Through his PDS Business Coach, Mike, Illan started to see the big picture. “He taught me to look at what I was going to be doing and where I want to be, not just standing in the middle of a tornado,” he says. He used SmartDispense to identify and maximize opportunities to bring in more profits. As a result, he was able to use those profits to hire another pharmacist — a move that freed him up to focus on strategies to grow his business. He now only works the bench one day a week and has never felt better. “If you’re filling the prescriptions and trying to run a pharmacy with all the complexity and compliance, it feels like bees in your brain. It’s not that way anymore. I have time to tackle each problem,” he says.
PDS also paved the way for Illan to enjoy more quality time with his family. After opening his pharmacy in 1981, he experienced periods in which he felt like he was merely persevering by putting in 60-hour work weeks and a lot of sweat. While the payoff led to him running a business free of cash flow and volume issues, he says it came at a sacrifice. Before PDS, Illan was missing out on a lot of his son’s events and started to feel very isolated. When asked what Illan would tell someone who is not a PDS member, he quickly responded, “I wish I had joined sooner.”
“My previous mentality was if I didn’t do it, it wouldn’t get done. Now we’re accomplishing more than ever while I’m doing less. I’ve never been happier. I’m making more money than I’ve ever made, and I have less stress than I’ve ever had. It’s hard to put into words how nice it is.”
