20/20 Money Episode #281 -Hiring an associate full time vs easing into it: the discussion, numbers, and mindset for optometry practice owners with Nathan Hayes

March 25, 2024

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Nathan Hayes from IDOC. 

Nathan joins me back on the show to discuss and dialogue about the two basic ways practice owners can think about the way in which they hire associates for their practice: easing into it by bringing them into the practice gradually or proactively planning ahead by stockpiling cash in the practice and thus then “making the leap” by hiring an associate full-time—and then intentionally stewarding the practice to success by ensuring profitability in as timely manner as practicable for the practice.
