ANECDOTE

Italy Trip Proof Of Systems

  • Jason took a two-week trip to Italy while eight locations ran without issues.
  • He credits systems and associates for enabling the practice to operate smoothly in his absence.
ADVICE

Create A 3-Year Vision

  • Define a clear three-year vision with specific targets for income, locations, and role mix.
  • Write it down and use it to avoid pointless comparison and guide decisions.
ADVICE

Verify Capacity And Demand

  • Audit your facility and demand before hiring: count operatories and measure new-patient flow.
  • Use concrete thresholds (e.g., ~40 new patients/month for PPO clinics) to decide readiness.
