Here is where I’ll pull apart Tristan Bond in this review, and give you the lowdown if his Practice Acceleration training for Australians is any good. These ratings are based fundamentally on owning several businesses, and my immense knowledge in the digital marketing world.
Note: I don’t know Tristan personally. We have no business connection. All words here are my own, with no input from him or his team. We are not friends, nor are we competitors. You’re in a safe zone.
Hello from Joshua
Before I jump into the review about Tristan, I do want to quickly introduce myself. I’m Joshua, Australian born and bred. Whilst my entire family has chosen the medical route, I’ve chosen to build multiple online businesses and enjoy the laptop lifestyle.
Today I help people from around Australia get started on their journey through FREE content. You’ll discover how to build your own real online business, selling your own products to people around the world. Most people start with with me allocate 7 hours per week or less.
Tristan Bond overview
Tristan Bond is a great guy and really knows his stuff, though I can imagine lots of people have questions. What is the price for his services? What sort of results can I expect? Especially when you’re probably receiving multiple phone calls every week from other digital marketing agencies, even those not even based in Australia.
In short, Tristan Bond is a digital marketing guy who knows how to sell. If he knows how to sell himself online, he’s likely able to help you sell your clients online as well. It somewhat defies belief that you can double your income, and halve your hours, all when his ‘system’ is applied to your business. Read more as I get into those facts, and whether Tristan’s strategies will actually work.
I’m someone who has now invested over $40,000 in these masterminds, courses and workshops over the last 10 years. I smell BS a mile away. My blog even shutdown one company who provided piss-poor services to their clients, whose students I praise also for sharing their bad experiences here. I understand that Tristan’s course is expensive, so it’s excellent that you’re doing your research prior to investing.
Practice Acceleration Rated
Tristan’s premier brand is focused on helping business owners and aspiring business owners, primarily chiropractors, physios and podiatrists, to earn more money and work less hours. This is all through creative digital marketing techniques, and most of it is actually effective. Yes – you heard that from me, not Tristan.
I particularly like Tristan because:
- His Facebook community is very engaging
- Tristan knows intimately the industry challenges
- There’s a large volume of happy students worldwide
- He has actual experience in the industry, unlike his competitors
- The training materials are excellent, up to date and leaves nothing out
- The pricing is quite reasonable, when you consider the potential returns
The best mentors in the world give away 80% of their content. It’s the other 20% that you’ll be glad to pay them for. Go through Tristan’s social media channels, and you’ll see that he’s the real deal. It’s almost impossible to find a bad review about Practice Acceleration, simply because he doesn’t talk BS. You could say we share that common trait!
I could certainly go on, especially about his Podcast and range of free videos available. There’s plenty more that you’ll discover on the inside of Tristan’s community of actual business owners just like you.
The biggest question is, do the methods work? The answer is simply: Yes. Beautiful (mobile-enriched) websites that make clients want to book appointments simply work. PPC marketing on Google, Facebook and Instagram absolutely work. Search engine optimization and blog posts work. I mean – look what you’re reading and where you found me. I’ve reviewed the methods that Tristan teaches, and sure there’s some mild hype. But yes – they are effective for small business owners looking to self-manage themselves in the digital age. Yes – you can expect more clients due to his training.
Downsides to Practice Acceleration
That said, I do have to note some downsides. Otherwise, this review of Practice Accelerator wouldn’t be so honest after all. Many people really do appreciate my honesty and integrity, and this is why I’m still here blogging 7 years on from a standing start.
Whilst I said his course cost was reasonable, it’s actually quite expensive. This unfortunately puts it out of reach for some practice owners. This is the primary downside to his training. The upfront cost is expensive, though you’re likely to increase the returns in your business over time, therefore covering this cost (and then some…) through business growth.
Now if Tristan brought his price down today, his events would be 3x larger. His training would become so accessible. This unfortunately would mean that Tristan wouldn’t have any intimate time with his students, those excellent opportunities to knock out problems in person. It then becomes just about sharing content, concepts and note taking, and not about action for the students to take in person at the live events.
I like the workshop / intimate approach that both Tristan and his partner do provide to their students. You know – where you can bring your laptop inside and work in person. Larger conference-style setups aren’t really going to be useful, unless you can apply the knowledge right then and there, preferably with the trainer himself. Tristan’s really found the sweet-spot with the pricing, and he only wants to work with those with the desire to invest in themselves and their business. Remember that it’s only a one-time cost.
Also, it’s wise to remember that you’re probably already paying for a digital marketing agency and their fees. Their markup is HUGE! With Tristan, he’ll empower you how to do almost all the work yourself, thereby saving yourself thousands of dollars each year. And no, you won’t need any fancy tech skills. Tristan helps you, step by step. Doing what digital marketing gurus do is actually easy, as you’re able to find out from Tristan himself. Super win!
Alternatives to Practice Accelerator
There’s no one else in the industry that is so laser focused on the chiropractic, physiotherapy and podiatry and associated industries as Tristan. So much so, that I believe he’s #1 in Australia within this field. That said, there are some Australian and US alternatives that offer business workshops to a broader audience of business owners. These include….
- Marie Forleo
- Dale Beaumont
- Kerwin Rae
- Mark Bouris (sort of…)
That’s no particular order, and I trust all of these business mentors. Their content is broad for business owners, and none have worked in the medical specialist field in the past.
Don’t allow yourself to get confused too much, however. I’ve been stuck in analysis paralysis before, the person with too many business mentors. I do believe that Tristan is right for most medical practitioners who own their own businesses.
The FREE Gift
That said, there’s people reading this that are ready for change. Even a change of careers, especially when they hear the potential of building a business online, given that there’s only 8 working hours in a day. I have products that sell 24 hours per day, every single day.
I learned from my good friend Adam Hudson how to build an online business, primarily selling on the Amazon platform in the US. From this, I’ve built a range of ‘online investment properties‘ which are actually products. I don’t store anything at home, I don’t ship products myself and I have customers worldwide. I’ve helped hundreds of people get started through my blog, and most just spend around 7 hours per week learning the process.
If you’d like more information, as many people have, then you’re most welcome to register for the FREE 4 part training course. It’s the FREE bonus I promised from the start. Plus, I have plenty of resources on my blog too. Note: It’s all beginner friendly! It’s designed for the person who hasn’t really sold online before. There’s dozens in the medical specialist field who have taken the training, all desiring to build a business that’s irrespective of working hours.
It’s EASY. Click here to get the FREE bonus now. No BS, just straight-forward, realistic and honest business training from a fellow Australian.
You’ll just need to enter your email address to access this training, which is completely safe. You can unsubscribe safely at any time. Thousands of Australians have already taken this course online, since it’s FREE after all to start learning now.
Summary of Tristan Bond
Tristan is an excellent teacher, and his students do praise him. His training isn’t cheap, and he isn’t for cheap business owners. He’s looking for those who actually want real results, instead of being hassled by more digital marketing agencies. That said, if you want a teaser, he does sell small snippets of his training online through his website for low cost. An excellent starting point for the new student.
His workshops are for those who are truly committed to work less hours, and make more money. It is possible through having a digital marketing toolset, otherwise you’ll be sold every week over the phone on internet marketing, SEO and a host of other services. These such services actually cost pennies to produce, and Tristan shows you exactly how to do it yourself.
Here’s where I’ll hand things over to you. Do you have an experience with Tristan? Any questions on his courses / workshops or otherwise? I’ll do my best to answer them. The more technical questions will have to go to his team directly, as they don’t check my blog. I hope you’ve found value here, as many people have.
