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!⁠
