Dr. Vince Leone explains when a chiropractic practice is ready to hire an associate. You need roughly $30,000 in monthly revenue, and you should fix systemic problems like patient acquisition or pricing first. Watch for physical strain and burnout as signs you're at capacity.
Those are definite indicators that it is probably time to bite the bullet and get her done. I mean, those are the capacity, the physical signs, the mental-emotional things, all those things that you got to just kind of checklist in your mind or write it out on paper, the pros and cons. But if you are starting to see some of those things, be like, yep, we are at capacity. Yep, I am getting physically beat up. Yep, I am close to burnout, that type of thing. Those are definite indicators that it's probably time to bite the bullet and get her done.
Yeah. And if your revenue is at a high enough level, I mean, if you're at, you know, $30,000 a month and you're experiencing all those things, there's another problem. Like something else is wrong. You know, there's a systems issue, there's a new patient issue, there's a pricing issue. Like you need to be generating pretty decent revenue to be able to afford an associate, to have the systems in place to maximize it.
