In this episode of Ask George, Dr. George Hariri guides you through "The Ownership Reset," a strategic process designed to align your dental practice ownership with your long-term life goals. As we head into 2026, George emphasizes that successful dental practice ownership requires more than clinical skill; it requires a clear vision and a refined sense of direction. Whether you are a productive solo or looking to scale into a mega group, this episode serves as a survival guide to help you identify your "vision avatar" and move from being a clinician to a true CEO.
George breaks down the clinical entrepreneur spectrum, identifying five distinct models for dental practice ownership: the Productive Solo, the Smart Solo, the Profitable Group, the Pseudo Specialist, and the Mega Group. You will learn how to identify the specific bottleneck—be it patient flow or clinical calibration—inhibiting your growth and how to implement dental business strategies like the "operating rhythm" to solve it. By transitioning to a team-led approach to entrepreneurship for dentists, you can increase your "surface area for luck" and ensure your practice values grow alongside your income.
Stop letting growth happen by accident. Learn how to use Dental Moneyball principles to audit your administrative time and focus on the tasks that actually move the needle. By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools to communicate a clear vision to your team, ensuring everyone is rowing in the same direction for a profitable 2026 in dental practice ownership.
