Our purpose: To empower people to rediscover and redesign their future. This is a one-year business development process.

Structures, models, and systems are set in place to develop a practice that excels in all areas of professional growth. Doctor and team members are part of four unique Entrepreneurial Custom Coaching Sessions.

Investment Return Analysis (IRA)
 

Initially, an Business Development Specialist evaluates the practice, and baseline statistics are completed for an Investment Return Analysis (IRA) so that a starting point exists from which to measure future progress. You assess current strengths and weaknesses and determine how you would like to change your practice for the future. The IRA helps you identify what financial, business, and professional goals you desire for your practice and life.

Growth Into Greatness Model
 

The model Growth Into Greatness incorporates for practice growth is contrary to the “bigger is better” / high production, high stress, high volume, insurance driven, disease care practice. It is based on relationships; spiritual and emotional enrichment; high profit (not high production) through overhead control; freedom from insurance control (UCR, PPR fee schedules), and comprehensive dental care that promotes wellness and health.

This model promotes integrity, honesty, and enhancing the value of service provided to the patient. Considerable efforts are made to develop people in entrepreneurial models for future business growth, creativity, possibilities, and personal and professional achievement.
