Year End

We Did It Again! In our ever-changing industry, Acquios Advisors sees where our clients excel, and we pay attention to where we see opportunities for growth. In the past, colleges offered courses on opticianry. We decided it is time to bring this back and get our opticians excited about the job they are performing. We are teaming up with Doug Pelkey and his team at Europa and Ron Vinceslio, one of our most loyal and trusted vendor partners, to deliver the first ever Acquios Alliance Opticianry Cornerstone Training and Enhancement Workshop this October in the beautiful city of Chicago.

Recently, I have seen many posts on social media sites…

Looking Forward to the Future The Holidays are upon us and 2024 will be here before we know it. As this year is coming to an end, it is always great to reflect on what went well and celebrate achievements. It is also a great opportunity for reflecting on experiences you were not satisfied with. Challenge yourself to celebrate exciting achievements in the new year when they happen. Be careful of not saying to yourself, I will tell the team tomorrow. While the situation is fresh in everyone’s mind, talk it through, take notes and learn from all, what could…

Easier Is Not Always Better It is amazing to see that August is already here and the fourth quarter is coming fast. Owning and managing a business in these past couple of years has been anything but boring. We have all faced challenges with staffing levels, availability, illness, changes in the industry, making investments to better grow your business, and of course managing the processes within the office to make certain the patient care is at a level we all want, and they expect.
