E71: Why Autumn Is The Perfect Time for an Audit on Your House-Call Practice

As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin their colorful descent in Western New York, it's more than just a signal that fall is on its way. September marks a key moment to step back and focus on your business, especially if you’re running a dental house-call practice. With the kids back in school and a brief respite before the holiday rush of Q3, this is the prime time to conduct a thorough audit of your practice. Assess whether you achieved your goals, identify any shifts in priorities, and set new objectives that reflect your evolving vision. This reflective pause can ensure that your practice is not just surviving but thriving as you head into the new year.

Taking a day off from patient appointments may seem counterintuitive, but it's crucial for long-term growth. When I evaluated my progress and personal goals after becoming a mom, I recognized a paradigm shift where quality time with my daughter took precedence over strict income targets. This led me to establish firm boundaries, such as limiting patient appointments to align better with my personal life. The nimbleness of a house call practice allows for these kinds of quick adaptations, sparing you from bureaucratic hurdles and long waiting periods that can plague traditional practices.

For those still in the early stages of establishing a dental house-call practice, now is an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in learning and strategic planning. My free ebook, "A Day in the Life of a House Call Dentist," and the comprehensive online course, Dental House Call Practice Academy (DHCPA), offer valuable resources to get started. Taking decisive action today can set the stage for a successful 2025, providing the structure and momentum needed to reach your professional and personal goals. Whether you're adapting your current practice or starting anew, use this September to make impactful changes that will benefit you and your future patients.
