all of whom try to sway you to their way of thinking to feed someone else\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t find any of that misleading bs in my report.\u00a0 Instead, a detailed guide with a stage by stage structuring for your total life and practice.\u00a0 It will all be based on your future not your past; based on your preferences not someone else\u2019s; and based on your desired dentistry, team, income and pretty much anything else that is important for you to think about.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t mean you have to change the direction of your compass.\u00a0 It does mean you have to look down at it and reset it every once in a while just to make sure you are still on track to YOUR destination and moving along your journey on your own terms in a gratifying form of operation and practice ownership.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the deal\u2026 You will have record months, it\u2019s just a matter of whether or not they are happening on purpose or on accident.\u00a0 The secret to keeping the momentum going and stringing together a series of best months ever has to do with three things.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s important to know that this is what should happen, because if you have a record month in collections you should have a record month in production (as long as you are scheduling all that has been sold properly), and then that begets another month of compounding growth because you have no more room for production this month it has to go somewhere, and then as long as you keep selling you will keep winning\u2026<\/p>\n<p>1<sup>st<\/sup> \u2013 No matter how well things are going, make certain that you are staying on top of your diagnosis and case acceptance daily, by team member, by column and by type of patient and department within the practice.<\/p>\n<p>If you let these numbers slide even for a day or two then you will quickly get behind and a few days behind means a month that needs luck instead of a month that is in control.\u00a0 You can\u2019t make up time in the schedule or diagnosis in the day.\u00a0 You can have slack adjuster cases or windfall days, but you don\u2019t want to rely on them.<\/p>\n<p>2<sup>nd<\/sup> \u2013 Always ensure your new patient flow; whether half a person, one or two or three or four or whatever number is your daily target is steady and consistent.\u00a0 No matter how busy you get on the doctor\u2019s side, you never let new patients get out of balance<\/p>\n<p>3<sup>rd<\/sup> \u2013 Finally you have to celebrate and refocus.\u00a0 With every victory everyone needs to have some time to pat each other on the back and say good job.\u00a0 Then they need another rally cry for the \u2018game\u2019 that is going to be played next month, next week, tomorrow because this one is over.\u00a0 Champions move on.\u00a0 Losers dwell.<\/p>\n<p>Champions expect to set records.\u00a0 Losers are surprised and therefore savor the victory too long and that\u2019s what throws it all off course.<\/p>\n<p>In the process of winning in a great month there has to be daily focus on setting up the next month that is yet to be played.\u00a0 Celebrate the present but never stop focusing on the future, otherwise you will sandwich records with disappointments and that emotional roller coaster isn\u2019t good for anyone \u2013 especially not you.<\/p>\n<p>Hey this IS your life.\u00a0 Do your homework please, it\u2019s good for you.\u00a0 Besides, your team, patients and especially your family is depending on you to lead the way to bettering your best.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/secret\/\"><strong>Grab Your Copy of This Special Report &gt;&gt;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of course, I hear this all the time because that is what\u2019s supposed to happen.\u00a0 And this year it should be happening more than ever before for you (as it is for so many across the country).\u00a0 There are reasons for this, perhaps I\u2019ll discuss in more detail at another time.
