151 Beyond the Treatment Room: A Manifesto for Success on Your Own Terms

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'

Welcome 🎉

Hello and welcome to the Treat Your Business podcast! I’m Katie Bell, and today I’m sharing something that’s been sitting with me recently, inspired by “The Hustle Cure” by Sophie Cliff. As a positive psychology practitioner, Sophie’s principles really resonate with me, especially around focusing on strengths rather than always trying to fix weaknesses. I’ll be diving into her manifesto for a different way of working, adding my own reflections and honest questions along the way.

Episode Summary 📝

In this episode, I take you through ten guiding principles for clinic owners who want to break free from the endless hustle and create a business and life that truly feels successful. I talk about why your definition of success is the only one that matters, building your identity beyond your achievements, quitting the comparison game, and challenging your inner critic. I also share why embracing who you are is more powerful than endlessly trying to fix yourself, and the importance of knowing that just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should.

Key Takeaways ⭐

• The only version of success that matters is your own. Don’t chase someone else’s idea of what success should look like.
• Build an identity that’s more than just your job title or achievements. You are so much more than your clinic.
• Quit the comparison game. Focus on your own path and do less, but do it better.
• Challenge your inner critic. Outsource when you can and remember you don’t have to do it all.
• Embrace who you are—your strengths, rhythms, and ways of working.
• Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. Protect your time and energy.
• Harness the power of future regret by making sure you spend your time on what truly matters.
• Celebrate your wins, no matter how small. What gets recognised gets repeated.
• Be in the season you’re in. Give yourself permission to slow down or focus as needed.
• Lean into what feels good. Sprinkle some joy and fun into your business and life.

Final Thoughts 💭

I’d love for you to pick one of these manifesto points and reflect on how you could live it out in your own life and business. Your one wild and precious life is too important to waste on someone else’s version of success.
