$250K Lifestyle or $1M+ Business? Design the Clinic That Fits You with Manju Asdhir

In this episode of The Clinic Boss Show, Rick sits down with Manju, a chiropractor and former clinic owner, to unpack the real journey behind starting and scaling a healthcare practice. Manju shares how she built a thriving business with a $20K startup budget, overcame early struggles, navigated COVID, and ultimately created a sellable asset - while staying true to her lifestyle goals.

From $2K per month and burnout to a 7-figure exit. Manju went from exhausted associate to leading a 17-person team and selling her clinic for millions. All within 9 years. She launched just 2.5 years out of school, built a thriving solopreneur practice, then decided to go all in. She built a business that ran without her.

Whether you want a simple lifestyle clinic or a million-dollar machine, Manju proves both are possible.
