Growth doesn't always come from chaos. Sometimes the pressure to expand kicks in after the systems are in place, the team is solid, and the foundation is stable. It’s a weird tension—things are technically working, but there’s still an internal (or external) push whispering, "More."

This is a look inside that exact moment—what happens when you’re no longer scrappy, but you’re not settled either.

If you've ever run your practice without clear structure, you know the feeling — like you're stacking a house of cards and hoping it holds. That feeling of constant reaction, disjointed communication, and just “doing what needs to get done” without a long-term view? That’s what EOS helps fix.

Let’s talk about the chaos. Not the cute “we’re scrappy and growing!” kind—but the flavor that burns you out, breaks your systems, and makes you secretly wonder if everyone on your team is two minutes away from quitting. Yeah, that kind of chaos.

We’ve all lived it. And I’m here to say: chaos is not a culture strategy. It’s not leadership, it’s not sustainable, and it’s definitely not the vibe you want your team absorbing.

Hey there. I’m Dr. Tara Vossenkemper, and today I want to dive into something that’s been weighing on a lot of us: what happens when your hiring process is solid, your culture is dialed in, and still… no good candidates show up?

In this post, we're digging into why your current system might be setting you up to fail, what to look for, and how to get back on track without losing your damn mind in the process.

If you’ve ever made a hire that felt like a dream at first but turned into a total nightmare (been there), you’re not alone. Hiring is hard. And hiring the wrong person? Even harder—on your time, your money, and your team’s sanity.

The good news? You can stop making these mistakes before they cost you. So, let’s talk about the top four hiring pitfalls that trip up practice owners and, more importantly, how to avoid them.

Today, we’re getting real about the top four struggles that make group practice owners question their life choices.
