Chained to the Chair: The Dental Dilemma (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798285043249)

Chained to the Chair is a wake-up call for dentists who have achieved financial success but find themselves trapped in the relentless grind of running a practice. Written by Value Architect Roger Balser, this book challenges the idea that more production equals more freedom - and offers a bold new framework for designing a life of true autonomy.
Drawing on decades of experience working with practice owners, entrepreneurs, and his personal connection to dentistry through his wife's 30-year career as a hygienist, Balser delivers a direct, no-nonsense guide to transforming income into long-term wealth and work-optional living.
Using the Elements(R) Process - a diagnostic system for assessing financial health - the book helps dentists step back and address the questions they rarely ask:

• Am I using my income wisely?
• Do I have the right mix of assets?
• Am I taking the right amount of risk?
• What do I need to make work optional?

Part mindset shift, part financial blueprint, Chained to the Chair empowers dentists to think like owners instead of operators, break free from burnout, and build a practice - and a life - that serves them.
This isn't about retiring early. It's about living on purpose, with clarity, control, and the freedom to choose what's next.
