Unlocking Your Business Algorithm, With Brandon Seigel

Filed in Podcasts, Previous Episodes on August 18, 2022

In today’s business climate, we look to entrepreneurs to inject new ideas and bold action into top-heavy industries. This is especially true in today’s bloated healthcare system. In his new book, The Private Practice Survival Guide: A Journey to Unlock Your Freedom to Success, Brandon Seigel unveils the essential steps for creating and scaling a profitable private practice that delivers greatness.

As a seasoned private practice consultant, Seigel recognizes a commonality among these entrepreneurs — they’re driven by purpose, not just by maximizing profits. A challenge for many health care professionals, even after years of incredibly intensive training, is that they’re still novices in the world of business. Most have simply not been formally exposed to the fundamentals of entrepreneurship. As a result, private practices fail each day in America.

Seigel’s goal is to empower clinicians and help them forge careers as successful entrepreneurs in the midst of a challenging business environment.

He and Adam discuss the fundamentals that all private practice-preneurs must consider, including:

  •  3 strategies for defining your business algorithm so you optimize your business model
  • What common misperceptions and blunders can cause private practices to fail
  • How to unlock success through key strategies — hiring top-level staff, securing positive cash flow, pinpointing effective metrics and employing efficient administrative systems
  • How to evaluate your risk tolerance as it relates to your entrepreneurial spirit
  • Why it’s important to define a short-term vision you can execute within 1 year, combined with a 5-year vision
  • Why identifying your “out strategy” — or breaking point — will make you more strategic with goal setting
  • How trends and limiting factors of health insurance affect your practice
  • And so much more!

This episode covers the essential how-to questions — from defining a vision to developing a bulletproof business foundation. Tune in and learn all the steps necessary for creating a private practice that thrives.

Fierce Solutions to Company Cultural Challenges, With Edward Beltran

Filed in Podcasts, Previous Episodes on July 28, 2022

Open minds are required for success – new, forward thinking is needed to keep up with rapid and ongoing changes in the global marketplace. Leaders of organization culture change understand the crucial need for new, upgraded skill sets and growth.

For culture to be elevated, dated assumptions and veiled beliefs must be put away for achievement of the organization’s true values and goals to emerge. In many organizations, this means leaders must change – personally and professionally – to ensure a successful future.

Making changes in an organization’s culture often requires customized training so individuals and teams can adjust, develop, and plan for the challenges the future will undoubtedly provide.

It often means choosing the right leadership to develop the best culture for the organization and investing in that leadership culture. Doing so allies leader behavior with operational strategies and the result is an organization that is purposefully transformed to meet the complex challenges now and in the future.

Edward Beltran is the CEO for Fierce, which is focused on company culture, how to solve cultural challenges in corporate environments, and alleviating stress in corporate communications.

He joins Adam to discuss:

  • Leadership foundations for a thriving work culture
  • The relationship between stress and conversations
  • The “API for Human Communication” and what are the core elements
  • And much more!

Filed in Podcasts, Previous Episodes on July 26, 2022
