Our Methodology

168

The Method

The framework behind every Smart Success Healthcare program — built for healthcare professionals trapped in the time-for-money model.

See How It Works
What Is 168?

168 is the number of hours in a week.

It's also the number of hours your patients have access to care, information, and solutions — whether you're with them or not. The traditional clinical model only earns you income during the ~40 hours you're physically with a patient. That leaves 128 hours of opportunity on the table every single week.

The 168 Method is the framework we use to help healthcare professionals build offers, products, and systems that deliver real value across all 168 hours — without trading more time, hiring more staff, or burning out.

The Problem

Why every clinician hits a ceiling.

The math of traditional healthcare doesn't work anymore. Insurance reimbursement keeps shrinking. Patient copays keep climbing. You can only see so many patients in a day before quality (and your sanity) starts to break.

When you take a vacation, your income takes one too. When your schedule fills up, you're out of capacity. And when you eventually retire, you have no asset to sell — just a patient list that walks out the door with you.

The traditional model trains us to grind harder. The 168 Method asks a different question: what if your expertise worked for you the 128 hours a week you're not in the room?

40hrs
The average clinician spends roughly 40 hours a week in 1:1 patient care — only 24% of the total hours in a week.
$0
Earned during the other 128 hours in a traditional 1:1 practice — nights, weekends, holidays, vacations.
76%
Of clinicians report burnout symptoms from the time-for-money model. The system is designed to break you.

The Method In Practice

Five vehicles that get you to 168.

Every 168 business is built using one or more of these five vehicles. Each one comes with a $1 blueprint so you can test the path before committing.

01
Online Offer

First Online Offer Blueprint

Best for
Clinicians with specialized knowledge they can package — a unique protocol, system, or framework.
When to use it
First income stream outside the clinic. Lowest barrier. Fastest test of market demand.

Example: A geriatric PT packaged her balance assessment system as a $97 online course for caregivers. 18 sales in week one — without changing her clinical schedule.

02
App

Digital Care App Blueprint

Best for
Clinicians serving patients who can't afford full copays — or who could benefit from a guided self-care option.
When to use it
When you want a no-code, scalable patient solution priced between $29–$97 that earns without 1:1 time.

Example: A pelvic floor therapist built a no-code app delivering her 12-week home program to women who couldn't access in-person care. $4,200/mo in revenue, zero added clinical hours.

03
Membership

Practice Membership Blueprint

Best for
Practice owners who already have a roster of clients but want recurring revenue instead of new evaluations every month.
When to use it
When you want to add $500–$6,700/mo in predictable recurring revenue from clients you already have.

Example: A clinic owner offered a $47/mo membership to her existing patient list. 73 sign-ups in 30 days = $3,431/mo recurring, before doing a single new eval.

04
Solutions-Based Offer

SBO Blueprint

Best for
Clinicians ready to charge premium prices for premium outcomes — and stop racing the insurance reimbursement clock.
When to use it
When you want to earn $12K+/mo from 4–8 committed clients instead of 40 rotating insurance visits.

Example: A sports PT built a $3,000 SBO around return-to-play for high school athletes. 5 clients, $15K in 60 days, half the patient load of her cash practice.

24/7 Conversations

Green Screen Video Marketing Blueprint

Best for
Any clinician who wants traffic — for any of the four offers above — flowing in even when they're asleep.
When to use it
Once your first offer exists. This is the marketing layer that fills the funnel 24 hours a day.

Example: An OT batched seven 60-second educational videos in an hour. Two went viral — 280K views total — and her $1 lead magnet pulled 3,400 emails in 14 days.

Honest Fit Check

Who 168 is — and isn't — built for.

The Method works. But it doesn't work for everyone. Here's a straight read on who fits and who doesn't.

For You If

You're done with the time-for-money trap.

  • You're a healthcare professional with clinical expertise patients pay for
  • You want freedom from trading every hour for a paycheck
  • You're willing to learn business, marketing, and offer-building skills you didn't get in school
  • You can invest at least 30 focused minutes a day to building
  • You're ready to be uncomfortable while you learn something new
  • You want an asset you can grow, scale, and one day sell
Not For You If

You're looking for a shortcut.

  • You believe success in business is just luck or timing
  • You only want to see patients 1:1 forever and never market your work
  • You expect six figures in 60 days without learning anything new
  • You refuse to be uncomfortable while building a new skill
  • You blame outside forces for your current income ceiling
  • You're not willing to invest a single dollar to test a single blueprint
