What does the onboarding process look like in your office? We’ve seen everything from ‘follow Sally around for the day and we’ll start you tomorrow’ to a 20+ page manual with instructions on every task that position is responsible for.

Keys to successful onboarding:

  • Crystal clear expectations
  • 30, 60, and 90 day benchmarks

What makes a black belt?

Our lead black belt coach, Dr. Addison Killeen, is on the show today to talk about the traits that make black belts what they are. The longer we do this, the more obvious it becomes who is going to make it to black belt status in a hurry. And, the truth is it often has more to do with the way they show up than the current trajectory of their business.

All black belts…

  • Have an elite command of their business
  • Strive for improvement in each quadrant of the four futures

If there was ever a master class in extreme ownership, it’d be hiring a personal assistant. This is because anything that they don’t get done, is your fault. Tune in to hear Alastair unpack this further.

The four tiers:

  • The gopher
  • The personal assistant
  • The executive assistant
  • The chief of staff

Today’s show is focused on determining the lifetime value of a patient. It’s an interesting statistic to know for sure, but beyond curiosities it has huge implications on every practice across the country. From strategizing growth plans to evaluating your clinical suite, knowing the lifetime value of a patient in your practice is essential for any sophisticated business owner.

Three things that can move the needle in your practice:

  • More new patients in
  • Greater value per patient
  • Fewer existing patients out
