## Resource

In this quick episode, I wanted to review how I calculate the most important KPI in my practice. As practice owners, it's critical to know your numbers. I like to stay hands-on with my bookkeeping so I can watch my expenses. I'm going to review how I calculate my specific daily BAM, and how I account for an additional risk premium as a practice owner vs staying an associate.
