10 Lessons from Joining the Right Practice Alliance Group
What if your independent practice could benefit from the buying power, vendor relationships, business intelligence, and collective experience of a $50 million enterprise—without paying a percentage of your gross sales just to belong, or sacrificing your independence?
As I grew my solo practice into four high-volume locations with 13 associates, one of the most valuable assets in my management toolbox was being part of the right optometry alliance group.
For more than 35 years, I’ve been a member of Practice Management Associates—an intentionally small but exceptionally effective group of independent optometry practice owners, that combined generate $50 million in revenue. Members are progressive, non-competing practice owners who openly share ideas, solve challenges together, and leverage collective strength to help every member build a stronger, more profitable practice.
The result? Better decisions, stronger negotiating power, fewer costly mistakes, and decades of shared experience that no one practice could develop alone.
After selling my practice, I shifted my focus to coaching independent optometrists on how to build stronger, more profitable practices. One of the lessons I share most often is the tremendous value of belonging to the right peer group.
Joining the right peer group changed my practice, my business, and my career.
