What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

Know your numbers! Knowing your numbers is essential because it directly impacts profitability, growth, and sustainability. By understanding key metrics like revenue, profit margins, client acquisition costs, and treatment profitability, you can make informed decisions about pricing, staffing, and service offerings. It also helps identify trends, manage expenses, and optimize operations. Without a firm grasp on your finances, it’s easy to overspend, undercharge, or miss out on opportunities to scale your business effectively. In short, knowing your numbers is the foundation for a successful, thriving business. 

For readers who have never attended an industry trade show, what's the number-one reason they should attend?

Attending a conference is essential for business growth because it immerses you in the latest industry trends, technologies, and best practices. Conferences provide invaluable networking opportunities, connecting you with industry leaders, suppliers, and potential collaborators who can offer fresh insights and partnerships.
