Do you ever feel pigeon-holed? You feel like you are out of options and too tired to fight for options? Every practice owner experiences seasons of simply wanting out. They want to walk away from the pressure and stress of it all. In this episode, Dr. Kuba and Bethany discuss the intentional strategy of bringing in producer help. For some practices, that could mean taking the leap of faith and hiring a hygienist. For other practices, that could mean hiring a part-time associate. Whatever the case may be, it is critical for solo practice owners to feel like they are not alone, and the addition of producer assistance often can relieve some of the pressure of practice ownership. 

Show hosts Bethany Petty and Dr. Reena Kuba discuss the following topics: 

• The recent stories and examples of practice owners walking away from it all. 
• How business ownership is a blessing and a true gift. 
• The importance of protecting your greatest instrument – your mind and body. By protecting this instrument, a practice owner can extended his or her practice life by 5, 10, or even 15 years.
