In the dental business you have the good:
- Working with great patients
- Having a thriving business
- Building a team of incredible people
And, just like in life, you have the “not-so-good”:
- Patients that push you to the edge
- Down months where you aren’t certain where the money is going to come from
- Having to let go of people who aren’t the right fit in your practice
No one knows this better – and has learned from it – than Dr. Joshua Austin.
