The systems and structures of your business model must be compatible with the philosophy of patient care that you want to deliver on a consistent basis. And, it has to have been tested over time to be successful in practices like yours.

Using that model, write a MASTER PLAN tailored for your practice that will guide you through the step by step management and development steps of your business thereby lessening the impact of emotional decisions and need for crisis management.

As you implement the master plan, identify a MENTOR, someone who will be your personal trainer, coach, motivator, and friend to share ideas through this process; someone who is committed to be there to help when unexpected problems come up; and someone who knows what to do and has successfully helped others in similar situations.

Finally, you will need a way to MONITOR your progress; management reports to provide you with control to assure your progress, hold you accountable for doing the work, and a feedback loop to enable you to make the right adjustments.
