We never sell your information.

Opening a practice is one thing.

Becoming the kind of owner who thrives is another.

👉 Some owners hit the ground running.

👉 Others struggle for years wondering what went wrong.

The difference usually isn't the location, the equipment, or even the business plan. It's the traits and habits the owner brought to the table from day one.

This conversation with Stephen Trutter and Dr. Paul Goodman, Founder of Dental Nachos, explores what we've seen across nearly 1,000 practice openings—and what actually separates owners who thrive from those who don't.
