In episode 43, Gerda dives into one of the most misunderstood (and often controversial) topics in allied health private practice: Profit Margins.

With honesty and practical insight, Gerda unpacks why talking about money isn’t just important for your business, but absolutely essential for your ability to help more people, build a sustainable team, and create long-term impact.

From defining what a profit margin actually is, to explaining why percentages matter more than dollar amounts, Gerda walks you through the benchmarks, realities, and mindset shifts every practice owner needs to understand.

You’ll learn how to assess your current margins, what’s realistic for group practices (versus solo), and why aiming for 'just breaking even' puts your whole business at risk.

In this Episode, you will learn (among others):

• What a profit margin really is (and why so many practice owners get it wrong).
• The four levels of profit margin health and how to move from surviving to thriving.
• How to benchmark your business, set realistic goals, and avoid the common traps that keep allied health owners from building profitable, future-proof practices.
