After PMing for awhile with another member regarding startups, I decided to answer any questions you may have regarding starting your own office and retiring early (yes, they are connected). I started my office a over 3 years ago and have been practicing for 5years. I love dentistry, but it takes it toll on you and life's too short to work for the rest of your life. If given the decision to do a startup or buy an office again, I'd choose a startup everytime unless the office was supercheap, but superprofitable.
I "retired" after 8 years of insane work. Had a start up, saved enough money and sold it as "cherry on top". After 1.5 years of retirement and traveling around I got kind of bored, and realized that I need some endeavor in my life. I actually enjoy dentistry, but not the kind of dentistry I was doing. Now looking into doing another start up and been doing some associate work around my house just to stay active. I am only 36, money is not an issue but I do want to get back into doing what I love.
Startups are the best investment, if you know what you are doing.
