Ep 177; The Big Myth That A Smaller Podiatry Clinic Means Less Risk

November 18, 2025 • Lorcan O Donaile, Podiatry Business Coach & Clinic Podiatrist

"The Big Myth That A Smaller Podiatry Clinic Means Less Risk" is a conversation for podiatry clinic owners who don’t just want “more,” they want the right kind of more.

In this episode, I unpack why so many of us start a clinic with no real end goal, drift into a business we never consciously designed, and then feel disappointed when we finally hit our targets.

We’ll talk about starting with the end in mind – defining the income, lifestyle, and role you actually want – and why reaching a destination rarely changes how you feel inside.

I’ll dive into enjoying the journey of building a business, working on your mindset as much as your metrics, and why staying small doesn’t mean staying safe.

You’ll learn how to think about risk realistically, manage and mitigate it, and choose a clinic size that truly fits the life you want.
