From Overworked Clinician to Confident CEO
Ever feel like your practice keeps growing, but your freedom doesn’t?
I’ve been there.
When I first tried to cut back on my clinical days, I thought it would just happen once I hired the right people. It didn’t.
It took structure, leadership systems, and some hard lessons before things finally clicked.
It’s what made my conversation with my good friend, Dr. Chris Green, especially meaningful. He built two thriving practices while cutting his chair time to almost zero, and he shares exactly how he did it.
Here’s the short version:
• Go from four days to three without losing production
Tighten your schedule, do more per visit, and hand one day to your associate.
• Lock in a simple meeting rhythm
Weekly leadership meeting, monthly team meeting, and quick check-ins that keep everyone aligned.
• Develop leaders with a clear 12-week plan
Teach ownership, core values, and how to handle tough conversations.
• Protect your time with smart scripts
“Dr. Green is booked eight weeks out, but Dr. Jones can see you next week and you’ll be in great hands.”
• Keep associates accountable
Track total exams and treatment planned. A healthy goal is producing about one third of what’s planned each month.
In the episode, Chris shares the Tuesday morning decision that changed everything, the full leadership plan, and how to empower your team so your boundaries don’t become their problem.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to work less, but my practice would fall apart,” this one’s for you.
