The Entrepreneur Dentist (How to Exit Your Dental Business Rich)

From Niche To Rich: How to Make Your Dental Practice into a Multi-Million-Dollar Business
Dr. Jerry Lanier has wanted to write a book about exiting rich for years, and now that he has become a super-successful entrepreneur, he has written it. Dentists whose ideas of retirement have less to do with downsizing and more to do with travel and living the good life with no concerns about money will find everything they need to know about building and exiting from their business wealthy in this thorough, accessible, and informative book.

In 1994, Dr. Lanier, who grew up poor, opened his first Kids Dental Kare office, and by 2017, he had 14 offices, close to 150 employees, 25 associate dentists, and was doing $20 million year in revenue. When he sold that business, he was on the way to living the life of his dreams. He wants to show other dentists how to plan ahead so they can do the same thing.
