How often do I get to write on April Fool\u2019s Day? Sadly, with the state of affairs these days, it seems we are all on the receiving end of an ill-timed prank. I keep waking up expecting someone to jump out of the TV and yell \u201cApril Fools!\u201d Alas, it hasn\u2019t happened \u2013 yet. Maybe tomorrow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But hey, we aren\u2019t here to talk about all of the Problems out there. This place we\u2019ve created together will remain focused on a different set of P\u2019s\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People equals potential equals possibilities equals prosperity and of course we can add one more, peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you should consider the health of your patients as a form of prosperity as well, it\u2019s not just dollars and cents. Achieving optimal health is a wealth all its own. The more you enhance someone\u2019s life through their health and well-being the richer you are making them. The more prosperous they become in self-worth, confidence, and dignity, the more they get to enjoy their life and pour themselves into their own possibilities instead of spending all their time, energy, and money patching up problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You do this for your patients. How amazing is that! But do you truly embrace and embody it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s move back to the original topic for you in honor of this day of oddities called April Fool\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reality of most Practice Owner\u2019s lives is that they are doing foolish things without even realizing it. Often times because they are following someone\u2019s or something\u2019s ideas without understanding the implications it has on their ability to do dentistry on their own terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the equivalent of playing by rules without knowing how you win the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I talked about last week, you design your practice to serve your life and design your dentistry to serve your purpose, passion, profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s foolish to blindly follow others when you don\u2019t know where they are going, what they are after, or when they expect to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s foolish to accept anything (in particular the status quo) as fact when you haven\u2019t tested it, broken it, or at least questioned it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s foolish to care about anyone\u2019s criticism of your approach or judgment of your goals, as it all comes from a place of selfishness or envy or lack of responsibility for their own lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these foolish mindsets are what hold doctors back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one we usually talk about is your belief of what is possible. Whether you are problem focused or solution focused, negative or positive, see all the reasons why something won\u2019t work or why it will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, all of the positive attitude will still only take you so far. If you are making these foolish mistakes that are certain to keep you stuck on a plateau with no path to achieve higher levels going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, I gave you a couple bonus video segments where I answered questions from independent private practice owners just like you who were stuck in a mindset of foolish thought about insurance and profitability, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of my responses begin first with a paradigm shift from a position of limited thinking to a responsibility of taking full control over outcomes in order to predictably engineer the results that you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is one example&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s foolish to become a doctor and then have an insurance company tell you they know better than you do about what a patient does or doesn\u2019t need, should or shouldn\u2019t receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s even more foolish to own a business and then have someone else dictate to you what you should be paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s even more foolish to let patients be at the mercy of insurance companies in how they make decisions about their own health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, this is exactly my point. Even when someone knows better they will place the blame on an outside variable and accept the role of victim; instead of changing the mindset around it and battling it back with proven strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution to my insurance example is to explain the benefits and value to the patient and how it\u2019s in their best interest. Be proud of clinical philosophy and stand by your recommendations. Period. You can\u2019t be accommodating to every patient by breaking all of your own rules and going against all of your own principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same goes for the profitability of your practice. Every doctor around this time of year looks at their P and L and wonders where all the money went and how could they have so little to show for all the work yet still have to pay so much in taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because doctors are foolishly leaving practice decisions to an accountant who is reviewing computer screens and bank statements \u2013 after the fact. Instead of having any reasonable understanding of the reality of your cash as it is flowing through the practice and into your life; they simply advise to reduce your tax liability (as if that\u2019s your reason for existence).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, the most foolish thing any business owner could do is to forget the entire point is to make greater profits so you have more control over your future (and your team\u2019s future) and more options on the table to help your patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first objective is never to pay as little taxes as possible \u2013 it\u2019s to make as much money as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fools get everything out of order. They see what is an inferior priority as the focal point and miss the greater values which makes all others less significant. Fools literally step over dollars to pick up dimes just because they can fit more in their pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve got a couple more foolish thoughts for you here and to go along with them, I have some additional Q and A videos that I recorded from the other two Freedoms I presented in my\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/better\/course.php?unlock=1\">Radically Better Way To Practice Dentistry training<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from succumbing to insurance and letting it run through the minds of the people in your practice, and delegating your practice ownership decisions to your CPA \u2013 these two videos address the two places I find doctors are the most foolish in how they see and then execute with the two most valuable assets in their practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time and Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you do with your Time and your Team has everything to do with what you will be able to achieve and get out of your practices. It will be interesting to see if you are being foolish with these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time Freedom Questions\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/better\/course.php?unlock=4\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Time-Freedom.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Time-Freedom.png 724w, https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Time-Freedom-300x163.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The flip from foolish to smart on schedule is quite simple.

The irony of doctors who are questioning why they aren\u2019t hitting bigger goals but never looking at (let alone tracking) the actual dollars of case acceptance, the size of their treatment plans, and how they are breaking down their appointments.
