Running an orthodontic practice often feels like you're on an island. You are detached from your professional colleagues and have to work side by side with your line workers.

We're not just treating patients; we are running full-fledged businesses, dealing with marketing and finances, and managing a teamᅳall while trying to stay on top of our clinical game. It's a lot, right?

I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Alfred Jackson, who has some great wisdom to share.

Alfred's background is interesting. He was raised in a military family, which gives him this mix of discipline and adaptability that shapes how he runs his multiple practices. But more than that, he's someone who understands the value of stepping out of his comfort zone.

We all get to that point in our careers where we've got a routine down. We know how to run our practices, and we're doing well. But it's easy to get stuck in that comfort zone. For Alfred, it was starting a pediatric practice. He now runs 3 ortho offices and a pedo practice. As you'd expect, this has its own challenges and rewards.

Listen in now and let Dr. Jackson's experiences inspire your next big move!
