The BEST part of Dental Startup Success with Dr. Gina Dorfman

"How to start a new dental practice?"... not exactly an easy question to answer, right? The truth is that making the leap from associate dentist to startup owner is a scary prospect, and many associate dentists focus on the wrong things when embarking on this adventure.

Join Jayme as he sits down with Dr. Gina Dorfman of Behind the Smiles Podcast to learn what building your ideal startup entails and the steps that you can take. They discuss actionable advice both for those looking to startup and established practice owners. Jayme discovers some of the challenges that Gina faced in her startup, and why she succeeded where others did not.

Tune in to find out why asking "What" is more important than asking "How" when refining your vision, and the three irreversible decisions that can derail your startup before you've even begun. Hear some wonderful anecdotes of how startups change lives, and examples of people that have made an impact on Jayme after joining his network. Jayme talks through the major problems with the advice given on online forums ("If you build it, they will come"), and how adding a personal touch to your startup can make all the difference to your patient database.
