Owning a practice certainly can have its ups and down and trials and tribulations. For sure! And, you may find yourself busting your butt every day to just get through the day and service all the patients in your schedule plus all the emergencies. Sometimes it can seem endless and like a treadmill. It can
Probably most practices have heard about having to have your website be “mobile responsive” and have taken the steps to get theirs fixed, but have you done it for real? For instance, yesterday I met with a doctor who was sure that her website was mobile responsive and I showed her on my iPad
Everyone has had dreams of really excelling at something in their lives. For instance, as a healthcare professional you probably envisioned an awesome practice with terrific patients or clients who went ahead with the ideal care you were presenting, and you and your fabulous team delivered the service with a care level that exceeded your
Have you ever wondered why some new employees “work out” better than others? You hire them full of hope that they will be the sparkling success you need them to be for whatever position they are to fill.
