20/20 Money Episode # 182 – The 3 basic variables that influence the revenue (and thus profitability) of an optometry practice

May 2, 2022

Sometimes we can lose focus of just how simple business can be, and an optometric practice isn’t any different. In this episode I’ll break down the three factors that, when multiplied together, will give you the top line, gross revenue of your practice. I’ll then walk you through the mindset and logistics of how you can use this number to start thinking about intentionally creating the practice that ultimately serves you and your personal goals.
