Almost every day, a medspa owner calls to talk about selling, and almost every one of them hasn't given it enough time yet.

Jessica Hunter walks through the real math and timelines behind building a sellable practice and what actually separates a practice worth buying from one that isn't… and it's not credentialing.

Comparing an RN who does the same skillset every single day with a nurse practitioner who splits time across the hospital, the clinic, and four different services, find out why the RN wins.

Jessica makes a direct case for staying in your seat, and reframes why most aesthetic businesses fail somewhere between year two and year three. They don't fail because the founders aren't good. They fail because the founders stop.
