The Ultimate Practice Building Book

How To Regain Control Of Your Practice, Achieve A Competitive Advantage In Your Local Market, And Reconnect With The Joy Of Medicine In The New Healthcare Economy


By: David W. Zahaluk, MD

Published: Dec 21 2007
Format: Paperback, 106 pages
ISBN 1-4251-3639-7
Publisher: Trafford Publishing





"Taking responsibility for your practice's success is the first step", writes physician and founder of Maximum Income For Physicians David Zahaluk, MD, in his medical practice building book The Ultimate Practice Building Book: How To Regain Control Of Your Practice, Achieve A Competitive Advantage In Your Local Market, And Reconnect With The Joy Of Medicine In The New Healthcare Economy. The author demonstrates the power of marketing, systems, and proven business techniques to add more patients, work less, and earn more money in a medical practice.

David Zahaluk understands that medical doctors often have little or no hands on business training. As a result, their practices don't develop to their full potential as successful businesses. The author establishes from the very beginning of the book that the doctor, as owner of the medical practice, is responsible for its profitability as a business and for the proper management of its staff. At the same time as the practice is growing, and becoming more established in the community, the doctor is also able to care for the health of more patients.



David Zahaluk, MD (photo left) recognizes that a well run medical practice benefits everyone including the doctor, the staff, and the patients. A medical practice, run as a business, not only generates more income for the doctor and ensures that the staff is also well paid, but also frees up time for more personal patient care. A doctor, whose office runs on turn key type systems, can be left in the hands of the staff while the doctor works with more patients. At the same time, the doctor, as owner of the business, can take more time away from the practice for speaking, teaching, recreation, and family events. A well run practice creates a balanced life for all concerned.

For me, the power of the book is David Zahaluk's application of well established principles of marketing, branding, operational systems, and management to the medical practice. The author's insistence that the doctor take a more business oriented approach to the medical practice keeps the office viable and open for needed patient care. The author effectively changes the entire mindset of the doctor, from one of a doctor on staff, to one of owner of a successful professional business. That crucial step is essential for any medical professional to achieving financial freedom, whole enhancing patient care.

I highly recommend the practical guide to developing a medical practice as a successful business The Ultimate Practice Building Book: How To Regain Control Of Your Practice, Achieve A Competitive Advantage In Your Local Market, And Reconnect With The Joy Of Medicine In The New Healthcare Economy by David Zahaluk, MD, to any medical professional seeking to improve their income, operate a more successful medical practice, and enjoy a better quality of life. Not only does the doctor, as owner of the business benefit, but the office employees and staff physicians gain security of employment and income as well. Patients who choose the medical practice as their healthcare provider also benefit from better health and more personalized care.

Read the medical practice changing book The Ultimate Practice Building Book: How To Regain Control Of Your Practice, Achieve A Competitive Advantage In Your Local Market, And Reconnect With The Joy Of Medicine In The New Healthcare Economy by David Zahaluk, MD, and develop the medical practice of your dreams. Instead of long hours, low profitability, and less time for enjoying life, the author provides the tools for positive control of a growing medical business. The book is a power tool for building greater personal satisfaction while caring for the health and well being of others.

He describes the most common errors and offers a solution for them all. In no nonsense language, he cuts to the heart of what ails a business and offers some powerful cures.

Jim Muehlhausen is my internet radio show guest on Blog Business Success; hosted live on Blog Talk Radio.

The show airs live on Thursday, June 25, at 8:00 pm Eastern Time; 5:00 pm Pacific Time.

Business Adviser and author of the conventional wisdom challenging book The 51 Fatal Business Errors and How to Avoid Them, Jim Muehlhausen, gets straight to the point about the fatal mistakes that are killing your business. You will learn:

* Why conventional business wisdom is often very wrong

* How to avoid the fatal errors that can doom your business

* How to become a great CEO of your growing company

* How to take positive action to build a growing, successful company



Jim Muehlhausen (photo left) has been a business owner since he was nine years old. Alright, selling pens to his classmates might not qualify as a business, but Jim is a born entrepreneur and had the good fortune to grow up in an entrepreneurial family. Jim’s grandfather created one of the largest spring manufacturing companies in the U.S., and from a very young age, Jim participated in the company, learning the inner-workings of business in his teens.

Jim graduated from Valparaiso University with a B.S. in Accounting, passing the CPA exam while still in college. Jim had always planned to go to work in the family business.

Ten years after graduating from Indiana University Law and passing the bar exam, Jim admitted that he only went to law school so he wouldn’t have to be an accountant — once an entrepreneur always an entrepreneur — but after one semester of law school, Jim was bored stiff. He decided to purchase a franchise, and he chose Meineke Discount Mufflers, despite knowing nothing about cars and lacking even a lick of mechanical ability. At twenty-two years of age, Jim found himself having to talk the President of Meineke himself into taking his franchise fee. Jim ended up with three successful locations and sold the businesses for a healthy profit.

Jim then started a manufacturing company and ran it for nine years. In 1999, Jim’s company was honored by Inc. Magazine and Michael Porter from Harvard Business School as the 53rd fastest growing company in the Inc. ICC 100. Jim sold the company a year later and actually took a job with an enterprise software company.

Jim then entered the CEO coaching business. Over the past eight years, Jim has personally coached hundreds of business owners in over 2500 face-to-face coaching sessions and has clients in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

The 51 Fatal Business Errors by Jim Muehlhausen - Book review



The 51 Fatal Business Errors and How to Avoid Them

By: Jim Muehlhausen

Published: April 25, 2008, 3rd edition
ISBN-10: 0981608205
ISBN-13: 978-0981608204
Format: Paperback, 192 pages
Publisher: Mulekick Publishing













"I want to move past the temporary excitement of a new idea and into permanent gain created by making meaningful, lasting changes", writes management adviser Jim Muehlhausen in his conventional wisdom challenging book The 51 Fatal Business Errors and How to Avoid Them. With an iconoclastic style, that is long on practical advice, and short on the usual platitudes, the author turns the small business owner or manager into an effective CEO.

Jim Muehlhausen understands that much, if not most conventional wisdom surrounding business management is detrimental to the health and growth of the company. The author presents a series of what he considers fatal errors, organized into groups, that teach what he calls the School of Hard Knocks. Each of the fifty-one mistakes is described, along with a real world example of the error, and followed up by a solution. The format provides for easy reference, and a refresher course, in the event that conventional wisdom attempts to creep back into the CEO's thinking and management. Each chapter becomes an action plan, with an accompanying "Mule-kick" to jolt the reader into action.



Jim Muehlhausen (photo left) recognizes that many business books, and much of the advice given to CEOs is for large corporations. The author's goal is to turn every small business CEO into a great business builder and agent for growth. Because the author believes that every CEO has the potential for greatness, the book is designed to challenge, extract, and develop that innate talent. To that end, Jim Muehlhausen moves the reader far outside their comfort zone, creating the conditions for organizational change. The writing style is punchy, often humourous, and never dull, making it ideal for a busy CEO.

For me, the power of the book is twofold. First of all, Jim Muehlhausen takes a no nonsense, direct approach to challenging conventional wisdom. Many of the author's recommendations are in direct opposition to the usual business management practices. That iconoclastic technique, that forces the reader to examine every aspect of standard business thought, creates an environment for positive change. The second power of the book is the real world example, placed in every chapter. Every one of the fifty-one errors has a real world example, and each mistake has a powerful solution, presented for consideration by the CEO.

I highly recommend the thought provoking book The 51 Fatal Business Errors and How to Avoid Them by Jim Muehlhausen, to any small business CEO who truly wants to build and operate a superior business. The book covers all areas of business from personnel management, to sales and marketing, to financial management, to daily operations. At the end of the book is a section of "Mule-kicks", to encourage the CEO take positive action, toward applying the principles described in the book.

Read the action oriented book The 51 Fatal Business Errors and How to Avoid Them by Jim Muehlhausen, and become a business changing CEO, focused on building a growing company, with the best people, that achieves its full potential for greatness.
