So there I am, sat with a group of experienced and hugely successful principals for the afternoon, answering questions extemporaneously.
Expecting to be challenged on the complex stuff?

No – not really.

Questions are:

• who do I sell my practice to? When? How? How much for?
• what do I do when the PCT reduce my funding?
• who are the real competition going forward?
• do I need to worried about the corporates?
• how do I reduce make my associates profitable?
• what should my web site be doing?
• how does “branding” effect the way I develop the practice?
• should I expand to multiple locations?
• how do I get to spend more time at home, seeing my family?

Which, you might say, is a normal day at the office for me.

Just goes to show – no matter how successful you become, the questions stay the same.
