Hidden Costs of Saving: Why Spending on Staff Early Is Essential for Your Startup’s Growth | Dr. Brandon Prior | FF

When you first opened your practice… did you tell yourself this?

“I’ll just do hygiene for now…”
“I’ll save money…”
“I’ll wait until I feel ready…”

Because that exact thinking is what can quietly keep you stuck.

 

You’re in the op doing a prophy…

Meanwhile:

• A bigger case walks out untreated
• Your schedule stays tight but not productive
• You go home tired… but not growing

And you think:
“At least I saved money today.”

Did you?... or did you just trade growth for comfort?

 

Here’s the shift one owner made:

He hired a hygienist 1 month in.

Before he felt ready.

Then he spent on marketing…

Before he felt ready.

Both felt risky.
Both grew the practice FAST.

This line hit me hard:

“I wasn’t protecting my cash… I was limiting my capacity.”

So let’s make this real:

What are YOU doing right now… that someone else should be doing?

Hygiene?
Phones?
Insurance?
Marketing?

Comment ONE thing you know you need to let go of?
