Summit Recap, Elastic Invisalign Pricing, You’re The Bottleneck
The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 353
HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak
DESCRIPTION
On this Episode we’re re-capping our 2024 Bulletproof Summit- the energy and feedback, importance of paying attention to one’s body, and the need for educational platforms and team-building events. We also discuss the challenges of being a business owner and feeling overwhelmed, as well as the importance of team engagement and buy-in. We’ll shift to pricing strategies and the concept of designing fees based on desired earnings and the importance of setting fees based on what you want to earn and not just following industry standards. The conversation touches on the challenges and constant learning involved in dentistry, as well as the importance of investing back into the business to create more capacity and serve the community better.
