I'm often asked by doctors who are established, why would I join your consulting firm? What are you going to do for my practice? And I'm reminded about the many practices that we have worked with. One in particular comes to mind of a dentist who had been practicing for 23 years, had a full staff, four hygienists, two associates, two people at the front desk, and several assistants. And one of the things that he really was frustrated with in his business is he was not profitable. His overhead was way high. In addition, he wasn't taking home what he thought he should be taking home after 22 years and a practice of his size. And then also he did not like his schedule. He felt like he was stressed out. At the end of the day. There wasn't balance to his day. And us coming in and working with he and his team was amazing. His mindset was great. His team adopted a great mindset and a positive attitude. We taught them how to properly schedule with ideal day scheduling, which made a huge difference in their practice. He had 45% growth that first year. So great opportunity for dentists who are established, who want to go to the next level, maybe even not with monetary. That was just a secondary thing for him. He wanted to actually be more profitable, but he really wanted balance in his life as well. Hope you'll dig deeper into finding out how that can have an effect on your practice.
