A lot of the business advice clinic owners are being handed in 2026 comes from people who have never actually run a medical aesthetic practice. They're laser company reps, newly minted consultants, polished presenters with the language of operations and very little exposure to what actually happens on a treatment floor. Leisa Krauss has watched owners implement their guidance, watch it fail, and then blame themselves. She spends this episode arguing that the real problem is borrowed understanding — strategy observed from a distance and sold as experience — and walks through the patterns that separate operators from observers: the way they talk about risk, the way they talk about failure, the way they define success for a business they've actually had to keep alive. She takes on the quiet problem of free consulting from vendors, names what to look for in the voices worth trusting, and lays out a clear standard for who gets to influence how a practice is run. For any clinic owner who has ever walked out of a rep meeting feeling like the missing piece was their own competence, this conversation is a useful recalibration.Not a member yet? No worries!
