You left corporate medicine to escape 15-minute appointments and cookie-cutter care, but somehow you're still undercharging, following industry "rules," and burning yourself out just like before.

The real problem? You're still thinking like an employee, not a business owner.

In this episode, I reveal the five critical mindset shifts that separate struggling practice owners from thriving entrepreneurs—from breaking free of "industry standards" that don't serve patients to thinking like an investor instead of a spender. You'll learn to spot these patterns in your own practice and get the clarity you need to finally make the mental transition.

Ready to stop playing small and start building the practice you actually want? Listen now!
