How to Take 27 Weeks Off Per Year and Make the Same Income From Your Practice !
If you’re a solo practitioner, on Week 1, you work Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for slightly longer hours with no lunch break — a Straight 8. Week 2 you’ll take off Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, then work Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and you’ll have seven straight days off every other week with no adverse effect to your bottom line. That’s 27 full weeks off every year! If you have another GP in your practice, then, while you’re working the “Week 1” schedule, your associate works the “Week 2” days, then you switch. Whether you have one or two (or more) doctors, your patients will love this as you’re effectively increasing the days of the week during which you’re now available! If you’re interested in implementing this concept for your practice, reach out to your Gems Concierge to set up a call with your coach. By using this scheduling method, you’ll improve the lives of your patients as well as your own.
It sounds too good to be true, right? You can’t possibly take 27 weeks off and still make the same revenue. Well, not only can you make the same money, but if you add in a few other Gems, you can make more! Here’s how. STRAIGHT 6 Dr. Rick Kushner came up with an effective way of scheduling he calls “Straight 6.” Instead of working an eight-hour day with a one-hour lunch break, he recommends skipping the lunch hour and working straight through the day. The rationale behind his thought process is that the time before and after lunch is not nearly as productive as the rest of the day. From this idea, I spawned a way of scheduling that worked better for my patients and me. Rather than work the traditional 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., I scheduled my “Straight 6” (which was
actually seven hours) from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. with no reserved lunch break.
Lunch can always be grabbed on the go or taken during a patient cancellation. However you approach lunch, it’s essential to ensure it’s not blocked out on your schedule. When I switched to this model, I worked only three days a week chairside, but I produced the same or better net profit as my prior four- day work week. 27 WEEKS OFF A good friend of mine, Mr. Allen Thornberg, came up with another way of scheduling that you can add on to your Straight 6. It will effectively give you extended time off. Rather than work the same three days in a row every week, alternate which part of the week you work.
