Last week, in my Tuesday Memo to our Doctors, I asked them what have they been avoiding dealing with or what next decisions are standing in their way of progress.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s often these things that go undone that are the reasons why more success is not realized, more patients not helped, more money not made. \u00a0Sure it can be a negative way of thinking about it. \u00a0However, the great Napoleon Hill termed this \u201caccurate thinking\u201d \u2013 meaning assessing what actually is reality.<\/p>\n

As human nature would have it, we justify things undone, mistakes made, opportunities missed because of how it makes us feel if we own the responsibility.<\/p>\n

There are things in your life right now you have justified being as they are because you haven\u2019t taken the initiative to make them a priority or place enough importance on them to take action. \u00a0That\u2019s not harsh or judgmental. \u00a0It\u2019s reality. \u00a0What you focus on you get more of, what you make time for you accomplish, what you value you hold important.<\/p>\n

If you think about the things you could do more of (more often, more consistently, more effectively), to better contribute to your team and patients\u2019 successes, what would those things be?<\/p>\n

There are tasks you are great at; probably most everything you do \u2013 when you do it. \u00a0And that is, as I always emphasize, the hardest part of success and of any person\u2019s responsibility\u2026 the discipline to carry it out again and again every single time and to always prioritize importance of value so that the highest level items get done first.<\/p>\n

This is why I am adamant about having treatment plans pre-printed. \u00a0Why I suggest discussing next appointments at the beginning of the current appointment (not an \u2018oh by the way\u2019 if you have time at the end. \u00a0Why I stress not only taking pictures but talking about the pictures and not just diagnosing but asking the patient questions. \u00a0All of these things matter.<\/p>\n

If the only point was to \u2018get it done\u2019 instead of the quality of the outcome, the percent of case acceptance, the true clinical yes and the full commitment of the patient \u2013 then it would all be a lot easier. \u00a0To the point that just about anyone could learn to do it.<\/p>\n

Instead, you \u2013 not the task or action \u2013 are the uniqueness in the experience. \u00a0The difference is in your level of attention to detail and willingness to perform the nuances that are necessary to create positive results.<\/p>\n

I absolutely know you sell yourself short. \u00a0You are probably down on yourself too often. \u00a0You certainly don\u2019t give yourself enough credit for what you do to help your team and patients win. \u00a0That\u2019s why the secret to a positive attitude and healthy personal psyche is to commit and promise yourself to always do your best.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s your decision to show up every day with every patient and do your part to make success happen. \u00a0And that is the distinction between good teams and great teams.<\/p>\n

So, I will ask you again: what\u2019s holding you back from being at your very best? \u00a0And what are you willing to do about it?<\/p>\n

You, more than anyone else, deserves you to be at your best because that will give you the pride and confidence to build your self-worth; which is a value no one else can ever give you. \u00a0The more you value yourself, the more you can be of value to others.<\/p>\n

Life is predominantly a mirror. \u00a0Attitudes are a reflection of one\u2019s inner self. \u00a0The best part is, no one has control over yours but you. \u00a0However, therein lies one of life\u2019s most trying personal responsibilities: you are the cause and effect for much of the positive or negative that you experience.<\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t brimming with pride over your accomplishments, if you aren\u2019t getting everything you want out of life, and if you aren\u2019t a beacon of positivity for others, be reminded: only you can make \u2018you\u2019 worth more to yourself.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
