324 - Podiatry in Singapore with Lewis Nurney

I'm Tyson Franklin and today; I'm diving into a solo episode to discuss a powerful concept known as the Proximity Principle. This principle highlights how our relationships are influenced by physical closeness and frequent interactions. By the end of this episode, you'll understand how this concept impacts your personal and professional life and why embracing it can transform your practice.

I'm talking with Lewis Nurney from UFit Podiatry in Singapore this week. Lewis is a dynamic UK podiatrist whose career could have started in the National Health Service, NHS, as many new graduates do. However, a single beer at a conference in Liverpool led to him doing a one-month student placement in Singapore, eventually leading to a move to Singapore and embracing a radically different cultural and professional landscape. This episode tracks a personal journey of growth and discovery and dives into the strategic decisions that define a career path.  You can connect with Lewis on LinkedIn, or you can email him directly at [email protected] If you have any questions about this podcast, you can email me at [email protected] The next 2-Day LIVE Podiatry Business Reboot: https://www.tysonfranklin.com/events/2DayPodiatryReboot2024 Schedule a FREE 30-minute Zoom Call with Me.

Simon Hrobelko is the owner of My Podiatrist Canberra and the nail surgery clinic Ingrown Toenail Care. Prior to becoming a podiatrist, Simon served in the Australian Army and spent 11 years as a Crime Scene Investigator for the New South Wales Police and the Australian Federal Police. Simon feels there are many similarities between being a CSI and a Podiatrist; both require good communication skills. You must keep gathering the evidence and asking the right questions, and everything will start to reveal itself. They call that Deductive Reasoning.

Are you sick of having a landlord and paying dead rent? If so, this episode might give you the nudge to start considering purchasing your premises, becoming your own landlord, and building long-term assets.  In this episode, I am joined by four podiatrists who have all taken the plunge into property ownership, and they would encourage every podiatrist to consider doing the same.   My Guests are: Jessica Haydock - Sole Focus Podiatry, Toowoomba, Queensland.  Jonathan Small - Health First Foot & Gait Clinic, Southam, UK.  Elan Silver - Silver Podiatry, Perth, Western Australia.  Chloe Wear - The Woodvale Podiatrist, Perth, Western Australia.  I asked them all the same five questions; however, there were a few random questions in between.  1. How many years did you rent before purchasing your premises? 2. What prompted you to buy, and was there a specific trigger? 3. From memory, were your repayments more or less than your rent or the same? 4. What are the biggest benefits of owning your premises? 5. Do you have any property purchasing tips? If you have any questions about this episode, you can contact me at [email protected] 2-Day Podiatry Business Reboot (26th – 27th July) 2024 – CAIRNS This is the best two-day podiatry training program in the world, and it has been designed just for podiatrists.

MORE DETAILS DO YOU THINK DIFFERENTLY FROM THE AVERAGE PODIATRIST?  If you do, you’re not alone, and most of my coaching clients feel the same way, which is why they chose to work with me over a larger cookie-cutter coaching company. My coaching clients do not have big egos; they are quiet achievers and like to fly under the radar, but they do want to evolve their podiatry businesses into something special, something they can be proud of and say, “This is mine”. If this sounds like you, we should talk. You can visit my website, www.tysonfranklin.com, for more information or use my ONLINE CALENDAR to schedule a free thirty-minute Zoom meeting.  After we talk, you will have more clarity on what is best for you and your business.  “I was a frustrated business owner for five years until I started working with Tyson. He helped me transform my business in a matter of months, resulting in an instant increase in revenue and the ability to attract and retain top quality podiatrists. Over the past three and a half years, working with Tyson has changed my life drastically. I was able to take time off to start a family, triple my business revenue, and finally achieve work-life balance. I highly recommend Tyson to anyone who is looking for a business coach.”  – Jessica Haydock (Sole Focus Podiatry, Toowoomba) YouTube Have you checked out my YouTube Channel – TYSON E FRANKLIN? 

The Mexican Fisherman Story contains a very important life lesson about productivity, creating a lifestyle by design, the sometimes-pointless pursuit of more, and asking ourselves WHY we do what we do each day and whether it aligns with our end goal. In this episode, I share my understanding of this story and why it is important to know if your employees are fishermen or bankers.  I also explain why a good friend of mine often refers to me as the Mexican Fisherman.  If you have any questions about this episode, you can contact me at [email protected] 2-Day LIVE Podiatry Business Reboot I truly believe this is the best two-day podiatry training program in the world; nothing else comes close, and it has been designed just for podiatrists.

Jonathan Small joins Tyson E Franklin on the Podiatry Legends Podcast to discuss a pervasive myth in the professional world: the idea that a business's location is the critical determinant of its success and fee structure. Jonathan debunks this, suggesting that the true driver of success is the business owner's mindset. He shares insights from his extensive experience, including the notion that prioritising personal happiness and aligning one's practice with personal values are more important than the business's geographical location. The discussion covers various examples, from restaurants in remote locations charging premium prices to successful businesses thriving despite being in supposedly unfavourable areas. Jonathan emphasises the importance of marketing, value proposition, and the ability to adapt and evolve a business according to changing times and personal growth. Tyson and Jonathan also share personal stories of overcoming discrimination, prejudice, and financial challenges, underscoring the importance of resilience, self-belief, and the impact of one's surroundings on personal and professional development. They highlight the necessity of surrounding oneself with positive influences and continuously striving for self-improvement and professional excellence. The episode serves as a reminder that limitations are often self-imposed. With the right mindset and strategic approach, podiatrists can create thriving businesses that reflect their values and goals, regardless of location.

In this episode, we discuss: How he became interested in reading body language.  Everybody wears some form of social mask Human Needs (such as feeling powerful, significant and accepted) Pretending not to be insecure Fears, personal weaknesses and insecurities It's good to look behind the mask without judging. As soon as you judge, you've lost. Selling to the human, not the mask Clubs, gangs, t-shirts, colleague rings, etc., are all part of needing acceptance. In social tribes, if we didn't fit in, we died or were outcasts Three primary and three secondary masks wear Significant - I make a difference Approval - I need permission Acceptance - I belong The most fearful BARK the most.     Anger: Is a secret desire to change something that we know is changeable How to Spot a Narcissist   Monitoring Blink Rates Secret weapons in business  If you have any questions about this episode, contact me at [email protected] or connect with Chase Hughes via his website, chasehughes.com.  Do You Think Differently to Other Podiatrists?  I want to let you know you're not alone if you do.

Do you believe there are good, bad and difficult patients, and possibly many variations in between? In episode 307, I shared my thoughts on good, bad and difficult patients based on my clinical and business experiences. As expected, some podiatrists agreed wholeheartedly with my comments, while others did not agree, which was great.  This prompted getting a broader perspective on this topic by producing a group episode with eight guests, split over two episodes – This is PART TWO. It’s important to note that my guests’ comments are their opinions based on individual beliefs, values and personal experiences; no one is right or wrong, and you have the right to agree or disagree with their comments.
