Episode #2: The 3 Stages No One Tells You About When Running a Dental Practice
Let's get real about what actually happens when you own a practice. Not the glossy version - the messy, real-world journey from overwhelmed owner to confident leader.
Here's the truth: What worked for your colleague down the street might be tanking your growth. Why? Because you're in different stages, facing different challenges.
In this episode, I'm breaking down:
• Why you're drowning in admin work during years 1-5 (and how to fix it)
• The mindset shift that's keeping you trapped in operator mode
• How to scale without losing sleep over quality control
• The money fears no one talks about (especially when you're about to hire that first associate)
Plus, we'll tackle that "mom guilt" that hits hard in the startup years, and why your blue-collar background might be sabotaging your growth decisions.
Whether you're still in research mode or ready to expand to a bigger space, this episode shows you exactly where to focus right now.
