I am boarding my flight to Plano where I'll give my inaugural presentation entitled, ["The Five Biggest Business Mistakes That Pediatricians Make."](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pediatrics-as-a-business-dinner-presentation-with-chip-hart-tickets-37925792065)  There might be a little room left, [sign up](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pediatrics-as-a-business-dinner-presentation-with-chip-hart-tickets-37925792065) if you're at [TPS](https://txpeds.org/annual-meeting) and might be interested.  It's really a summary culled from key moments from among all my talks, the walk-away points I want people to consume.

Meanwhile, over the last few years, one of the most popular reasons I get a call has to do with pediatric compensation.  How much should you pay a new doctor?  What's the most fair way to distribute money to the partners?  I literally get those calls and emails every week.  I have distinct seminars on each topic, but Susanne Madden and [The Verden Group](http://theverdengroup.com) made me slow down for a few minutes to [put some of the highlights ](http://www.verdenviewpoint.com/2017/09/physician-compensation-owners-and-employees/)to paper (well, digital paper) in their latest issue of [The Verden Viewpoint](http://www.verdenviewpoint.com/).

For example, when I talk about paying clinicians, I hit these notes:

**Lesson One: No Margin, No Mission  
**

**Lesson Two: It’s Not About the Money  
**

**Lesson 3: Do the Math**

...and then we run through two examples of how you might figure out what to pay your new doctor or NP.

For partners and owners, here's the path we follow:

**Productivity Measure Doesn’t Matter  
**

**Recognize Non-Clinical Work  
**

**Consider Partner Symbiosis  
**

**Should You Be Partners?**

I don't give away all the secrets, but for those jumping into this discussion, it's a [good place to start](http://www.verdenviewpoint.com/2017/09/physician-compensation-owners-and-employees/).  And make sure to check out the [rest of the issue](http://www.verdenviewpoint.com/), it's fantastic!
