Their expenses rise, their profit doesn’t, and their stress doubles. Scott explains a completely different path that starts with building a “lifestyle practice”: one location that gives you time freedom, financial freedom, and a team that runs the practice day to day.\n\nYou’ll learn:\nWhy your first goal isn’t more locations, but freedom from the hygiene chair\nHow doing bigger cases one day a week can replace four days of general dentistry income\nThe math behind keeping 90% of what you produce when associates cover your overhead\nWhy you should get overhead under control before you hire your first associate\nHow to build an office manager role that handles 95% of day-to-day decisions\nThe “closed-door policy” that protects your time and keeps the practice running without you\n\nIf you’re dreaming of multiple locations, or just want your life back, this episode is your blueprint.
