Life has two rules:
RULE #1 Never quit!
RULE #2 Always remember RULE #1 ! (Duke Ellington)
If you see your method of operation is not working, do not give up, give in and choose to simply acquiesce to the status quo -- if you do, you can expect your outcomes to remain the same, too.
Work to change things! Be determined to be brave and to take risks -- think outside of the box! -- most importantly, do not quit until you've found a way to improve. When you think you've found your solution, don't stop there!.....There will always be room for change and improvement. Business (as is life) is not static, but dynamic.
Learn to prefer the roller-coaster to the merry-go-round -- you will find the ride to be much more exhilarating, memorable, and most notably, successful!

Calling all physicians...
With the looming financial crisis over your head, what's a doctor to do? It's time to take action and think outside of the box -- it is what will be required in order for your practice to thrive in these economically ominous times.
As a former practice manager, it became apparent to me that something was going to have to change with the way doctors do business in order for their practices to survive and thrive in this world economy -- especially those physicians who prefer to remain working in smaller, private practices rather than in larger or hospital-owned practices.
Physicians are having to work longer and harder to stay afloat in smaller practices -- and yes, we're talking MONEY here!. Naturally, when money gets tight, physicians do their best to juggle their finances -- often cutting corners to keep up with the financial obligations their practices demand. However, (and unfortunately), sometimes physicians have a difficult time seeing the forest for the trees, and they cut corners too much or in areas where they shouldn't -- leaving their practices vulnerable, and in the end, worse off.
I have created this blog to help you, the physician -- by giving you common sense solutions and tools to help you be the successful businessman you want and deserve to be.
