In episode 51, Gerda dives into one of her favourite and most transformative topics, being how proper business planning, done the allied health way, sets thriving practice owners apart from those stuck in constant catch-up mode.
Gerda unpacks why generic planning systems just don’t work for the realities of private practice, and shares a practical, values-driven approach that brings calm, clarity, and momentum to your business.
You’ll hear why planning isn’t just about pretty to-do lists or new diaries, but a true leadership skill that anchors your vision, keeps you aligned, and helps you navigate the messiness of real life and business.
In this Episode, you will learn (among others):
- Why most planning systems fail private practice owners and what to do instead.
- The five key benefits of proper business planning and why it matters.
- How to create a planning system that feels good, inspires action, and keeps you connected to your vision (even when life gets messy).
Who This Episode Is For:
- Allied health practice owners ready to move beyond overwhelm and bring structure and intention to their business.
- Leaders who want practical tools to stay aligned, organised, and focused through every season of practice ownership.
- Anyone looking for inspiration to plan, lead, and grow a practice they can’t stop smiling about.
Tune in for a motivating, practical guide to planning for success - the allied health way - and discover how to make next year your most aligned and impactful yet.
