## Resource

Why do so many optometric practices hit a ceiling in their practice? We know it's not because the owner isn't working hard enough, so what is it? It's because the business was never designed to scale in the first place. Eugene Shatsman joins me back on the show to talk about the ceiling practice owners inevitably hit in their practice—and a system he's created to help owners break through it. In our conversation, we discuss the systems and frameworks behind building a more intentional, scalable practice, including the five operational pillars Eugene believes every successful practice must manage well. We also talk about the hidden KPIs that quietly hurt profitability, how to create stronger accountability within your team, and why elevating the patient experience from transactional to consultative can dramatically improve both growth and practice value.
