The Paul Gough Show

Today, in the final of four sessions leading up to PPM 2026, I reveal why the $2 million clinic everyone brags about is the one nobody should actually want to own. I pull back the curtain on the real numbers behind an "impressive" $2 million clinic, and I ask the one question that shows whether you'd buy your own business if it were for sale tomorrow I reveal the new scorecard I use to measure a clinic, and the profit zone that decides whether you're building real wealth or just a bigger headache I break down the three-engine blueprint I'd use to rebuild a clinic from scratch in 2026, and why most owners are scaling the exact opposite I share the seven-question test that shows whether your clinic is modern and profitable, and the "pizza in the fridge" mistake that keeps most owners stuck Book your seat now for PPM Live: https://ppmlive26.com/ 👉📘 Grab your FREE copy of any one of my six best-selling marketing books right here: https://physiofunnels.com/free/ 📲 Follow Paul here: 🎙️ Paul Gough Podcast – https://www.paulgough.com/podcast/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePaulGough 📸 Instagram: @ThePaulGough 🎥 YouTube: Paul Gough Media 🐦 Twitter/X: @ThePaulGough 🌐 Website: https://www.paulgough.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Today's show is part three of four, as we ramp up for PPM - and I expose why the "obvious" fix for a busy clinic might be the most expensive mistake you can make, and what to check before you make it. I reveal the hidden math behind adding to your team that most clinic owners never run until it's too late I help uncover the handful of places in your clinic where money is quietly leaking out right now, and what to fix first Book your seat now for PPM Live: https://ppmlive26.com/ 👉📘 Grab your FREE copy of any one of my six best-selling marketing books right here: https://physiofunnels.com/free/ 📲 Follow Paul here: 🎙️ Paul Gough Podcast – https://www.paulgough.com/podcast/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePaulGough 📸 Instagram: @ThePaulGough 🎥 YouTube: Paul Gough Media 🐦 Twitter/X: @ThePaulGough 🌐 Website: https://www.paulgough.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Today, I reveal why a PT sipping an iced matcha latte through a straw during a job interview is the least of your worries as a clinic owner. I show you the real red flags behind "unprofessional" interview behavior — and why it's not actually about the drink I discuss why the location of your own interviews might be secretly sabotaging your ability to hold staff accountable later 👉📘 Grab your FREE copy of any one of my six best-selling marketing books right here: https://physiofunnels.com/free/ 📲 Follow Paul here: 🎙️ Paul Gough Podcast – https://www.paulgough.com/podcast/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePaulGough 📸 Instagram: @ThePaulGough 🎥 YouTube: Paul Gough Media 🐦 Twitter/X: @ThePaulGough 🌐 Website: https://www.paulgough.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Today, I break down the real-world warning signs that you've hired a bad PT, drawing on over 70 hires and 15+ years running a physical therapy business. I point out the subtle red flags — from "it's not my job" to victim-mindset excuses like blaming pay demands on student loans — that separate great employees from bad ones I explain why professionalism doesn't guarantee good hires, and why interview performance often has nothing to do with who someone becomes 90 days into the job 👉📘 Grab your FREE copy of any one of my six best-selling marketing books right here: https://physiofunnels.com/free/ 📲 Follow Paul here: 🎙️ Paul Gough Podcast – https://www.paulgough.com/podcast/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePaulGough 📸 Instagram: @ThePaulGough 🎥 YouTube: Paul Gough Media 🐦 Twitter/X: @ThePaulGough 🌐 Website: https://www.paulgough.com/ Hosted on Acast.

In part two of four during the run-up to PPM, I ask the question every clinic owner avoids: would your best PT actually stay if they had other options? Here's what I covered: The employment deal that used to work, and why it quietly stopped working The six things great PTs are evaluating whether they say it out loud or not What actually makes people leave (and it's rarely the reason owners think) Book your seat now for PPM Live: https://ppmlive26.com/ 👉📘 Grab your FREE copy of any one of my six best-selling marketing books right here: https://physiofunnels.com/free/ 📲 Follow Paul here: 🎙️ Paul Gough Podcast – https://www.paulgough.com/podcast/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePaulGough 📸 Instagram: @ThePaulGough 🎥 YouTube: Paul Gough Media 🐦 Twitter/X: @ThePaulGough 🌐 Website: https://www.paulgough.com/ Hosted on Acast.
