Business
This is the Think BIG Dentistry Show where your hosts Dr. John and Marilee Sears, will show you how to give your indecision and confusion a back seat to decisive, goal-driven decisions to move you forward. Where we will break out of the mundane and routine, ordinary biases and ideas about running a dental practice and propel you and your practice into profit! We'll give you systems and strategies to create a successful practice along with the freedom to live your most powerful life. Today we talk about the critical components of business success. When I’m talking to patients to find out who they are, the first thing that comes to me is the ability or inability to have difficult conversations. If someone is engaging in these types of conversations, the more successful their practice. Finding out where you are too comfortable is a space where you may not have grown. Courageous conversations need to happen to gloss over the essential elements of our practice and our lives. Where we are willing to be uncomfortable in discussions will impact every area of your life. The quality of our life is correlated to the amount of discomfort we feel when we allow ourselves to move forward and experience all that life has to offer. Communication = relationship - to communicate, you have to be courageous, fierce, and persistent with yourself. Listen in to find out why we have a moral obligation to our patients to ask them questions, why we should focus on how others see themselves, and how we can be successful on paper but not be truly successful. Learn why it's crucial to have your staff as part of the decision-making process and why you need to shift your mental thinking to advocacy when discussing.
