Hello, everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Dentalpreneur Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Mark Costes. How you doing, my friends? All right. This is, uh, an excerpt from a business mastery all-day course that I spoke at about a year ago in San Diego. Um, and the title of this particular clip is called Operational Mastery. I talk specifically about why people invest in franchises, uh, what we can learn as independent entrepreneurs from the franchise model. I discuss the DSI Belt Classification, which measures leadership, practice culture, systemization, overhead, and profit. I discuss the concept that no matter where you are in your practice ownership journey, there's always room for growth and improvement. I talk about the visualization exercise that clarifies what your ideal practice and life looks like. Um, I talk about the reason why key-man risk matters when selling your dental practice. I discuss why dentistry is such a difficult and lonely pursuit. And finally, I talk about strategies versus tactics when creating a systems-driven dental practice, um, and when to deploy each. All right, guys, I hope you get a ton of value from this presentation and this podcast episode. Let me know what you think, and we'll talk to you soon. Take care. What I would like to share with you guys today
