For Dental Practice Success

Labor Day Thoughts

Aug. 30, 2019
We celebrate LABOR but seem to try assiduously to avoid it.  We have a “BUREAU OF LABOR AND STATISTICS”, yet we find both unappealing.  YUK! Recently, I’ve seen several marketing pieces aimed at dentists that promise a more leisurely, relaxing and happier life.  One shows a picture of a beach and the other a lake.  The message is clear.  You’re

Staff, Team, or Tribe?

Aug. 20, 2019
Employees present the most challenging part of running a dental practice, or for that matter, ANY business. People are complicated and challenging. And, because dental practices also deal with people (patients) who might be in pain or under other stress, the human factor in dental practices can present significantly greater challenges than in most other businesses. Understanding the staff-team-tribe continuum

Amazonian Lessons

Aug. 12, 2019
    Amazon is opening up retail stores.  It’s a process dubbed “clicks-to-bricks”. High end retailers like Nordstrom are also closing big-ass stores and opening up small try-on shops (Nordstrom Local) with NO inventory instead.  Even big-box stores like Target are sizing down. What’s happening? Retailers have realized that American buying habits are changing. And they are adapting.  It’s actually

Stepping Up to Scale Up

Jul. 27, 2019
Stepping Up to Scale Up Everyone wants to grow. Staying the same is stagnating and in this economy if you snooze, you loose. Growing is not a luxury, its a necessity.

The Keys To Your Success – Core Competencies

Jul. 22, 2019
It has been said that having and maintaining one or 2 core competencies can be the difference between business life or death.  This concept was first developed in the 80’s by Hamel and Prahalad in their book “Competing for the Future”. A Core Competency is defined as: SOMETHING UNIQUE THAT A BUSINESS HAS, CAN, OR (for a new business) WILL DO

Thanksgiving 2018

Nov. 22, 2018
I love Thanksgiving. I think it’s a unique and quintessentially American holiday. It’s a “glass is half full”, positive celebration. It’s one national holiday that hasn’t totally degenerated into a shopping-fest. That’s tomorrow. Thanksgiving is a time to contemplate the bounty of our lives. And, regardless of where we are in our lives, as we are alive, we have much

Practice Management Burnout?

May. 07, 2018
Are you tired of the grind of running the practice? Is grinding teeth the easiest part of your day? Do you leave the office and have to have an adult beverage to wind down? Do you just want to avoid talking to some of your staff? Do you dread the “I’d like to meet with you Doc” request from your

March Madness

Mar. 19, 2018
I love this time of year.  I love college basketball.  Not just for the sport but for the life lessons it teaches. This year’s tournament didn’t disappoint and we’re only half-way through. Virginia was ranked #1 in the nation.  For that honor, it received the “easiest” road to the finals.  So, if you were a betting person, you’d have bet

The Changing Landscape of Healthcare

Feb. 19, 2018
With Cold and Flu season upon us, many have resorted to getting care at places other than the traditional Doctor’s office. Convenience and cost are 2 compelling reasons that these “Doc In The Box” clinics have become ubiquitous. There’s one in every strip mall in suburbia and on many corners in the City. Seems harmless; Go into CVS and get
