilates classes, is it? There are moments when it feels like everything is just too much.

In this episode, I’m sharing personal stories, some practical strategies, and a few hard truths about what it really takes to lead when you feel like giving up. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or just plain fed up, this one’s for you.

So, make yourself a brew, take a deep breath, and let’s dive in.

What’s Covered in This Episode?

• You’re Not Alone
  Every clinic owner I know has hit that wall at some point. I’ve been there myself. Whether it’s demanding clients, team challenges, or financial pressures, those moments of “I can’t do this anymore” are more common than you think. It’s okay to feel this way.
• Reality Check on Leadership
  Let’s talk about what it really means to be a leader. It’s emotional, messy, and sometimes downright exhausting. But here’s the thing: your feelings don’t define your ability to lead. It’s what you do next that matters.
• Actionable Strategies
  I share the exact steps I’ve taken (and still take) when everything feels like it’s falling apart:
  • Pause and Brain Dump: Get everything out of your head and onto paper. You can’t tackle the overwhelm until you know what’s actually causing it.
  • Break the Isolation: Talk to someone who gets it—a mentor, a trusted friend, or even a business group. Leaning on others isn’t a weakness; it’s a strength.
  • Focus on Small Wins: Start each day by celebrating three small victories. Progress happens one step at a time, even if it feels slow.
  • Reconnect with Your Why: Remind yourself why you started your clinic. Read your reviews and remember the impact you’re having on people’s lives.
  • Let Go of What No Longer Serves You: Whether it’s outdated services, inefficient systems, or even toxic team members, sometimes you’ve got to make tough decisions to move forward.

Key Takeaways

1. Leadership isn’t about doing it all. It’s about doing what matters most.
2. Feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re failing; it means you care.
3. Progress is built one small step at a time, so focus on the next brick in your wall.
4. You’re not alone. Whether it’s reaching out to your team, a community, or your business coach, support is there if you ask for it.
5. Tough times don’t last, but tough leaders do.

Hi there, and welcome to this week’s episode of Treat Your Business! I’m Katie, and today, we’re diving into one of the most universal but often unspoken challenges among high achievers—imposter syndrome. It’s that inner voice that makes us doubt our accomplishments, no matter how much we’ve achieved. If you’ve ever questioned your worth, felt like you don’t deserve success, or found yourself caught in cycles of perfectionism or self-doubt, this episode is for you.

Episode Summary:

In this episode, we explore the roots and realities of imposter syndrome—what it is, why it shows up, and how it holds us back from reaching our full potential in business and life. Katie shares her personal journey with imposter syndrome, recounting moments of self-doubt, overachievement, and the struggle to embrace success fully. She discusses the subconscious behaviours that lead to self-sabotage and shares insights from coaching hundreds of clinic owners who experience similar hurdles. Through stories and practical examples, Katie offers strategies to understand and tackle these inner challenges, encouraging listeners to recognise their own worth, celebrate their achievements, and avoid the perfectionism trap.

Katie also dives into the "7 out of 10" principle, a practical approach for combating procrastination by embracing “good enough” rather than perfection, and the importance of avoiding comparison. We explore specific ways to cultivate a mindset of abundance, embrace our achievements, and surround ourselves with supportive people, like coaches, who can help us overcome imposter syndrome’s effects on our confidence and business growth.

Key Takeaways:

• Recognise Imposter Syndrome: Understand what it is and why many high achievers experience it.
• Embrace Imperfection: Aim for a "7 out of 10" rather than perfection to keep moving forward.
• Celebrate Success: Take time to acknowledge achievements rather than focusing solely on what’s left to do.
• Avoid Comparison: Unfollow competitors and focus on your unique strengths and value.
• Surround Yourself with Support: Seek mentors, coaches, and people who uplift and inspire you.
• Shift from Fear to Abundance: Reframe risk and opportunity to break free from self-doubt and fear of failure.

Thank you for joining me on Treat Your Business! If this episode resonated with you, please consider leaving a review or sharing it with someone who might need a little boost of confidence today.

Hi, I’m Katie Bell, and welcome to this off-the-cuff episode of Treat Your Business. Today, we’re diving deep into a concept that could transform how you run your clinic or business: essentialism and the art of strategic sacrifice. As you gear up for the end-of-year madness, I’m giving you permission to pause, refocus, and invest your time where it matters most. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, spinning plates at a hundred miles an hour, or like you’re the lowest paid in your own company, this one is for you!

Episode Summary:

In today’s episode, we explore the concept of essentialism: the disciplined pursuit of less but better. Inspired by insights from the Expert Empires Conference and conversations with fellow clinic owners, I’m here to share why strategy is the art of sacrifice and how being strategic can lead to more fulfilment, better financial outcomes, and a thriving business.

We’ll discuss how clinic owners often struggle with having a master plan, leading to feelings of spinning plates endlessly. I’ll guide you through practical methods to focus on essential activities that drive results, like filtering out distractions, saying no with confidence, and making wise investments of your time and energy.

We’ll cover real trade-offs, like choosing between taking on one more client versus prioritising your personal well-being, and explore why being reactive is costing you progress. Essentialism is about structured, disciplined approaches, and I’ll share actionable tips, including how to manage your inbox, stop multitasking, and schedule your day like a strategic powerhouse. Plus, I’ve got a special resource for you on how the recent Autumn Budget impacts your clinic.

Key Takeaways:

1. Essentialism Over Multitasking: Focus on fewer, high-impact activities to achieve significant results.
2. Strategic Sacrifice: Saying yes to what truly matters means saying no to distractions.
3. Discipline and Structure: Success comes from having a structured plan and sticking to it, not from doing everything at once.
4. Efficient Time Management: Create a schedule that serves your goals, not other people’s demands.
