He discusses the concept of bias and how it influences decision-making, particularly when it comes to buying and selling.

In this episode, Jay Geier dives into the challenges that prevent some doctors from growing their practices. He identifies five key barriers that hold practitioners back: the pursuit of perfection, staying within their comfort zones, confusion or resistance regarding the role of money, neglecting to track key metrics, and the illusion that high-quality work alone is enough to succeed. Jay explains how each of these tendencies creates obstacles to growth and emphasizes the importance of shifting mindsets and actions to achieve success. By understanding these common pitfalls and overcoming them, doctors can unlock their practice’s full potential. Jay encourages listeners to reflect on these barriers, challenge their assumptions, and seek help if they find themselves stuck.
