Key Quotes:

  • “In this age of hyper abundance, over-indulgence, pleasure, and addiction, confidence will come from understanding in managing your dopamine.”
  • “We live in an era of consumption and compulsion, and we have to embrace that. All of us are pleasure addicted.”
  •  “If we don’t understand addiction, and we don’t understand where it comes from, if we don’t understand how to leverage that as a force for good and avoid it as a force of evil, then we lose this chess match of addiction.”
  • “We are our addictions. Our patterns of thought, our patterns of behavior, and what we typically call personality is simply an addiction.” 
  • “Pleasure inevitably leads to pain. And so we have to be okay with lows after our wins. It’s just part of the process.”

Your 3-Year Vision: Practice Growth Through Turbulent Times

Most small business owners, particularly in dentistry, when they’re planning growth, either it’s the hope-and-pray method like I hope we grow or it’s forecasting growth, meaning most decisions are past-driven. The problem with forecasted growth is it allows the past to be an anchor.

In this episode, I tell you why future-casting beats forecasting.

  • So if you want to create your own economy,
  • prevent employee turnover,
  • enjoy more vacations,
  • and have a career that you’re truly proud of…tune in now!

I want you all to be great leaders. I want you all to have practice owner confidence in any economy. And it all starts with your 3-year vision.

Key Quotes:

  • “Having employed many different people over time, I can remember those who worked for me and grew up in entrepreneurial environments. They just stand out the things that are troubling for other people. They know how to surf those waves; those waves don’t crash down on their heads.” 
  • “I used to think of these things like vision, mission, and values as a would-be-nice-to-have. But now I consider them essential because there’s so much noise, so much distraction. So many things are trying to insult our small businesses that if we don’t have a well-designed future that looks better than this, it’s easy to get locked up in the noise. It’s easy to get distracted. It’s easy to get frustrated.”
  • “Hard doesn’t make it unnecessary. It doesn’t mean it’s something that you should avoid. It just means it’ll take a little bit more time and effort to build this out.” 
  • “Vision becomes really important. Yes, it is make-believe, but it helps you design a specific future.”
  • “Don’t worry about the ‘how.’ Just worry about the ‘what.'”
  • “Do not feel guilty for wanting what you want. Don’t buy into someone else’s vision and version of success. Don’t feel like you have to explain it to anyone else.”
  • “The ‘what’ and the ‘why’ have to come before the ‘how.'”

  • “We have to make sure that we don’t need to pitch the service. We have to make sure that we’re solving problems for the patient.”

  • “Active listening from a healthcare provider is rare.”
  • “Deep listening means not just listening to the words. It means listening to their emotion.”

How to Create Time

Are you tired because you have been exhausted? Do you have a team waiting to support you, but they don’t have information? Are you living in a world of “mushroom communication”?

The issue with all entrepreneurs is there are not enough hours in the day. You only have so much workforce, and sometimes that gets in the way because we end up doing too much. We create this kind of codependent relationship with our employees because we’re doing what they should be doing on their own, but we have to take responsibility for that.

In this episode, I discuss how to avoid practice owner overwhelm. So if you want to focus ONLY on your clinical and CEO responsibilities, get good at delegation, and create a self-motivated team so you can enjoy your workdays, tune in now!

Key Quotes:

  • “The possibility becomes that we can create mental freedom and a great team through delegation. Delegation is this result multiplier. It’s a force multiplier.”
  • “We’re looking for results. We’re looking to add more value to more patients each day. That’s how we get a business to grow.”
  • “We have to appreciate that delegation takes time. That’s why we don’t do it because it takes time.”
  • “It’s the autonomy that will really drive the results for the total business.”
  • “You can’t just start with delegation. You can’t just start with a self-managing team. There needs to be a process.” 
  • “CEO stuff is thinking, and you need time set aside for them, and you can’t do that if you don’t have it.”

How to Start a Confidence Stampede

If you want to:

  • stop playing small,
  • move past your urgency bias,
  • & have a much bigger impact on your team, patients, friends, and family …
