How do you know you're ready to hire a new physician in your private practice? 

This is a question that I am asked a lot, and it is so important to answer, because when it is done wrong, it can create unbelievable stress, strain, and chaos in what was once a very calm and successful private practice. So, before you make that potentially detrimental hire, ask yourself whether your practice is really ready for that kind of growth. 

In this episode, I’m walking you through the five critical warning signs that tell you it’s not the right time to expand and explaining how to set yourself up for success in the future. 

Tune in!
