In this episode, we explore one of the most eye-opening tests you can give your business: the Hit By a Bus Test. While the name might sound extreme, this exercise forces you to evaluate whether your clinic could operate smoothly if you were to step away for a day, a week, or longer. By temporarily removing yourself from the daily grind, you can identify weaknesses, pinpoint operational gaps, and develop a plan to ensure your business thrives—even without you in the driver's seat.
Key Takeaways:
- Your Business Shouldn’t Depend on You – A successful clinic should continue running without your constant presence.
- Run a Stress Test – Take time off and observe what breaks down in your absence. This will show you where your systems, processes, or team need improvement.
- Build a Reliable Team – A key employee should be in place to manage day-to-day operations, handle decisions, and maintain business momentum.
- Revenue Shouldn’t Stop – If your business stops making money when you’re gone, you have a job, not a business. Create SOPs and train staff to sell, collect payments, and manage client relationships without you.
- Marketing Needs a System – If your absence means no new leads, emails, or social media presence, you need a predictable and automated marketing system in place.
- Embrace the Chaos & Fix the Gaps – Things will go wrong when you step away, but that’s the point. Identify the weak spots, create a plan, and systemize your business for long-term growth.
