After buying a practice, our guest David is not only well below the seller's numbers by this time last year, but he's also trending downwards.

Continuing from last week's consulting session with Tom, George now leans into the coaching side of things: How can Tom 'start with why' when getting his team to accept big changes?

When he finds that Tom is so willing to accept his guidance, George lays down even more golden nuggets of information in this week's episode.

Tom acquired a practice last January. And it's tempting to sit back and enjoy the momentum. But George sees key factors that have been ignored: If Tom doesn't improve his new patient flow and keep his front desk accountable for reappointment rates, then his new acquisition will never be sustainable. Luckily, our guest Tom is an excellent clinician; excited to set himself up for the long game.
