“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” — Aristotle
It’s a brand new year, and we’re always in the habit of listing down things that we want to improve for the entire year, whether for ourselves or our practice. Before you sign off this year’s resolution, I’d like to ask you to park your pen for a while and ponder on this: Instead of focusing on what to improve, why not look into the things you need to remove? What hindered your growth in 2021 that you don’t want to carry over in 2022?
Let me share a mantra for you this year: “Weeds before Seeds.” Clear your space with weeds so you can grow more seeds.
In this first episode for the new year, I’ll discuss elevating your confidence and the origins of your excellence. So if you want to level up your dental practice this year, understand the meaning of arete, know why you need to focus on the weeds before the seeds so that you can stop being overreliant on that willpower of yours, then stay tuned.

Key Quotes:
- “The problem is that dentists are overly reliant on willpower, and willpower is important. But the problem with willpower is that it’s finite.”
- “Arete is an essence in everything you do and the striving toward your potential or purpose.”
- “Habits, or what we repeatedly do, is the engine of success or, if poorly executed, is the engine of failure and despair.”
- “If you want to go further, faster in 2022, you should start looking at your weeds.”
- “Some of those habits are just your way of thinking, beliefs, stories that have been planted as seeds, but they’re really weeds.”
- “You have to be able to control your mind because if you let your mind control you, usually good things don’t happen.”
- “Make sure that you’re growing and evolving so that everything that you touch turns into gold.”

Key Quotes:
- “The problem, as I see it, is that many business owners and dentistry and healthcare, and other industries are experts in an earlier version of the world.“
- “A transformation isn’t a shift in what you do. It’s a shift in who you are, so you can extend who you are as a business owner and leader.”
- “We’re designed to remain the same –homeostasis. We’re designed to stay the same. And when we change identity, part of us dies.”
- “If we want a more radical shift, a transformation, you as a leader will have to change the way that you think about your business and leadership.”

“Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frighten us.” — Marianne Williamson
Have you ever experienced something that you thought was bad but turned out to be for your own good? Or have you ever stepped in and made a bad situation better? Either way, you can feel that great power is at play in every situation.
You can be powerful and use that power as leverage to multiply your gains in your practice. As the famous line goes — “with great power comes great responsibility.” Just make sure that you use your power in influencing others to discover their potential.
In this episode, I will discuss how to enjoy more cash flow and the six greatest sources of power in your practice. So if you want to embrace the real leverage points in your business, acknowledge the untapped potential in your practice, and turn more of your ownership and obstacles into opportunities so that you can really take charge of that income, then stay tuned.

Key Quotes:
- “When you’re constantly seeing power put in a negative context, it naturally becomes something that many of us disowned because we start to see it as power is bad.”
- “Most of our educational pathways teach us to blend in — not to be creative, not to be powerful, not to color outside the lines.”
- “Power is something that we need to embrace in practice because it’s just making sure that we’re more efficient and more effective in delivering the goods, the services, the experiences, that we want for our patients.”
- “We’re in a high transaction environment, but if you’re willing to play the long game and intentionally build a reputation, this can be a huge source of power because few are willing to pour into this.”
- “Clarity can bring certainty, and certainty will bring confidence for you and your team and your practice and your patients, and that all leads to cash flow.”
- “A lot of times we’re adding, we’re buying things. When in reality, the next biggest leap in our practice is literally hidden in plain sight.”

“We live for turning new guests into old friends,” says the slogan on display in one of my favorite restaurants when I was still practicing in the north of Carolina — one that had a beneficial impact on the way I’m connecting with my staff and patients. It has been even more valuable up to this day in my coaching career.
As we wind down 2021 and tee up for an epic 2022, let’s pause and draft down some action items on how to make your team more confident to ensure a recognizable and upgraded experience for your patients. While you’re at it, think of yourself as Richard Branson, the CEO of the Virgin Group, and ask, “what would a billionaire like me do with my practice?”.
In this episode, I will be talking about patient-driven leadership and the six ways to fight the ‘great commoditization.’ If you want to win big in 2022, have no worries about competition, insurance companies, and downward pressure on your income, then sit tight and hang with me here for a little bit.

Key Quotes:
- “We have to recognize that there will always be a customer. There will always be consumers who refuse to be seen by the lowest bidder.“
- “The solution to commoditization is differentiation and decentralization.”
- “You’re hiring people to serve patients. They start to understand that you are not their boss. The patient is their boss. The patient is the one writing the paychecks, and you, as the owner, will align them towards that well-defined mission and give them all the tools and training they need to be extraordinarily successful.”
- “We need a practice that is growing. And if we have a practice that is growing, it’s going to be a byproduct of team members and their mindset and skills.”
- “Enhance the culture so that you can enthuse more clients.”
- “You should constantly be turning your frustrations into innovations.”

- Quote: To achieve consistently terrific customer service, you must hire wonderful people who believe in your company’s goals, habitually do better than the norm, and who will love their jobs; make sure that their ideas and opinions are heard and respected; then give them the freedom to help and solve problems for your customers. Rather than providing rules or scripts, you should ask them to treat the customer as they themselves would like to be treated—surely the highest standard. — Richard Branson
