The 5 Mistakes You’ll Make as a Practice Owner
|
Hello Reader, Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I feel like I’m still recovering, although that’s mostly from the cold I picked up along the way. 😷 As we quickly approach the new year, I’ve been thinking about what I’ll cover in this email newsletter in 2025. AND I’ve been considering how I can make what I cover most impactful for you – wherever you find yourself in your professional journey. Just below, you’ll find links to let me know your current professional focus. That’ll allow me to better serve you the content which will best serve you! 🎉 But before I get to that, I want to let you know about a great, free webinar my friend Julie Herres is hosting this upcoming Friday, December 13th! 📆 The topic of that webinar? How to crack the compensation code as a group practice owner. Whether you’re contemplating making your first hire or an established group practice owner looking to take your practice to the next level, having a data-backed plan for clinician is essential. It’s not that you can’t be generous or equitable – you absolutely can design a compensation structure aligned with your values. But doing so with knowledge and intention will make the difference between being an empowered group practice owner – and one who feels exploited by their own business. Click on these links to let me know what type of content you’d like to see more of! 🔗These links will also take you to the registration page for Julie’s upcoming webinar!

Hello Reader, I like to think I pay pretty close attention to things like inflation. But it floored me recently when I found out inflation over the last six years has been 28%. I’ll repeat that for everyone in the back. 28%. Yup, that’s correct. Not a typo. You can check it out for yourself here. That’s kind of nuts. We tend to think of inflation as background noise — a little high one year, a little low the next, mostly irrelevant to the actual decisions we’re making. But 28% over six years...
Hello Reader, Two things I genuinely enjoy in my free time (which may say something about me): reading Buddhist books… and listening to investing podcasts. Recently, those two worlds collided in a way that really stuck with me. I’ve been re-reading The Wisdom of No Escape by Pema Chödrön. One of the core ideas she explores is that we often try to escape discomfort — and that doing so isn’t all that wise. It isn’t that the things we use to distract ourselves are inherently bad. It’s that they...
Hi Reader, If you’re a practice owner (or self-employed in any way), I’m guessing this sounds familiar: “I don’t really have time for a conference.” “The money feels hard to justify.” “I’m not sure the ROI is actually there.” I have that same reaction all the time. Getting on a plane. ✈️ Staying in a hotel. 🏨 Stepping away from work that already feels endless. 😥 It almost never feels like the right time. And yet — some of the most meaningful insights I’ve had about my business never would...
