In this episode of Practice Growth HQ I speak with Dr. Kory Wegner about what to do if you find yourself in a business rut.
Dr. Kory graduated from dental school in 1991, before purchasing a dental practice and taking it from $200,000 a year to $2.5 million a year. Having retired from clinical work, Kory now helps small business owners to get control of their businesses, so they can get more money, more free time, and feel happy going to work again.
