Season 11 Kickoff: Business Evaluation 101 Season 11 starts with one of the most important conversations in aesthetic business success: why every practice needs a comprehensive business evaluation. Terri breaks down what a true evaluation looks like (spoiler: not a surface-level audit), why 90% of practices don't measure their data, and how that leads to chaos, burnout, missed profit, and stalled growth.

If you're serious about 2026 goals, scaling, improving profitability, or becoming exit-ready, this episode is your "lift the hood" moment.

In this episode, Terri covers: Why being "busy" doesn't automatically mean you're profitable

What a real business evaluation includes (a full diagnostic of your practice)

The most common blind spots costing practices major revenue

The KPIs that reveal where profit is being drained or blocked

Why more marketing, more equipment, and more discounting often won't fix the real issue

How better scheduling, utilization, pricing, and conversion tracking can drive fast gains

Why retention and patient lifetime value are profit levers most practices ignore

How aligned compensation plans can reward the right behaviors and stabilize teams
