How to Turn a Profit from Your Team with Norelle Pratt

Practiceology "7 Questions in 7 Minutes" Podcast

Show Notes

🚀 Just released the latest Practiceology "7 Questions in 7 Minutes" podcast, this episode features HR expert Norelle Pratt. If you’re running an allied health clinic, this episode is packed with practical HR insights you can implement right away. Here are my top three takeaways: Track What Matters: Norelle recommends setting up a simple spreadsheet to track key metrics—think practitioner utilization, wage costs (including super), and revenue. Even a basic tracker can help clarify where your money goes and identify how each team member is really performing. Know Your Numbers Before Making Decisions: Many practice owners struggle with profitability because they don’t know their numbers (e.g., wage as a percentage of revenue). Norelle suggests using 40–55% as a general benchmark in allied health. Awareness of your stats helps with everything from pay rises to incentivising staff. Don’t Be Afraid of HR—Use It Wisely: You don’t need a full-time consultant if you’re a smaller clinic, but having access to expert guidance ensures your contracts are legal and avoids costly mistakes. Proactive HR support helps keep you out of trouble—without locking you into expensive, unnecessary contracts.

Just released the latest Practiceology 7 Questions in 7 Minutes Podcast featuring Stephen Franson, founder of The Remarkable Practice, to share strategies for building a scalable, profitableand remarkable allied health business. Whether you're launching, building, scaling, or planning your exit, this conversation is packed with practical insights for health professionals aiming to stop working “in” their business and start working “on” it. Including details of Stephen's upcoming "Remarkable Practice Immersions". Top 3 Takeaways: 🔑 Systems Are Everything: As Stephen explains, a business is only scalable, durable, and transferable if you have robust systems in place—for attraction (marketing), conversion, retention, team building, and collections. Without these, you’re just building yourself a bigger job, not a business. 🔑 Diagnose Your Constraints: Many owners try to out-hustle their way past bottlenecks, but according to Stephen , the only way to achieve growth is to identify and directly address your biggest operational constraints, not just work around them. 🔑 Wear the Right Hat: Being a health business owner means mastering three identities: the doctor, the operator, and the business owner. Each requires different skills and focus—knowing which “hat” to wear and when is critical for success.
