About the book

30 inspiring chapters to target success

We have divided our book into thirty easy-to-follow chapters. Each one is intended to target a specific aspect of professional and personal growth and steer you in your efforts, from creating a vision of what you wish to achieve, through to forming relationships, finding inspiration, setting out goals, developing your learning, and building a team – looking after your health, happiness and motivation along the way. Each chapter taken separately will pinpoint and work on a key area in your development. When added together, these chapters will give you all the tools you need to be the best that you can be in your field and beyond.

Key points to focus your growth

We break down each chapter subject into digestible advice and offer real-world examples of how we have applied these ideas in our work and lives and how you can do the same. We have packed each chapter with tips and strategies – many of which are straight-forward enough for you to begin implementing today – to help you unlock your full potential and inspire those around you. At the end of each chapter we summarise our thinking into several key points which will help you to focus on what you need to work on and keep in mind. These strategies have been honed over years of our diverse experience in the field and success within our industry.

Applying these ideas to how you work

We finish our book with a standalone extra chapter which brings the mindset and ideas of the previous thirty chapters into a pathway for how you run your practice. We focus on the types of patient you will encounter, how to market your services to them, how to keep them as clients, how to identify their needs and prioritise their care whilst building a business that thrives on customer health and satisfaction. We show you how to put just as much energy into looking after your teams and instil your values into each of the people you work with. We show you how focussing on the people you work with and work for are the key to profit, success and happiness.

Our services

Coaching

We believe that some of the best investment you can make into your personal development is to open yourself to learning from others. A coach can help you pinpoint areas of growth, areas of difficulty and help you to navigate the challenges you will face in your business. We have applied this belief to our own development: learning from and being guided by others need not be just a setting-off point: it can and should be a business-long commitment to improvement. Our coaching aims to provide you with tailored advice to enhance the way that you work.

Mentorship

A mentor is someone who has great knowledge and experience – someone from whom you can learn so much, based on their first-hand experience. A mentor can be an incredibly inspiring and influential force in your development. When thinking about working with a mentor, ask yourself if this person is someone who has achieved some of the things that you desire. Are they someone whose values and work work ethic you admire? Are they someone who can unleash those same positive values in you? A great mentor will help you to grow.

Power Hours

We know that some people have a lot of the big stuff figured out, but have smaller things that aren't working as well as they'd like. Or maybe there is a lingering problem that requires a different mindset; a fresh pair of eyes. We recognise that coaching and mentoring isn't for everyone, or that those people and forces might already be in place, but that it can sometimes help to bring in targeted and limited help for specific solutions. Sound familiar? If so, maybe our Power Hours can help target a specific area in your business and get you moving forward.
