Description
📋 Free Download: Practice Evaluation Checklist https://practiceown.com/pdf
Waiting to buy a dental practice could be one of the most expensive decisions you ever make. In this video, I break down the real cost of staying at an associate job, why the most common excuses don't hold up, and how even being conservative, you're leaving $14,000 per month on the table by not becoming an owner.
What we cover:
- The $500,000 difference between my first and second year
- Owner vs. associate income: $350K vs. $200K (conservative)
- The $14,000/month opportunity cost of staying as an associate
- Why you don't need more clinical experience to become an owner
- Why "the timing isn't right" is never a valid excuse
- Why paying off student loans first makes no financial sense
- The trap of waiting for the perfect practice
- Why fear of ownership is holding you back
💼 Work with me: I help dentists evaluate dental practices before they buy. Every practice I evaluate gets compared against my database of 500+ evaluations.
