Survival mode. Sometimes it’s for a little while. Sometimes it can be a longer while. Sometimes it’s not too bad and sometimes you’re not sure you can make it through. If you could figure out exactly how long you can last in survival mode and what levers you can pull to adjust that length, wouldn’t that make you feel better about making decisions?
I’m here to tell you to stop and make A/R a priority! Treat this as seriously as you would if someone was stealing money directly from your wallet, which is essentially what is happening. There are two main things to consider: What you can do ahead of time (your model) and what you can do after rendering services (your process).

This is one of my favorite quotes. It’s such a powerful way of thinking about delegation. Take the time now to figure it out, and then it’s off your plate! I like to think of myself as a quitter; I’m always looking for the next thing that I can pass off to someone who’s better at it than me.
