Beyond The Bottom Line: A Great Culture Leads To More Profit & Freedom
Are you chained to the grind? Do you work hard with little return? If the answer is yes, you’re not alone. We know two dentists who felt the same way…until they joined the Best Practices Association.
These dentists are Dr. Matt and Sarah Karls. Matt’s father was a dentist with his very own practice. After he retired, Matt and his wife took over the family business.
They immediately ran into obstacles—slow profits, long hours and misaligned team members. Matt and Sarah reached out for advice, and what they got wasn’t enough. They didn’t want to focus on money and profits. They wanted to focus on culture and a sense of connection.
That’s when Matt and Sarah found the BPA. In this community, they teamed up with pro coaches who listened to them. They uncovered strategies to work less hours and spend more time with their kids—because they’re not going to stay kids forever! Now, Matt and Sarah are running the practice they’ve always envisioned.
Many people worry about the bottom line. We go beyond the bottom line. Start your journey to a better practice AND a better life by joining the Best Practices Association!
