694: Kiera Dent - The Benefits of Being Business Intrigued

The Self-Employed Life

Do you know what it means to be business intrigued? Answering that question is what this episode is all about. Many professionals have experience with their craft or trade, but sometimes they have to learn about business through experience and the school of hard knocks. There seems to be a lack of business education in the professions. Kiera Dent is doing her best to bridge this information gap and help professionals get the most from their business.

Kiera is the owner and founder of the Dental A Team, a coaching and consulting business specializing in helping dental practices and other clients increase revenue and save time by running a systemized practice. She has consulted in over 100 dental offices nationwide. Kiera and her team offer in-person dental office coaching to help create a culture and structure that increases efficiency and revenue.

We have a great discussion that tackles leaving school with specialized knowledge but missing the business acumen needed to run a multi-million dollar practice. Kiera shares how she uses a three-pronged approach to help dental businesses run like a business. We also learn what all of the most successful practices have in common and attributes that lead to faster growth and revenue increases.
