Today we’d like to introduce you to Ebony McBean.
Ebony, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I started my career as an orthodontic assistant over 15 years ago. I was able to quickly move up and hold various titles within the office including clinical supervisor, treatment coordinator, office manager, and marketing director. I have always been passionate about smiles and helping patients achieve their Dream Smiles.
While I enjoyed working under the mentorship of such an amazing doctor for so many years I had always dreamed of opening my own office one day I didn’t quite know how that would happen to see as though I was not a dentist, but a certified dental assistant. One day last year I decided to take the leap of faith and open an office and partner with a dentist!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
There have been many trials and tribulations in starting the business as well as a journey through the business.
One of the first obstacles is how I would go about even opening an office not being a dentist while I know everything about the clinical side of things I had never opened a business or owned a business before so the overall business aspect, and managing in and financially, it was a challenge I had to overcome the challenge of being able to provide services, not being a doctor and learning, you know how to navigate those waters.
I also had to overcome the financial challenges of starting a new business without loans, and financial, backing and using my savings to start the business and keep the business afloat.
