We always talk about different methodologies for Partnerships as it relates to buy-ins versus earn-ins, but there's A LOT that needs o be discussed before we ever even get to that point. In today's episode I give you a series of questions and thought processes to consider and use with your prospective Associate long before you bring them into the ownership of your business.

Join us as we delve into the success story and remarkable growth of iSmile Orthodontics. We are joined by Founder Dr. Steve Giannoutsos and his COO, Geovane Lemond to discuss how they navigated challenges, including the impact of COVID-19, to achieve a 26% revenue increase, add three new offices, and acquire eight more. Hear firsthand how expert guidance reshaped their strategy, empowered their team, and positioned them for sustained success in orthodontic care and community service.

We're all working very hard to build great businesses that create great revenue and even greater cash flow, but have you ever slowed down to really think about how sustainable it is? The long-term viability of a business comes down to generating revenue and profitability, and then the ability to defend your position. Tune in to learn more about the concept of "defensibility" and what it means for you and your business!

We talk a ton about exit planning and M&A multiples, but it's always around selling the majority of your business. Well, what if you're not ready to give up operational control? What if you're simply looking for a way to take some chips off the table and put some cash in the bank? What if you have more than 10 years to go and you feel like there's still a ton of upside to your business?! Welcome to the thought process behind a minority investment. Tune in to hear my conversation with Dr. David Phelps from his Freedom Founders Podcast as we dig into this alternative exit strategy!

It is mission critical to establish the role of Chief Clinical Officer early on in an emerging group for reasons surrounding clinical philosophy, clinical systems, skill development and quality assurance. Yet this is seemingly the most challenging role for many Founders to define. Dr. Andrew Matta literally wrote the clinical playbook as Co-Founder of the North American Dental Group, so I had him share his wisdom and experience with our Ascendant Executive class. His session was so good that I decided to share the audio with you! And if you want to become a more confident business leader of your emerging group practice, join us for our Q3 session of the Ascendant Executive program: https://polarishealthcarepartners.com/ascendant-executive/
