In the spring of this year I knew I had to change something. I needed professional help. I had been practicing optometry for 18 years, the past 4 in my own solo practice. We were growing, albeit slowly, but the stress of running the practice was getting to me. The slightest problem and I found myself wanting to run in the opposite direction; compound that with the fact my five year old daughter had just finished 2 1/2 years of chemotherapy for leukemia .... can you say STRESS!!!!? I was ready to sell my practice and go to work at one of the local Wal-Marts.

I got a Sterling postcard, mailed it in and watched their DVD. I wondered if this company could really help me regain control of my professional and private life.

After signing up and taking the courses, I can honestly say it was one of the best professional decisions I have ever made.

Within a few short months I saw a 20% increase in gross productions, but more important to me, I stopped running away from the problems and now handle them head on. Every aspect of managing my practice has been addressed, from hiring the best employees to setting up the right advertisements. I have learned what it takes to be a great executive, something I was never taught in my ten years of college.

My life is virtually stress free. The tools I have been taught and continue to learn are invaluable in both my professional and private life. I invite you to call Sterling at 1-800-933-7538 or click here for a free copy of their new DVD “Successful Practice Management” which includes a no-charge consultation.

Sincerely,

Donna L. Shotwell, OD
