Sandeep Kumar reveals the strategic pivots that transformed his career from a single practitioner to the architect behind a network of 150 dental practices spanning multiple countries.Qualified as a dentist in India, Kumar's journey began with working as a dental nurse in the UK before requalifying in 2000. Within just three years, he purchased his first practice and dramatically expanded it from one surgery to six. But the real transformation came when he made the courageous decision to step away from clinical dentistry entirely in 2017—a move many dentists fear would collapse their income."When you're starting out, there's no such thing called work-life balance," Kumar explains. "You just have to put your hours in and work your ass off. Nobody's going to teach you." This raw honesty about the entrepreneurial journey sets the tone for a conversation filled with practical wisdom rather than sugar-coated theory.The episode explores the evolution of dental marketing from Yellow Pages to digital strategies, the crucial shift from owner-operator to owner-only business models, and the birth of the MySmile Network—now 150 practices strong and expanding internationally. Kumar shares how finding time to analyze patient data led to the insight that transformed his business: customers were specifically asking for Invisalign by name, revealing an opportunity to build practices entirely around this treatment modality.For dentists contemplating business growth in 2025, Kumar offers three practical cornerstones: surround yourself with exceptional people, embrace technology to enhance patient understanding, and build your personal profile as patients increasingly research providers before making appointments. His philosophy of "who not how"—finding the right people rather than trying to do everything yourself—emerges as perhaps the most valuable lesson for scaling dental businesses beyond the limitations of your clinical hours.Whether you're an associate dreaming of practice ownership or an established principal looking to expand, this conversation offers a blueprint for building something extraordinary beyond the dental chair.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Wonder what's really happening with corporate buyers and whether NHS practices still command premium prices? The data might surprise you.Luke Moore, Head of Dental Elite's practice brokerage team, joins us to unpack the revealing findings from their annual dental market report—a comprehensive analysis representing roughly 25% of all UK dental practice transactions. This insider's view of completed sales (not just valuations) delivers eye-opening insights for anyone considering buying or selling a practice.We dismantle the prevailing "urban myth" that corporates dominate today's acquisition landscape. The reality? Independent dentists purchasing their first, second or third practices remain the primary buyers, while the largest groups have pivoted toward fewer, larger acquisitions with specific strategic focus.The conversation explores why mixed practices command the highest multiples from independent buyers (averaging 3.87x FMT), while private practices are the "jewels in the crown" for corporate buyers (averaging 7.36x EBITDA). Luke shares fascinating details about regional valuation disparities, with practices in recruitment-challenged areas selling for significantly lower multiples than their urban counterparts.Perhaps most revealing is the emerging trend of sellers prioritising complete payment at completion over potentially higher valuations with deferred components—a shift Luke attributes partly to mixed post-sale experiences reported by principals who've previously sold to larger groups.Whether you're a practice owner contemplating your exit strategy, an associate exploring ownership opportunities, or simply interested in the business of dentistry, this data-rich conversation provides crucial context for navigating today's complex dental marketplace.Earn complimentary verifiable CPD by completing the associated assessment through the link in our show notes.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

While time travel remains out of reach, education offers a powerful alternative—pulling future knowledge into your present reality.Having reflected deeply on my own financial journey, I've identified ten crucial money perspectives I wish I'd embraced earlier in life. These aren't just abstract theories but transformative mindset shifts that could dramatically accelerate your wealth creation.The first revelation might surprise you: the greatest investment risk isn't investing at all. We've normalized spending without hesitation while approaching investing with excessive caution—a backwards approach when you consider that spending guarantees loss while investing at least offers potential returns. Similarly, understanding that "market declines are temporary while advances are permanent" provides crucial context for weathering financial storms. When you zoom out from sensationalized headlines about "crashes," the consistent upward trajectory of quality assets becomes undeniable.Perhaps most liberating is recognizing money as a human invention—a social construct that allows us to question whether our financial beliefs truly serve us. This applies to how we view sales conversations (potential value exchanges rather than uncomfortable interactions), time-money relationships (building "money trees" for recurring income), and the misleading belief that hard work automatically equals financial success (strategy matters more than hours).By developing high-leverage skills like business management, coding, and sales, you can create disproportionate returns on your time investment. And remember: your circle largely determines your success, so intentionally seek diverse perspectives from those achieving what you aspire to create.Ready to transform your financial future? Start by questioning which of these money perspectives might be holding you back. Your future self will thank you.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

The path to financial freedom is simpler than you think, though it often goes against conventional advice.Books like Rich Dad, Poor Dad, The Psychology of Money, and many lesser-known gems all point to the same core idea: leverage. Whether through people, money, systems or content, wealthy individuals find ways to get more done with less effort.We explore MJ DeMarco's concept of the sidewalk, slow lane and fast lane, showing why so many people stay stuck financially. We also dive into Robert Kiyosaki's Cashflow Quadrant and practical tools from Who Not How and Traction to help you take real action.If you want to shift from working harder to building true wealth, this episode lays out the key principles that actually move the needle.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

The quest for the "highest valuation" might actually be costing you precious years of freedom.In this illuminating discussion, financial planners Luke Hurley and Anik Sharma reveal the critical distinction between maximizing practice value and achieving your personal financial independence. Through real-world examples and comprehensive cash flow modeling, they demonstrate how dentists can determine their actual "number" – the amount needed to fund their desired lifestyle without financial constraint.The conversation challenges conventional wisdom about retirement age and practice exit timing. Rather than clinging to arbitrary targets or industry benchmarks, our experts walk through how to reverse-engineer your financial needs, taking into account existing assets, pensions, and investment portfolios. This approach often reveals that many practice owners are already closer to financial freedom than they realize.Financial planning software vividly illustrates how even modest practice valuations, combined with accumulated wealth in pensions and investments, can provide sustainable income well beyond traditional retirement age. The discussion includes important considerations around sequence risk, tax optimization, and the psychological aspects of transitioning away from practice ownership.Perhaps most valuable is the exploration of what retirement actually means in today's world. Far from the outdated concept of "being put out to pasture," financial independence offers the freedom to choose how you spend your time – whether that's continuing clinical work on your terms, pursuing new business ventures, dedicating time to family and travel, or exploring entirely new passions like the former solicitor who became a flight instructor.Ready to discover your number and gain the clarity that comes with knowing exactly when you could sell your practice?

Dr Phil Friel shares the remarkable journey that began with a chance conversation in a pub and evolved into one of Scotland's most impressive dental groups.Dr Friel and his brother Christopher have built their dental empire through strategic acquisitions, focusing on larger practices while maintaining a distinctly family-owned approach that sets them apart from corporate entities. Phil reveals how they started with distressed clinics, rolling up their sleeves to paint and renovate themselves, before evolving to acquire established practices with seven or more surgeries.Perhaps most impressively, Phil still maintains three 12-hour clinical days weekly, dedicating the remainder of his time to visiting practices, meeting teams, and driving the business forward. He shares the efficiency breakthroughs that made this possible – from executive assistance to diary zoning – and how these systems transformed his professional and personal life.The conversation explores the brothers' complementary skills, their data-driven approach to practice management, and the £4 million they've invested in modernising equipment across their 130 dental chairs in just two years. Phil explains their "inverted pyramid" organisational philosophy, with patients at the top and owners at the bottom, and how the responsibility for 230+ team members and their families drives him to continue growing and improving.Whether you're struggling with the demands of a single practice or contemplating growth beyond your current operations, this episode offers practical wisdom from someone who's successfully navigated the journey while maintaining clinical excellence and building more freedom into his life.

In this powerful episode, money mindset expert Tom Fortes-Mayer explores how deep-rooted thoughts and emotions influence wealth, success, and personal fulfilment.Tom introduces the idea of “dirty fuel” versus “clean fuel” when it comes to motivation. Many of us drive success from fear, validation, or past pain, which creates resistance. True financial freedom comes from alignment, clarity, and a sense of internal abundance.He shares striking personal stories like how a childhood belief about a £300 wage subconsciously capped his earnings years later. These experiences reveal how unexamined beliefs can quietly limit our potential until we choose to shift them.One standout moment is Tom's “umbrella miracle,” a story that brings together mindset, gratitude, and manifestation in a way that's both magical and practical.

Dr. Amit Jilka's journey provides a masterclass in strategic dental business growth that any practice owner can learn from.Starting with a modest single-surgery practice generating £300,000 annually in 2012, Dr. Jilka has built a remarkable dental enterprise now spanning 18 chairs across multiple locations, with a team of 35 clinicians completing over 550 implants and 400 orthodontic cases yearly. The transformation wasn't accidental, but methodically engineered through three critical pillars: exceptional Treatment Coordinators, comprehensively trained associates, and outstanding practice managers.The revelation of properly implemented TCOs is perhaps most striking. Unlike the common misconception that TCOs are merely glorified receptionists, Dr. Jilka's TCOs conduct 30-45 minute appointments, performing scans, discussing financing, and comprehensive treatment options before patients even meet the dentist. This approach has dramatically increased both treatment plan acceptance rates (from 60% to 80% for implants) and overall treatment values.What's particularly fascinating is Dr. Jilka's counterintuitive approach to personal clinical time. By reducing his own clinical hours to just half a day weekly and dedicating several days to mentoring associates instead, he initially took a personal income hit – but saw practice profitability soar. This powerful demonstration of working ON rather than IN the business highlights the leverage gained through systematic associate training and development.The practice also employs distinct workflows for different treatment modalities, recognizing that implant and orthodontic patient journeys require different approaches to nurturing and conversion. Their structured follow-up protocol for high-value implant consultations exemplifies the attention to detail that drives their exceptional performance.Whether you're struggling with case acceptance, associate productivity, or finding time to strategically grow your practice, Dr. Jilka's proven systems offer a roadmap to greater profitability without sacrificing clinical excellence or work-life balance.

What separates the practices that merely survive from those that thrive during economic downturns? This episode delivers practical wisdom from expert accountant Johnny Minford on creating genuine resilience in your dental business.We begin by distinguishing between two critical forms of practice resilience—capital resilience (protecting practice value for potential sale) and income resilience (ensuring consistent revenue streams). While many factors contribute to both types, implementing the right strategies depends entirely on your long-term objectives. As Minford astutely observes, when inflation runs high, cash quickly loses value, making strong cash flow your ultimate protection.The conversation delves into patient management as a cornerstone of practice stability. Having more patients—even those not actively purchasing services—creates opportunities that wouldn't exist otherwise. We explore how patient retention occurs through two primary mechanisms: establishing regular visit habits and making strategic treatment invitations. This leads to a fascinating discussion about appointment scheduling psychology, with Minford suggesting optimal waiting times of 2-3 weeks for elective procedures to balance practicality with maintaining patient motivation.Perhaps most compelling is our examination of the often contentious topic of associate compensation. Location emerges as the primary factor determining appropriate splits, with urban areas typically featuring lower percentages while rural practices offer higher rates to attract talent. Minford emphasizes that compensation extends beyond percentages: "If you treat your team badly and screw them to the floor every chance you get, after two or three years you become known for that." Some practices implement tiered systems where associates can earn substantially higher splits as they exceed production thresholds—creating win-win scenarios for motivated dentists and practice owners alike.We also tackle the legal implications of hygienist remuneration, treatment planning based on patient demographics, and strategies for both specialist referral practices and general practices to maintain visibility and growth in challenging markets. The result is a comprehensive blueprint for creating unshakeable value in your dental business, regardless of economic conditions.Don't miss the opportunity to earn free verifiable CPD by completing a short questionnaire through the link in our show notes after listening.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

If you'd like to discuss your finances with a professional, you can connect with Luke here: https://www.viderefinancial.com/contact———————————————————————Get your free verifiable CPD for this episode here >>>  ———————————————————————Unravelling the complexities of the NHS pension scheme can feel like navigating a labyrinth, but financial planning expert Luke Hurley breaks it down with crystal-clear explanations that will transform your understanding.Luke begins by framing the NHS pension within the broader context of financial independence – that pivotal moment when work becomes a choice rather than a necessity. While the average UK household might target around £60,000 annually for a "comfortable" retirement, Luke emphasizes that everyone's number is different, and knowing your personal target is essential for effective planning.Through an illuminating case study, we see exactly how the NHS pension fits into a comprehensive financial plan, providing that crucial stream of guaranteed, inflation-protected income that forms the bedrock of retirement security. But the podcast quickly dispels common misconceptions: your NHS pension is not a pot of money you're building up – it's a promised future income from the government. Those contributions you make? They're essentially membership fees, not investments growing in an account with your name on it.The most valuable insights come when Luke explains how your pension actually grows (through earnings and annual revaluation), the differences between the three pension sections (1995, 2008, and 2015), and the advantages and limitations of the scheme. Particularly eye-opening is the discussion of how reforms have progressively pushed back normal retirement ages and reduced spouse/partner benefits – critical knowledge for anyone making long-term plans.Whether you're just starting your NHS career or approaching retirement, this episode delivers practical wisdom that will help you make informed decisions about your financial future. And as a bonus, UK dentists can earn free verifiable CPD by completing a simple questionnaire after listening – making this not just an educational experience, but a professionally valuable one too.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Financial planner Anik Sharma from Vider Financial Planning joins us to unpack investment vehicles available to dental professionals and crucial updates affecting your financial strategy.The conversation kicks off with a fundamental yet often overlooked principle: financial organization eliminates the annual scramble before tax deadlines. Beyond reducing stress, this approach delivers measurable benefits – contributing to investments at the tax year's start rather than its end could generate an additional £60,000 over 30 years through compound growth.Anik walks through the key investment accounts dentists should consider, starting with ISAs. Recent rule changes now allow contributions to multiple stocks and shares ISAs within a single tax year (while maintaining the £20,000 annual limit). We explore misconceptions about platform diversification and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, clarifying that the £85,000 protection applies to banking licenses rather than individual institutions.For pensions, we delve into tax relief benefits while highlighting complexities for high earners. The most significant upcoming change arrives in April 2027, when pensions will potentially fall within inheritance tax scope – though final implementation details remain pending. NHS pension scheme members face additional complications with the ongoing McLeod remedy affecting annual allowance calculations and private pension planning.Limited company owners have additional considerations when deciding whether to invest through corporate structures or extract funds for personal investment. This leads to the fundamental question: how should dentists allocate investments across different accounts?The answer lies in comprehensive cashflow planning – mapping your current position to your desired future before determining the optimal investment strategy. This approach ensures your portfolio powers your life plan rather than existing as an end itself.Looking to optimize your financial strategy for the new tax year?

Get your free verifiable CPD for this episode here >>>  ———————————————————————The financial reality of dental practice ownership and associate earnings is often shrouded in mystery and misconceptions. In this revealing conversation with dental accountancy expert Johnny Minford, we pull back the curtain on what dentists are actually earning based on the latest NASAL figures.Prepare for some genuine surprises as we discover that NHS practices are currently showing slightly higher profits than private practices – £166,000 versus £162,000 per principal – completely contrary to conventional wisdom. Johnny explains how private practice profits have declined from post-pandemic highs while NHS practices have maintained steady growth, despite ongoing recruitment challenges.We explore the dramatic earnings gap between associates in different settings, with private practice associates earning approximately £105,000 compared to £74,000 for their NHS counterparts. Yet these figures don't tell the whole story, as they fail to account for lifestyle choices, working hours, and specialized services that significantly impact earning potential.Perhaps most startling is the geographical disparity revealed in our analysis – dentists in London earn approximately 33% less than colleagues in regions like East Anglia, Scotland and the Northeast. We examine the complex factors behind this counterintuitive finding, from higher operating costs to competitive pressures.The financial landscape of dentistry continues to evolve rapidly, with practices increasingly diversifying their income streams. The percentage of predominantly NHS practices has fallen significantly in recent years, reflecting a strategic shift across the profession.Have you ever wondered how your practice earnings compare to industry benchmarks?

But beyond these limits, a 40% tax can erode your hard-earned wealth. This episode explores practical tax-saving strategies, including the often-overlooked gifting from normal expenditure out of income—a powerful tool for high-earning dentists.Our experts also tackle common pitfalls, such as poor investment choices promising tax relief, international tax complications, and key business relief rules affecting dental practice sales.

Get your free verifiable CPD for this episode here >>>  https://www.dentistswhoinvest.com/videos/heres-what-the-uk-government-are-doing-to-the-finances-of-dentists-with-eddie-crouch———————————————————————The financial squeeze on UK dental practices has reached critical levels, with Eddie Crouch, chairman of the BDA, revealing that recent budget changes alone are adding approximately £14,000 in annual costs to the average practice. This sobering reality frames our conversation about the current state and future of dentistry in Britain.While private practices can adjust fees to accommodate rising costs, NHS practices find themselves in an increasingly untenable position. The much-touted 6% pay uplift from the government masks a troubling reality – practice expenses are calculated using a government "GDP deflator" of just 1.68%, while actual dental practice inflation runs closer to 14%. As Eddie explains, this disparity has contributed to a 30% drop in NHS dentist income over the past decade, pushing many to reduce their NHS commitment or exit completely.The podcast takes us behind closed doors into Eddie's conversations with MPs across the political spectrum, revealing surprising insights about how politicians perceive the dental crisis. With only 3% of practices currently accepting new NHS patients and approximately 13 million people unable to access NHS dental care, some newly elected MPs in marginal constituencies believe their re-election prospects hinge on addressing this issue. Despite this growing awareness, meaningful policy changes remain elusive.We explore various potential futures for NHS dentistry – from focusing exclusively on children's care to providing only emergency services or limiting care to those who cannot afford private treatment. Eddie offers a candid assessment of these options while discussing the changing business models in dentistry, including the rise of corporate ownership and the shifting balance of power between practice owners and associates.Don't miss our exciting announcement about free verifiable CPD now available for UK dentists listening to this episode.

Specialist dental accountant David Hossain breaks down exactly what dental professionals need to know right now.The increasing cost pressures on dental businesses deserve close attention. With employer National Insurance contributions rising by 1.2% and the National Living Wage jumping to £12.21 hourly, practice owners face immediate decisions about pricing structures and operational expenses. Meanwhile, those considering practice sales should take note of the Business Asset Disposal Relief tax rate climbing from 10% to 14% on the first £1 million of proceeds - a change triggering a flurry of transactions before the April deadline.Beyond these immediate concerns, dental professionals should prepare for expanding HMRC enforcement activity. Random practice inspections are becoming more common after years of relative quiet, while late payment penalties increase to 10%. Making Tax Digital also moves forward despite delays, eventually requiring quarterly accounting submissions. With economic growth forecasts halved to just 1% and government welfare cuts expected to push 250,000 people into poverty, the broader economic environment presents additional challenges for dental businesses.Want to turn listening into learning?

Sarah Grace, a specialist mortgage broker to dental professionals, breaks down what you need to know right now about your most significant financial commitment.The recent Bank of England decision to hold interest rates at 4.5% signals caution amid ongoing economic concerns. Sarah explains why experts anticipate possible rate reductions around August, potentially reaching 4% by year-end, while clarifying the crucial distinction between Bank of England decisions and the swap rates that determine fixed mortgage costs.For many dental professionals, this year brings significant financial adjustments as the "bumper year" for fixed-rate expirations continues. If you're transitioning from a low fixed rate secured years ago, prepare for potential payment increases as rates have climbed substantially. Sarah guides us through practical considerations and timing strategies to minimize financial impact during this transition.Perhaps most urgently, first-time buyers face a critical April 1st deadline when stamp duty thresholds revert to £300,000. This represents a substantial financial hit for dental professionals purchasing above this price point - with one client potentially facing an additional £11,000 tax bill if missing the March deadline.

You're not alone. While most investors obsess over stock picks and portfolio diversity, they're missing the crucial first step that truly determines financial success.Financial advisor Luke Hurley joins us to reveal why defining your vision should come before any investment decisions. He shares three powerful principles that form the foundation of effective financial planning: time as our most precious resource, happiness as our ultimate goal, and money as merely a tool to enable our best life.The conversation explores how to discover your financial "why" by asking deeper questions about what truly matters to you. Luke guides us through setting meaningful milestone goals and calculating your personal "number" for financial independence—that sweet spot where you work because you choose to, not because you have to.The statistics are eye-opening: 77% of UK adults don't know how much they need for retirement, while only 20% feel confident they're saving enough. For dentists and high-earning professionals, the insights are particularly valuable—you might already have enough to retire but haven't realized it because you've never defined what "enough" means to you.We examine the limitations of conventional retirement calculations like the 4% rule and challenge common assumptions about pension strategies. Luke explains why proper planning might mean preserving pension assets for inheritance rather than early withdrawal—a counterintuitive approach that could significantly benefit your financial legacy.Ready to align your money with your true values?

Get your free verifiable CPD for this episode here >>>  https://www.dentistswhoinvest.com/videos/why-labour-could-be-targeting-dentists-with-mike-bryan———————————————————————Tax burdens for UK dentists have been steadily climbing, and there's more on the horizon. Dental practice owners need to prepare for significant changes as the Labour government takes aim at the £40 billion "tax gap" - the difference between what HMRC expects to collect and what it actually receives each year.The surprising truth? Small and medium-sized businesses like dental practices account for a staggering 60% of this uncollected tax - approximately £24 billion annually. This makes dentists prime targets as the government deploys 5,000 new HMRC inspectors specifically focused on increasing tax compliance among smaller businesses. While many might question why authorities aren't pursuing multinational corporations more aggressively, the reality is that SMEs represent the practical opportunity for increased revenue collection.Making Tax Digital (MTD) represents another major shift coming in April 2026 for sole traders (and later for limited companies). Instead of filing a single annual tax return, professionals will need to submit quarterly returns plus additional adjustments - effectively increasing the administrative burden sixfold. This system will require mandatory use of accounting software with bank feed integration, potentially creating a digital environment where expenses claimed by one business automatically generate expected income entries in another's accounts. The days of cash transactions without digital footprints are quickly disappearing.What can dentists do to prepare? Focus on legitimate tax planning while ensuring complete compliance. Maximize pension allowances, evaluate whether your business structure (sole trader vs limited company) remains optimal, consider tax-efficient investments like electric vehicles, and perhaps most importantly, invest in tax investigation protection to cover the substantial accounting costs associated with HMRC inquiries. Remember - tax avoidance through proper planning is perfectly legal; tax evasion never is.
