or some doctor in a study club went on a rant because \u2018you don\u2019t work enough\u2019 and therefore \u2018you can\u2019t possibly be making more money than me.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0Of course, they act out of envy and attempt to degrade someone who is helping more patients, doing more comprehensive dentistry and making more money.<\/p>\n<p>When another doctor wants you to be less successful to make themselves feel better, don\u2019t buy it.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t buy into it.\u00a0Don\u2019t practice dentistry, run your business, manage your life by anyone else\u2019s standards.\u00a0\u00a0Because you deserve better than that.<\/p>\n<p>When you first started out and you made the decision to become a Dentist, you had a vision of what that would look like, feel like, be like, earn like.\u00a0\u00a0When you first started your practice, you had a vision of what that would look like, feel like, be like, earn like five, ten, twenty, thirty (for some forty) years later.<\/p>\n<p>The simple question is: right now, how close are you to THAT original vision?\u00a0\u00a0And what have you wanted to change about that vision?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s okay to want something and it\u2019s okay to change what you want.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s your life and your practice.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s the point.<\/p>\n<p>Doctors often ask me, \u201cWhy dentistry, Scott?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0They are mostly intrigued but also mystified because why would a \u2018non-dentist\u2019 find joy in dentistry.\u00a0\u00a0Really what they want to know is why would I expose myself to such torture as insurance, corporate dentistry, team turnover, the oddity of the mind of some doctors, among many other things.<\/p>\n<p>For me the answer is simple.\u00a0It wasn\u2019t deliberate at first.\u00a0But then it was.\u00a0\u00a0After dentistry found me, I was hooked.\u00a0\u00a0I become infatuated with the possibilities that you have to help people while also controlling your own destiny.\u00a0\u00a0Dentistry allows you to have the freedom to completely design your career, business, practice, life and future however you want it to be.<\/p>\n<p>From my Mastery of Business, there is nothing more exciting to me than that.<\/p>\n<p>And then I discovered the opportunity of all opportunities \u2013 to help Doctors just like you because of the unfortunate fact that most Doctors do little and more often do nothing to help themselves.<\/p>\n<p>I believe in what you are capable of, the question is: do you?<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get stuck inside the BOX that someone (the industry, your professors, your spouse, your team, your patients, your colleagues), has trapped you in.\u00a0\u00a0The first thing I am here to do for you is to destroy the box.<\/p>\n<p>Every Doctor has some type of box that restricts and limits their beliefs about what is possible.\u00a0And no Doctor ever achieves, earns, accomplishes more than their beliefs will allow.<\/p>\n<p>That is why today and everyday I give you permission to Dream, Desire, Strive and Achieve for yourself, your family, your team, and your patients \u2013 all on your own terms.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next few weeks, I will take you outside of the box you are living and practicing in so you can free yourself from the barriers that are holding you back from your next breakthroughs and from truly having it all, in and out of dentistry.<\/p>\n<p>My purpose, passion, obsession and commitment to you is to make certain you are living up to your own potential.\u00a0\u00a0That begins today with you breaking down the walls and allowing yourself to open your mind and start asking yourself what do you want more, better, different for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>I have given you the permission.\u00a0\u00a0Will you accept it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many guiding principles that are at the core of why I am successful at helping and facilitating my doctors\u2019 successes.\u00a0\u00a0These are not common principles and not common successes, either.\u00a0\u00a0Most of these achievements extend beyond anything they could have really imagined possible before and certainly beyond what any of their colleagues would believe.
