From $500 to 20,000 Clients: The Vet Who Built an Empire

Well, it's, it's definitely different because I could walk in and look at my surgery patients for the morning and be like, watch this one.

He's going to pull something on me, you know? And so I'll premedicate or do something different.

So you do practice medicine different for those animals because you can feel they're right.

And the

owners

too.

And the owners, absolutely.

And even when an owner is super scared for a surgery, I'm like, don't put that juju on me.

I don't, I mean, like we have to go in there with a positive attitude, knowing that we're doing the best we can.

And so having that communication with the client, having that communication with the pet, praise God, we are successful.

I mean, you can feel that energy and you can feel that love.

Now, when something goes awry, which you do enough of anything, something's going to happen.

You've got to break it down for literally what it was.

Because if you think, imagine you're the veterinarian, you're controlling the anesthetics, you're controlling all medications going into these animals.

Things can still happen.

Absolutely.

You're not Jesus.

You can watch the heart rate.

You can watch the breathing.

But at the end of the day, it is what it is.

So if there's things that aren't right, you always ask yourself, could I have done that different? Could I have managed that different? Did we miss something? Could we have tested for something? And you get better and better and better.

So overnight success doesn't mean you knew what you were doing when you went in there.

And just when you think you know everything, you're going to get your ass handed to you again and again.

So you learn and you get better and you learn and you get better.

If you don't learn and get better, well, you're an idiot.
