What are your distractions? The ballgame last night, the fun stuff you did over the weekend? All of this can be fun yet can also at the same time be distracting. Distracting to your job, to your life and to your day to day tasks.

How does your mindset impact things? When addressing the exit of Medicaid and PPO's out of your practice, are you prepared, at least initially, to have holes in your schedule? Although this sounds scary, offices that exit these discounted programs slowdown in the beginning yet they build production in a very short period of time. The instant gratification will not come when you choose to get off Medicaid. Your schedule will be slower. Are you prepared for this?
So, you've got a dental coach, but now what? Your dental team is excited to start implementing, you're excited to see the increase in production, cashflow and hygiene, but where do you start? How do you use your dental coach to help improve your life and business? To start, maybe think about the way you seek out results.
Have you ever thought about the life transforming potential you have when treating your dental patients? When was the last time you treated a person who previously covered their mouth when they talked to you? After the transformation you did for them, did you see how differently they presented themselves? Do you even notice that you've transformed them and have changed their life? You transform people's lives! How often do you celebrate this with your dental team? Are you seeking to transform lives or do you just go to work?
It's one thing to go to work to make a profit. Everyone in business must have this or their business will not survive. When was the last time you did a charity case? A real all out don't charge case? If you are seeking fulfillment in your work, career or just your daily routine, try this.
How many of you doctors feel you have to internally market your dental practice? This is the most common thing we hear; Market Market Market… Get new dental patients in. Most office we see have on the average 50% of their patients overdue for their recall appointments. It makes no sense to market new patients when you have a ton of patients already in your patient base you just need to call. This can be overdue recalls or reactivation calls. Either way, this is a much more cost effective way to internally market than spending money for new patients.
