The power of coaching and the impact it can have on a business owner’s life.

The Problem

Ken Bush, the founder of No Limits Physical Therapy, faced a daunting challenge. His practice was getting steadily busier the last five years but was having difficulty recruiting and hiring Physical Therapists. Despite his best efforts, he was unsuccessful in his approach and didn’t receive one resume for six months.

The Results

Within just four months, Ken had received eight PT resumes, which meant he could finally meet his staffing needs.

He and his wife are also planning to have her hours greatly reduced being in the practice.

Because of the Executive Business Coaching Program, Ken has been able to successfully grow his practice, while enjoying a better work-life balance. His story is a testament to the power of coaching and the impact it can have on a business owner’s life.
