Transplanting healthy bacteria has been successful

Transplanting healthy bacteria has been successful in resolving cases of certain gut problems.

If you’re like many small business owners, payda

If you’re like many small business owners, payday probably goes something like this: You pay your team. You pay your bills. And maybe, just maybe, if there’s enough left over, you pay yourself. ⁠
⁠
And while that may seem like the only way you can make things work, let us tell you a secret: Paying yourself last isn’t just hurting your lifestyle, savings, and morale…it’s hurting your practice’s value. ⁠
⁠
If you want to move beyond just having a “job” at your practice, there’s an important formula you need to master: EBITDA. When you harness the power of a strong EBITDA, you don’t just get paid what you’re actually worth, you also start thinking differently, helping your practice’s value grow, and opening yourself up to incredible future opportunities.⁠
⁠
Learn how pumping up your EBITDA gives you leverage, options, and peace of mind!⁠
