The Growth Phase That Breaks Most Owners

You've built past the startup struggle. Revenue is solid. You've got staff, systems, and momentum. You should feel successful.

Instead, everything feels harder. Managing people is draining. Profitability is squeezed. You're working more hours than when you were smaller. Growth created complexity instead of freedom.

Why? Because you're stuck in the middle - no longer a small practice that runs on hustle, but not yet a scaled business with real systems and leadership.

On April 21st, Jamey Schrier and Tom DiAngelis will explore what makes this phase so difficult and reveal the critical shifts practice owners must make to break through instead of staying stuck. During this Fireside Chat, we're going to dive deep into:

Topic 1:

The Middle-Class Trap:
Why Managing People, Systems, and Profit Simultaneously Breaks You

Topic 2:
Clinician to Leader:

The Transition Most Practice Owners Never Make

Topic 3:

Breaking Through the Ceiling:
What Separates Owners Who Scale From Those Who Stay Stuck

What Happens in the Middle: The $750K to $3M Reality

Managing people is exhausting. Building systems feels impossible. Profitability gets squeezed even though revenue is up. You're working more hours than when you were smaller, wondering when it's supposed to get easier.

Here's the reality: Most practice owners between $750K and $3M are stuck because they're trying to scale with the same approach that got them here. They're still operating like a small practice while dealing with big-practice problems.

Successful practice owners who break through make critical shifts that stuck owners miss. They transition from doing to leading. They build systems that actually work. They stop being the answer to every problem.


That's exactly what we're going to explore in this Fireside Chat.
What you'll discover:

  • Why the middle phase breaks most practice owners (and how to avoid it)
  • The transition from clinician to leader that most owners never make
  • What actually separates owners who scale from those who stay stuck

During our Fireside Chat, Tom DiAngelis and I will share real examples from navigating this phase ourselves and what we've learned coaching hundreds of practice owners through it.

The middle phase doesn't have to break you. You just need to understand what actually needs to change to break through.

Secure your spot now so you can stop struggling in the middle and start scaling with clarity.

This Fireside Chat Is For You If:

  • You're generating $750K to $3M but growth feels harder, not easier
  • Managing people is draining you more than treating patients ever did
  • Your profitability is squeezed despite higher revenue
  • You're working more hours now than when your practice was smaller
  • You feel stuck between being too big to hustle and too small to scale
  • You're still the answer to every problem in your practice
  • You wonder when success is supposed to feel like success

If any of this hits home, this conversation will show you exactly what makes the middle phase so hard and the critical shifts required to break through. We're going to explore the transition from clinician to leader and what actually separates owners who scale from those who stay stuck.
