At Savvy Dentist we pride ourselves in guiding you through the process of scaling up your business so you can earn more, work less, and enjoy more freedom.
When you free up your time, and you’re still making money, it provides you with choice in your life.
In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast, Dr. Jesse Green is joined by Sam & Adam Bradsaw from Jacaranda Family Dental in Queensland.
Sam & Adam are the quintessential case study on how to scale your dental practice successfully. They have done amazing things to build (and scale) their dental practice in Gympie, Queensland.
Sam & Adam share in detail how they have built their business from one chair, to two chairs, to four chairs, to six chairs … to currently twelve chairs. They share their story, they share their experiences, they share their lessons and some of the things that have worked really well for them as they’ve embarked on their business growth these past 8 years.
