Many people live in the land of the free and home of the brave and yet are very much handicapped by the life they are trapped within, the profession they serve or the business they have created.<\/p>\n

True independence is about more than just freedom from suppression by government although that\u2019s an entirely different topic, it is about liberation from \u201chave-tos\u201d and enjoying a life of autonomy.<\/p>\n

Independence is everything from your ability to choose the patients you serve, the fees you charge, the schedule you keep, the staff you employee, the money you make, the vacations you take, and on and on.<\/p>\n

To be very blunt, it is sad to see how many Dentists accept less than they deserve and otherwise hinder their own autonomy with lack of proactivity and disciplined approach to business.\u00a0 I personally do not understand the point of owning a business, building a practice and only making an average professional\u2019s income.<\/p>\n

Real Entrepreneurial Doctors make at least two incomes, most 3 or 4, at the very least the income\/salary they are paid to perform dentistry and then the profits that the practice makes shifted over into some additional income-producing, wealth-accumulating assets.<\/p>\n

There are other \u201cin-office\u201d income streams available and then those who aspire to earn money by sharing their talents and expertise.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, life can be defined by the answer to this question \u2013<\/p>\n

\u201cTell Me About YOUR Bucket List\u201d<\/p>\n

Really, show me why you do what you do, what\u2019s the point, everyday, what are you working for that adds value to your life, that enhances the lives of others, what do you have to show for it?<\/p>\n

As I say in all of my presentations, if you feel content and happy with your life as it is in this very moment, just asks your spouse, your kids, the closest people around you, ask them their thoughts on whether you are getting all you deserve\u2026?<\/p>\n

Every July 4th (if you are celebrating in the US), I think it is important to reflect back on what really motivates you and if you are really embracing and empowering yourself to be the best you can be, through systems, leverage, and structured controlled progress.<\/p>\n

You can have forced success.<\/p>\n

And why not, life is too short, the TIME is always NOW.<\/p>\n

I challenge clients I work with to make a list of everything they want to accomplish in 2-3 years and then create a plan to do it in 12 months, and 12 months in 6 or even 3, I mean why not.<\/p>\n

Life is about the experiences you accumulate and the people you touch.\u00a0 Why would you want to pace yourself \u2013 yes \u2013 silly when put that way now isn\u2019t it.<\/p>\n

Right now, celebrate your independence by \u2018doing\u2019 something more, bigger, bolder, faster, different than what you are use to doing.<\/p>\n

Challenge yourself.\u00a0 I challenge you to want more for yourself, for your family, for your practice.\u00a0 You are in the position of power, choose to do something with it.<\/p>\n

I have dedicated my life and professional practice to helping people achieve, enjoy and experience more out of their businesses and life than they think is possible, because that\u2019s the way it\u2019s suppose to be.\u00a0 That is the point.<\/p>\n

I love the movie The Dead Poet\u2019s Society when Robin Williams talks about \u201ccarpe diem\u201d and then says, \u201cit\u2019s about grabbing on to life and sucking the marrow out of it.\u201d\u00a0 You either do that or you squander opportunity, those are your only options.<\/p>\n

It would my pleasure to provide you a pat on the back when you do well or a kick in the ass when you get off track.\u00a0 Everyone needs a coach, a guide, a cheerleader and most importantly a Strategists that sees you and your life for what it is and looks at your business and practice from the outside in order to help you maximize the value you extract from every day that you sacrifice doing what it is you do for so many other people.<\/p>\n

Success is created by deliberate, planned, calculated action.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to solidify your focus, get extreme clarity about what you want and where you are going; to accelerate your results and progress, because you deserve it.<\/p>\n

That is my what my Practice Prosperity and Profit Blueprint will do for you, customized to your unique and individual circumstances, situation, and life ambitions.<\/p>\n

I believe this is Your next step to truly embracing and experiencing real independence in your life\u2026I take the risk, you reap the reward, it would be an honor to assist you in this, your most worthy life\u2019s mission and purpose.<\/p>\n

Request your \u201cIndependence Strategy Call\u201d<\/a> and together we will make it happen.\u00a0 Prepare your list, the things that really get you juiced up and excited, what really invigorates you.<\/p>\n

This is about much more than just your practice, that\u2019s the easy part, it\u2019s about You, that\u2019s the fun part.\u00a0 Get ready for the time of your life the best is yet to come and it doesn\u2019t have to be far away, it shouldn\u2019t be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
