If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
If you’re a business owner in health, chances are you’ve felt this. Not just tired. Alone.
It’s not the long hours that break people — it’s the silence in between.
The mornings where no one sees you walk in.
The nights where no one sees you vacuum the floors.
The weight of responsibility that builds and builds and builds.
I’ve felt that. So have hundreds of clinic owners I’ve spoken to.
And yet, very few talk about it publicly.
This article is about physio owner burnout — and what we can do about it.
The Real Reason Founders Burn Out
People don’t burn out because they can’t work hard. They burn out because they’re working hard alone.
Health is a giving profession. We give to our patients. We give to our teams. We give at home. But who gives back to you?
In 2021, after scaling past $1 million in revenue in only our third year of trade, I hit a wall. My practice was doing great, but I was hating it. Luckily for me, I had a community - I was part of a group of owners, and we journeyed through thick and thin together.
The difference between my experience, and that of a solo business owner, or even a business partnership, is chalk and cheese.
The Big Shift I’ve Seen
The industry is fragmenting:
- More sole traders
- More mobile and home-based clinics
- More part-time and hybrid contractors
Independence has risen.
But community has disappeared.
So I built something that didn’t exist: not another Facebook group, not a content funnel — a real founder space.
What is the People Community?
The People Community is a room for clinic owners building people-first businesses. Physios, EPs, osteos, chiro, allied health — anyone building something real.
It’s a space to:
- Share wins with people who get it
- Get support through tricky decisions
- Learn from peers ahead of you on the path
What you get:
- Monthly 90-minute live sessions
- Structured group breakouts for practical challenges
- Live 30-minute Q&A with me
- Private community on Circle — not Facebook
No egos. No gurus. Just people building things that matter.
Who It’s For (and Who It’s Not)
✔️ This is for you if:
- You own a physio or allied health business
- You know where you want to go — and you’re willing to do the work
- You lead with ethics, heart, and humility
- You’re friendly, generous, coachable — and fun to be around
❌ This is not for you if:
- You’re waiting for a saviour
- You think networking = community
- You’re still blaming the system instead of mastering it
Why This Works
What changed everything in our first session wasn’t content. It was hearing someone say:
“You’re not the only one.”
From solo start-ups to $2M practices, everyone shared similar battles. When you hear your fears reflected back — and your stuck points solved by someone else — it creates clarity.
The Bigger Play
This isn’t just community. It’s leverage.
- Live events in every capital city
- Founders’ retreats for deeper strategic work
- Collective voice for funding, software pricing, and advocacy
The more of us who gather, the stronger our voice becomes.
