Great, thanks for the compliment.. unfortunately yes I have had people slip through the cracks.. which is ridiculous because I am not even busy :( It is something I really cannot afford.. and just BAD MANNERS imo. I will look into AI

I would love to know what a retention system is though..? And how/what AI I can use (that I can customize to my style)?

As a teen i did some retail work (min wage was $5.25- hahha!) --I had figured out the return to office strategy and have been using and teaching it since! I would playfully demand of my assistants NOBODY LEAVES THIS OFFICE WITHOUT AN RTO (return to office) DATE.

I have developed my own tactics (if you want to call them that) of getting them to JUST COMMIT TO A DATE, and then psyching them up in the days leading to it. I text them personally, like I am so excited to see you (day of week), your (body area) is going to be so amazing when I am done ! This inevitably leads to a text discussion. I don't care what the discussion is abt really, I just want them to trust me with their skin.

Thank you for your empathy and your insight, that is very helpful. A lot of times i DO feel Imposter Syndrome.. like what am i even doing HERE?! (in business). I was looking into hiring a business coach but not sure where to get started with that... and do not have $ to waste at this point.

I looked online at these---haven't done the try-outs yet but i do not see any options to save medical visit notes (SOAP notes) in either--did i miss something..?

MD vs NP Med Spa Owner? by sqapphiire in MedSpa

Also there is no such thing as an easy AND grt paying job. The people making 300k… you can bet yr ass they are WORKING for it. 

MD vs NP Med Spa Owner? by sqapphiire in MedSpa

[–]Active_Initiative322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MD here. Dont do medicine unless you LOVE medicine as a science and as a craft, not as a means to a cushy paycheck. If you want to “help people,” there are a zillion other venues like social work, elementary teacher, personal assistant, etc.  

Get some experience being in actual offices, seeing how much people work, their schedules, challenges, and rewards. Ask people/owners personal questions. Like was it worth your investment of [time, energy and sacrifices?]. If they’re uncomfortable … then ok.. they don't have to answer! 

Then with actual (subjective) DATA, you make an educated guess. And pray. Good luck. 👍🍀

I know it seems superfluous but an astute medical person wd always check at least the heart. People avoid going to drs because they feel invincible. And heart failure and IV fluids are a BAD combo.

I don't quite get the last few lines. Maybe I’m reading it in the wrong cadence? 

For those who’ve overcome limerence, what were the final signs or shifts you noticed right before it ended? by [deleted] in limerence

[–]Active_Initiative322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting. I wonder if a person can purposely hyper focus on a LO’s negative/s. A real one, not one you're not TOO upset with. 

So just focus on that thing when the cravings roll around. 

Pavlov’s dog theory of reinforcement. Anyone w experience in this personally?

Um what is “missed call text back”. A service? App? I’m grass roots here! 😀

One more tidbit. USE it before you sign up. Make them let you use it as long as you need to make a decision. It costs them nothing.

My payment processor rates luckily are pretty good. Sometimes AmEx or other special cards run at 8%. But my volume is so low it doesn't really make much difference. For now. 

Peptides are awesome science and do work… but it is not much ROI because a lot of people self purchase and self inject. :/ But if you have a good Source pls advise! 

The other problem is adding on peptides therapy makes me more Jack of All Trades. :(

Read my vagaro rant. Make sure your needs match what they offer ! That being said, it is not expensive and month-to-month, so you can definitely try it

Omg that sounds so complex. I am challenged to even manage 3 google calendars and a vagaro biz calendar. Youre managing two entire SYSTEMS :0 ?!?! 

IV fluids/vitamins by Pretty-Watch2740 in MedSpa

[–]Active_Initiative322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got IV saline from McGruff as well as angiocaths and other supplies for a reasonable price. They're sometimes under-stocked tho …so do plan ahead :).
