Dear Dental Colleague,
I remember a time in my dental practice where I felt stuck.
I was sleepwalking, just going by the checklist I had been handed, crossing off all the things I was supposed to do that I learned in dental school and CE courses.
As a result I just getting by, just making overhead, and just having a little left over.
I even turned to coaching and consulting programs to help improve my management style, marketing, processes – doing everything I could to improve my practice. I thought it was the right thing to do. However, I don’t believe I found the short or long-term results I was searching for in those programs.
In retrospect, it wasn’t the programs, or the coach, or the consultant that stopped me from reaching my desired outcome.
See, the problem was me.
It was my self-limiting beliefs stopping me.
And the truth of the matter is that I had been brainwashed from my early years of school, higher education, and dental school.
That’s right. I’d been programmed to lack confidence and live in doubt and fear of failure.
Self-limiting beliefs like the ones I had lead to self-sabotage and this prevents us from achieving the momentum we need to live up to our potential in our practices, and in our lives.
Has this ever happened to you?
The mentality of our culture is work. At some point, we’ve equated success with hard work. We’ve seen it in our parents and our peers.
However – being a workhorse rarely leads to the happiness and lifestyle we’re after – rather we’re stuck in the prisons we create for ourselves.
Don’t get me wrong – there is absolutely nothing wrong with working hard, and it’s certainly necessary.
But our self-limiting beliefs stop us from realizing that there is another way to achieve our lifestyle, financial, and freedom goals beyond killing ourselves in our jobs trading hours for dollars.
That’s where leverage comes in.
If there is a “secret key to success,” it’s being able to leverage other people’s talents, time, money, education, and resources for a mutual benefit.
This is how real wealth, time and lifestyle freedom is created.
Once I pushed past the belief that everything must be done the traditional way, the doors opened for me to a whole new way of thinking, living, and achieving financial and lifestyle freedom.
I didn’t make this discovery on my own.
My breakthroughs happened inside a mastermind - because in this environment I can surround myself around people who are open-minded, supportive and who have been down the path that I want to be on.
A mastermind group is made up of good people who care about you and your success. In this community you build trust and solid relationships that help you get answers to the tough questions in your business and life.
From this community you can shortcut your time and effort to create results faster than you ever thought possible. You can finally cut through the self-limiting beliefs, doubt and fear that are stopping you in your tracks.
When I speak with dentists I often hear, “I’ve already invested a fortune in coaching and management programs that never get results.”
It’s time to quit blaming others.
If you aren’t where you want to be right now, then look inside yourself and ask yourself the question, “What are the resources and who are the people I need in my life right now to take me to the level of success I know I deserve?”
Once you figure out that answer, everything will change for you. Your outlook on life will change. You’ll start seeing success in areas of life and business where you’ve never thought possible.
Is it fear holding you back?
Action kills fear.
Take the small step and make that shift in your life to gain security for yourself, your family, and your future.
Do it now.
