How one owner left his practice for 30 days—and why more owners should consider it

from 20/20 MONEY: The Business of Optometry · host Adam Cmejla

If you've ever felt chained to your practice and the thought of stepping away for an extended period of time felt impossible, I PROMISE you do not want to miss this inspiring and yet very pragmatic conversation. Dr. Jeremy Ciano joins me back on the show to share his journey of taking a recent sabbatical and what it taught him about business and life.   We talk about the challenges of stepping away from a practice, the importance of intentional planning, and building a team that can operate without the owner being involved day to day. Jeremy also reflects on the personal growth that came from taking time off and why being intentional with both your business and your life matters more than most practice owners realize.   Resources: Book a Triage call with Adam Download the Practice Owner's Financial Toolkit 20/20 Money Ultimate Financial Success Masterclass OD Mastermind Interest Form Tim Ferriss's Fear Setting Die With Zero (book by Bill Perkins) I'VE BEEN HACKED!!!
