Are you holding onto your dental practice longer than needed? The quest for the "highest valuation" might actually be costing you precious years of freedom.

In this illuminating discussion, financial planners Luke Hurley and Anik Sharma reveal the critical distinction between maximizing practice value and achieving your personal financial independence. Through real-world examples and comprehensive cash flow modeling, they demonstrate how dentists can determine their actual "number" – the amount needed to fund their desired lifestyle without financial constraint.

The conversation challenges conventional wisdom about retirement age and practice exit timing. Rather than clinging to arbitrary targets or industry benchmarks, our experts walk through how to reverse-engineer your financial needs, taking into account existing assets, pensions, and investment portfolios. This approach often reveals that many practice owners are already closer to financial freedom than they realize.

Financial planning software vividly illustrates how even modest practice valuations, combined with accumulated wealth in pensions and investments, can provide sustainable income well beyond traditional retirement age. The discussion includes important considerations around sequence risk, tax optimization, and the psychological aspects of transitioning away from practice ownership.

Perhaps most valuable is the exploration of what retirement actually means in today's world. Far from the outdated concept of "being put out to pasture," financial independence offers the freedom to choose how you spend your time – whether that's continuing clinical work on your terms, pursuing new business ventures, dedicating time to family and travel, or exploring entirely new passions like the former solicitor who became a flight instructor.
