This episode is a live talk from Lisbon, recorded at a resilience workshop for independent practice owners like you. It looks at how to build a practice that feels steadier and less fragile, even when the pressure is on. Conor shares five and a half practical strategies that help you raise average dispense, present prices with more confidence, have better eyewear conversations, create a more memorable in practice experience, and build a stronger base of loyal clients. He also talks about the hidden risk of relying too heavily on one key team member and what to do about it. If you feel busy but still under financial or emotional pressure, this episode will help you think more clearly about where your time and energy should go.
