Last week we talked about PLAYING BIG \u2013 and every week I work hard to bring you things that both motivate you and inspire you to action \u2013 and while doing that provide you with tactical strategies and different ways of thinking about your Practice and Patients so you can find success in ways that facilitate your lifestyle and bring you enjoyment in your choose Passion\/Profession.<\/p>\n
Today I want to share with you a quote that I carry around with me every day of my life in my billfold.<\/p>\n
It reminds me to make the most of EVERY-DAY and to always work, live, act, behave, think, do, execute and believe in ALL THAT IS POSSIBLE…<\/p>\n
And to never accept less than my best and my greatest potential.<\/p>\n
Did you know the #1 reason why a Dentist is attracted to me is because they feel like they are not EARNING or Practicing to their highest potential.<\/p>\n
They feel like they are worth more than they are making.<\/p>\n
They know they are capable of bigger, more complex dentistry than they are providing.<\/p>\n
They often feel stuck, even if they are successfully running a multi-million dollar practice, they feel they’ve hit a plateau. Or maybe even feel bored or burnt out with what they are doing every day.<\/p>\n
Yes, POTENTIAL is a crazy thing. It will motivate you or depress you all in the same day. If you are excited about your potential you feel energized, if you are frustrated by not reaching your potential you are often distraught and unsettled.<\/p>\n
Are you achieving Your Potential in Your Practice, with Your Patients, now?<\/p>\n
Hey, look, I\u2019m not here to judge you about WHAT YOU WANT, I only believe that if you WANT IT you should be achieving it \u2013 life is too short.<\/p>\n
So, here\u2019s the quote I think you are going to LOVE!!!<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no passion to be found in playing small \u2013 in settling for a life that is less than what you are capable of living.\u201d Nelson Mandela<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I ought to just stop typing right now and let that sink in, really deep inside of you, gosh I love it, it inspires me every day and grabs me by my soul and shakes my spirit to question reality and kick the status quo square in the ass.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s liven things up a little \u2013 I have some questions for you \u2013 and I\u2019d like you to respond\u2026yes, just hit REPLY and type your answers to these questions.<\/p>\n
I will actually read them, I promise, I want to know \u2013<\/p>\n
DO NOT OVER THINK THIS \u2013 just let it flow and feel \u2013 you are human, it\u2019s okay to have emotions, desires, wants, things that you want to share\u2026okay, so sometimes my best value to my clients is to be the Dentists Therapist.<\/p>\n
I always say everybody needs a good shrink.<\/p>\n
Seriously\u2026<\/p>\n
WHAT GETS YOU EXCITED EVERY DAY \u2013 to go \u201cto work\u201d<\/p>\n
What really motivates you?<\/p>\n
What type of Patients or Treatment would you love to do more of?<\/p>\n
If you could change any one thing about your Practice what would it be?<\/p>\n
Right now, today, what are you most excited about in your practice?<\/p>\n
What are you most frustrated with?<\/p>\n
In a perfect world, the ideal practice for you, what would you change, improve, do differently than what exist right now?<\/p>\n
If one year from today you looked back and knew that you achieve something that would make you feel proud and happy \u2013 WHAT WOULD IT BE?<\/p>\n
How about in 90-days?<\/p>\n
Tell me something interesting about yourself, outside of Dentistry?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I just love self-reflection, many people don\u2019t even know themselves because they never stopped long enough to ask important questions\u2026it should always begin with yourself \u2013 it starts at the top as they say.<\/p>\n
Thank you for playing along. It\u2019s the only way you win, to play.<\/p>\n
Last question, do you have a favorite quote or a favorite book?<\/p>\n
So, I didn\u2019t say this before but I will now, just for answering my questions, I\u2019m going to send you one of my favorite books, it\u2019s amazing, actually I think I will send you the top 3 \u2013 depends on the day which one has been the most important book I\u2019ve ever read. Just reply and answer questions to get books and gifts and goodies \u2013 now that\u2019s fun stuff\u2026try it in your office, outside the box, live it up a little, be different.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m excited to know more about you.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s that quote one more time. POST IT ON THE WALL, hand it out to the Team, talk about it \u2013 these are the topics for your Team Meetings, not that other boring stuff that doesn\u2019t motivate anyone.<\/p>\n
Have a great weekend, I\u2019ll be busy reading about you!<\/p>\n
To Your Success<\/p>\n
