You Can't Fix Your Dental Practice Alone
Buying a new home is exciting…until everything starts to break.
At first glance, the house looks great. After a few months of living in it, though, problems seem to come out of nowhere. The dryer breaks down. A pipe bursts under the sink. The gutters are clogged with leaves.
Some homeowners might say, “I can fix this!” They pull out a toolbox, search tutorials online and attempt something they’ve never done before. The result? They’re soaked, sore and frustrated…and the dryer is still broken.
Smart homeowners know when to call in the experts. So do smart dental owners!
When something goes wrong, you don’t have to deal with it alone. Just like calling a plumber, electrician or contractor, you can always rely on your ACT coach. No matter what you need help with—systems, core values, culture, leadership—your coach is the expert to call. (Don’t have a coach? It’s never too late to connect with one!)
Dental school doesn’t prepare you to run a business. That’s what a coach can do…and so can a study club! Listen to Ariel Juday, one of our amazing ACT coaches, explain why you should join a study club.
