Changing perceptions, breaking barriers, and taking innovation to the next level through his training programs, podcast, and book.
The health care industry has developed to a great extent in the last decade or so, which has given new life to patients. Cutting-edge technologies and innovative services have now become the new normal for healthcare professionals and patients alike. James Neilson-Watt has contributed immensely to the growth of healthcare practices, and he is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in this space.
In his early days, James faced many obstacles. He was a young graduate struggling to pay his rent, had struggled with severe generalized anxiety for most of his life, and had purchased a small practice with a loan from his mother-in-law so that he and his wife could stay in the country and have a chance at success. With his conviction that success was in his future, he pushed himself to learn everything he could on growing a business, to the point that he tripled his patient volume in three months and hit seven figures in revenue within two years. Whoa! That’s some achievement in a short span of time.
James firmly believes that there are numerous talented and skillful people in the healthcare industry, and although they understand their patient’s health problems and get great clinical results, their business results are lacking. Most of them, being health professionals and not entrepreneurs, are dependent upon other providers, marketing gurus, and agencies for referrals of new clients. After initially struggling with this himself and overcoming it by immersing himself in the business aspect of growing a practice and creating incredible results for his own practice, James decided to take the power from marketing gurus and agencies and give it back to health professionals and show them how they can have control over their success. His training program, Health Business Accelerator and his book and online podcast Healthcare Business Secrets have garnered much attention and recognition among healthcare professionals and practice owners.
Born and raised in New Zealand, James earlier worked as a chiropractor. Today, James is a successful health professional who has built a seven-figure online business, a young father of two young boys, and a millionaire before turning thirty.
A major turning point of James’s career was when he became the father of his first boy, which gave him powerful reasons to deeply believe in himself and gave him the confidence to take things to another level. This helped him to scale his training program from a small operation to an international company with hundreds of clients operating in dozens of health industries. James Neilson-Watt firmly believes his children and wife have helped him to recognize his area of genius and propelled him to be the most successful version of himself. He also mentions that Tony Robbins has been one source of inspiration and a constant motivator, which has enabled him to stay the course despite the ups and downs of running such a successful company.
