Hitting that point in your clinic where the waiting list is growing, your schedule is bursting, and you’re thinking, “If I just hire one more person, everything will feel easier”?

But here’s the catch: growth doesn’t always equal profit. In fact, hiring out of sheer overwhelm (rather than actual numbers), can pull your clinic further away from financial stability.

That’s why understanding one simple metric can change everything: your contribution margin. (Don’t worry, it’s less scary than it sounds!) In this episode, we’ll walk through how to calculate your estimated revenue per visit, the difference between variable and fixed costs, and how the contribution margin affects your break-even point. By the end, you’ll feel a whole lot clearer about whether hiring truly moves you forward… or just adds to the chaos.
