In Episode 71, Gerda breaks down two financial concepts that practice owners often confuse, and how that misunderstanding can quietly sabotage your pricing, team pay decisions, and long-term sustainability.

She unpacks the difference between “Contributions to OPEX” and “Profit” and why knowing the distinction can transform the way you run your business, especially in the current economic climate.

In this Episode, you will learn:

• The difference between “Contributions to OPEX” and “Profit”
• Common misconceptions around what actually happens to practice Revenue.
• A simple framework for understanding the flow of money within your practice.

Who This Episode Is For:

• Group practice owners who feel like there’s never enough money left, even when revenue looks “good.”
• Anyone who wants to run an ethical and sustainable business, without just hoping that the bank balance will work out come next payday.

This is one of those foundational episodes that will make you think differently about every dollar coming into your practice, and help you build a business you can’t stop smiling about.
