So welcome to the practice of possible podcasts with your host coach JPMD. It's me

And today we're here with Jamie Shrier, a PT physical therapist, business owner, coach, dad, husband. I just found out that he's a tennis player and a golfer as well. Yeah, a little golf, little basketball. You know, I just love being outside doing sports. Cool. So I just want to remind everyone to, you know, we've been practicing with Possible for a while. And in order for us to get the word out, we want you to share the podcast with your friends, leave a review, let us know what you're

thinking about what you're wanting to hear. And that's just really how it's helpful for me to get the right guests in line and right topics. So today we're gonna have a discussion with Jamie Schrier who's a physical therapist based in Maryland, the Maryland area. And we came across each other online and I found that his story in helping physical therapists in their business is really parallel.

a lot of things that physicians go through. And I thought it would be interesting to hear his story, how he coaches his clients and his practices to practice impossible, right? He even has a course, I think, called Practice Freedom University, or Practice Freedom U. Practice Freedom U. And we'll talk about that, I'm sure. so tell us a little bit about yourself.

Yeah, so you you mentioned I'm a physical therapist by trade. I haven't actually treated anybody in man, so many years. So you probably don't want me touching you. But, know, I got in the business like most people do. I just had this passion, desire to kind of do my own thing. Bounced around a little bit beforehand. I was like, you know, I just think healthcare needs to be delivered in a certain way.

Coach JPMD (02:22.84)
So I went into business, know, bright -eyed, like, let's do this, ready to go. And in the beginning, it was great. You know, I was working with my wife. She was kind of my front desk and I was the doctor in the back. And a few years into it, you know what, that honeymoon period wasn't so fun anymore. We started hiring people, insurance started denying. It was more and more difficult to get people to actually pay their co -pays and deductibles and...

There was just always something going on. had to, you know, keep my smile and keep focusing on taking care of our patients. But, but the administrative burden just got more and more and it just completely burned me out. And then during that time, there was a freak accident and there was a fire in my entire place. my gosh. so I'm sitting there. I was initially excited cause I was like, good, no work on Monday. I was like, it was almost like a, it was like a, a snow day.

When I heard on Sunday like Jamie, I think your building's on fire. And I went, really? All right, good. I'm not working tomorrow. I mean, that's how bad it was. How much I just wasn't really happy doing what I was doing. So I had a choice to make either just get out of it, work for someone else, just get out of the profession, which I really contemplated, or just kind of figure out what the heck I'm doing.

So I decided to invest in myself and people and coaches and programs to actually learn the business of physical therapy, the business of healthcare. So fast forward nine years after that time in 2004 and in 2013, I actually removed myself from the day to day. I chose not to treat patients. I had a team to do that. I had systems in place, organization in place, financials in place.

And I actually played the owner role, the role I've always wanted to play. And, I shared my story on, a webinar or something, and a couple of people reached out to me and said, Hey, can you help me do it? And, one thing led to another. was in the coaching business. So fast forward 10 years later, I'm now, a business coach and I coach, healthcare, business owners.

Coach JPMD (04:45.706)
primarily in the physical therapy, pediatrics, mental health fields. And, I love it. And I'm just trying to impact them and help them achieve what we call practice freedom, which is actually having control over your time, your income and creating the kind of life that you want. So that's the story. So you, so the place burned down and I have to ask you this, did you have insurance? You learn a lot about what you have and don't have. So my cousin was my insurance agent.

Nationwide and I did not have I did have insurance But it was nowhere near to cover me what I needed and when I asked him about it he goes Well, who would have thought your place would have burned. my gosh, and I just kind of laughed it off and I said so you're right so you went didn't have adequate insurance, guess and so you Could have gone to different route. What made you stay in the physical therapy world? because it sounds like you you stayed in the world and

Yeah. job somewhere or? This happened in October, you know, in the fall of October and I didn't reopen until the end of February, beginning of March. Okay. So you did reopen. Yeah. I had a lot of time to think about things. Okay. And, just some deep soul searching. And I realized, I kind of looked in the mirror and said, you know, your ego says you think you can run a business, but there is nothing in your training that says you can run a successful business.

You're really good at what you do. mean, this is me talking to myself. I'm really good at what I do. I'm very talented. I think I'm one of the better physical therapists in the land, but I don't know crap about marketing. I barely understood metrics, systems, processes, understanding how to properly communicate, engage people. I really didn't know that. I just knew how to take care of a person that was in pain. So I said, you know what? I'm not going to give up. I'm going to learn.

And I'm either going to be successful doing it or I'm going to fail. But if I fail, I'll know why I failed right now. I have no idea why I'm so darn unhappy and why do I continue to work more and more hours and take home less and less. Like I couldn't figure it out because I didn't have any really training basis. So, so it sounds like it's similar to residency. So we go through residency training programs when we're not really taught the business of medicine. And then we are, we leave residency making.

Coach JPMD (07:11.342)
40, 50 to $60 ,000 a year to then making 200 or $150 ,000 a year, but not really knowing the business. who are you? Where do you see the gaps are in physical therapy training? Are they, are there business programs and are they doing anything to help that process? The answer is not really. I reached out in Maryland, I went to the university of Maryland and I reached out, I don't know.

10 years ago and I went to the person who I knew that the director that ran the whole program, University of Arizona School of Medicine. And she goes, Jamie, they're busy enough. They got enough on their plate. They don't need you. go, well, I'm willing to go there on my own dime after hours. And whoever wants to show up, I can share a little bit about business in case they're interested in that and all that. She said, no. So they said no to you providing some of that business hub in their school.

Free of charge or were you going to charge them? Free of charge. After hours, whoever wants to show, I'll just go down there. It's like an hour away. I'll just share some, some, some stories around business. Give them some perspective, answer any questions they have. She flat out said no. Well, and did you push, did you push her or did you, you didn't, just said no. No, didn't push it, but it told me everything about the school, the academic world, their job.

the same job in the medical school, is not to create this amazing doctor, is not to create this amazing... Their job is for you to pass the boards, period. That's the outcome of school. You pass the boards, you're a competent person, you're a licensed therapist, licensed doctor. After that, you wanna go into business, that's on you. They don't have time and the resources to teach you all about business. Now...

There might be a school here and there in the physical therapy world that might do a little more business. got nothing. I got zero. I take that back. I got, if you want to market your business, bring some jelly beans in a container with a sticker on it, bring it to a doctor's office and put it on their counter. That's marketing. And I went, you got to be kidding me.

Coach JPMD (09:33.494)
Yeah, I you know, I try to find I try to understand that whole concept, but I think a lot of it has to do with them not knowing the business of medicine themselves. So they're afraid to maybe teach it because they really don't know it and they don't want to expose what they don't know. It could be. I don't think it's that. I think there's X number of curriculum. And, know, when you go to school, the school is rated on, you know, initially, it's rated on people who pass the boards.

Right? I mean, they might read like a Harvard or something about the income our people may compare. Usually like MBAs might do that. I don't know about physicians, but no, I mean, I'm not here to change the schooling system. I just realized there was a huge gap between the haves and the have nots, you know, because, you know, I got lots of friends that are physicians that I've worked with physicians before and

It's interesting you get out of school and you get out of residency and now you have this kind of social status. You can't live in some broke neighborhood. You can't drive some piece of crap car. So you get out with all these loans and you have to live in a nice neighborhood and you have to drive a decent car and you're a doctor. have social status. So I can't tell you how many doctors I know who are just broke, who just have so much debt.

trying to live this thing and they try to maybe go in business for themselves. I mean, unless you're able to really make big money being, you know, orthopedist, know, know, neurosurgeon, like something where you can make so much more money, but you're making 150, 200, even $250 ,000 in most major cities. That's not enough. Not, not compared to what you went through and paid to get there. Well, it also depends on the expenses too, right? You can make that much money, but if you're spending, you know,

$500 ,000 a year borrowing money to, you know. Again, JP, it's that social status. Yeah, yeah. We call it doctoritis. Doctoritis, it's tough. So the solution is take that entrepreneurial spirit that you have to go into business and learn the business of business. Yes. And what I'm seeing right now in our field, and I know it's happening in the medical field, I see it around me as

Coach JPMD (11:55.148)
There is no middle -class anymore. There's really the small, small mom and pop that are just basically, it's just a job, but anyone slightly bigger that has employees, they're selling out to the big possible chains. They can't do it. So I'm here to say, look, if you don't want to give up that right, just learn the business. You can be profitable. You can be successful and own your time instead of being an employee working for someone else.

I can understand if you're in advanced age, you've been around the block and you're like, Hey, it's my exit strategy. I get that. But for other people, man, I think we're just losing that main street, you know, that entrepreneurism and everyone's just selling to the, to the big chains and it's just becoming a commodity. So, so who is your demographic? What's your, who are you servicing now in your practice? So we have a couple different, different demographics. we,

We'll serve the people in that half a million to a million. I call that stage two business. That's typically your overwhelmed operator. Regardless of the services you provide, it doesn't matter if you're a medical doctor, mental health, PT, pediatrics. The income level determines the problems you have. So if you're in that half a million to a million dollars in total revenue, you're still treating, you're still delivering care, but you also have a staff.

So you're also doing that, but then you're also trying to run this business and run the staff. And I nicknamed it the overwhelmed operator because you're overwhelmed. When you get to that million, $3 million range, you start to put in a team in place. You start to have some management people in place. You're able to leverage your time, maybe get out of patient care totally or somewhat. So the more money you're making, as long as you're organizing your business properly. So we work in that.

realm. I have several clients like, you know, between that three to $5 million, even a little bit more, but our wheelhouse is probably that half a million to two and a half, $3 million range. So you're not starting, you're not helping new PTs come out and setting up businesses or do you see that happening? I do help some new PTs. We do have people, you know, between that zero and four or 500 ,000. I'm not the kind of person that we're going to help you set up everything.

Coach JPMD (14:19.608)
We're going to set up your LLC. We're going to do that. Just take a course that says, here's a checklist of setting up. That's not really our target. I want people that are already in business. They've already taken that leap of faith. They already have that courage to say, you know what? I opened my doors, not I'm going to open my doors. Because that tells me a lot about the risk and the fact that they really are putting their money where their mouth is.

We then can help them grow. Too many people I've talked to, they keep thinking about it, like getting ready to get ready. There's other programs and courses that can get you started, but there's not many that can take you and then multiply your business exponentially. So of the, let's say a hundred PTs graduate out of that hundred, how many are going into private practice versus these big chains?

I think there might be 20, 20, 30 ,000 private practitioners out there out of maybe three, 400 ,000 therapists total. it's a pretty small percentage in the practice world. That's in 20 % then. heck yeah. A lot less than 20%. So this is a niche. mean, this is going to be a niche.

a market for you to... Yeah, your demographic of physical therapists, I still think it's like maybe 70 % female, 30 % male. Okay. I would say, you know, less than 10 % are going really into private practice. I'm guessing some of these numbers just from what I remember. So you're not talking about a ton of that entrepreneurial minded people going into private practice.

Most of them will work in outpatient or hospital or pediatrics or some other discipline. So I recognize on your website, there's five things that I saw on your site that you kind of focus on. And it looks like five pillars. So I want to know if you can go through each of those and kind of help our audience understand how you tackle each of them. think one is generate endless referrals. I think we all can benefit from that.

Coach JPMD (16:39.072)
as practicing physicians, creating an amazing experience. And that I think is just through relating with patients. And that's what I kind of do and hope help with my patient population. Hire the right people, solid team, and then creating financial clarity. I love to hear your thoughts on the financial clarity. So how do you generate, how do you help PTs generate endless referrals? So look,

Marketing is always based on relationship. know, in our program, just, you know, I'm not the most creative person in world sometimes, so just call it relationship marketing. So marketing is about relationships. Now, whether relationships in person like we're doing or over Zoom, or relationships through, you know, social media, it's all about connecting with other people. So if you want to create endless referrals, develop deep, authentic relationships with people. Whether it's word of mouth,

whether it's out there in the world of social or connecting with other specialists that have influence over your target audience. Yes, you could also connect with different platforms or different insurance contracts, if that's what you want. So it's really getting clear and identifying, well, who is your target audience? Who is your ideal?

a client or patient and you know, who has influence? We talk about, know, who do they see before they see you? Yeah. If you really think about that statement, who does your client see before they see you? Yeah. So in our world of physical therapy, they may see a doctor, they see an orthopedist, they see a family practitioner, may see a podiatrist, but you know, they may see a trainer or coach or...

or someone else in the school system if you're working with young athletes. So it's about developing that relationship and seeing how you can work together, how you can collaborate together, and how you can be an asset to them. Too many times people are going into these relationships as in begging people and saying, what can you do for me? People are tired of that. People are tired of people just keep, know, pitching them and pitching them and saying,

Coach JPMD (19:03.662)
you know, please, well, please send me people, send me people instead of developing a relationship that can last through the years. mean, there's, some people I develop relationships in the medical community. I'm still good friends with them now 20 years ago. I sold my practice in 2016. Yeah. But you know, that's what happens when you're really looking to create good solid relationships versus just a transaction. Great. Creating an amazing experience. How do you.

How do you create that? Experience is not just about you being nice to your patients. Experience goes much greater than that. Experience is looking at your business from your patient's perspective and you determining what kind of engagement and experience do you want them all the way through. So the minute they become connected with you, what is the experience they're having with your company, with your practice?

with your staff. What happens when they call your practice? Are they out hold forever? Do they call and have to get called back? Do they ever get called back? Like you get to design this experience for them. So there are certain key areas of any patient engagement cycle. One is the first time they interact with you.

wherever that is, it could be calling your office, could be signing up online for an appointment, however you have that initial interaction. The other is that initial evaluation or the first time they come in. So don't just leave it up to happenstance. Create that experience, create how you're going to interact, how you're going to engage with them. People love to know what's expected.

of them. People love to know what is going to happen. Do we do that for them or do we just say, all right, we'll see you on Tuesday at 12 o 'clock? Yeah. Yeah. You know, Do we send them a follow up email? You know, technology allows us to have much more engagement, but have that whole process automated. to the end user, to that patient, it's so genuine because you can make your communications and your emails and stuff very genuine.

Coach JPMD (21:28.334)
So, you know, looking at when they come back, if they're coming back again to your clinic, if you have something where they're seen a few times, in therapy, they're usually seen, you know, eight, 10, 12 times. So, are we checking in with that? You know, how are things going? And addressing if they're having any issues. And then the other big experience is discharge. And I know some docs, you're not necessarily discharging them, but you may kind of

complete an episode of care. So checking in with, know, how is your experience? Is their experience is good? When they're at emotional high, you want to ask them for review. Hey, would you mind, you know, leaving us a favorable review on Google or wherever you want them to leave a review. It's also a great time if they're, if they've had a good experience to ask for a referral. It's okay to ask for a referral. People are scared to death to ask for a referral.

If you're giving crappy care and you suck, I probably wouldn't ask for referral. But if you're giving great care and you deliver a great experience to someone, don't you think they probably know someone else? And if you think that they're just going to remember you out of the 50 million things that are on their plate and their mind and their advertisements that are coming, you need to cut through the noise and say, hey, if you really enjoyed our experience and you know someone else, I'd love to try to help them.

And you can do this again in an automated way using technology and some things out there. Yeah, it makes perfect sense. Go ahead. No, I don't mean to interrupt, just hearing you say that speaks to remaining relational because if you start to do that, you relate to them in a way where you are feeling that you've helped them and you can help their friends, you can help their family members. They're going to reciprocate that. They're going to want their family members to experience that.

And so that's part of the endless referrals. You can have an endless amount of referrals if you continue to remain relational and continue to communicate with them. Endless. And JP, this isn't an accident. People that get referrals, it's designed that way. So when you start looking at your business, get out of the weeds of it from you as a clinician. When you start looking at your business in a...

Coach JPMD (23:52.054)
and an experience that people are having every step of the way, like a fancy restaurant. You go to a fancy restaurant, high -end restaurant, that's a very different experience than if you go to Applebee's. I don't want to make fun of Applebee's, I know down in Florida where you are. got tons of Applebee's. They got some here too. But there's a difference if you're going to a five -star restaurant. There's no accident from the decor, from how they interact with you. Obviously, the food is good.

We think just because you have good food, just because you deliver great care, there's so many other aspects that people are judging their experience by. If we just take some thought and actually implement that, it doesn't take like a ton of money to do this. It just takes an intention to do it and an understanding how to do it. That separates you from any other place out there. So big, big pillar, big point is creating a great experience for people.

That's great. Hiring the right people. I know it's tough in this crazy COVID, post COVID age. How do you hire the right people? How do you find them? Hiring is marketing, right? When I share these stories with people and teach our clients and people about hiring, hiring is marketing. You have to look at the people as in who is your ideal hire, right?

What are some of the challenges and concerns and worries that they have? Putting yourself in their position, not in our position. We can question people all day long, why are these young people getting out of school? They just don't want to work. They just want to have all this time off and show up when they want to but get paid a fortune. If that's what you think, you're not going to attract good people. So understanding what their concerns are.

And then our job is to provide the solution. So if they work for you, how are you going to help them solve their problems? It's the same way we market to patients. We have to look at our potential candidates and future team members the same way. We have to look at it as how are we going to meet their needs in today's world? How are we going to solve them? If they're inundated with just

Coach JPMD (26:17.142)
unbelievable amounts of debt. How are you addressing that? Do you have tuition reimbursement? Do you have a way to grow in the company and make more money? Do you have special projects? Do you have pay for performance compensation plans? Like how are you addressing it? You can't just say, well, that's ridiculous. They're asking for too much because you're losing an entire group of people that you could potentially help.

A lot of them are looking for advancement, they're looking for mentorship, they're looking for professional growth. Those things aren't necessarily very expensive. at the end of the day, I believe, at least the really good people out there, believe they want to be paid fairly and they want to be a part of something bigger than themselves. That doesn't mean you have to spend a ton of money to do it. So this is what goes into your job ad.

This is what goes into the experience of hiring. This is what people are making decisions based about. They're making it about the emotional connection that's happening, not just the left brain, give me the most money. So again, we talked about the patient experience. What is the hiring and candidate experience that you're providing? You put a little thought into it, you add in some different things, you can attract better people.

and hire better people. I've seen it so many darn times, even just by tweaking your ad a little bit, you can attract a better person rather than just looking like everybody else. for that. That's actually really, really good advice. So financial clarity, how do you create that in a healthcare provider? I think financial clarity comes with you understanding the business of your business.

You know, what's a P and L statement? What's, you know, what's, what are your key metrics? What are key metric performance indicators? What are lead indicators? What are lag indicators? Like get out of the clinical world. Like as clinicians, we operate on metrics a lot. You know, we look at, know, give me a whole blood workup. What are we looking at? We're looking at objective measures. Why? Because.

Coach JPMD (28:39.852)
If we just based everything on subjective, we can get into a lot of trouble with that. Well, your business needs to be much more objective. We need to know what is the financial health of your business? What is the operational health of your business? What is the marketing health of your business? By looking at these specifically, these three areas, marketing operations and financials, we need to get ourselves, you know, accustomed. We don't need to love it.

I'm never going to say I love it, but we need to take responsibility because if we don't know that, then we're just abdicating that responsibility to someone else and hoping and praying they care about those numbers as much as we do. So we need to learn about those things so we can then create targets and expectations and know the financial health of our business within two minutes. This is how I was able to remove myself from the day -to -day aspects of my business.

I could press a button and I could see a report on every aspect of my business. knew what was going on. I didn't have to be there looking over anyone's shoulder. So that helps me sleep at night. knew what was happening. I knew what the business was doing next week or next month because I saw indicators that were showing me referrals that were coming in and how many were turning into different plan of cares and stuff like that.

Just getting yourself really in a place of understanding the metrics of your business, understanding just the financial, basic financials, like balance sheets and P &L statements. I think too many of us don't know about it and we struggle financially. You just have to know some basics and then surround yourself some really smart people. That's great advice. Now, do you still have a practice or you're just doing coaching now?

No, I sold my practice. I had about a million and a half dollar revenue, a couple location practice in Maryland and sold it in 2016. Walked away immediately. Most people sell their practice. They want you to stay on for two, three years. I told them, you don't want me to stay on because the business was running with really good people and really good systems. I didn't do anything day in, day out.

Coach JPMD (31:02.83)
So why would you need me there? And they had the other stock of the business. They had other management and smart people. So when you run a business, when you create a business like this, not only does it give you a great life now and gives you financials and control over time, if and when you sell them, and you're gonna sell at some point, but when you exit your business, it's going to be worth a lot more. So that's what I did in 2016 and just went full time into creating coaching, which again,

I still have lots of time and free time on my schedule for coaching and that's awesome. Created a very similar business model. Do you have a coach? Of course. I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't. I've had a coach since, I don't know, 2004. When my place burned down, I got my first coach and started investing a lot. And now my recent coach, I've had him for about five years now.

What's interesting, because most of what I learned from in business came outside of the medical field. Like 85 % of what I've learned came from financial, just business. And I applied it and adapted it into the medical world of how to use what these MBAs are talking about. How do I make it just real and practical in our world? So how often are you meeting with your coach? Because I also had a coach recently and kind of separated a little bit.

thinking maybe I need to be tweaked again. How often are you meeting with your coach? With my coach, we meet every two weeks. So I do do executive coaching with him and we meet every two weeks and it's for a while it was a little rough, you know, when you're meeting and you're you got a lot of stuff going on and I mean things are like in the moment there's there's some heated stuff going on and now I'm in a place where you know we're having great calls and

As long as you continue to have a bigger future, you need a coach. Yeah. Right. You one of my favorite quotes is the enemy of thriving is arriving. Entrepreneurs, true entrepreneurs never arrive. This is all a journey and the journey is the most fun part. All we're doing is focusing on the next milestone that we want to hit and impacting the next group of people we want to hit. That's what it is for me in this world. It's just impacting people that are just helping the world, but the best way you can help the world.

Coach JPMD (33:27.084)
