they justify their low performance or inadequacies by just \u2018being thankful for what they have\u2019 (as if that\u2019s good enough).<\/p>\n<p>I have always felt the way to express the greatest amount of gratitude is to do something with yourself, make a difference for others, to have ambition and strive for more.\u00a0 To be grateful, you must be plentiful with your impact \u2013 that\u2019s the point.<\/p>\n<p>It would seem that the way to honor your skills, your experience, your sacrifices even and, perhaps especially, God, is to maximize everything you possibly can for the benefit of others.<\/p>\n<p>In Dentistry, that means don\u2019t be a slouch to only fixing problems in your patients and not ever working towards prevention.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t short change people of having a beautiful smile and feeling great about themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Pursue complete health and show patients the benefits of all you can do.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t just employ your team, empower them.\u00a0 Make a difference in all the people around you, not just the ones with your hand in their mouths.<\/p>\n<p>This means that you can\u2019t succumb to insurance and let your impact be so careless.\u00a0 This means your mission can\u2019t blow around like a feather in the wind and your purpose left wandering around with a broken compass.<\/p>\n<p>You owe it to yourself to take this thing seriously.\u00a0 Not just dentistry; I\u2019m talking about your business.<\/p>\n<p>You are a business owner.\u00a0 Being thankful for the vehicle you\u2019ve chosen as a profession, as your livelihood, but don\u2019t stop there.\u00a0 You have the power to make this thing whatever you want.<\/p>\n<p>You have the opportunity to be thankful for more because you can be a creator of more.\u00a0 You are the Master, the Captain, the Leader, the one who gets to decide.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not enough to just want it \u2013 you have to commit to it \u2013 and you have to have a plan of action.\u00a0 Wishing it won\u2019t work.\u00a0 Hoping for change isn\u2019t a strategy.\u00a0 Being thankful is important but it\u2019s also about the past \u2013 it doesn\u2019t guarantee anything about the future.<\/p>\n<p>On this Black Friday, when every store on earth is vying for as many dollars as they can get from every single person\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I am asking you to give yourself permission to want more.\u00a0 More success.\u00a0 More freedom.\u00a0 More dentistry you love.\u00a0 More commitment from your team.\u00a0 More patients who appreciate.\u00a0 More time for you.\u00a0 More abundance, more profit, more wealth, more memories with your family\u2026 More things to give thanks for, next year.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why, this year for Thanksgiving, I wanted to do something very different.\u00a0 I wanted to give you a gift.\u00a0 My best way of saying thanks for your dedication and commitment to constant and never ending improvement \u2013 in other words being a Champion Doctor \u2013 is to give you two things\u2026<\/p>\n<p>First, permission; which I have already done.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the secret to making everything you want come true.<\/p>\n<p>That is what my new book is all about.\u00a0 That is what you are going to get.\u00a0 I can talk about all the business tactics and all the practice principle and all the ways to get patients to say yes and blah blah blah \u2013 but none of that really matters if you aren\u2019t getting everything you want out of this deal.<\/p>\n<p>So, before the year is over, before the last month begins, before you settle for less than you deserve, before any of that\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Do this: arm yourself with The Secret To Your Ultimate Practice Success\u2026 this is the key to thriving in your practice as a business, as a profitable vehicle for your life \u2013 that is also one you are excited about, passionate for, proud of.<\/p>\n<p>This will make certain you have even more to be thankful for again next year.<\/p>\n<p>That is my gift and way of saying thanks and showing my deep appreciation for you \u2013 to make sure that you aren\u2019t selling yourself short \u2013 that you are getting all you can out of all you are \u2013 because you deserve it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thedentalsuccesssecret.com\/free\/\"><strong>Get Your Free Copy of My New Book: <em>The Dental Success Secret<\/em> &gt;&gt;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now, go out there and feed the economy.\u00a0 You have nothing to worry about.\u00a0 You now have the secret to everything else you are ever going to need.\u00a0 Celebrate, be grateful and give thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I sure hope this finds you more thankful than ever, after spending Thanksgiving with your family and having a chance to reflect on all that you have and all that you are.
