We all have different ways to run our practice. Some opt to partner with another entrepreneur and work on their own; others buy an old practice and go from there. Regardless of how you start, what matters is as the practice grows, so should the time you have for yourself. The more profitable your practice becomes, the more it should be run like a business.In today’s episode, I share a replay of my guest appearance on the Dental Hacks podcast, where I discuss what sets a practice apart from a business and why I believe dentists should all be business owners.
