In this episode, we are asking Dr Wolf to expand on what is involved with transitioning from an Associate position into a place of more ownership, as a Partner.

Some thoughts to ponder before making the transition, such as: what are your interests, goals, and personal abilities? What level of financial risk and problem solving are you prepared to handle? With greater risk there is greater potential gain.

If a mentor is available to help the transition go more smoothly, that is invaluable.

Capitalize on your mentor's and future partner's strengths, because as a team we are stronger!
