24.01.2022 Do you know why we mentally attack ourselves when things dont quite go to plan? When we have this idea of having to be better than others, we push ourselves without knowing how to properly channel that into positive self-encouragement. Leaving us to get out the old imaginary punching glove and giving ourselves a good whack. Learning how to cope with peoples feedback and ideally our own methods of managing failure can be crucial in how we move forward and become a littler ...milder on ourselves: https://maidalearning.com.au/bl/can-you-be-mild-to-yourself See more

24.01.2022 Do you know who your ideal client is for your business? In our amazing August Make It Session we took a deep dive into ideal clients, what is an ideal client and how knowing who they are can benefit your service Determining your ideal client allows you to further develop a specific marketing plan, identifies those that do and dont fit into that ideal group of people, and allows you to really hone in on what you want for your business moving forward and how to reflect that o...ut into the wider community. We encourage you to spend a little time really working out what type of clients you wish to provide therapy for and working out a plan to move on from those that are not your ideal clients and do not serve your business.

24.01.2022 Following the correct policies and procedures for your business ensures consistency in your work and a service others can rely on Creating an efficient system for your business can really set you up for the long term and create a more positive and productive work environment. We know it can be time consuming, but it is super easy to simply begin with creating a list. The great thing is, it doesnt have to all be up to you to compile the documents. Where you can, delegate pro...cedure development to staff that know how to correctly perform a task... Here are just a few ideas to get you started: https://maidalearning.com.au//creating-systems-where-to-st

24.01.2022 Without taking notice of new ideas and implementing change to enable growth, we find ourselves swimming around in a stagnant day to day routine. As allied health business owners, we made a commitment to make a difference in peoples lives. And by simply observing, we take one step forward and then two back in facing that challenge.

24.01.2022 Are you facing some form of physical or mental burnout? Understandably, as business owners, we tend to keep going, even when our minds or bodies are telling us differently. If you dont take the time out to occasionally disconnect from the hustle and bustle of it all, then you will end up finding yourself dwindling out, making it even harder to stay on top of your day to day routine.... Take some time out to re-energise yourself, even if its just for 5 minutes once you get home tonight before stepping inside. Practicing regular self-care will only help your body and mind for long term endurance as opposed to short term gain

23.01.2022 Endlessly researching what program to use for tracking staff timesheets and still not being sure which to pick? The Fair Work Ombudsman has created a free app for staff members to access and record their hours of work each day. This app is accessible for both Apple and Android users. Record My Hours app supports upcoming shift reminders, adds your roster to a calendar, as well as providing locations services for those on the move!...

22.01.2022 Currently, certain states of Australia are enforcing the mandatory use of facemasks when leaving a place of residence. Disposable masks are readily available from medical suppliers and chemists; however, we love the idea of creating reusable/washable masks for work and for home. These are not only easy to make (requiring a 3-layer design), add a little pop of colour to your usual office wear attire but also reduce the waste of disposables into the environment. If you are not... able to make the masks yourself, we encourage you to support a local business working tirelessly to keep up with the growing demand. In Tasmania, we no longer have restrictions around wearing facemasks in the general public unless caring for someone who is unwell. However, we have made sure to stock up some cute patterns and colours to continue making our own designs.

22.01.2022 Have you made a mistake lately? Not only in business but in life as a whole, we must continue learning new things to be able to adapt in a world that is constantly changing and make a difference, big or small, where we can We find the most impactful way to learn, is from the mistakes we make. Taking on board what went wrong, how it went wrong, and changing the course direction, to never cross that path again....

21.01.2022 Are you underselling yourself as a treating therapist? Talking about finances is generally a topic most people avoid! More so than ever when you are trying to express to your clients why they should pay a certain amount for your time and experience.

This way your brand is consistent, clients know what to expect when paying for your service and you... dont lose cash flow because of those awkward conversations.

18.01.2022 Are your staff learning the right way? As business owners, we want to build a confident, capable, and content team by encouraging further education and training.

13.01.2022 What a magical scene to wake up to this morning! Overnight, Launceston received quite a thick blanket of fresh snow for the first time in many, many years. It is absolutely amazing having our own little winter wonderland to admire through our office windows today. Local weather reports have stated, this is just the beginning

11.01.2022 Would you know what to do if someone said they werent okay? It is certainly easy to get swept up in the busyness of your own work-life balance and completely miss that one of your employees, friends, or family members might not be doing all that well. Particularly as a business owner and/or manager, creating a happy and healthy work environment can be crucial to someones wellbeing. Aside from the legal responsibilities, you want your staff to feel safe and encourage them to... speak up when they arent having a good day. We recommend seeking resources and support from people whose simple but powerful vision is to care and protect those who might not be okay. A great place to start would be visiting: https://www.ruok.org.au/work

11.01.2022 It is very hard to avoid over-thinking when faced with a tough decision! We tend to play tug of war with the pros and cons of how the situation will play out for much longer than need be because the fear alone of making the wrong choice swallows us whole. Accept that we will spend a lifetime making decisions, some not always the right one but it is how we learn from them to make a better choice next time that creates the everlasting impact!

11.01.2022 Lets not forget, the use of online tools can without a doubt help in managing a busy practice Whether it be for gaining employee satisfaction, creating a space for to-do lists and task management, or even the way to share information. The connection between your team being important, now more than ever, with so many working from home!

10.01.2022 Your work-life balance doesnt have to be a dream It is important to set boundaries between your work and personal life, otherwise, you begin to feel like you never have a second to stop and think. It is also very crucial to practice healthy self-care activities that benefit you long term as opposed to those quick fixes that make you feel good for a moment and easily allow you to get sucked back into bad habits.

09.01.2022 Without some form of goal or benchmark set, we can easily wander from the path that leads us to where we want to be... When setting these types of expectations, there is certainly a fine line between what we know is achievable and what can be unrealistic! If we set ourselves up for the near-impossible, we are inevitably setting ourselves up for failure. What may be possible in one moment in time, can easily change. So, we must adapt our ideas and expectations at each turn we make!

08.01.2022 Here is just a little memory from a year ago when Amy, Ash, and two of our amazing Maida Learning members Lauren and Katie had to opportunity to attend Brene Brown live at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. What a powerhouse of a lady Brene is and we couldnt be more humbled to have had the experience of seeing her speak. It really gave us further insight as to why and how we do what we do, and why it is so important to choose courage over comfort when leading, in any aspect of your life. If you havent already, we highly recommend watching Brenes TED Talk based on the power of vulnerability, followed by reading her book Dare to Lead, just to start you off

07.01.2022 If there was some kind of accident and a visitor to your business required CPR, would you and your staff know exactly what to do? As well as keeping up to date on first aid training, it is a great idea to add a CPR mask and info chart to the wall somewhere central in your practice. This chart outlines step by step instructions to follow if someone were to need resuscitation. The CPR mask case and chart can be brightly coloured, so its easy to spot in an emergency, and by addi...ng Velcro to the back, you can simply take them off the wall and transport anywhere. Both of these items can be purchased through any first aid education and medical supplier. Check out the chart we have in our practices here: https://www.aplhealthcare.com.au/xl-cpr-qr-resuscitation-p/

06.01.2022 Some of the most rewarding times you will have as a business owner come from the experiences you have with your staff.

04.01.2022 Are you aware of your competitors? It seems allied health business owners are either in the know or are completely oblivious to those that provide the same or similar service within the industry. Being aware of your competitors can certainly benefit you and your business in many ways. In some instances, you can build a great relationship and continue to work alongside each other to provide amazing products and services to a wider client base.... In other cases, knowing who is doing what can help you define your business, see what may need to be improving or what opportunities you may be missing out on. Then, of course, creating a database of your competitors will also certainly be beneficial in referring your clients on to the right provider to service their needs. Read this weeks blog share to find out more about how and what to record when it comes to those that are directly or indirectly competing in your field of expertise: https://maidalearning.com.au//your-allied-health-practice-

03.01.2022 Recently, we held our July Make It Session. You may hear us speak about these sessions often as we love to share with you some of the great topics that help our members MAKE IT in private practice. In this session, we discussed working out whether to grow your business or not? How to work that out? And what are some of the key points you need to think about when making that decision?... We see so many business owners struggle back and forth, trying to determine if they are happy where they are or are wanting to grow bigger. It can certainly be daunting; however, we encourage our members to reflect on their personal/work values and realign themselves with what they want long term for their businesses. Whether that be right in the middle of it all, treating patients and running a business, or taking a step back, knowing their business will run smoothly without them there.

01.01.2022 We consume knowledge and reasoning from so many types of resources that it sometimes can be difficult to make judgment calls without the support of others... This is not necessarily a negative thing; however, we should not completely allow others to influence our decisions. Rely on your own wisdom a little more and open the door to more opportunities

01.01.2022 If you cant measure it, you cant improve it If you were to take a moment to have a good look at your business, would you be satisfied with the progress it has made since you started?
