Andrew Jones is the go-to podiatrist for elite athletes and anyone needing particularly clever problem-solving for health-related foot conditions. He is recognised as one of New Zealand's leading podiatrists and runs the Waikato Podiatry Clinic. His business success has been built by following a Win-Win-Win Philosophy.

On this episode we discuss:

  • His transition from sheep shearing to feet, via a foot problem he sustained in the Rotorua marathon. 
  • Caring for your patients, but at the same time caring for yourself and your business. 
  • Running a successful podiatry business by using a win-win-win approach.
    • There must be a Win for the clinician: There must be satisfied with what you do and also adequate income.
    • There must be a Win for the patient: You need to sort out their problems.
    • There must be a Win for the business: It has to be a sustainable financial model, or it will go backwards.
  • Making sure the pendulum for business success doesn't swing too far, or not enough. It's about getting the balance right.
  • It takes money to buy the equipment you need to look after your patients properly; therefore, you need to charge the right fees. 
  • The importance of your mental health

"You can get everything in life you want if you help enough other people get what they want" - Zig Ziglar

  • Obstacles faced in New Zealand with limited health insurance, GST on podiatry and small population.
  • Why communication is key
  • The secret in the number four or less. 

"A confused mind always says no."

  • High-performance sports New Zealand
  • How you can build a strong following and engagement by sharing a patients journey, and why this is an excellent marketing idea for your social media pages.

Final Tip

You need to look after yourself as much as everyone else. You need to make sure you have some ME TIME.
