Scarcity in abundance. These terms get a little overused, like gratitude, blessed, abundant. We can feel these things, or we can use these things as tools. And the problem that I see here is that we’re living in a vortex of scarcity. We quickly get lost in the labyrinth of overabundant resources that we fail to focus on and address issues that will keep our culture and practice sustainable.
This week’s topic is enjoying cash flow. Today’s episode talks about how you can use abundance as a tool or develop tools that lead you to abundant thinking that make sure that you are taking suitable risks and making the right choices for today, tomorrow, and the future. So listen, take charge, and lead the way!

“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.
