You're At The Top of Your Game.

Now What?

Your practice is run like a well-oiled machine and you've revamped more systems than a software engineer. But sometimes you wonder... is there more?

Oh yes, there's more.

 We've been there. Our paths have crossed with multiple dental businesses and entrepreneurs of all types. Imagine all the lessons we've learned to run our successful businesses. We want to share them along with our mistakes.

 

 

Does This Sound Familiar?

  • You've sat in classes and wanted to teach the topic...but better!
  • You're ready to share your knowledge with a larger audience than coworkers.
  • Others seek your advice and you truly enjoy seeing the change that happens.
  • Your current job is fine. You're just ... bored. 
  • You're getting stressed out by patients and coworkers and you don't like that feeling. 
  • Growing someone else's business was fulfilling but now it's your time to shine. 

We're not in your head, we've lived it. And we know that once these thoughts take hold they don't go away. They grow and expand as dentistry changes. Your ambitions become hard to ignore. But the fear of the unknown is powerful! 

 

You're Ready For Beyond the Operatory!

Attend a workshop meant to clarify all your brilliant ideas. You'll spend the day with like-minded professionals and come away with a game-plan. 

 We want you to know what's involved, what's possible and how to start.

About The Workshop

Attendees of Teresa's Dental Revenue Network's Billing Breakfast

Agenda - October 10

8am Continental breakfast and networking

8:30am - 5:30pm Beyond the Operatory

Lunch is included. 

Atmosphere

Friday business casual. We'll most likely be in very comfortable shoes! 

Hundreds of dental professionals have attended

Beyond the Operatory to explore career options.

Teresa partnered with Dr. Tony Stefanou back in 2010 to bring real talk to those looking to transition out of the operatory. It started with Teresa wondering why people are so guarded about income potential as a speaker, consultant, sales rep and other opportunities. It shouldn't be that hard to discover income potential in order to make a HUGE decision! They agreed to create a workshop to share not just income but realistic requirements and expectations for the many different career paths.

You shouldn't have to figure it all out along the way!

Your Investment

 

Before you leave your comfortable job, shouldn't you have a real idea about income possibilities and market need? We don't want you to guess.

Guessing is expensive. 


We also know that funds are tight when you're starting a new journey.
