Thrive Through Summer Bonus EP03 - How To Step Away From Your Clinic Without The Wheels Falling Off

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

✨ Welcome
Hello and welcome back to episode three of Thriving Through Summer! I’m Katie Bell and this is the third of four special bonus episodes for clinic owners who want to protect their profits and, most importantly, their peace this summer. Today I’m diving into a topic that really hits a nerve, how to step away from your clinic without the wheels falling off.

🎯 Episode Summary
I’m recording this at 37 weeks pregnant, having just been for my final scan. So, trust me, I’m living what I’m teaching! I’m preparing to step away from two businesses, and as a recovering control enthusiast, I know exactly how it feels to worry the wheels will come off when you take a break. If your stomach tightens at the thought of leaving your clinic, you are not alone. This episode is all about flipping that fear and stepping into real leadership, giving your team the chance to rise and shine.

The real issue isn’t taking time off - it’s preparing for it. Most of us send a few vague messages and hope for the best, only to end up answering WhatsApp by the pool or coming back to chaos. I’ll share how to set boundaries, create simple SOPs, and step into your CEO role so you can truly switch off and trust your team.

💡 Key Takeaways

• Decide now what you will and won’t be available for
• Step up into leadership and let your team take ownership
• Create a simple summer SOP - one page, clear roles, emergency contacts, and key processes
• Delegation is about developing your team, not just dumping tasks
• Your business should run without you in the room - that’s true freedom
• Celebrate your team stepping up and make this summer a leadership lab
