Dental practices are under more pressure than ever to grow, but most growth advice is overly simplistic. In this video, Dan walks through the Seven Degrees of Freedom for Growth, a framework that helps you understand where growth really comes from and what you should focus on first.
He covers:
- Why most practices leave huge amounts of money on the table
- The importance of getting more from existing patients before chasing new ones
- Why “marketing doesn’t work” is almost often a systems problem
- When adding new services or clinicians actually makes sense
- Why buying another practice too early can double your problems
- The risks of chasing new industries or opportunities
Almost every growth strategy can work, but only in the right order, and only when your business is set up to capture the value. If you want help figuring out where your practice sits and what to prioritise next, get in touch.
