Shownotes

Most Practice Owners dream of owning more clinics. More locations, more GPs, more revenue. Proof you've made it.

The data tells a different story. If you own five clinics, roughly one is producing 80% of your results while the others drain your cash, your time, and your attention. That's not growth. That's a rescue operation you're funding.

What you'll get from this episode:

  • Why the first clinic almost always funds the others, and why that's a trap
  • The vanity metrics that signal a Practice is run on ego, not economics
  • Todd's banking wake-up call: what happens when the bank asks you to leave by tomorrow
  • The four questions Keith Cunningham uses before any major decision (most owners only ask one)
  • Why moving your best people to fix failing clinics is one of the most expensive mistakes in expansion
  • The real numbers to track: cash profit, GP retention, patient retention, and unit economics
  • Why opening a new site is sometimes just avoiding the hard work in the one you already have
