Adam Gibson from Lifestyle Practitioner Academy tells NTPagesTV's Kat Tate that his role is to help practitioners run a successful business. This is all about setting yourself up with all the relevant skills and knowledge to be able to do this.
The full transcription of the interview is available below.
Natural Therapy Pages: I'm Kat from NTPagesTV, and I'm here with Adam from Lifestyle Practitioner Academy. How are you, Adam?
Adam Gibson: Good, thanks Kat.
NTP: How's the expo going for you?
AG: It's been great, a great bunch of people as always.
NTP: And you're doing a seminar tomorrow?
AG: I am. I'm speaking on the fundamentals of running a successful health practice.
NTP: Okay, fantastic. Now, tell me about your company and what you do there.
AG: Lifestyle Practitioner Academy is the name of the company. You know when you see practitioners who are passionate about what they're doing? Really, really good at what they do? And they finally got their business built up to a point where they think they're being successful, and on the surface of it, they're making money and things are going well? But you look in their eyes, and you see they're really quite tired. And by Friday afternoon, the level of service they're offering on Monday is kinda long forgotten.
So, we're in the business of helping those sort of practitioners to work harder, sorry, work smarter, not harder. And, really show them how to earn what they're really worth because I've willingly followed practitioners, and they're doing this great job for people that aren't being rewarded properly for. So, we're all about seeing practitioners out there setting their business model up to really serve them and, in turn, that serves the client, because clients deserve 100% of a practitioner's attention and focus and presence. And, you can't do that if you're working too hard.
NTP: Absolutely. So, is it like a consultancy thing, or do you offer courses? I mean, how does it work?
AG: We run a few different things. We've got an online training course, which is sort of an entry-level program for people who may be setting up business for the first time. We've got a mastermind environment like a coaching group. We get together once a quarter in Byron Bay. That's a great environment to get into, really good. So, there's leadership activities as well as your chance to network with probably the top five, ten percent of Australia's practitioners. And we've got one-on-one coaching, as in sort of an additional adjunct to that that's working with me directly.
So, this is something for everyone out there.
NTP: Yeah, absolutely. And have you got a website?
AG: We have. It's lifestylepractitioneracademy.com. Anyone who's interested to find out more about what we do can log on to the site. There's an opt-in box there; you can go on there and grab about 250 bucks with free business-building resources. So, it's like a seven-week course. You can find that, all the seven fundamentals, and how to build, grow and maintain a sustainable, profitable, abundant health therapy health practice.
NTP: Sounds like a great service and much needed.
AG: Absolutely.
NTP: Great! Well, thanks Adam.
AG: My pleasure, thank you.
NTP: Enjoy the expo.
AG: Yeah, you too.
