In this episode, I tackle a great question I received while speaking at a BTL event: "How do you know you're ready to expand to new locations?" Brent and I learned the hard way that expanding too quickly across multiple states wasn't the best approach. If we could do it again, we would focus on saturating our first clinic, expanding only when it couldn’t grow any further.
I share key insights on scaling efficiently, the risks of over-expansion, and how to strategically choose a second location. It’s not about just finding new patients, but about selecting the right area where clients want your services and have the means to pay. We also dive into why smaller clinics with fewer employees can be more manageable and profitable, avoiding the headaches of mega-clinics.
Lastly, I talk about the importance of maintaining core values in new locations, even if that means making tough decisions like letting go of staff who don't align. It’s all about creating a strong foundation that allows you to grow sustainably while staying true to your mission.
