“That’s Impossible.” Yeah… For You: The Self-Imposed Limit l 5MF

from The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger · host Dr. Glenn Krieger

What if doubling your take-home next year has less to do with working harder—and more to do with removing the limits you’ve placed on your own practice?Too many orthodontists set goals based on what feels comfortable instead of what might actually be possible. In this episode, I want to challenge you to stop asking, “What do I think I can grow by next year?” and start asking a much bigger question: What would have to change for me to double my take-home, take more time off, and enjoy my practice more?💬Quotes“It was a self-imposed limitation that you put on yourself.” — Dr. Glenn Krieger“I want you to come up with a way that next year you’re going to take off more time, you’re going to double your take-home, and you’re going to be happier.” — Dr. Glenn Krieger🎯 Key TakeawaysIntro: Double your take-home and take more time off (00:00)The rope maker story: How self-imposed limits hold us back (00:38)Why a $3M practice may be capable of much more than $3.4M (01:49)Your inability to imagine growth may be the real constraint (03:13)Growth vs. scale: Why they’re not the same thing (03:43)How technology and remote monitoring can create leverage (04:16)Real orthodontists who dramatically changed their practices (05:11)The challenge: Envision doubling your take-home (05:36)Why the goal is more income with less stress and more time off (08:14)How badly do you actually want the result? (08:42)Building a practice that gives you the freedom to walk away younger (09:14)Your homework: Build the plan instead of dismissing the possibility (10:04)🟦 Additional ResourcesI don’t want you working until you’re 85 because you have to. I want you practicing because you love it—or having the financial freedom to walk away when you choose.So here’s your homework: sit down and figure out what would need to happen for you to double your take-home next year while taking more time off and lowering your stress. Think about your marketing, your technology, your systems, your training, and every assumption you’ve made about what your practice can handle.Don’t start with why it’s impossible.Start with: What would have to be true for this to work?You’ve already proven you’re capable of doing difficult things. Now it’s time to stop measuring against the same nine-foot wall.- Airway Meeting: https://web.orthopreneurs.com/arizonasleepandairway2026 - For more information, visit: https://orthopreneurs.com/- Join our FREE Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/
