Quick Hitter: As the CEO of Your Practice, What Should You Focus On (00:46)
Closing Thought: Do No Spoil What You Have (20:20)
We've talked a lot about being the CEO of your practice in past episodes (see episodes 82-91). But, once you carve out that time to actually BE the CEO, what do you do? What do you use all that time for? In this episode we walk through the things that I have planned out to tackle on the two weekdays I will not be seeing patients. This is an incredibly important question to answer if you are wanting to make the move from having a good job to have a great business!

Highlights from this episode:
Quick Hitter: This is Your Permission to be Successful (00:49)
Closing Thought: Process Evaluation (22:11)
"Action will delineate and define you". There is no reason you can't you do the amazing things that others are doing. Give yourself permission to go and do it. Those other people are no better than you. Of course imposter syndrome can be a challenge, but it's only as real as you allow it to be. Start asking "why not you?" and you will be blown away at the things you can accomplish... because why not?

Office Talk: Family Spring Break story (19:35)
Closing Thought: Good Boy! (27:54)
In this week's episode we are talking about the Pareto principle (basically the 80/20 rule). This can be applied in so many areas of our lives but obviously today I am applying it to our optometric practices. Whether you own your own practice, work as an associate, or are just working to become an optometrist, this principle will work for you. Cut the fat, focus, and double down, my friends.

Customer Reviews
Immensely helpful
I started listening to this podcast summer of 2022 after an old classmate sent me an episode. I have since gone back and listened to every one. During every episode I find my self writing down one or two thanks that I want to implement the next week in my cold start practice. Most other content that I have found elsewhere is either not entirely specific to where I am an in my cold start journey, or filled with industry marketing. Dr. Lillie tells it like it is, and my practice and team is much better for it. Thanks!
