• The Master Escape Plan!
    Feb 14 2024

    At the Veterinary Survival Show, we're here to support our listeners through all stages of owning a practice... including the one that one wants to talk about, selling. Some may call it an "exit strategy", but we prefer the term master escape plan! We know it can be scary to think about parting with your practice, but we also know how important it is to be ready for anything. In this episode, cohosts Mark McGaunn and Jenni George discuss what to consider, steps to take, and more for implementing your master escape plan!

    Does the idea of taking on a business partner scare you? If so, you're not alone... and not wrong - it's a big deal!

We'll cover that too! This is one of our most information-packed episodes! Whether you're a veterinary clinic owner, or a recent vet school grad, you won't want to miss it!
