This will be a ten week course .. each week there will be an assignment for you and your staff .. these assignments will concern internal office management .. internal and external marketing and other sundry ideas. The beauty and hope of this program is simple. I've been to numerous practice management programs within the 20 years in practice .. I spent the money traveling to other cities .. staying in hotels .. at times closing my office for a day or two .. and usually leaving my CA and staff behind. I got excited .. ready to rock and roll on Monday morning but between the time I left the seminar to the first hour on Monday morning, I forgot to share the excitement with the staff .. the main purpose and goals were lost .. and follow through was incomplete. You can pay between $5000-7000 a year for a consultant .. plus travel and food and it runs to a considerable expense. I am not a replacement to the great consultants within our profession. For a fee of $500 (which is what you幢l be paying me .. I do not have the staff or the special time they have for you) .. you幢l be getting your monies worth .. it廣 up to you to make it work. Therefore .. to be sure that you and staff work together .. to determine where there are holes in practice growth .. to determine where doctor and staff should work together .. to work a plan and see it through .. to correspond with one person on a personal consulting basis (within reason .. I do have an active practice) .. and watch the practice either grow .. begin to bloom .. or remain the same (but now you'll know why) this program will be unique and just right for you. Now in honesty .. this is my first attempt at this .. seems it幢l go smooth .. a lesson assignment each week .. sending me feedback each week .. either you do it or don't .. you'll find the blocks to office growth one way or the other. Many of the ideas will be planting seeds .. within the ten weeks it should begin to grow. You will be busy .. Therefore .. I must have a manageable number of doctors and that number has been reached. My last e- mail returned many replies to join .. I now have a few on standby. You were within the first bunch to get inquire and have the first chance to part of this. Fees will be $50 a week. If you wish to participate .. I幢l send you some forms and a questionnaire. When you send it back please enclose a non refundable fee of $150 which is the first three weeks. The additional $350 needs to be paid within the first five weeks. If you wish to drop out at anytime .. all fees not used will be returned except the initial $150. The textbook is my Smart Start Book .. purchased either via Life University Bookstore for the student fee of $35 (sold to DC廣 for $60) and the optional book the CA廣 Marketing and Public Relations Book also for $35 sold at Life University. Their number is 1-800-543-3514. You can also purchase the book(s) from me at 770-491-3799. First .. I recommend letting me learn of your interest .. having me send you the questionnaire (I幢l need photo ID廣 like a drivers license picture with a name and position in the office .. I like to place faces with names) .. and fees and books we can discuss later. I expect to get going after April 15. But I need to know of your interest as soon as possible. Reply with your full name, address, phone and fax numbers. This will be on a first served basis .. although this e-mail is going out to the initial respondents only. By the way .. of the initial group .. there are no D.C.廣 from the same state and two are overseas. So .. this program should work for all of you .. maybe tailoring here and there. I wait your reply Dr. M
