Remember the good old days—a few decades or so ago—when a doctor could practice for 30 – 40 years and then sell his or her practice to another doctor when they were ready to retire, or better yet, have a son or daughter to take over the practice. Jump forward to present time and it’s not as easy to find someone to take over a medical or dental practice. The reality is there are far fewer doctors graduating than there are practices out there and doctors should start succession planning well before they’re ready to retire.

Looking at price alone is a gamble the purchaser takes with the potential of surprises and unmet expectations.

Construction Safety on School Grounds
We’ve all heard that with great power comes great responsibility, but it’s especially true with the power equipment and tools used on school construction sites.
