Hey, everybody, Rick Lau here. This is an interesting episode with Karen Craven. She talks about what do you need to do as a clinical owner to be able to inspire as a visionary at your clinic? Check it out, you know.
And as an owner, where is our biggest asset? It's the six inches between our ears that's our biggest asset. So if your capacity of your brain is 80% full of small tasks that somebody else can do, you got 20% left for the big stuff. Our biggest asset is the six inches between our ears. And if you can offload a bunch of the noise and the stuff that's in there that you're doing, that's not necessary. It frees up this space when you're just like, and I remember saying this to you, Rick, what am I supposed to do now? I don't know what to do. And then all of a sudden, like, I was like, oh, this idea came to my mind, oh, we could do this. Oh, never saw it before because I didn't have the space for it. It was full of other mundane things. So value this as an owner. You've got to start placing value on your brain and your visionary and your strengths as a leader. That's where the money is. That is where the money.
