Blueprint for 11 Location Empire

First, what does it take to grow a cosmetic practice from one location to 11? Next, how do you do it without private equity running the show?

In this episode of "Beauty and the Biz," I talk with Dr. Gaurav Bharti. Moreover, he is a board-certified plastic surgeon and co-founder of HKB Cosmetic Surgery. Then, we cover the business strategies behind building a high-growth, surgeon-owned aesthetic empire.

Specifically, you’ll learn how to:

  • First, leave behind security to take a calculated risk. Then, make it pay off.

  • Next, scale through smart partnerships instead of PE takeovers.

  • Additionally, build systems, values, and leadership that unite 200-plus employees.

  • Finally, decide whether to join a bigger group or launch your own practice.

Importantly, Dr. Bharti is straightforward, sharp, and generous with advice. Therefore, if you want to expand, partner, or optimize your current practice, this "Beauty and the Biz" episode will change how you think about growth.

P.S. Ultimately, if you’re planning to expand or sell to private equity, I can share what successful practices do.

Furthermore, these strategies can secure long-term growth and higher valuations. Finally, I can connect you with the right experts. Let’s talk.

Enjoy!

"The fastest way to success is to model other successful surgeons who have what you want, but you can only see their results, not the path they took to get there.

So, you continue to jump from one thing to another, hoping to find something that will work for you too, but it rarely does. So, try this shortcut instead. It’s guaranteed to move you forward. I compiled my intellectual property to grow cosmetic revenues, everything I’ve gleaned over the years into one playbook of the most successful practices and what they do to win.
