We help dentists grow their practices and achieve their dreams.
Back in October Jeff Haden wrote an article on how what you do can make you extremely likeable, but so can what you don't choose to do. When you sit down and look at your personal and professional life, your life at home vs your life in the dental practice are you paying attention to what it is that you do that make people like or dislike you?
When I sat and listened to the TV show called Mind Games and heard Darren say that its not about who you are today, its about where you go and what you are going to do about your life that I thought about all the times I hear dentists say “I just want to be a dentist and do the clinical work I was trained to do”. Is this something you find yourself saying in your dental practice?
Just how profound is company culture to a successful dental practice and can it be quantified? Let's take a look at other successful businesses to understand this further. In the restaurant fast food industry who would you define as successful? Many people would say McDonalds is the biggest and likely from a total revenue perspective it is however on average, from a per store basis, they do about 2.5 million dollars per year. This ranks McDonalds as number 3 in their industry. Number two is Krispy Crème donuts with 2.57 million dollars in revenue per average per store. Any guesses as to who is number one? With 2.58 million dollars per store Chick-Fil-A holds first place.
Grit is that 'extra something' that separates the most successful people from the rest. It's the passion, perseverance, and stamina that we must channel in order to stick with our dreams until they become a reality. (Travis Bradberry)
