It's easy to take the simple things in life for granted, like breathing.

Breathing is so simple, that we don't even think about it. Yet, if we don't breathe well, we don't sleep well, and we don't live well because our health falls apart.

Is growing your practice fun? If not, you're doing it wrong.

Today's episode is special because our guest is Dr. Ed O'Flaherty, based in Dublin, Ireland.

The traditional practice in Ireland has only one or two treatment rooms, maybe 6 at most. But Dr. O'Flaherty has 16 ops. So, he's doing things very differently in an environment where growing a practice is more challenging than in North America.

In this conversation, you'll learn:

• How to grow your practice in a city or state that doesn't support you
• How to find where 80% of your patients come from (so you can scale with precision)
• Why having extra ops is like having extra cash registers in a supermarket
• How to get the highest yield per square foot when renovating or building a practice (hint: it does NOT need to be over the top)

Yes, you can produce $60,000 in one afternoon. And, you can do it without sacrificing patient care.

That's the subject of today's episode of the Double Your Production Podcast.
