    EP714☕Is Growing My Clinic Going To Cost Me My Family? [Coffee with Goughy]

    In this episode of Coffee with Goughy, I tackle a question that sits quietly in the back of a lot of clinic owners’ minds: Is growing my clinic going to cost me my family? I talk openly about the fear that success means sacrifice, that pushing for more revenue, more margin, and more leadership somehow makes you selfish. And I explain why the real danger is not growth. It is building a business that depends entirely on you. We get into the difference between balance and counterbalance, why some seasons demand more from you, and how the real solution is building a team so the clinic does not collapse every time you step away. I also unpack the resentment that creeps in when your business model is broken, why undercharging does not make you noble, and how identity shapes everything from your pricing to your leadership. If you have ever worried that ambition and family cannot coexist, this episode will challenge you. Grab a coffee. Let’s talk about what is real. 👉 Subscribe to the podcast now – and never miss an episode that could change the course of your business.  🎙️ Paul Gough Podcast – https://www.paulgough.com/podcast/ 👉📘 Grab your FREE copy of any one of my six best-selling marketing books right here: www.paulgough.com/free 💬 Got thoughts or takeaways?  Share them with us!

    EP712🔥Every Time You’re Offended, It’s Your Fault [Paul on Fire]

    In this Paul on Fire episode, I break down why getting triggered is a decision — and why every time you take offense, you give away your power. If you want a successful life and a successful business, you must take full personal responsibility for your emotional reactions. I talk about why people get easily offended, how identity and inherited beliefs shape your worldview, and why the most reactive people are often the most frustrated with their own progress. When you’re secure and moving forward, you don’t get rattled by politicians, influencers, or people who see the world differently than you. This episode is about control. It’s about ownership. And it’s about asking yourself one hard question: How well are your current beliefs actually serving you? If you want more freedom, more income, and more control in your clinic and your life, it starts with mastering your reactions.

    EP711 Are You Building a Business… or Just Upgrading Your Life One Pay Rise at a Time? [PPM Live Dublin]

    Live from PPM Live Dublin, I’m breaking down why £50k is survival, £100k is upgrades… and £250k should be your minimum as a clinic owner. In this episode, I explain why the old game of referrals and “I Googled you” is over — and why the future belongs to those who build influence, not just transactions. We talk about: The shift from social media to interest mediaWhy followers don’t matter — but influence doesThe move from “I Googled you” to “I watched you”How AI gives you a massive competitive advantageWhy fixing back pain isn’t enough anymore Your competitors are asleep. The buying behavior of the world has changed. The question is: will you adapt — or get left behind? 👉 Subscribe to the podcast now – and never miss an episode that could change the course of your business.  🎙️ Paul Gough Podcast – https://www.paulgough.com/podcast/ 👉📘 Grab your FREE copy of any one of my six best-selling marketing books right here: www.paulgough.com/free 💬 Got thoughts or takeaways?  Share them with us!

    EP710 Are You Playing Small Because You’re Afraid Of Criticism? [PPM Live Dublin]

    In this session, I’m talking directly to clinic owners who are still waiting for perfect. I break down why good enough is still good enough, why perfection is usually just fear in disguise, and why your inability to be visible online over the next five years will wipe you out. Inside this episode, I share: • Why perfection is killing your progress • What’s really stopping you from going all in • Why most clinic owners don’t actually know how they want to live • The reality of risk, heartache, and responsibility as a business owner • Why if you deal with above-average problems, you deserve above-average income • The formula: Awareness → Action → Momentum → Progress • How to figure out your real number (and it’s not from a spreadsheet) I don’t believe you build a business just to pay bills. You build it to change how you live. To buy back freedom. To create options. To have the choice. If you’re a PT, physical therapist, physiotherapist, or clinic owner who wants more control, more income, and more leverage — this one is for you.

    In this special episode of The Paul Gough Audio Experience, I take the stage and deliver one of the most direct and thought-provoking talks yet.

Inside this episode, I break down: • Why 2026 will not look like 2025 • The rise of the AI-fuelled patient • Why most clinic owners are optimizing for survival instead of prosperity • The cultural mindset differences holding business owners back • The real reason you build a business (hint: it’s not just money) • Why marketing and sales must outpace hiring • And how to design a clinic that buys back your freedom This is a raw, unfiltered session designed to dismantle false beliefs and force you to think bigger about what’s coming next. If you’re a PT, physical therapist, physiotherapist, or clinic owner who refuses to settle for average… this one will wake you up.
