What is Profit?

First, let’s talk about what Profit is not. It is not the salary you pay yourself for being a dentist and treating patients in your office. You pay yourself for being a dentist in the practice just the same as if you’d pay an associate dentist for working in your practice. Please understand Profit is NOT your pay.

If it’s Not Your Pay, then What is Profit?

The best way to help you understand this is to think of yourself as working two completely different jobs for the practice. The first one is being a dentist. The second one is being a business owner and leader. You have taken the risk of business ownership. You do all the extra jobs required as the owner. You deserve to be paid for your time, commitment, effort, and risk. This is what Profit is for.

In order to have Profit Pay, your business must be set up to have Profit over and above the owner’s pay and all the other expenses in the practice.

 

 

 

In the Profit First model, Profit is set aside before you pay your team, yourself, and all the bills. Without this additional profit, you feel like you’re always chasing your tail to get ahead.

Having true profitability gives you freedom. It allows you to breathe easier when it comes to finances. Being less stressed with the money side of your business means you are more relaxed. When you are more relaxed, your patients feel it. Your team members feel it. Your family feels it. And you feel it, too.

Being profitable allows you to focus more on your patient’s needs and serve them at a higher level. It also gives you added time since you don’t have to rush around so much.
