business skills

[dente per dente]

to me the phrase 'business skills' is pretty vague. what exactly does this entail? what exactly does it mean for a dental practice?

That term is too vague and maybe all encompassing. It could be good management skills. It could be good people skills. Being able to control your cost.

business skills, in my opinion, is a combination of the following:

charisma, management + MARKETING savvy-ness, good time management (efficient + productive), and a basic understanding of economics and how it relates to small business.

I would say if you have the skills mentioned above, then you've got a nice collection of "business skills."

jb, thanks for sharing. If I had to guess I would have said time and resource (people) management, and marketing skills. Those and the others you mention I see as a general "resourcefulness" required in a good business person.
