One of my favorite quotes by Benjamin Franklin is when he says \\u201cBy failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.\\u201d

And yet.. Time and time again, when I talk with owners who are struggling to grow their practice, it almost always comes back to a lack of a proper plan.

While I\\u2019m a huge fan of taking action (it\\u2019s essential), a solid strategic plan can make all the difference especially when acquiring a practice.

Today I\\u2019m excited to share my conversation with John Cotton, Founder of Dental Team Performance. He\\u2019s helped hundreds of new and veteran practice owners alike create and execute their strategic plan.
