FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J.—Planning for the year ahead, the first of a two-part “Power Hour” will be the topic of the upcoming show on Nov. 5. The weekly radio show is broadcast at 9:00 p.m. ET, hosted by Gary Gerber, OD, founder of The Power Practice.

Said Gerber, “Plan it and do it! As we begin to wind down 2014, savvy practitioners are planning to succeed in 2015. Listen to the first of a special two-part show as we discuss what you should be doing to ensure your success next year. If you cower in fear at the word ‘budget’ and don’t believe that planning is essential, or if you’re already making plans for a great year and want to make them even better, then tune in to this important broadcast. We’ll cover budgeting, marketing, staffing, scheduling and a few other surprise topics. The second part of this Power Hour will air early next year and talk about how to actually execute your plan.”

The Power Hour is sponsored by Essilor of America, Optovue, VisionWeb and VSP Global. Details about the shows, including how to listen in and links to previous episodes, can be found online at PowerHourInfo.
