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. Marilee and I chat about how you can create a clear plan with a flexible approach to have several different paths to get to where you are going with your practice goals and future achievements! This past Monday, we had a soft open, and I talked to patients and staff alike about the activities they have been engaging in since COVID-19 lockdown, and I found their stories very intriguing and interesting. From cooking home-cooked meals to spending more time with family and significant others, I've found that others are really enjoying this newfound time spent together. Many are also enjoying the lack of peripheral noise in their lives. With this new simplistic lifestyle, people are pairing their lives down to the things which have meaning. Along with this new view, we are reflecting and realizing that many of the activities which we were doing before the outbreak didn't add to the quality of our lives. After the perceived crisis, we recognize the opportunity which sits out in the universe. This opportunity is also seeking you as you find the opportunity. The time we had available post-pandemic became apparent, and my planning was focused on how I'm going to create an exceptional experience for my patients when we re-open. I now have an entire notebook focused on this reflection. Listen in to find out why people are becoming more connected, why it's important to know what your destination is in your practice, and how you can be flexible in your approach. Learn why you need to know your why, why you need to be more flexible with your plans, but to be firm with your commitments, and how simplicity can be sophisticated.
