What would your career look like if you bought the right practice?

Chances are you are going to spend the majority of your career working in the first practice you buy. The practice you select will have a huge impact on the trajectory of your career; It will determine your future income, your procedure mix, your overhead and your overall quality of life. This singular decision you make can either set you up for success or present you with unnecessary obstacles. The impact it has on YOUR career is up to YOU!

Any of these sound familiar?

You want to set yourself up for success. You have seen and heard about dentists buying practices and becoming almost immediately successful. You understand that practice selection plays a huge role in your success early in your career. You want to do everything you can to ensure you are successful from the get-go.

You’re ready for practice ownership. You feel like you have outgrown your current situation and are ready for a new challenge. You find yourself wanting practice ownership more and more as times goes by.

Overwhelmed by the process. The process of buying a practice can be daunting. There are a lot of moving parts and a lot of things that need to happen. You want to make sure you are properly prepared for the road to ractice owership.

Unsure how to find your ideal practice acquisition. You know its out there, but how do you find it? You feel like you’ve tried every strategy, but haven’t found the kind of practice that makes you excited about practice ownership.

Thinking about doing a start-up instead. You are anxious to get into ownership but just have not been able to find any good practices. You are thinking about giving up and doing a startup. You don’t want to delay practice ownership another 1-2 years but think that your only other option is settling for a flawed practice.

Afraid of getting ripped off. Feeling under-represented as a buyer? With so many buyers and so few practices, buyers can get taken advantage of. You want a way to make sure that you are getting a good deal.

Don’t know what to Look for. Do you feel overwhelmed by the amount of information you have to look through. Are you afraid of missing a crucial piece of information and buying the wrong practice?

Do any (or all) of these describe you?
If so, then you are in the RIGHT spot!

I want you to take a moment and imagine a world where you…

Buy the Right Practice. You smoothly transition into practice ownership. You bought a successful practice with plenty of growth potential. You begin transforming the office into the practice of your dreams.

Identify the Diamond in The Rough You see a practice for sale that has sat on the market for months. Buyers continue to pass up on it, not able to identify the potential opportunity that exists. You are able to see things differently, allowing you to swoop in and steal the practice. Little do the plethora of buyers in the market know, they missed out on a Golden Opportunity.

Find Golden Opportunities. You are the first one to look at an amazing practice. You have the opportunity to snatch up an ideal opportunity before it gets turned over to somebody else.

Confidently Enter Practice Ownership. No more second guessing if you are making the right decision. Buy your practice knowing you selected the right practice. Then, execute the sale and transition with confidence and poise.

Smoothly Transfer Ownership. Once you decide to pull the trigger, you know exactly what needs to be done and when it needs to be done by. You lead your team to a smooth transfer of practice ownership using your understanding of the entire process.

Yep. It’s all very possible.
