Lynn opened this center 10 years ago to be a caring, communicative haven for people of all ages to address their pain.

Physical Therapist, MSPT
Carl entered the PT world after he blew out his ACL in a basketball game. He kept looking for the right physical therapist to get him through his injury, but no one gave him the attention and care he needed. So he went back to school to study physical therapy, so he could become that missing link for injured athletes. His PT goal is to not just to reduce your pain but to get you back in the game quickly and healthfully.

I love it when people say to me:
"but Harry, it's not about the money." Really?! Do you actually believe that? Now I'm the first to support that money isn't everything. There are a lot of things that are important. I’m also not saying that money should be your sole...
In prepping for this blog, I asked Business Owners in my network what made them proud to be South African Business Owners.

It’s no secret that women have had to fight harder than men to become a legitimate presence in virtually every aspect of business. Thankfully, the gender gap is slowly shrinking on the corporate side, with more female executives in the workplace but women...

There are certain things you might have heard that are putting you off for buying a franchise. There may also be some exaggerated facts that try to seduce you into buying a franchise without thinking.
Here are some popular myths regarding franchises:

If you’re thinking about whether to start your own business from scratch or to purchase a successful franchise, there are pros and cons to both.
One of the first things to weigh up is the start-up cost. Most businesses take between one and five years to break even and reach profitability. Often, the reason for new ventures flopping is a...

Franchising is an excellent avenue to explore when starting a business. And whether it’s buying into an existing franchise or opening a new business, there are a number of things to understand and consider about franchising before beginning.

We all know Tarzan right? The freedom of Tarzan living in the jungle and swinging from tree to tree has been imprinted on our minds thanks to Disney through books, cartoons and more feature films that I can remember. But let’s explore Tarzan’s freedom a bit. As Tarzan swings from branch to branch he’s holding onto one vine whilst reaching out for the next. His progress is dependent on focusing on where he wants to go and in the momentum generated through his swinging motion...

Two months left in 2021 (fortunately four months for the financial year which is then still a third of the financial year). Worse yet, 32 working days before we close our office for the December break. If your life is anything like mine then it’s a little frantic at the moment. Actually no let me correct that – It’s CHAOS and OVERWHELMING. It is all self-inflicted but still chaotic and overwhelming.....

Spring Day most certainly crept up on me and all of a sudden there it was. I had to rush to buy some ‘Spring-ish’ flowers (as the friendly cashier put it) and organised a last-minute Spring breakfast at a nearby restaurant for the team. Whilst I wasn’t really prepared for Spring Day it did remind me of how excited people seem to get and how quickly our attitudes change....

As we celebrate Women’s Month it’s been interesting reflecting on our team’s performance over the past 14 years in South Africa. Whilst women make up only 30% of the total business coaching team of ActionCOACHes they comprise 50% of our Top 10 coaches. The average revenue of a female ActionCOACH Business Coach is also 19% higher than the total average of all the coaches and a whopping 36% higher than that of their male counterparts...

Fear is a great emotion and very necessary to ensure our survival. It is however just as good at keeping us stuck and not allowing us to act on our dreams and aspirations. Nowhere is this more prevalent than when wanting to venture out on your own into the big wide world of entrepreneurship. We need to balance the logic with the emotion to allow you to take a step forward.I’ve put together 5 easy ways of doing just that....

From the early days of the Singer Group (yes the sewing machine people) to the massive multinationals of McDonald's and Starbucks, franchising is more a part of our daily lives than we even know. The obvious ones are the food brands but think tyre companies, car servicing, fuel stations, educational support for children, even grocery stores – the list truly does go on and on...

As the world’s leading business coaching company, we’re constantly having to remind our clients, and then coach them accordingly, that a business is their chosen vehicle to serve them. A business should not be a trap where one ends up serving the business or becoming a slave to the business. The right business should support you, your dreams, your goals and your future aspirations...

Conventional business looks at sales from the standpoint of three variables, namely sales, expenses and profits defined by the formula: Sales - Expenses = Profits.
In this narrow approach, each variable depends on the other forcing businesses to look at either increasing sales or decreasing expenses in order to influence profitability...

“The robots are coming and they’re going to take over our world!” We’ve hardly got to grips with the 4th Industrial Revolution and there’s already the 5th Industrial Revolution being bandied about. People everywhere are trying to cope with, and understand, everything from the Internet of Things...

Sadly many entrepreneurs simply end up living out the till. When the till has more money in it, they live a little better and when the till has nothing … well you get the picture. When considering going into any business for yourself you should, actually no you MUST, focus on two critical elements....

There is a lot of information out there on franchising; yet most people still don’t really know what it’s all about. There are great examples, sadly some horror stories, well-known facts, reputable brands, fly-by-nights, perceptions, assumptions and it’s all enough to get one quite confused...

In our post-industrial world this was how most people grew up and how we were indoctrinated into what the world’s view of success and a good life looked like: Pay attention in class, Study hard to get good grades, Get a tertiary degree at a top university, Find a great job at a corporate company...

When engaging with new potential ActionCOACH candidates I’m often asked: ‘What are the requirements for becoming an ActionCOACH?” The answer is always the same. “It depends.” It depends because the answer is less of a checklist, to tick-off, and more of a combination of the right factors...

The franchise market is an attractive growth strategy for business owners. And while the local market is thriving with an estimated turnover of R587 billion, it’s no guarantee that it will be easy to succeed. That said, if you are thinking about expanding your...
