Using Practice Better Software is NOT a cost.

Let’s talk about a common mindset shift that can transform how you approach your business: Investments vs Costs.

When you’re running a business, it’s easy to look at everything as a cost.

That monthly subscription? Cost.

That fancy booking software? Cost.

But let me be honest with you: there’s a big difference between a cost and an investment. A cost is something you pay for that doesn’t give you anything back.

An investment, on the other hand, gives you more;

  • more time
  • more money
  • more freedom
  • more ease

Take a minute to think about how this plays out in your business.

Are there things you’ve been avoiding spending money on because they feel “too expensive”?

Let’s dive into an example that comes up all the time in my Business Club: practice management software.

I’ve heard many nutritionists say, “A booking system is just too much of an expense.”

And yes, some of them can be overpriced, but when you’ve got the right one? Game changer.

That £20-£50 a month isn’t a cost; it’s an investment that pays for itself over and over again.

Here’s how:

A great booking system doesn’t just save you time; it can actively help you make more money.

Think about it. If you’re spending hours each week emailing back and forth with clients trying to schedule sessions, or chasing down late payments, that’s time you could spend doing actual client work or marketing yourself.

Let’s say your system saves you two hours a week. If your hourly rate is £100, that’s £800 a month you could be earning in reclaimed time. Suddenly, that £50 subscription feels like a bargain.

My personal favourite is Practice Better.

And no, this isn’t just me singing its praises for fun - it genuinely revolutionised the way I run my practice. Here’s why it’s worth every penny:

  1. No more scheduling headaches. Clients can book their own appointments without endless email chains. I’ve saved countless hours just by automating this one thing.

  2. Seamless package tracking. I no longer have to remember how many sessions a client has left; the system does it for me. It’s like having a virtual assistant.

  3. Automated forms. Intake forms, feedback forms, you name it. They’re all sent automatically, which means no more admin panic attacks.

  4. Stress-free payments. Clients get payment reminders, payment plans are handled automatically, and I never have to have awkward money conversations. Bliss.

  5. Templates galore. I’ve got all my protocol templates and handouts stored in one place, ready to send with a single click. Imagine the time saved here alone.

  6. Supplement carts. It even creates Natural Dispensary shopping carts for me. One click, and my clients are good to go.

  7. Out-of-office notifications. When a client messages me late at night, the system politely lets them know I’m unavailable—taking the pressure off me to respond immediately.

  8. Google reviews on autopilot. It collects client reviews automatically, boosting my credibility without me lifting a finger.

The result? Hours of admin work saved every single month. And let’s be real: time is money.

My hourly rate is currently £170, and I’d much rather spend my time coaching clients or working on marketing than dealing with scheduling nightmares.

So, here’s the question: How much time are you spending on admin each week?

Could that time be better spent elsewhere? Because let’s face it: investing in the right tools isn’t just about making your life easier - it’s about making your business more profitable.
