What if I told you that for less than the cost of one case, you could buy back hours of your week—and finally focus on the work that actually grows your practice?

In this Five Minute Friday, I’m challenging one of the biggest blind spots I see in orthodontists today: the belief that “I can do it all myself.” After coming off a high-level Orthopreneurs RD meeting, it became crystal clear—most of you aren’t lacking solutions… you’re lacking time. And more importantly, you’re holding onto tasks you should’ve delegated years ago.

Quotes

“The overwhelming majority of you are way too busy, don’t have enough time, and are making enough money that you can afford an executive assistant.”

— Dr. Glenn Krieger

“If you can take $20,000 a year to free you up and focus on the things you need to be doing, it’ll be the best money you ever spend.”

— Dr. Glenn Krieger

🟦 I’ve seen firsthand how freeing up even a few hours a week can completely change how you lead your practice and live your life.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck in the day-to-day, start exploring executive assistant options—even just 5–10 hours a week. And if you want guidance on where to start, reach out to me directly. I’m always happy to help you find solutions that actually move the needle.
