The Inversion Rule: Stop Quietly Killing Your Clinic’s Growth
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How could you guarantee you never fill your patient panel?
Strange question, I know... but hear me out.
During a delayed flight home, I stumbled across Charlie Munger's inversion rule. He believed life's hardest problems become easier when you flip them upside down. Instead of asking how to win, ask how to lose… then ruthlessly avoid those mistakes.
In this episode I walk you through the inversion exercise and what it reveals about the hidden barriers holding your practice back — and why they almost always trace back to the same three things.
If you've been focused on adding more, this episode is your reminder that sometimes the most powerful move is removing what's *not* working.
