Who Is Driving Your Bus?

Most likely, you are driving your “dental practice ownership” bus. You are the key person that makes your practice go.

No you, no practice.

What about your family, if you have been blessed to have one? Did you have an important “bus driving” role in raising your children and do you have an integral role in what you and your spouse do now?

Without your leadership, where would your practice be?

Where would your family be?

As each of us advances in age, we have to take the driver’s seat of another bus. This bus will wreck if you do not take the wheel.

This bus is your “practice transition plan” bus.

You can take the wheel and have no regrets, or you can ignore it and crash. Every practice owner takes the exit ramp from practice ownership someday. How are you going to do it?

If you have a transition plan in place, if something unexpected happens to you and you need to take the next exit ramp, you won’t be hanging your family, your staff and your patients out to dry due to lack of planning.

If your exit ramp is further down the road, having a plan in place now allows you to make adjustments that will increase the value of your practice and improve profitability.

Don’t let your “next chapter of life” bus careen out of control, driverless.

Get into the driver’s seat today.
