  <title>S07 E01: On never giving up (and how to run your business in 60 minutes a month)</title>
  <description>On never giving up (and how to run your business in 60 minutes a month) an interview with Dr Mike Hughes of Deintyddfa Na-Nóg Dental &amp;amp;amp; Implant Team in Bangor, North Wales &amp;amp;nbsp; We begin our new podcasting year with a story of courage and resilience that has led to the creation of an award-winning specialist referral practice in Gwynedd, even though some local councillors and planning officers did their level best to stop the project before it started. &amp;amp;nbsp; Mike Hughes shares his history with us - qualifying as a reluctant dentist second time around in Cardiff and then moving on to develop his passion for MaxFax. &amp;amp;nbsp; After his mentor sold to corporate, Mike continued in that environment for 14 years until his hunger for independence led him to identify a site in a beautiful business park, where his vision was to create a leading specialist led referral centre, a vision that started as a chalk drawing on his driveway. &amp;amp;nbsp; Local planners thought otherwise and he made BBC news headlines back in 2021, when he eventually won his battle for the right to open. &amp;amp;nbsp; The clinic passed the £1m turnover mark in its first year and has gone on to even greater success. All without even having a website! &amp;amp;nbsp; In our conversation you will learn: &amp;amp;nbsp;  how to grow a 4-chair practice in 2250 sq feet of office space; how to open in 3 months after acquiring the building how to attract over 400 new complex referral&amp;amp;nbsp;patients in your first year; how terrible Chris Barrow is at Welsh pronunciation! the three biggest tips for anyone stepping on to the ownership ladder in 2024; how Mike runs his business in 60 minutes a month.  </description>
