Seven ways to improve your work life balance

Achieving a great balance between your business and personal life is key to growth in each. In an article originally published in the 25 January edition of Optician, our Director, Dom Watson outlines seven ways to ensure a healthy business and a happy mind.

Thinking of Starting a Practice From Scratch

Starting your own business is one of the most rewarding and challenging things you can do particularly in independent optics where you are likely to be the clinician as well as the business owner. Sometimes it’s fun, and other times it is emotionally and financially draining. Making the right decision as to whether starting an independent optical business from scratch or purchasing an already established practice is something that requires much consideration and research.

What's The Value of Your Commute?

Here at Myers La Roche, we talk daily about value. Not surprising, given that we value over 100 independent optical businesses every year.

But what about the value of other things related to our daily working life?
