I made a hiring framework mistake that almost cost me my practice. ๐ฌ
My first APP candidate countered the offer with 14 changes โ written by an attorney, framed as "legal compliance."
Half of them were legit. The other half were designed to gut the protections I'd built into the contract.
I didn't know how to tell the difference at the time.
That's the moment I realized: most DPC owners are walking into their first APP hire without the framework to negotiate confidently. We're great clinicians. We're not contract attorneys.
So I built one.
In this 13-minute walkthrough, I show you the 7 decisions that determine whether your first APP hire becomes your biggest growth lever โ or your nearest competitor.
What you'll see:
๐ธ NP vs PA โ the $30K/year decision most owners don't realize they're making
๐ธ Compensation structure that protects your margin without demotivating your provider
๐ธ The non-compete clause structure that actually survives in court
๐ธ The dual-role ramp language that converts overhead into operational value
๐ธ Why generic templates from the internet leave you completely unprotected
The full framework โ including the editable offer letter template, the Employment Agreement, the compensation calculator, the worked example, and the complete guide โ is inside Module 3.
Watch the preview. If anything in the video gives you an AH-ha moment... the complete module is built to take you the rest of the way and help you prevent the mistakes I almost made.
๐ Comments are open โ if you've already made an APP hire and you're not sure whether your contract holds up, ask me. I'll tell you straight and then help you revise to bring to your lawyer for further clarification.
