Ep 87 - Building Wealth Through Multiple Income Streams as an OT with Dr Tomeico Faison

21 March 2023

Today I spoke with Dr. Tomeico Faison, and she really blew me away in this conversation!

Do you think Occupational Therapists can only make money one way?...

Do you think creating wealth means starting one business and paying yourself a small salary?

 …Then you need to listen to this!

Dr. Faison shows us that creating wealth is absolutely possible regardless of background, education, familiarity or funds, and that you don’t have to have every step mastered or completely thought out before you get started.

We go over:

➡️Her background and how she was destined for entrepreneurship

➡️The many hats she wears

➡️How she created wealth and built several streams of income both in and out of OT

➡️That it is OKAY to want to make as much money as possible, when the goal is to give back to the community

 And much more.

 She is a WEALTH of knowledge, (pun totally intended.)

Ep 84 The Employee vs. Contractor Debate: Which is Right for Your Business

28 February 2023

As an OT business owner, it can be challenging to decide when and who to hire first!

(We have a podcast on that, btw. Click here to listen!)

Most OT founders will inevitably hire a contractor first. Contractors are typically paid a flat fee, pay their own taxes and have more flexible working hours and project timelines. Plus, if you’re worried that you won’t have the business to provide them (think Feast and Famine of clients any given month), then contractors seems much safer.

Once you hit $100K and over, are in the growth and scale phase of your business and team leadership, I recommend you take an in depth look at hiring employees.

I know it’s scary.

But there are major advantages to your company, including utilizing Key Performance Indicators to ensure the growth of the employee and the company.

Listen here to take this common topic from overwhelming to “ok, ok. It’s starting to make lots of sense!”

E83 -  Paid to Prosper: Maximizing Your Marketing Budget with Paid Advertising with Jackie Ellis

21 February 2023

Should you start paying for ads?

We’ve all seen them, we’ve clicked on them, but will they work in YOUR OT business?

Let’s face it - you’d use them, if you could be clear on a) how they’re different than organic marketing b) what type of strategy you should use and c) if they work! Because, you don’t want to be left in the dust.

And, as an OT you are the master of keeping your expenses down - but giving in services, trying to connect with MD offices and meeting with other health care practitioners for marketing leads takes a ton of time and hustle.

What’s the cost of paid advertising, how do I run them and is it worth all the fuss for an OT?

Listen to this episode to find out more with our guest, marketing and paid ad specialist, Jackie Ellis!

E82 - Outsourcing Success: Navigating the Hiring and Management of Virtual Assistants

14 February 2023

"You keep telling us to outsource, Trish. But, like, how?"

At OTs Get Paid we've hired many contractors over the years, and our real-life experience is front and centre in this episode.

You're overwhelmed, but don't even have the time to find someone to help - listen here for the steps to simplify!

E81- Rest as a Revolution - A Productivity Series

7 February 2023

Reject hustle culture.

No one succeeds until we all succeed.

40% of the Wealth is with 1% of the people.

Too tired to stop and ask questions.

Purposeful that we are exhausted.

Nap ministry and we can do hard things.

Awareness. This episode is about awareness and one step.

The step is a manifesto. What do you believe? What can you imagine? (Imagination can occur when you’re rested and free)

Manifesto - write one! (See Rachael Rogers)

OT yourself. Revolutionary. Start with yourself as a biz owner. Let it reflect in your biz.

Push back against capitalism and marginalization. This also pushes back against modern day feminism. Which taught us to be the best at the system.

Change the system. It’s a new paradigm.

You are divine already. Don’t donate your body to a System. We can teach you the tools - mainly supporting you through the experience.

It isn’t just a nap. It’s from the ground up.

Access to this choice is justice.
