059 - Louise Reaney Podiatry Was Boring The Arse Off Me

Louise Reaney is a UK based podiatrist and owner of LR Podiatry. Without knowing, Lousie became an accidental business owner and with that came a surprising amount of stress, mental fatigue, exhaustion and as she explains, "podiatry was boring the arse off me".  But, this all changed three years ago when Louise made a conscious effort to do something about the boredom that had set in, resulting in her becoming a happy podiatrist who now looks forward to working every day.   On this episode we discuss: Changing her business name  Getting to the point of exhaustion  Buying an existing general practice Lack of time for CPD Being too frightened to take a risk and make the required changes her podiatry business needed. Becoming an accidental business owner Being busy does not equal success or profitability Feeling trapped and thinking is this what everyone feels like in business Why podiatry became boring   Increasing her fees, resulting in losing a few patients, but having more time, more money and being happier #PodsHealheels   6 Significant Changes That Turned Louise Reaney's Career Around  Investing in new equipment  Joined Facebook Groups (OSGO Healthcare) Attending an OSGO Live event and meeting Nick Knight - Ep 011 & 017 Jill Woods - Ep 020 Jonathan Small - Ep 06 & 044 Tony Gavin - Ep 02 Sending messages to the podiatrists that she met at the OSGO Live event  Getting a Business Mentor Attending OSGO Live a second time and meeting Diane Ashcroft - Ep 013 If you have any questions about this podcast, please email me at [email protected], or you can connect with Louise Reaney at [email protected] Show Sponsor is Podium If you want to learn how to get an edge over your competitors and receive more frequent Google Reviews, and how to keep all your online messaging in one convenient place, then you need to visit our dedicated sponsors' page at https://try.podium.com/podiatrylegends/ Newsletter & Events  If you'd like to be kept up to date with my next PODIATRY MARKETING WORKSHOPS and other EVENTS, please sign up to my NEWSLETTER.
