Over the last 25 years, I have spent at least 3 – 4 hours with over 6,000 healthcare professionals analyzing their practices one-on-one, and I have found many, many reasons why a practice may not be going anywhere fast. Here are the first things to consider: As the practice owner, do you have a clear
Do you sometimes feel that you’re drowning in details and minutiae? Have you got too many things running around in your head? Feeling overwhelmed by it all?

Everybody wants to be proud of where they work and to feel like their time is well invested into something that matters.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “I should get up and get this ____ done.” And it didn’t happen. Or have you seen someone give a weak order, “You should move those files someday.” And it didn’t get done. One skill that great leaders have that puts them in control of situations is the strength

Staff can be great leaders within the practice as well. Great leaders have many defining qualities and some of them are listed below. What
What WOULD happen if your practice got busier? This is a very important question as your answers may be what are holding your practice back from reaching its full potential. Many healthcare professionals are afraid of growth for a variety of different reasons. These resistances can be removed and replaced with enthusiasm and growth. Below,
