Provide: The Path to Owning It

28. Practice, profits, and purpose: The 3 Ps of practice ownership, with Stephen Trutter


Listen Later

When starting a healthcare practice, it's easy to get caught up in the details – the who, what, where, and when of opening your practice, so to speak..

But have you stopped to think about the "why"?

According to this week's guest, Stephen Trutter, too often the "why" of practice ownership is an afterthought – if it's considered at all.

As CEO at Ideal Practices, a dental consulting firm that’s opened more than 3,000 practices, Stephen knows a thing or two about the topic.

Throughout his 17 years in dentistry, Stephen has personally guided more than 850 startup practices. He preaches what he calls "the three Ps of practice ownership: practice, profits and purpose."

In this episode, we'll discuss:

  • Why it's critical to define a "why" for your practice and to commit to supporting a cause in the community
  • How to leverage community involvement to strengthen the business end of your practice
  • Who is a good candidate for starting their own healthcare practice
  • How to find the right location for your startup 
  • Some of the common traits of the most successful startups he’s coached
