How Regie Tiu Built a Seven-Figure Practice From Scratch—and Is Now Helping Practice Owners Scale With Confidence

Regie Tiu didn’t set out to be a business coach or public speaker. After years of being a committed physical therapist, he found himself unexpectedly transitioning from employee to entrepreneur. Fired from his clinic job of over a decade, he borrowed money and started a private practice of his own. The result? A thriving seven-figure clinic built almost entirely through word-of-mouth and personal grit. But that’s just the beginning of the story.

In this article, we’ll explore how Regie turned personal adversity into professional opportunity, what makes his membership program uniquely valuable to practice owners, and the foundational philosophies that separate him from the rest. We’ll break down his path under four lenses: understanding buyer beliefs, his credibility as a voice of authority, and the successes that define his influence today.

Why Practice Owners Struggle More Than They Realize

Many practice owners underestimate how difficult sustainable growth can be without the right systems. Hiring is messy. Marketing is expensive. And burnout is practically a given. Regie Tiu saw this firsthand. He once lost 27 employees in a single year. Instead of blaming external circumstances, he turned inward—with a mission to develop a more values-driven leadership style.

In his flagship membership program, Regie now teaches clinic owners how to overcome these exact problems. He focuses on building scalable systems centered around culture and experience, saying, “Most people think growth is about getting more patients. But if your foundation is crumbling, that growth will break you.”

Through mastering hiring, internal processes, and building patient relationships that last, Regie’s methods aren’t just about more revenue—but better leadership. His clients benefit from actionable, real-world experience rather than abstract theory. The goal? Clarity, efficiency, and long-term ROI without the burnout.

Establishing a Reputation Through Empathy, Not Noise

Unlike many programs that throw around buzzwords and high-pressure funnels, Regie doesn’t teach what he hasn’t done himself. After building his clinic from zero—without ad spend, investors, or industry connections—he realized that success doesn’t require loud marketing. It requires trust.

Regie attributes his growth strategy to empathy and values-driven hiring. Each employee is put through a five-step hiring process that ensures cultural alignment. And patients? Many of them travel dozens of blocks just to see his team. Over 80% of new clients come from word-of-mouth and online reviews.

“We don’t have the biggest facility. We don’t have the fanciest tech. What we have is a bigger heart,” Regie says. And that’s the same energy he brings to his membership. His methodologies don’t just promise improvement—they model how to show up with integrity every step of the way.

Why Regie’s Story Positions Him as the Go-To Mentor for Aspiring Practice Owners

Regie’s transformation from immigrant with $50 in his pocket to a clinic owner and coach is more than inspirational—it’s packed with insight. While others teach from theory, Regie teaches from trial. His ability to scale a practice without financial backing, social media fame, or initial business knowledge enables him to see struggles most other coaches overlook.

Now, he mentors clinic owners who are in the thick of the same overwhelm—those stuck under seven figures who are unclear on their next step. Many get distracted by the noise of social media and large-scale marketing strategies before truly understanding what actually brings leverage.

His teaching focuses on thoughtful, achievable changes: revamping hiring practices, improving the client journey, and creating team alignment. With a growing community inside his membership, he’s proof that thought leadership doesn’t start from fame—it starts from a place of proven service.

Celebrating Growth, Resilience, and the Future of Leadership in Health Businesses

Every great business has a hinge moment—the setback that turns into a slingshot. For Regie, it was getting fired. But that created a moment of power: the decision to never again put his fate in someone else’s hands.

Since then, he’s built his own seven-figure clinic, created an impactful membership program, and is now taking to stages and media outlets to scale his message further.

Looking ahead, Regie’s goals are simple yet bold: grow his membership to help more owners, and be paid to speak from a stage that reflects his authority and his story. With credibility markers like customer retention, consistent patient referrals, and a proven process, his vision is rooted not in theory—but in lived experience and grit.

For practice owners tired of burnout, staff turnover, and inconsistent growth, Regie offers not just a program—but a path out.
