Ted Jedynak lives in Adelaide, South Australia and he is the Master of the Foot Mobilisation Technique (FMT). During our conversation, we discuss how Ted's mindset shifted from running a traditional podiatry practice to creating a 100% foot mobilisation business, and how this shift has led to him teaching and speaking all over the world. 

We also discuss:

3:30 - Working for himself upon graduation on a very tight budget and how knowing nothing about business didn't stop his enthusiasm. He didn't even know he needed a provider number. 

6:40 - Where Ted got his business knowledge. (McDonald's, Michael Gerber and other events). 

9:10 - Why he engaged in a business consultant/coach.

10:15 - How the frustrations of some patients not being able to wear orthotics lead him into foot mobilisation. 

11:30 - Marketing opportunity with FMT - patients had a problem (couldn't wear orthotics), Ted found the solution (FMT)

14:20 - His Greatest Business Lesson was losing his business and being throw out of a partnership. Almost overnight he lost his income and had no access to his database. Ted learnt a valuable lesson about having control over your own database. 

16:18 - Boundary between friends and business. Ted trusted him and never saw it the backstabbing coming. 

19:00 - Wisdom learnt from his Business Mentor.

21:25 - Why you must be willing to pay for a quality mentor.

22:35 - How some so-called business coaches do not have the runs on the board. 

24:40 - The 2003/2004 Telstra Business Award - Key Motivators

30:15 - It's a wise thing to look back and reflect on Your business - benefits of entering awards. It's not a popularity contest.

You will learn more about your business and will show you areas of your business that needs attention.

32:30 - Foot Mobilisation Workshops have evolved.

34:15 - Why FMT helps you stand out in a crowded marketplace. 

35:15 - How FMT became a world phenomenon

36:25 - Why he sold his practices and now concentrates on teaching FMT full-time.
