In this episode we discuss the things you were never taught at University.
Ash and I deliberately didn't plan or prep for this, as we wanted this to be organic and off-the-cuff. And exactly for that reason, it was a great chat as we broke done a bunch of different things which are super important to us, yet were never taught at Uni.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Misconceptions about what allied health is and what allied health is worth (from a monetary perspective)
- Underestimating being self-employed (client cancellations, annual leave, taxes)
- Session rates being proportionate and perceived client value
- The human side of working with clients: how we communicate and try to understand our clients
- Learning how to deal with and solve problems
- The importance of understanding socioeconomics and how that influences our businesses
- Charging what you are worth vs. what you think you are worth
- Marketing your products and business
- Being a digital company
- Why people need to know about your product
- Why it is so damn important to continually educate and upskill yourself
- It’s not what you know, it’s who you know
- The difference between doing courses to upskill vs. to feel better
- Networking and why connecting is a game changer
- Connecting with people that you can learn from and trade ideas with
- Why connections and having a large network will help you
- Why University offers a pool networking opportunities
- (Lack of) economics and business education in the allied health world
- Giving vs. taking
- Summary.
We'd also absolutely love it if you subscribe to the pod as it'll help us to continue getting amazing guests on for chats about all different topics.
