Design of a multifaceted referral equine hospital.
There is no simple recipe for designing a multifaceted practice. However, keys to any design are the devotion of the people involved and proper positioning of such people in the organization. Anyone designing such a practice also must pay keen attention to details and a keep a finger constantly on the pulse of the business to ensure that it maintains a sound financial footing and a consistent vision. Little money is made from savings or pushing financials. Profits come mainly through building additional sales, maintaining a clear vision, and making shrewd investments. Like for every small business, success in the multifaceted practice is clearly tied to such factors as financial acumen, forward thinking, technology, lifestyle, vision, and a willingness to take a calculated risk.
