TIP 30: The Knowledge Trap: Is More Education to Improve Your Clinical Skills Helping or Hindering Your Business Growth?

In this episode, I dive into a common dilemma many practitioners face: the belief that more courses will make us better clinicians. But is this constant pursuit of knowledge actually helping grow our businesses or is it holding us back?
I discuss how better treatment outcomes can be achieved through proper business systems and strategies, and why investing in your personal growth will drive faster, more meaningful change—saving you both time and money while increasing your earnings.
We’ll also explore the money blocks many of us face when it comes to personal development and the importance of balancing education with smart business practices.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re stuck in the knowledge trap, this episode is for you!
