The Predictable Practice Mastermind is four clinic owners working on their businesses together, with me coaching.
We meet once a month for two hours. The group is small on purpose. Four owners. It works because each person gets focused attention each session, and everyone in the room is contributing.
Each session is built around hot seats.
Each owner brings one situation they want to work through. Not a general topic. Not a vague update. A real situation. A decision you’re carrying. A team issue that needs attention. A money question you need to understand more clearly. A growth move you’re weighing. A recurring problem that keeps coming back.
When it’s your turn, the group works the situation together. I facilitate, ask questions, help clarify what’s actually going on, and keep the work moving toward a useful next step.
Facilitating the group is only one part of what I bring. I’ve sat in the owner’s seat myself. I’m a PT, and I built a home health company into a business employing dozens of clinicians before selling it.
So when we work through an owner’s situation, I’m not treating it like an abstract exercise. I know what those decisions feel like when payroll, staffing, capacity, quality, money, and your own life are all tied together. That’s part of why we get to the real issue quickly, and why I keep the conversation focused where it belongs, at the owner level.
When it’s someone else’s turn, you listen, ask questions, and contribute from your own experience. That’s not filler. It’s part of the work.
Preparation is what makes the format work. When each owner arrives with a specific situation, the group can dig into the substance quickly. You don’t need to have the issue perfectly framed. Part of the work is clarifying it. But you do need to come ready.
The value comes from the room.
The work you’re doing isn’t unique. Other clinic owners have made the hires that didn’t work, sat with the margins that kept shrinking, weighed the growth decision that looked good on paper. The room brings that experience into your situation.
When you bring your own issue, you get input from people who’ve worked through versions of it. Their input isn’t theory. It’s what they tried, what worked, what didn’t. Plus pattern recognition. Three other owners hearing your situation will see things you might miss on your own.
Three other owners hearing your situation will see things you might miss on your own.
When someone else brings theirs, the exchange goes both ways. You contribute from your own situation, the things you’ve tried, the patterns you’ve seen. A room of four owners brings multiple angles to every issue.
You also learn from watching other owners work through situations that don’t look exactly like yours. A staffing issue in another clinic may help you see something about expectations in your own. A margin problem may make you question how you’re reading your own numbers. The patterns travel, even when the specifics don’t.
Owning a clinic can be isolating.
Owning a clinic can be isolating. You’re carrying decisions and pressure that nobody else in your life understands the same way. The other owners do. They know what it’s like to wonder whether a staff member is the right fit. They know what it’s like to question whether growth is helping the business or just adding pressure. They know what it’s like to carry a decision longer than you want to admit. That shared context changes the conversation. You don’t have to explain every part of clinic ownership from scratch, and the questions you get back come from people who understand the work.
The room also creates a different kind of accountability. The other owners hear what you said you were going to do. They remember it next month. Not pressure. Not public shaming. A small group of owners remembering what you said mattered, what you committed to, and what you said you wanted to change.
Ron’s guidance has been instrumental in helping me grow my physical therapy practice. His vast experience as a physical therapist, successful ownership of a home health agency, and exceptional reputation made him the perfect choice as a business strategist.
Ron’s input has not only helped me avoid numerous headaches by steering me in the right direction with business decisions but has also helped me maintain a healthy work-life balance. His integrity, focus on personal growth, and ability to foster key relationships with patients, caregivers, referral sources, and other healthcare providers have given me greater peace of mind, confidence, and motivation to continue moving forward. Working with Ron has been one of the best decisions I have made.

The mastermind is for owners who want to do this work in a room with other clinic owners.
You want to hear how other owners think. You want your assumptions tested. You want to contribute from your own experience. You want a group where people show up with something to work on, not just check-ins.
You’re ready to prepare for each session. The mastermind works because every owner brings a specific situation, ready to use the group’s time well.
You’re ready to give as well as receive. The other owners will benefit from what you’ve seen, just as you’ll benefit from what they’ve seen.
If you’d rather have the work focused only on your business, one-on-one, then 1:1 coaching is the better fit.
Here’s how the engagement runs.
We meet once a month for two hours. Sessions are scheduled in advance so the dates are predictable.
Peer connection between sessions happens informally. There’s no required meeting schedule between monthly sessions.
Between sessions, you can reach me by email or text for anything that shouldn’t wait until our next call.
The commitment runs in six-month cycles. The group resets at the end of each cycle, often with the same people continuing into the next one. Members can leave or join at the reset point.
At the start of each cycle, you’ll have a one-on-one call with me, usually within a couple of weeks of your first session. We’ll cover your vision for your business, what’s most pressing now, and what you’re hoping to get from the mastermind. Toward the end of the cycle, we’ll have another one to check whether you’ve gotten what you came for, see how your vision has evolved, and celebrate what’s changed. Both calls are included. If something comes up during the cycle that needs more than a quick email, we can add another call.
Joining a mastermind group involves a separate fit conversation after the discovery call. We’ll talk about the mastermind, look at whether the format fits where you are right now, and make sure the chemistry will work both ways across the existing group. The conversation covers a few things specifically: appetite for peer learning, comfort bringing your own situations to the room, and whether your business is in a place where the peer dimension lands as help instead of noise. The group is what makes the format work, so we take the fit seriously.
Pricing depends on the engagement details, and we talk through it during the fit conversation.
The next step is a conversation.
If what you’ve read here sounds like the work you’re ready to do, set up a call with me.
We’ll talk about what’s going on in your business, whether the mastermind is the right fit, what the engagement would look like, and what it would cost.
It’s a conversation. It could be a no for either of us. That’s fine.
Not ready for a call? Start with the By Default Instead of by Design worksheet. It’s a short diagnostic for spotting the work, decisions, and responsibilities that keep landing back on you.
If it’s a yes, the work starts.
