Taborstep

I've always been a dabbler. I'd call real estate signs, walk into businesses and ask about their story. I've got dozens of completed and half completed projects. Very few ever made any money.

But in 2020, Michelle and I had quit our careers and moved to Oregon without anything waiting for us. We started a home physical therapy business because she had a credential, and I was a engineering and consulting generalist with no local connections. We made money. And ReadyGO Physical Therapy paid the bills for years. 

We learned so much. It's a tough business, but not for the reasons you would imagine. Healthcare is a complex web of businesses and associations and it's so crucial to understand "who/what/when/where/why" of payments and Payor relationships. 

We learned so much through ReadyGO. We were very profitable as a mom and pop shop who did everyting. But I also realized that I wanted to own and operate a proper organization of people, processes, and system. 

I was literally reading the CARES Act when I learned about the SBA 7(a) loan program. I decided to learn how to acquire a business and immediately started networking and Searching.

Everyday I would jog (or walk) the 300+ steps from the base of Mt. Tabor to the summit. I listened to a lot of podcasts and made a lot of phone calls. "Taborstep" was the name of my acquisition vehicle. Basically, a reminder to keep taking the next step, and a homage to the place we now called home.
