Spectacular Opening Ceremony To PPM Live 2023
If you’ve been to stuffy, corporate, and quite frankly incredibly boring events in the past… our spectacular opening ceremony acts as a HUGE reminder that we are NOTHING like that.
Our events are designed to not only give you incredible insights, proven strategies, and the key elements to growing your private practice…
But we also make sure you have a lot of laughs in the process – why not? Because growing your business doesn’t have to make you miserable!
Looking back to PPM Live 2022 last year, we started strong with an Elvis impersonator taking to the stage performing classics including Queen’s “We Will Rock You” and “Bohemian Rhapsody”, and this year, we’ve taken it to the next level!
PPM Live 23 started in style with an Austin Powers-themed dance routine which included a spectacular choreographed routine, groovy outfits, and Simon’s gold suit!
And we are very grateful to our 2022 Ultimate CEO Winner, Derrick Hines, for introducing Paul to the stage. He shared that one of the biggest reasons he keeps coming to Paul’s events like PPM Live is the invaluable lessons about growing a profitable private practice, plus the amazing conversations and networking with other ambitious clinic owners.
We wanted to start the weekend with an eye-opening performance, and something that’s VERY different from your usual Friday morning, and we think we put a huge tick in that box – wouldn’t you agree?
Session 1 – Shocking State Of The PT Profession: How To Protect Yourself From The Coming Trends, Tribulations & Turmoil with Paul Gough
If you’re confused and overwhelmed about the growth of your private practice and unsure whether you’re “winning”, this session was for you.
And it gave clinic owners in room, and those watching online, much-needed clarity over their progress.
Are you ahead or behind?
Do you spend too much, or too little on marketing?
Do you charge enough, and is your clinic lacking the most profitable services that are helping others make record profits (even through fears over rocketing inflation and a labor shortage)?
To help you answer these questions, Paul not only looked into his own clinics, but gathered data from 300+ other clinics, 5,000 podcast listeners, and 20,000+ physical therapists on his email list.
And with the crucial data points Paul shared, you should now be able to make much better decisions in 2024 and feel confident as you strive towards hiring another PT, opening a second location, or adding additional revenue streams to your business.

Session 2 – Advanced Lead Generation: Essential Elements Of A Non-Stop Lead Generation, Trust Making, Authority Building, Marketing Machine – Part 1

If you’re a clinic that struggles to consistently generate leads, you’re constantly worrying about replacing patients that leave, and its tumbleweed in your inboxes, the first session of this 3-part seminar was for you!
And it was hosted by Paul himself, a master of advanced lead generation who has successfully scaled a 4-location, cash-pay physiotherapy clinic in the UK – the place that has a FREE healthcare system.

Session 4 – Marcus Lemonis Keynote
If you were looking for inspiration and game-changing lessons from a business titan, Marcus’s session would have definitely ticked that box.
Marcus Lemonis is the owner of the billion-dollar company; Camping World which has locations throughout the US, and thousands of employees.
And is also the star of the CNBC hit TV show, The Profit, where he would go into small businesses and work with the owners on how to improve the profits of that business.
He’s famous for his line “People, Product and Process”, these being the three things he typically goes into businesses to fix.
As well as being a household name for his TV appearances, Marcus is a best-selling author, and international speaker who is a powerful presence on stage who can get into your head a little – like Tony Robbins – while being able to switch effortlessly to talking about finance, marketing and sales – like Kevin O’Leary.
Key Quotes
- "As business owners, we think we have to know everything, but the reality of it is, is that you don’t have to know everything."
- "The key to being a storyteller is connecting with people and having them really feel you. And the key to that is to be vulnerable."
- "The key to delivering tough messages is to do them with directness but provide the solution for them."
- "It’s better to have an average salesperson or manager, who is a great person and can be trained up. Rather than a superstar who can dunk, but everyone hates."
- "That fear of failure, of not being enough, never goes away for many business owners, and it’ll never go away, so you just have to accept it and figure out how to cope with it."
- "One of the biggest challenges we have is that we carry the baggage of previous relationships and endite the next person with this baggage."
- "It’s not cool to not have a plan. Don’t laugh about that shit."
- "We tend to really overcomplicate our own business, but you don’t have to."
- "Everyone has to remove from themselves that they are the most important thing. The business doesn’t need you, and it can work perfectly well with trained employees."
Marcus was a phenomenal presence on stage (and for the most part walking amongst the crowd) and provided the perfect end to an incredible first day of PPM Live 23.
A massive thank you to everyone in the audience who got involved including our 5 Ultimate CEO finalists, Charlie, Ellora, Jaclyn, Xavier, and Ricky.
We can’t wait to see you tomorrow in the room or to see you logging on tomorrow to watch live with your Virtual Event Pass.
And if you MISSED Marcus’s session, then your Virtual Event Pass also gives you LIFETIME access to all the recordings, so you can watch every highlight, key lesson, and insight into running a successful private practice clinic.
