Why should the dentist offload low-value errands and operational tasks to other people?
Because every hour the doctor spends on a task that does not require their license or expertise is an hour stolen from the work only they can do, and the gap between those rates is substantial. The doctor running to the dental supply store, picking up office supplies, transporting models to a lab, sitting in routine vendor meetings, or managing low-stakes office logistics is filling expensive hours with low-cost work. The fix is straightforward. Delegate to existing team members where possible. Hire a courier or assistant for transport. Use Craigslist or similar services for ad-hoc help. Enlist family members if the situation fits. The same logic applies to personal life. Cooking every weeknight when bulk meal prep or delivery services solve the problem in a fraction of the time may not be the best use of evening hours. Place a deliberate dollar value on personal and professional time. Spend that time on what produces matching value. The discipline shows up in revenue and in sanity.
