In today’s episode, Ryan is sharing his financing expertise identifying the obstacles and opportunities that the COVID-19 global pandemic is laying ahead of us. Ryan also talks about these important topics for all dental businesses:
- How to diversify?
- What “the market” really is.
- How does your trajectory separate you from the other dentists out there?
- It is not true that the best path is the one that will provide the highest return.
- Why you need to have some liquidity
- The number one obstacle for any dentist’s path: being unorganized.
- Balancing personal and professional satisfaction.
- Three main categories that drive people’s motivation: autonomy, mastery, and purpose
Top three takeaways:
- It is nice to see a dentist have some balance between multiple locations and real estate but also having enough liquidity.
- If you think you diversify, you are probably not diversified enough.
- Pursue what is right for your life, lifestyle, balance, health, and personality.
