In this first‑person testimonial, a physical‑therapy practice owner recounts his unexpected path from being a patient learning to walk with a therapist to leading a practice with hundreds of remote employees in the Philippines. He describes the common challenges PT owners face—lack of leadership training and business acumen—and how he nearly left the profession. Encouraged by his wife, he hired a business coach, joined the Entrepreneurs Organization, and leveraged the knowledge gained to build a remote workforce, increase profits, and reconnect with his sense of purpose. The narrative highlights the transformative power of mentorship, networking, and strategic hiring in turning a struggling practice into a thriving enterprise.

Chapters

It's funny because I never. When I was learning to walk with my physical therapist, I never imagined there'd be a day where I would have hundreds of employees in the Philippines as a workforce to help support the industry. Like, it never. There's no way I could have ever figured that out. It was driven by experience. Having become a physical therapy practice owner, Ben. And then, like, going through the traditional struggles that every one of us go through. You know, I. I was really poor as an owner in terms of leadership and how to run a business. And, you know, none of us are really taught that in our industry. And so I. I considered leaving. I got really serious about leaving, and then my wife encouraged me to go hire a coach. You know, she was supportive. She's like, yeah, walk away. Let's go. Let's go do something else. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't have left the industry. I just would have walked away from being an owner and then gone back into trading. And she was just like, yeah, let's do that, or give it a year and go hire a coach and join a business networking group. Entrepreneurs organization is what I joined. And she was. Because of that recommendation, everything shifted. Because with knowledge came power, with power came profits. And with profits, I was able to more realize my purpose.
