In this episode, we explore the critical distinction between working in your dental practice and working on it. Our guest, Naren, delves into how focusing solely on day-to-day operations—like patient care, staff management, and administrative tasks—can limit your practice’s growth potential. Drawing insights from Michael Gerber’s “The E-Myth,” Narin highlights the transformative power of strategic planning, marketing, and delegation. By shifting your focus to long-term improvements, such as enhancing patient satisfaction, streamlining processes, and boosting revenue, you can build a more successful and resilient dental practice. This episode is a must-listen for dental professionals looking to elevate their practice and achieve sustainable growth.
