“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.” — George Bernard Shaw
The problem we’re addressing today is that cultures that are too careful, that are too risk-averse, unintentionally undermine innovation, undermine practice growth, and really undermine employee job satisfaction.
In this episode, I discuss high-performance dental teams. So, if you want to:
- Increase your team’s productivity,
- Avoid losing a key team member, and
- Encourage mistakes of ambition so you can be an effective boss, then tune in now!
Lastly, I have an offer for you! I’m looking for four hungry dentists who want to join my case study group. If you’re a little frustrated with your current situation or more than a little frustrated, you’re a perfect candidate. Listen to this episode and find out how to join.

Key Quotes:
- “Unfortunately, our industry is notorious for hiring bright, ambitious people. We work really hard to find the right people. And then we put them in situations where they squander those talents and the ambition goes to waste.”
- “The possibility is that we can get the most out of our payroll dollars and have a constant supply of fresh ideas and innovation in our practice, which is gonna move our practice into the future.”
- “Let’s learn some lessons from one mistake and turn that into something that we all can learn from.”
- “Either we win or we learn.”
- “Sometimes the most powerful words that a leader can state is ‘this is what I’m working on.’ Or ‘this is where I messed up. And this is what I plan to do to resolve it.’ Or ‘this is my mistake and this is what I learned.'”

Key Quotes:
- “I went from not knowing what I was gonna do to being so decisive and so determined to the point where I really didn’t care about anyone else’s opinions.”
- “The real magic is being really good at diagnosing. What is the constraint? What is the rate-limiting step? Where are the breaks on where we need to release the breaks? And in almost all practices I know of, there is a bit of people-pleasing and approval addiction.”
- “We’re all programmed that others’ recognition contributes to our own self-worth. And I think as infants, you could care less, and then it’s kind of, we’ve knocked around, and then we become more approval seeking.”
- “Now with social media, we get likes and hearts and shares and things like that. You’re exposed to all sorts of reviews, especially if you’ve automated the review process. And that exposes you to not only the five-star reviews, but you’re also kind of prompting people to have a voice that maybe you don’t want them to share their voice.”
- “We can’t worry too much about what they were thinking because it’s saying more about them than it’s saying about you. So recognize that hurt people, hurt people.”
- “The less you judge others, the less you’ll think about others judging you. Right? And then go back to when someone is judging you; it really has nothing to do with you. They’re usually projecting their own uncertainty.”

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.”

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.'”
