I started a medical clinic 4 years ago. We are currently making maybe 5k profit per month.operating revenue of about 40k a month but most of it goes toward survival. I'm so tired of not bringing home much money and constantly problem solving /putting out fires all day every day. Even after performing the job, we have to wrestle the money from insurance which makes this whole process soul churning. To give a deeper idea, we are seeing around 30 encounters a day and billing 1.5 mill yearly. National average collection is 30% of what is billed. Growing at about 6% monthly in number of patients but still I can't understand the math because if I did this for salary, I'd be taking home 400k $ at a minimum. We made 120k last year and I sank all of it for down-payment and financed the rest of a 1.2 million$ location at 5.75% before interest rates went up. I don't think we would've survived otherwise as rent for clinic space nowadays is like 12k$ /month. I dunno if the boost in motivation paying myself is worth the slowing of our growth but I can't shake the thought that something doesn't add up and I'm paddling the wrong direction while slowly running out of motivation. Anyone who pulled this off who remembers this stage-what would you do?
