How brush365 Grew Into Multiple Locations

When people ask how brush365 expanded into multiple locations, there’s usually an assumption that there was a very structured, step-by-step plan behind it. Something mapped out clearly from the beginning, with timing, projections, and milestones all aligned before each move was made.

That wasn’t really the case.

There were systems built along the way, and over time those systems became more refined. But the decisions themselves often happened before everything felt fully organized on paper. In a lot of situations, the clarity came after the decision, not before it.

One pattern I’ve noticed in my own decision-making is that I don’t wait for complete certainty before moving forward. If I relied entirely on numbers lining up perfectly or timing feeling ideal, many of the steps we’ve taken probably would have been delayed or never happened at all.

Opening a second location is a good example. It wasn’t driven by a traditional expansion timeline. At the time, I was pregnant and thinking more about how to make my day-to-day life sustainable while continuing to grow the practice. The decision came from a practical need, but it still required moving forward without having every variable fully resolved.

From there, each additional location followed a similar pattern. Opportunities would come up, and I would evaluate whether they aligned with the direction I wanted to build toward. The answer wasn’t always obvious from a purely financial standpoint, especially in the early stages when there’s always some level of uncertainty.

What made those decisions easier to stand behind was having a clear sense of direction for the company overall.

Building With Direction, Then Supporting It With Structure

Growth has never been about adding locations for the sake of expansion. The focus has always been on building something consistent, something that delivers high-quality care in a way that can be sustained across different locations and teams.

Once that direction is clear, decisions start to filter differently. Instead of asking whether something works in the moment, the question becomes whether it supports what you’re trying to build over time. That shift changes how risk is evaluated. It becomes less about whether everything is perfectly aligned right now, and more about whether the opportunity fits into a larger, longer-term structure.

That doesn’t mean the process feels fully organized at every step. There’s a level of adaptability required when you move forward before everything is completely built out.

Each new location introduces new variables. Systems need to be adjusted. Teams need to be developed. Processes that worked at one scale don’t always translate cleanly to the next. That part doesn’t really go away, it just becomes more familiar over time.

I’ve learned to approach that as part of the process rather than something to avoid. The decision comes first, and then the infrastructure is built to support it. Not all at once, and not perfectly, but in layers. Each iteration improves the next one, and over time those improvements start to compound.

Scaling brush365 hasn’t been about having every answer in advance. It’s been about having a clear direction, making decisions that align with that direction, and then doing the work to make those decisions sustainable as the business grows.
