Well, last year was one for the books.
Internally at Peak it was a difficult one. Our superstar team are great at what they do but last year, a lot of things we touched turned to crap, nothing was working. Don’t get us wrong we love a challenge, but we like to be working towards a big goal. However, working hard for no tangible results is soul destroying.
Why am I sharing this with you? Because during these phases in life, the brightest diamonds begin to form. On a personal note, it was born out of frustration at wanting to help pharmacies more. When I look around our office, I see such a smorgasbord of expertise. My troops are exceptional at what they do from marketing through to financial management. I have curated a team of qualified, forward thinking individuals who all have one thing in common, a passion for pharmacy. So, yes, we are making a small footprint with our clientele helping them with their bookkeeping, valuations and tax but we can most certainly be doing more. So, 2020 as much chaos it injected into my business, it allowed me to reflect and realign our focus for the future. That is why this year we are taking a huge (exciting) risk as a business to improve Pharmacy Owner’s Lives.
Introducing the Pharmacy Mastermind Program.
This is a first for community pharmacy in Australia. Pharmacy Mastermind is designed to not only substantially improve pharmacy profitability but improve the lives of pharmacy owners as well. Pharmacy owners who join this community will be part of a very unique group that will benefit from my plus 20 years of working in this industry, and the vast experience of the Peak team who have spent years seeing what makes a pharmacy be successful. Pharmacy Mastermind is not for anyone though. We will only work with pharmacy owners who meet select criteria.
So, let’s rewind a little as to how we formulated the idea of the Pharmacy Mastermind…..
Step number one in this process for me, was the time was right to take on a new mentor. One who would challenge me and push me into an uncomfortable space. Noting this was at a time in which we were at a low point. My mind was telling me “Heavens to Betsy, what on earth are you doing”. Not those actual words, but it would be very inappropriate to repeat what was said. So, on came Rob and Wendy and the beginnings on a new journey for me and for Peak.
As you will all well know, this thing called “change” is not easy. To achieve change though, you must go through an uncomfortable phase. The bigger the goal, the greater the degree of uncomfortable. It builds “character” though doesn’t it? This is what the last 6 months of last year was like for me. Financially and personally it was very challenging. There was lots of doubt and questioning if I was doing the right thing. But the goal of being able to make a bigger difference to community pharmacy businesses was personal. Surely, I can’t give up.
The whole reason I chose Rob and Wendy as they are both number 1 at what they do. They have no equal. And they can help take Peak from where we are now, to the top of the next peak. What we can see from the top of that peak, is making a bigger difference to pharmacy businesses and pharmacy owners. The start of this journey, though many would not be aware of this, has already commenced. Substantial time and cost from myself have been invested to get us to the position.
So, my experience with Rob and Wendy, has made me take a step back and review what we were doing for our clients. Of course, we will continue to offer our accounting services that we have always have but we need an anchor service that will ultimately change the industry. And that is why the Pharmacy Mastermind was born.
What Now?
Over the coming months, you will see that we will be releasing some informative resources. From our Speaking Pharmacy Podcast to our blog also some webinars, there will be content that will help you create a successful 2021. Please note that this content is only a smidge of the modules and mentoring Pharmacy Mastermind members receive. Our members will be very well looked after.

P.S- I really hope that this blog inspires you to take a step back and look at what you can do as a pharmacy to truly impact your customer’s lives. It is such a rewarding exercise to do 😊
