Delegate, delegate, delegate. In the four stages of entrepreneurship for orthodontists one thing is clear. Orthodontic practices with the highest delegation move to the fourth and most successful stage more easily. Most orthodontic practices eventually enter early stage three of the entrepreneurial stages and do not progress much further. One of the key reasons is the ability and capability of delegation. Orthodontic practices that start delegating early and ensuring that the team members have the proper training, mindset, and measurement are orthodontic practices that move more easily and quickly through the four stages where each stage is financially more rewarding and stress levels decrease dramatically.
