If you want to run an empire, you have to rule yourself first.
Recently, I sat down with Jay Geier on the Private Practice Playbook podcast to reflect on what it really takes to scale a practice, from buying an outdated 7-chair office decades ago as a single mother to building a multi-entity group with over 50 team members today.
Here are 3 core lessons every clinician-entrepreneur needs to hear:
Get "Eyes Up" (Tactical Detachment): You cannot solve system-level business problems while your head is trapped in the chair. To make strategic decisions, you must step back, look at the ecosystem, and lead.
How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything: From reception design to clinical precision, your environment reflects your standard of care . High-end experiences require relentless attention to detail.
Specialty Synergy Drives Patient Experience: True growth isn't just adding chairs—it's creating an ecosystem where comprehensive care, specialty access, and patient convenience align seamlessly.
