RUNNING YOUR PRACTICE How many hours a week are you working in the business versus on the business? Have you placed a value on and are you financially rewarded for your nonclinical hours? Are you paid to manage? How much time do you invest in managing clinical and support staff? Is the reward worth the investment? Think of your ROI Do you take 4 weeks holiday every year? Do your practice commitments spill over into your family and personal life? Do you have a work/life balance? What is the true profit margin you are making from your employed clinical staff? Are they simply meeting patient demand? Are they simply paying the bills? Do they have a better work/life balance than you?

RUNNING YOUR PRACTICE Would you prefer to be a clinician or a manager? Do you know what your practice is really worth on the open market? Have you tested it or is it your perceived value? What is the real financial and emotional investment you have placed into your practice over the years and will you be compensated on exiting the business? If you received a lump sum amount for your practice today, what would you do with this money? Would realising a value now and investing that money elsewhere give you a better financial return in the medium to long-term? Some food for thought
