Overview
This course offers practical business strategies designed for health professionals — including physiotherapists, clinic owners, and independent contractors — who want to increase their income, reduce workload, and enjoy a more balanced professional life. Through real‑world insight, co‑instructors Karim Meghji and Paul Wright discuss common frustrations experienced by health business owners and provide actionable frameworks that help clinicians build efficient, profitable practices.
The material covers key systems and business principles that apply across different practice models. Topics range from streamlining operations and enhancing team compliance to understanding essential financial indicators and planning strategic conversations with team members.
Why This Course Matters
Many health professionals find themselves working long hours without commensurate financial reward or work‑life balance. Traditional clinical training rarely includes business strategy, leadership, or operational planning — yet these skills are vital for those who own practices or work independently. This course equips clinicians with the mindset and tools to approach their careers as sustainable businesses, not just service providers.
Understanding how to build systems that generate consistent income, delegate effectively, and measure meaningful business performance helps clinicians reduce stress, avoid burnout, and create more fulfilling careers.

Paul Wright B.App.Sc (Physio), Dip. Ed. (Phys. Ed.), Adv. Dip. Business Management
Since graduating as a Physical Education teacher in 1987, and then as a physiotherapist in 1990, Paul Wright has opened multiple multi-disciplinary health clinics, closed a few, been locked out of one and sold some others. He has employed countless therapists and support staff, fired some and re-hired others.
Paul has been actively involved in clinical education around the world having lectured to over 25,000 health professionals - in the areas of program design, injury prevention, rehabilitation and business development and even found the time to win multiple titles as a competitive bodybuilder.
Paul Wright is living proof this “Ultimate Health Business Lifestyle” is possible.
At one stage he owned 6 successful Get Active Physiotherapy clinics in Australia, yet still spent more time at home than his wife preferred, never missed a school concert or sports carnival, and visited his clinics for only a few hours each week. While doing this he did not even live in the same city as 5 of his clinics!
Since selling his health businesses Paul now prefers spending even more time with his family and friends, at the beach, or at home working on the Million Dollar Health Professional Program, Profit Club, One on One Coaching, The Practice Acceleration Program, presenting live seminars and working on his most recent passion – The One Minute Practice program.
