Last week, I talked about the several levels of threats that come from the outside, I called them external threats. These include forces that exist outside your practice but very much impact your practice, your patients, and even your team.

In my Whiteboard Session, I’ll share three private practice business moves you can make to never again be at the mercy of these external forces.

These external factors apply pressure to your practice. Everything from the economic environment to industry specific trends. Where (among other factors) you face increased corporate competition and decreased insurance reimbursements combining to suppress fees for private practice doctors. These threats work in concert to diminish your ability to make your own decisions, live a balanced lifestyle, and practice on your own terms.

The odd part about this is you are (by definition) independent. You choose Private Practice. And that means you deserve the right to be independent from these forces.

Every single day I see private practices give up their own power and volunteer to conform to the norms of run-of-the-mill, watered down, commoditized dentistry in every way… and then complain about it as if they were coerced into a corner.

In reality, all of these decisions stem from a completely different set of threats. Even the most burdensome external threat can become completely powerless if you master one last type of threat; which happens to be the most important to overcome. More on that in a moment.

Each of these forces act like dominoes. The fall of one leads to another which leads to another. That’s why it’s so critical you strengthen your practice from the ground up and insulate yourself from all possible pressures.

If you let any of the external threats (the economy, insurance, competition, industry trends), push you around and you start making decisions based on the status quo or what the “majority” believes, then you will be slowly weakening the foundation of your practice.

This shows up mostly in lower fees, dependence on insurance, or even letting team members dictate practice operations.

Your practice becomes ruled by everyone else – but you. You become a servant to others as you simply follow their demands.

During my Whiteboard Session, I will show you exactly how to identify, prevent, and eliminate these deep-rooted issues. You’ll walk away with a game plan to take back control, operate on your own terms, and unlock the prosperity hidden in your practice.

Now, back to this key threat that serves as the linchpin to everything else…

The only way any threat ever gets the best of you and gets in the way of your success – is if you have even the slightest inkling of the most destructive type of threat in your life. These are truly internal threats that exist inside of your mind and make up your belief system.

The big ones are… lack of confidence, low self-worth, not feeling deserving of success, guilt (maybe the most damaging), self-doubt, fear of failure.

These can come from childhood, from colleagues, sometimes from past disappointments, from criticisms (past or anticipated), among many other sources. They can stem from wanting to be liked by everyone or afraid of confrontation or even just having your misaligned goals.

Now, even though these are inside of your – there is something else in there too. It has not been removed, in fact it can’t be. It has only been suppressed, hidden, often overshadowed so much so that you don’t even realize it’s still there.

And that is your own powerful potential.

I will explain exactly how to tap into that source and light your practice, your life, your ambition on fire again. Maybe, really, for the first time in your life. We’ll have it burning brighter than you can ever imagine and you will be amazed at how it will light up your world, remove your threats, dramatically change your perspective, shatter any self-imposed limiting beliefs, explode your expectations of what’s achievable, and enable you to discover true fulfillment.

You’ll be living your best life, being your best self, and sharing it with everyone you care for and about.

We will unleash your potential to turn dreams into your realities and that is the gift, the power, the responsibility of a private practice owner and independent doctor.

This is the difference between being at the mercy of threats versus shifting threats into opportunities. During my Whiteboard Session, I will give you the game plan to flip the script once and for all.
