You know this. Every Dentist has completely different goals, life, circumstances, and especially Practices.<br \/>\nThis is why I detest when people out there try to force upon you their own agendas; telling you what your goals should be. DON\u2019T FALL VICTIM to the misleading ways of someone who feeds off of your insecurity or tries to manipulate YOUR definition of success.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m telling you right now \u2013 the most important thing you can ever do in your life is &#8211;<br \/>\nSET YOUR OWN COMPASS and know what success is, looks like, feels like, tastes like, smells like, sounds like to YOU and no one else.<\/p>\n<p>Here, let me help you.<\/p>\n<p>Right now \u2013 if I were to ask you this question how would you answer\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you want MORE of in your life?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>seems easy right, go ahead and give it a try&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>more time off<br \/>\nmore money in the bank<br \/>\nmore exercise<br \/>\nmore travel<br \/>\nmore patients<br \/>\nmore comprehensive dentistry<br \/>\nmore time with your family<br \/>\nmore mission work<br \/>\nmore philanthropy<br \/>\nmore \u2013 fill in the blank<br \/>\nHow about this one\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you want LESS of in your life?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>less patients<br \/>\nless drill and fill dentistry<br \/>\nless team members<br \/>\nless hours working<br \/>\nless debt<br \/>\nless stress<br \/>\nless wasted chair side time<br \/>\nless after hours work<br \/>\nless unhealthy food<br \/>\nless complaints from your spouse for FILL IN THE BLANK<br \/>\nless \u2013 WHATEVER ruins your peace of mind and quality of life<br \/>\nNow. These are very basic examples of helping you to define how \u201csuccess\u201d should be evolving in your life.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is: YOU SET THE COMPASS and DETERMINE the DEFINITION, TARGET, GOAL, OUTCOME of what Success is for you.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t, then you will be at the mercy of everyone else\u2019s definition for you.<\/p>\n<p>Shall I say that again. I think so.<\/p>\n<p>IF YOU DO NOT DEFINE SUCCESS FOR YOURSELF; Someone else will force their definition for you, their own agenda on to yours and into your life and practice.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the idea that I believe in, that every Dentist I work with and help, guide, implement, grow their Practice through my customized transformation and individualized lifestyle blueprint process\u2026<\/p>\n<p>You live principled centered. You must also practice principle centered.<\/p>\n<p>And you get to be the judge. Good news bad news, the good news is you are in control of you\u2026the bad news is that eliminates every excuse you have, are, or will ever use.<\/p>\n<p>When you take ownership over your definition of success\u2026magic happens.<\/p>\n<p>Are you ready?! Here\u2019s where the biggest breakthrough in your life + practice comes in allowing you to realize and fulfill the definition of success that you have.<\/p>\n<p>It is when you understand just like success in life is different for every Dentist, the path to getting there in your practice is different for every Dentist also.<\/p>\n<p>There are in fact 8 specific and dramatically different WAYS to \u201cgrow\u201d your Practice. And \u201cgrowth\u201d is such an arbitrary term, much like \u201csuccess\u201d. You get to determine what growth you actually want.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next few weeks I\u2019m going to take you on an in-depth look at these 8 ways to grow your Dental Practice so that you will have all options on the table, all items available on the menu, and you will literally get to pick your own approach to growth.<\/p>\n<p>You see, you WANT MORE and WANT LESS, list of things you wrote out and talked through in your mind\u2026it\u2019s all possible, every single one of them, it is however going to require you to LOOK AT and actually SEE your Practice differently.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s going to require you to THINK ABOUT Dentistry and the business of dentistry DIFFERENTLY and you will, I promise, breathe a deep sigh of relief, smile with pleasure, and gain confidence, certainty, and peace of mind about the future for your vision and finally enjoy living out the Practice of YOUR DREAMS and of your own definition.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s going to be an extraordinary dialogue we will have. As always I, and no one else \u2026and I mean no one\u2026 is going to give it to you straight, talk TRUTH about making money in dentistry ON YOUR OWN TERMS, give you the reality of building the practice you have always envisions and making sure you are following your mission, purpose, and passion to your chosen concept of success.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you already know and what I will remind you about right now.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re different. I\u2019m different. We aren\u2019t like the others and we are here together to make extraordinary things happen in your life because you deserve them, every single item on your two lists you created today can be yours as long as you are committed to achieving them and not just talking about them.<\/p>\n<p>YOUR GOALS are my goals, I want what you want and that is how I want you to judge me\u2026did YOU get what you wanted out of this relationship, that is ultimately all that matters, exactly like your Patients.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the biggest variable in this deal \u2013 is You.<\/p>\n<p>Prepare for myths to be debunked, for your eyes to be wide open, and for your mind to go through a life-changing practice-altering paradigm shift of all the ways you will experience HEALTHY GROWTH in your Practice that matches the degree and type of success you are ready to receive.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Scott<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSuccess\u201d carries all kinds of definitions.
