What do you think is the most valuable aspect of your practice? To us, it's goal setting - the vital core of achieving practice freedom.

In this episode of Practice Freedom, we’re discussing how our team recently dug deep into setting 90-day goals or "rocks" and saw first-hand how transformative they can be. In our latest team session, we dedicated time to defining our next six rocks, an exercise that invigorated us and brought us closer as a team.

Realistic goal setting and accurate prediction skills can be the difference between success and failure. We’ve seen how unattainable goals can deflate a team’s morale and, in contrast, how achievable objectives can propel us forward, bolstered by each successful completion.

We explore learning from our predictions versus actual outcomes and share examples of goals that have worked for us, from planning for a conference to the seemingly simple task of sending client gifts.

Get ready to level up your prediction skills, set your goals, and join us on the journey towards practice freedom. It's time to get ahead of the game and make early decisions that will profoundly impact your healthcare private practice.

In this episode, you will hear:

  • Setting SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound) in healthcare private practice to unlock practice freedom
  • A recent team exercise where Mark’s team set their "rocks" or 90-day goals for the next quarter
  • The importance of setting realistic goals and accurate prediction skills
  • Why setting unattainable goals can negatively impact team morale
  • Case studies of attainable goals like strategizing for an upcoming conference well in advance and planning thoughtful client gifts
  • Staying a step ahead, making early decisions, and setting realistic goals to improve prediction skills
  • Providing feedback and engaging in ongoing conversations about goal setting in practices
  • The destructive impact of setting unattainable goals on team morale and the importance of focusing on achievable objectives
