Joe, Ken and Ernie discuss the best strategies for balancing the demands of running a Group Practice, with the rest of your life: your family, your friends, your self-care, your community and other things that give your life meaning.  There are times in the life of a Group Practice owner that demand a huge crunch of time, but eventually those times should occur less and less as you develop systems to delegate most of the major tasks of running the business to other staff members.  Learn how the 3 of us have managed to build $2 million + practices, take lots of vacations and spend alot of time with families and friends.
