Your Lifestyle Practice Manifesto – Part 4

We’ve all heard the expression “it takes a village” and it really does.  In business and in life.  Especially in Dentistry.  Now you don’t need an army of people to be successful.  In fact, it’s not the quantity of people on your team, it is absolutely the quality and effectiveness of those people that really matters.

I see teams of 5 or 6 out perform teams of 10 or 12 all the time, simply because they are more effective. They perform at a higher level, they expect more, they do more, they are cultivating more meaningful dentistry from appreciating and appropriate patients.

Plain and simple: your team matters.  You will only be as good as the people around you.

Over the past several weeks, we have identified three (and now the fourth), key factor in developing and sustaining a Lifestyle Practice for you.

The big question is why would you want anything other than this.

Your practice should serve your lifestyle, your family and your personal objectives through the achievement of your professional ones.  Everything must be in balance.

One of the most overlooked aspects is your Team.  I have yet to ever see a practice that does enough for their team to ensure they are capable of achieving the highest level goals that the doctor has.

I can give you cliché after cliché – none of those matter – what matters is what you commit to and that you own the idea that to grow the practice you must grow your people.

This is the secret to the most profitable practices, to the most stable practices, to the most lifestyle balanced practices.  They go to work on the people so that they too understand the significance of what is being accomplished and they also benefit along the way.

There has and always will be a problem in any dental practice of what I call the trickle down effect.  This occurs when the highest level, most valuable information is known only to the doctor and then depending on the doctor’s leadership and dedication to the team (not to mention his/her ability in communicating), the doctor will trickle down some of the information to the team.

But never enough.

This is the reason why Dental Success Today works directly with the team so that we are talking straight to the people that are interacting with the patients.

It’s not enough for you to develop yourself because your team will act as anchors around you instead of the opposite where they lift you up to higher levels of success.

Simple math… there are more of them than there is of you.  If they grow, you grow.  If you grow, they grow if you make that a committed and dedicated principle in your lifestyle practice manifesto.

You might wonder why I place “team” in YOUR Lifestyle Practice Manifesto.

It’s more important than just a weekly message. I’m going to take you deep into the details of this during my culminating webinar where I walk you through exactly how to create your own lifestyle practice based on the manifesto decisions we have been talking about.

Lifestyle Practices are unique, individual, different for every Doctor and yet there is a proven and successful formula capable of being replicated.  Within this training will be the most precise and certain formula for you to take, embrace and make your own.  Nearly like magic, you will be able to elevate the control you have over your practice that will lead you to a level of independence from it like you never imagined possible before.
