When you buy a practice, guess what? Now, you’re a business owner. The problem is, not alot of education happens on the business side of dentistry. Unless you got an MBA in addition to your dental degree (if you have both, we salute you), you could be on the path to unnecessary anxiety and frustration by jumping in too quickly.
In this episode, Marney Andes shares some advice her father taught her - “You can do anything you want as long as you know the rules of the game.”
By spending more time upfront educating yourself, asking plenty of questions, and learning from others, you can save yourself from numerous headaches and be positioned for success when you become the owner of your own dental practice.
And who knows, you might even end up becoming Miss America like Marney did by following this advice!
