You don’t get results by focusing on results. You get results by focusing on the actions that produce results. — Mike Hawkins
Where’s your focus right now? At least 51% of our direction at all times should be on internal success. As a coach, my priority is on solo practice owners who want to be good at the craft and have a team that surrounds them that they trust that brings out the best in them. That brings out the best in the patient experience.
Doc, do you need a few tools that keep your focus on what’s important now?
- If you want to avoid distraction and elevate your practice owner confidence…
- Know why you’ll want a Definite Chief Aim like Bruce Lee…
- Show up as the type of dentist patients adore…
So you can develop the superpower of hyperfocus, tune in now!

Key Quotes:
- “Typical dentists don’t want to spend all night and day on their business. They want a support team, but they don’t want the toxicity. They don’t want the gossip. They don’t want the drama. They don’t want the headaches. They want to focus on being a great dentist and providing a certain level of care to patients.”
- “Life and business go sideways. When we put more of our attention on external success than we do on internal success.”
- “The news is bought by marketers and designed to trigger our primal fear response, right? And they scare you so that they can sell you a myriad of things.”
- “You are the product. And if you don’t want to be the product, you need ways to stay focused and elevate your confidence.”
- “The subconscious mind drives the vast majority of our behaviors, and it needs to have guidance and direction. Or usually, the default setting is not good.”
- “When it comes to obsession, you want it to be something that’s embedded in your subconscious and it gives you direction in day-to-day life.”
- “From habit science, you need a cue, a behavior, and a reward to embed a habit to really leverage the automaticity of the habit.”

Key Quotes:
- “Sometimes running a business is hard. Sometimes being an employer is hard. Sometimes just being a human on this planet is hard. But as you go on, as you create your mission and vision, make sure that you’re not leaving yourself out, and make sure that you are chasing what you love.”
- “Mastery takes time and effort.”
- “We are the stories we tell ourselves.”
- “Your money story has a profound impact on your practice.”
- “If I work hard, I get money, and hard work equals money. What happens if there’s not enough money? Does that mean I’m not working hard enough? Or does that mean I have a bad strategy?”

When deciding whether to do something, if you feel anything less than “Wow! That would be amazing! Absolutely! Hell yeah!” — then say no. — Derek Sivers
As a dental practice owner, a CEO, CFO, CMO, all rolled into one, saying NO is a leadership MUST! It sounds counter-intuitive at first, but speaking from personal experience, the moment I learned to say NO, that’s when my practice grew, my relationships fostered, and my personal, professional, and overall well-being optimized. Now, the question is, when do you say NO?
In this episode, I will discuss the gigantic costs of complexity in your dental practice. So if you want to hack away at the unessential, know when to say no, eliminate worry and low-value work so you can be a much more effective owner, tune in now! Are you ready to become the CEO of NO?

Key Quotes:
- “You are your number one asset.”
- “If things are breaking around you or you’re breaking or burning out, then the business fails.”
- “From a psychological and neurological standpoint, we have to train our minds to pursue the things that are important to us. And part of that cycle is a reward.”
- “The problem that we’re addressing is that Western culture assumes that more is better. Wealth is about money and positions only, and consuming creates happiness.”
- “There are great things that come with the trappings of success. There are great things with being able to splurge and have nice experiences and nice things. But those are, in fact, partial truths. We have to make sure that we’re not falling into the trap of that mantra of more is better, and money equals success. We need a more robust, durable solution. That’s the full truth.”
- “I have experienced it firsthand as a practice owner. I’ve never met a dentist that cut back days and regretted it.”
- “There comes a time in your career that you must say no to things that irritate and anger you and inhibit practice growth bottom line.”
- “Appreciate that saying no is hard. So expect grief when letting go.”
- “Saying yes to less is the way out.”

Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. – Khalil Gibran
Every time I read this poem, only one person comes to my mind — my mother. She’s an embodiment of visible love. There are moments in my practice when I always think of what would be different if my mom was in charge? Well, my guess is, first and foremost, they would make every patient feel welcome — at least for most mothers.
So coaching question for you, how would you act if mom was on surveillance? If you were sure that all the moms that you adore, all those wonderful elders, you wouldn’t want them to be disappointed in you.
In this episode, I discuss why you should Lead Like A Mother and how to enthuse your clients to refer. If you want to
- combat the transactional tendencies in dentistry,
- operate less like the medical industry and more like the hospitality industry, and
- develop a culture of generosity and giving so your practice will grow in any economy …
Tune in now. And as I always say, take charge and lead — like a mother!

Key Quotes:
- “The less we’re like medical, and the more we’re like hospitality, the better off our practices are.”
- “The problem that we’re addressing is that dentistry continues to get more and more transactional. But this gives us an opportunity, right? If dentistry is going to get more and more transactional, relationships always win the long game.”
- “We’re not just seeding and treating patients. We’re taking care of them. And they know that work is love made visible. They feel that.”
- “Make every patient feel like they’re the only one on the schedule.”
- “People, their BS meter is on high alert now. And any sort of fraudulent words or fraudulent behavior, they start to get a little suspicious.”
- “Make every patient feel welcome, be generous, focus on lifetime value, and last but not least, do it right, or don’t do it at all.”
