In this final episode of the Clinician’s Compass series, Doc Danny breaks down the most ambitious practice model of the three: the Home Run Practice. This model is built for growth-focused entrepreneurs who want to scale fast, build teams, dominate their market, and eventually create a business that could lead to a major exit.

• What Is a Home Run Practice? – A high-growth clinic built for scale, often generating multiple 7-figures in revenue with layered teams, systems, and leadership.
• Built to Exit or Expand – Whether you plan to sell or keep scaling, this model is structured to attract investors, strategic buyers, or become a multi-location brand.
• Massive Upside, Higher Risk – With the potential for life-changing financial return comes more complexity, risk, and a steep learning curve.
• Requires Strong Leadership – You’ll need to master hiring, delegation, culture, and systems—or surround yourself with people who can.
• Not for Everyone – This isn’t the right race for clinicians who want more lifestyle balance or time freedom—it’s a build-and-scale model through and through.

"The Home Run Practice is for the few willing to go all-in, lead big teams, and build something much bigger than themselves."

• ✅ Visionaries who want to scale a multi-location clinic
• ✅ Clinicians who see themselves as entrepreneurs first
• ✅ Those looking for a high-value business they can eventually sell
• ✅ Builders with the energy, grit, and leadership capacity to grow fast

• ✅ The difference between Home Run and Autopilot models
• ✅ The operational demands of rapid scaling
• ✅ How to think like a business builder, not just a provider
• ✅ What it takes to lead a team through growth and exit

The Lifestyle Practice. The Autopilot Practice. The Home Run Practice. They’re all different races—but one of them is the right one for you.

This wraps up the 3-part series. If you haven’t already, check out Part 1 on the Lifestyle Practice and Part 2 on the Autopilot Practice to decide which one best fits your goals.

In this episode, Doc Danny continues his 3-part series based on his new book, The Clinician’s Compass. This time, he explores the Autopilot Practice—the most popular model among PT Biz clients. It’s built for clinicians who want time freedom, financial stability, and a business that can function (and grow) without them.

• What Is an Autopilot Practice? – A clinic doing $500K–$3M in revenue where the owner has fully or mostly removed themselves from daily operations.
• Time Freedom Is the Goal – Unlike the lifestyle model, this one gives you the option to reclaim your time for family, hobbies, other businesses, or simply rest.
• It’s Sellable – This model builds true enterprise value, giving you the option to sell your clinic for a significant return or hold it as a long-term passive income asset.
• You're Replacing Yourself – Clinically, administratively, and operationally. That means investing in systems, people, and culture to make it all run.
• Lower Margins, More Leverage – You’ll keep a smaller percentage of revenue, but have more freedom and impact. And the hourly ROI can still exceed a lifestyle practice.

"Your business should support your life—not become your life. The autopilot practice is about freedom and optionality."

• ✅ Clinicians who want to step back from day-to-day treatment
• ✅ Entrepreneurs seeking time flexibility and scalable income
• ✅ Parents who want to be present for their families
• ✅ Those looking to build and eventually sell a valuable business asset

• ✅ The difference between lifestyle and autopilot practices
• ✅ What it takes to remove yourself from your business
• ✅ Why reinvestment, leadership, and culture are critical
• ✅ How to think about ROI per hour, not just net profit

Stay tuned for Part 3 of the series, where we dive into the Home Run Practice—designed for those who want to scale big and build a true empire.

In this episode, Doc Danny kicks off a 3-part series on his new book, The Clinician’s Compass. This first installment focuses on the lifestyle practice—a business model built for clinicians who want more freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment without the pressure of scaling a large company.

• Start With the End in Mind – Before you build a business, get clear on what kind of life you want. Your business should support that—not consume it.
• What Is a Lifestyle Practice? – A solo or small-team clinic where you're heavily involved in patient care, making great income with minimal overhead, and maintaining schedule freedom.
• Who It's For – Clinicians who love their craft, want to work with a niche population, and prefer low risk, high-control models without managing large teams.
• Real-Life Examples – Danny shares the story of a clinician working just 2 days per week who replaced her full-time income while spending more time with her family.
• Know the Trade-Offs – Lifestyle practices are highly rewarding—but they're not scalable, and your income stops if you stop working. You’ll need to invest outside your business and consider insurance for protection.

"Your business should create the life you want—not become your entire life. A lifestyle practice can give you freedom, but you’ve got to know the trade-offs."

Think of your practice model like choosing a race. Is it a 5K? A marathon? A sprint? In this book, Danny helps you decide which model—Lifestyle, Autopilot, or Home Run—best aligns with your vision.

• ✅ Why lifestyle clinics are ideal for passionate clinicians who value flexibility
• ✅ The financial upside (and limits) of this model
• ✅ How to protect your income stream and plan for long-term financial freedom
