Creating a disaster folder is an area I do a lot of coaching around, and it’s something most podiatry businesses overlook until a disaster occurs. Every business needs to create a DISASTER FOLDER, a place where you store all the steps required to quickly get your business back on track when something goes wrong, and believe me; things will go wrong in your business regardless of how much preparation and forward-thinking you do.
Why Do You Need It?
- It’s a great training tool for new team members.
- It reminds existing team members how processes work and what needs to be done when problems occur.
- It takes stress off the business owner and allows them to have a holiday in peace.
On this episode, I discuss equipment breakdowns, plumbing, electrical, and computer & email problems, but also what needs to occur when a key member of your team fails to show up for work, and you have a busy day booked already with patients and clients.
Having a disaster folder will help get your business back on track faster and stop your business from losing money. Anything that prevents you from delivering your service or product in a timely fashion is not good for your business.
What I talk about in this episode only scratches the surface, so please email me if you have any questions .
Podiatry Business Coaching
If you want to own and operate a Thriving Podiatry Business, there are four vital pieces to the business puzzle.
- Marketing – You need a well thought out marketing strategy, not just more tactics.
- Systems – You need systems that will support your marketing strategy and your team.
- Team – You need to develop a team culture that makes your work-life balance easier, not harder.
- Diary – Your diary needs to be structured in a way that maximises patient numbers and increases daily profits.
You have two choices: There’s the slow approach, where you learn by trial and error and do everything yourself, or you can fast-track your education and business success with one-on-one Business Coaching or join my next 12-Week Podiatry Business Reboot group coaching program.
