Look, I'm just gonna say it: the biggest mistake I see new clinic owners make is blowing their budget on looks. Marble floors, backlit signs, fancy front desks—all of it. And then? Crickets. No patients walking through the door because they forgot the most important thing: marketing. When I launched my first clinic, I focused on getting people in, not showing off. One of my most successful colleagues ran a multimillion-dollar stem cell clinic with folding chairs and yellow walls. What mattered was the service, not the setup.

In this episode, I walk you through exactly how to open and scale your clinic without wasting a dime on things that don't matter. I'll explain why second-generation spaces are a gold mine, how to negotiate tenant improvements in your lease, and how a clean, presentable space will get the job done until you're actually generating revenue. I also break down how I build clinics for under $30K while others are drowning in debt before they even open their doors.

We also get into equipment. Buying used machines sounds smart—until it isn't. I've been burned by used lasers and CoolSculpting devices more times than I can count. So I'll tell you where to buy from, what fees to avoid, and how to get all the tax benefits of going new. Bottom line: this episode is your no-BS guide to building a lean, profitable clinic from day one.
