This is certainly the time of year for you and your team members to be more intentional
about creating fond holiday memories with family and friends. But if almost everyone
takes the last few weeks of the year off, your business will suffer some hefty unintentional
consequences; come January and February, you'll not only be lamenting credit card bills
but also dealing with the inevitable damage to your practice and your bottom line.
You'll be thinking, "How did I allow this to happen ... again?!" Or, maybe you won't
recognize that something happened; you'll just be disappointed with how the new year
is starting out.
The "how" is always the same: You took yourself out of the race mentally and physically
during the home stretch. You allowed yourself to be too distracted by turkeys, trees and the
man in the red suit. You allowed your team to spend more time swapping cookie recipes
than booking new patients. And you all took too much time off. Consequently, you suffered
a double whammy: You not only lost the race to this year's revenue goal but also ruined
your momentum going into next year's race. Combined, you negatively affected three to
four months of production.
The bigger question is: why? Why do you do this to your business every year? Instead
of ending the year with a bang, you go out with a fizzle. Instead of starting the new year
with momentum, you spend much of the first quarter just trying to regain traction. When
you have to repeat that cycle of damage recovery year after year, it's virtually impossible to
establish a long-term growth pattern for the practice.
It doesn't have to be that way! It's a lot easier to face all those holiday bills
when you've ended the year strong and are already on a growth trajectory
early in the new year. To help you do that, here are three key areas on
which to focus that will not only keep you growing this year but also
set you up for continued growth next year.
