Episode Description from the Publisher

Medical school taught you how to care for patients. It didn't teach you how to run a practice. In this SNACK episode, Miranda Dorta interviews host Tracy Cherpeski about the business knowledge gap that's quietly costing independent practice owners—and what you can do about it whether or not you have a business degree.  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  Tracy breaks down why the clinical mindset—while essential for patient care—can actually work against decisive business leadership. She shares why the clinician hat and the CEO hat are not interchangeable, what delegation really means (it's not abdication), and the most practical first step for any practice owner who feels behind on the business side.  This one is short, direct, and packed with insight that applies whether you're just starting out or years into practice ownership.  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy’s LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page
