Takeaways:

  • Success doesn’t happen in isolation, so surround yourself with people who provide honest feedback, even when it’s tough to hear. A reliable network of mentors, peers, and business partners can help refine your ideas and keep you grounded.
  • In a challenging labor market, bringing candidates in for trial periods allows you to quickly assess their fit within your team. This approach ensures you find dedicated employees who align with your practice's culture and values.
  • Growth requires stepping outside your comfort zone and embracing challenges that may seem intimidating at first. The biggest opportunities often come from pushing beyond what feels safe and trying new approaches.
  • Success in optometry isn’t just about clinical skills; it’s about adjusting to industry changes and patient needs. Staying flexible and willing to pivot your business strategy ensures long-term stability and growth.
  • Public education is more than just a way to give back—it’s a powerful tool for establishing authority and trust in your field. Creating content and sharing insights helps expand your reach and strengthen your professional brand.
  • Scaling a practice isn’t just about opening more locations; it requires thoughtful evaluation of community needs and long-term sustainability. Strategic growth ensures your expansion benefits both your patients and your business.
