In this 5 Minute Friday episode, I’m bringing some tough love. If you’ve caught yourself saying, “I just don’t have time to work on the business,” it’s time for a wake-up call. Because in today’s ultra-competitive market—fueled by economic pressure, fewer referrals, and more ortho grads—you can’t afford to drift. And no, it’s not the OSOs or DSOs taking you down… it’s the lack of a clear, intentional plan.

I get it—you’re driving kids to soccer, juggling home life, and trying to breathe. But I promise you: if you’re not investing real time into writing and executing a growth plan for your practice, you’re falling behind. This episode is about calling that out—and helping you change it. Because burnout doesn’t come from overwork... it comes from working hard with no direction. Let’s fix that.
