Time? Money? Cell phones, cars and TV's aren't the only thing changing at warp speed. The technology we use in our practices is doing the same thing at the same speed. How can you afford to keep up when the least expensive piece of equipment you might buy can be same price as a nice car! On this episode of the Power Hour Gary gets directly to the point and offers up suggestions and strategies to help with this tech dilemma.

This time of the year, we all have the best intentions of improving our practices and personal lives. Yet somehow, no matter how hard we try, our best intentions get side tracked and derailed. Listen to this first episode of 2018 where Gary shares his consulting teams' strategies for setting goals and actually getting them done. Remember - SAYING you want to increase your practice revenues, cut expenses, see more (or less!) patients or for that matter lose weight is one thing. DOING any of those things is another! This episode will get your year jump started and show you how to keep the momentum you establish going throughout the course of the year!

What is often talked about, easy to calculate and rarely used? That would be "chair costs." This week, Gary discusses exactly what the terminology means, how to calculate yours and what to do with the numbers you get.

Enchroma's web site says their glasses, " . . . open up a world of color for people with color blindness. Our products provide vibrant, accurate color . . ." Seems straightforward enough, until you discuss the lenses with doctors. On one side are doctors who say, "Patients report they see better, and that's what matters" and on the other, "If they can't see any extra Ishihara plates, what's the point?" Listen to this episode of the Power Hour when Enchroma supporters, optician Barry Santini and Dr. Justin Bazan explain why they prescribe the lenses – and listen to callers and others who explain why they don't. Then, you decide if Enchroma is right for your practice!

In what will probably be the shortest episode ever, Gary reveals the atomic powered tool the every entrepreneur has, and never uses. It's one of those "I can't believe it was this obvious and staring me in the face all the time" things that you WILL be able to use right after the show. Short, to the point and powerful – on this episode of the Power Hour!
