T-bone Speaks Dentistry

I have never seen a dental practice grow with a one man band. It's just not possible. It's suicide. So today, Chuck and I will share with you our personal experience and some tips on why you should (or should not) have an associate. I'm a strong believer that growth comes with delegation. It's a skill that can grow your practice and buy you the time you need, but at the same time help your associate grow as well. Getting an associate is no easy job. To many, it's actually a challenge, but hopefully not a stressful one. So today, we'll talk about the ins and outs, and the five things you should know about having an associate.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tbonespeaks/message

This is BONUS CONTENT. Back in January 2016 I was interviewed by Gary Takacs on his podcast - The Thriving Dentist Show.  In this interview we discussed several strategies to grow your practice from within your practice.
