#62: How to Take a Vacation as a Private Practice Owner

In this episode, I tackle one of the biggest myths about private practice: that you'll never be able to take a vacation. I share how I've actually taken more time off as a practice owner than I did when I was employed, and discuss the planning, systems, and communication strategies that make it possible. Whether you're building an insurance-based, membership, cash-pay, in-person, or telemedicine practice, taking time away is possible. And it is important for long-term sustainability.  ORDER MY NEW BOOK: PRIVATE PRACTICE, ON PURPOSE [https://www.amazon.com/Private-Practice-Purpose-Physicians-Launching/dp/B0GWWM1WNZ] 📌 Resources: Take the Private Practice Readiness Quiz!

#61: Create Your No-Show Policy Before You Open

In this episode, I discuss one of the most important office policies to establish before you open your practice: your no-show policy. We cover what should count as a no-show, whether to charge fees, how to handle repeat offenders, rescheduling rules, and the importance of applying the policy consistently. Whether you're building an in-person, telemedicine, insurance-based, or cash-pay practice, having a clear plan in place can help protect your schedule and create a better experience for both patients and staff.
