As optometry practice owners, many of us engage in a constant tug of war between running a successful practice whilst maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
The old adage, “You can’t work on your practice if you work in your practice,” makes attaining a satisfactory work-life balance extremely challenging.
Tracking statistics and monitoring patient data is not merely a helpful strategy; rather, it’s an essential component of running a successful and sustainable business. You can’t improve what you don’t measure, but simply measuring/gauging the health of your practice by whether you have enough money in the bank each month is fool’s gold and an unhealthy business practice that many of us fall victim to.
Statistics and patient habits provide invaluable insights into every facet of our work, from financial performance to patient satisfaction, enabling us, as owners, to make data-driven decisions that improve our practices and help reduce the burdens and concerns associated with running a business.
If you’re searching for a better work-life balance, along with a healthier practice and bottom-line, Eyecare Republic and its vendor partners are helping independent ODs stay competitive, save money, and stay in control of how they practice.
