I Was Faking Being a CEO (And My Team of 100 Knew It)
The Night Everything Changed for Our Dental Practice
It was 10:47pm on a Tuesday.
I’m staring at payroll numbers that don’t add up, and my husband across our dinner table looks as terrified as I feel.
We’d just spent two hours with our admin team, nodding confidently while they asked about growth plans and budgets.
Questions I didn’t have real answers for.
Questions I didn’t have real answers for.
Now, alone with the truth, we’re looking at numbers that could mean we can’t pay our 100 employees next week.
Here’s what I was thinking: How did I become responsible for 100 families’ livelihoods when I still think like a healthcare professional, not a business owner?
Sound familiar?
You’re Not Alone in This Struggle
If you’re a dentist and are within 7 years into owning your own practice, you probably know this feeling:
✅ Your clinical skills are solid - you can handle any case that walks through the door
✅ But the business side feels like chaos - hiring, systems, marketing, team management
✅ You’re making “nice person” decisions instead of smart business decisions
✅ You avoid hard conversations because you want everyone to be happy
✅ You’re working IN your practice instead of ON your practice
✅ Some nights you lie awake wondering if you’re cut out for this business ownership thing
✅ But the business side feels like chaos - hiring, systems, marketing, team management
✅ You’re making “nice person” decisions instead of smart business decisions
✅ You avoid hard conversations because you want everyone to be happy

✅ Some nights you lie awake wondering if you’re cut out for this business ownership thing

The Shift That Saved Our Practice (And Can Save Yours)
That night at the dinner table, my husband said something that changed everything:
“We’re not dentists who happen to own a business anymore. We’re CEOs who happen to work in dentistry. And if we don’t start acting like it, we’re going to lose everything.”
He was right.
Within 6 months of making this shift:
- We turned our finances completely around
- Scaled to 7 locations
- Built systems that ran without us
- Eventually sold the business

Why Listen to Us?
I’m Richelle Pena, and I’ve been where you are.
After years as a business leader at a Fortune 500 company, I thought I knew how to run a business. I was wrong.
My husband (Board Certified Pediatric Dentist with an MBA) and I built our dental practice using clinical thinking instead of business thinking. We nearly lost everything.
Then we made the shift. We learned to think like CEOs first, dentists second.
The result? We scaled to 7 locations, built a team of 100, and eventually sold the business.
Now I help dentists 3-7 years into practice make this same transformation - without the years of sleepless nights and near-bankruptcy we went through.

This isn’t a “feel good” workshop where I tell you everything is fine.
