    Dr. Ruth Mannschreck on Beware the Unsellable Practice

    Just because you want to sell your practice doesn’t mean anyone wants to buy it. Just because you have a price in mind doesn’t mean anyone will pay it. My guest today lived this experience herself, and now she works with clients to help them get their practice into a sellable condition. Dr. Ruth Mannschreck is a dentist, practice management strategist and Owner/Founder of Shoreline Strategies LLC. Dr. Ruth built a successful practice from the ground up and in response to a life-altering experience with her family, reduced her practice hours from 40 to 25 per week. Despite the drastic change, the practice returned to its' previous revenue production and then moved forward to exceed those levels, allowing her to be with her family during a difficult time. This shift in perspective led her to create a streamlined business model that focuses on strong systems, building a high-performing team and fostering a magnetic company culture.
