Mentoris writes: Resilience revisited

At the beginning of 2023, many optical business owners were concerned about the economic outlook. Two months in and, despite some practices having a emptier diary than ideal, most I have spoken to have not experienced a decline in business. The SightCare Conference last month had a really good vibe and some great workshops, while the keynote addresses were enthusiastically received by members and guests. As we look forward to 100% Optical, it feels to me like there is a somewhat buoyant feeling around our profession at present.

Nonetheless, it seems sensible, following on from last month’s article, to revisit the subject of resilience. I have therefore taken the liberty of repeating below my own 10-point plan for building up your own resilience.
