Testing the ability to post pictures straight from my phone. Here's a shot of Paul during his interview with Channel 39 News this week. It was a neat experience. The news crew was impressed with all of Paul's knowledge and enthusiasm. It should be aired next week as part of a piece they're airing on the local high school volleyball teams and the main palyers' success, some attributed being treated at Valeo PT. Now we're hearing that the Sports Director was so impressed with Paul's little clinic that it's a possibility it may get its own little story (but who knows...). They were at the clinic for a little over an hour for what would show up in the volleyball piece as probably a quick blurb :) Either way, we have no idea who watches the WB News but good and free press is helpful no matter what!

We are currently working on expanding the clinic to a location in a new building across the street. No doubt we need the room. The question now is how big do we want to plan for that space? We have a couple of square feet options. We don't want to bite off more than we can chew so that we're constantly working overtime and stressed to make the bills. However, we want enough space to grow so we don't have to move in another 5 years. Each move costs money and time and brain work. There are so many variables and things to think about, we're really buckling down on the financial planning. Which is painful. There's a comfort to the current smallish situation. Debt is mostly paid off and we're just now getting the hang of processes and efficiency 3 years into the doors opening. On the other hand, people are rubbing elbows badly. Patients and the staff. There's so much energy and so many bodies in the clinic than was planned. Growth is a good thing but now we're talking about major changes which takes focus, time, concentration, and planning on our part and those are all things that are really tough to spare when there are only 24 hours in a day.

At any rate, something must be done. We have a potential landlord ready to work with us, we have submitted sketches to him for the new layout, and now we're talking $$. If you expect a clinic that's 5 times the size of the current one, you should expect 5 times the expenses and 5 times the focus and concentration and time. And that's scary.

Don't know when the little piece is going to air on the news (we're hearing something like next week). I'll be out of town but will have the DVR set to record it :)
