A quick exercise for any practice owner setting next year's number.

It's easy to say "I want to make $1.2 million." It's harder, and far more useful, to know what that means day to day. So break it down.

$1.2 million a year, across about 184 clinical days, is roughly $6,525 a day. At an average of $500 per patient, that's about 14 patients a day, four days a week. Suddenly the goal isn't a vague number. It's a specific, visible target you can look at and ask: is that doable on my current schedule, or does something have to change?

That's the whole idea behind what I call Business Model Math, and it's what turns a goal into an actual plan. This week's post walks through it step by step.

A better way to set next year's goal, for any practice owner staring at a blank plan right now.

Most of us set the number backward. We take last year, add ten percent, and call it a target. But that number isn't tied to anything, which is exactly why it's so easy to abandon the first hard month.

Try it the other way. Start with the life you want - your household, your kids' college, the trips, enough to retire when you'd like to - and price it out. That total is your real target, and now the practice has a job with your actual life underneath it. Same size number, maybe. Completely different pull.

The best part: working backward tells you something a ten percent bump never can. Whether you're on track, already past enough, or short with time to fix it.
This week's post walks through the whole thing.

A reframe to end the month on, for any practice owner who feels like they work hard and never quite get ahead.

All month I've been writing about what you owe - the IRS, your break-even, your estimated taxes. But there's one debt nobody ever sends you a bill for: the one you owe yourself.

Think about it. You never miss payroll. You never miss a tax deadline. Everyone else gets paid on time. But your own paycheck, your own savings, and the goals you started this practice for tend to get pushed to "next year," over and over. You've basically become a creditor in your own business, and you keep letting it pay you back last.
This week's post is about what you owe yourself and how to move yourself up the list.

Because the practice was always supposed to fund your life, not the other way around.

Quick one for practice owners who just made a quarterly tax payment.

You sent the IRS a check on the 15th. Do you know if it was the right amount? Most owners don't, and it's an easy thing to get wrong in either direction.

There's a "safe harbor" that keeps you from owing a penalty - for most owners, paying in 110% of last year's tax across the four quarters. But safe from the penalty isn't the same as paid the right amount. Have a big year and you'll still owe in April. Have a down year and you've handed the IRS extra cash that could have been working in your practice.

The good news: right now, with three quarters of real numbers, is the best time all year to check and true up your final payment. This week's post walks through exactly how.

A hard truth about break-even that most practice owners never hear.

The textbook version, revenue equals expenses, is close to useless as a goal. You can hit it and still have paid yourself nothing, set aside nothing for taxes, and banked zero profit. You didn't lose money, but you didn't win either.

Your real break-even is higher. It's the monthly collections that cover your operating costs, your taxes set aside, a fair paycheck for you, your loan payments, and a profit slice of at least 5% on top. Run below it and you don't feel it right away, but you're failing slowly, because you can't fund the practice and pay yourself properly at the same time.

This week's post shows you how to build your real number, including the debt detail almost everyone misses: https://prowisefinancial.com/post/the-break-even-number-most-accountants-get-wrong

A quick reframe that saves practice owners a lot of stress every April.
When a tax bill blindsides you, it's easy to blame the bill. Too high. Unfair. But the tax was going to be whatever it was going to be. What hurt was finding out too late to change it.

By the time your return is done in the spring, the year is closed. Your entity, your retirement contributions, how you paid your family, when you bought equipment, all of those levers are already behind you. Catch your number back in the summer, and they're still live. That's the whole game.

A shocking tax bill isn't a tax problem. It's a timing problem. This week's post shows you how to fix the timing: https://prowisefinancial.com/post/how-to-avoid-a-shocking-tax-bill-before-its-too-late

Last summer, a practice owner took her first two-week vacation in nine years, and didn't check the bank account once. (She's a composite of the owners I work with, but the story is real.)

A year earlier it would have been impossible. She worked five clinical days a week and felt every day off in the deposits. The practice didn't run. She did.

What changed wasn't working harder. She built a few simple money systems: the cash learned to sort itself, her own pay went on autopilot, and someone besides her could see the numbers and handle the routine calls. She also got a clean enough look at the books to see that her associate was profitable, so she wasn't the only one carrying the load.
She cut a clinical day, took the trip, and the practice paid her the whole time she was gone.

This week's post tells the whole story: https://prowisefinancial.com/post/she-took-a-2-week-vacation-the-practice-ran-fine

Here's a question that tells you a lot about your practice: could you take a real week off without your phone blowing up?

For most owners, the honest answer is no. And it usually isn't the team's fault. It's the money. Every dollar still runs through you, so the day you leave, the place stalls.

This week's post is about the three systems that change that. The cash learns to sort itself. Your own pay runs on autopilot. And someone besides you can see the numbers and handle the routine calls. Put those in place and stepping back stops being wishful thinking.
