I'm a 29M who wants to start a business regarding senior citizen home care. I have an uncle who happens to own multiple, successful senior citizen facilities and does very well for himself.

Do you suggest I work for him to learn the business? Or take the leap of faith and start my own company? If I were going to take the leap of faith and jump in, I am looking to franchise.

I have never owned a business or have had any training in the business world.

Any and every recommendation, comment, advice, or piece of criticism is appreciated! Thank you.

I know this may sound absolutely crazy, but here it goes.

29M GP here. 2nd year of practice. Thinking of going down to 1-2 days per week as a part-time GP and allocating the rest of the work week to starting a business outside of dentistry. Been looking at franchising a senior care service, home services, junk removal, or something else.

Feeling a ton of emotions about this endeavor but I realized that I do not want to own a dental practice nor do I want to work as an associate 4-5 days per week.

I feel somewhat shameful because my friends and family are always praising me for being a dentist and tell me how good I have it. I am grateful for dentistry and what it's allowed me to have in my life, but I feel like there's so much more out there.

So the plan is take a 1-2 month break completely from dentistry then find a part-time job to pay the bills and allocate the rest of my time building a business outside of dentistry.

Taking a leap of faith here, but any and every honest thought, recommendation, piece of criticism is welcome.

I'm a 29 year old dentist looking to start a business outside of dentistry and am seeking some advice from those more experienced!

I'm planning to cut down on dentistry to 1-2 days/week for various reasons and am thinking about starting a business. Franchising is looking more attractive to me rather starting my own. The reasons I am going this route is to be able to grow something that may be able to make money without me being in the trenches of the business. I accept that the first couple of years I will be boots on the ground and working tirelessly which is ok with me. I've come to realize that as a dentist, I am only making money when I am in the office doing procedures.

Business ideas I've had are home services (garage door repair, epoxy flooring), cleaning services, senior day care services, etc.

Additionally, I have no children at this point of my life and my fixed expenses are fairly low so I figured this would be the point of my life to attempt this endeaveur.

If I get a ceramic coat on my truck, does that mean I need to get it re-coated every couple of years?

I’m the System X Pro done and the shop says it may last between 4-6 years ; but I’m wondering what will happen after that time.

Thank you!

In yalls opinion/experience, as a temp dentist - what is a reasonable compensation? What would be considered low and what would be considered well-paying?

Currently practicing in North FL.

Anybody know a way to be able to watch Youtube or Netflix on the center display screen on the 3rd gens?

Saw this job post and was wondering if anyone can talk about their VA experience.

I'm 2 years out and have only worked in private practice.

Can do almost all procedures besides peds and endo.

Need grown men advice if you don’t mind.

Im a 29M. My best friend’s Dad, who I’ve known my whole life, owns a kayak shop in town and is a fishing guide. I’ve talked to him about buying a kayak because I want to get into the sport/hobby.

He told me he’d take me out kayak fishing next week to try out kayaks and see what I like which is really nice of him.

Do I pay him?

I know its alot for him for take me out and he’s having someone man the shop while we’re out fishing and I somewhat feel bad or feel like I owe him.

I’ve never been good at money like this so any advice will help!

Looking at getting new floor mats for my 2024 and was wondering what yalls favorite brands are?

Looking at weathertech, husky, lasfit, & tuxmat

Anybody have any experience with the x guide? How accurate is it? Is it a user friendly system? What are some common downsides with it?

Is it worth it?
