Episode 158 - The 2 Attitudes That Hold Dentists Back

Episode 158 - The 2 Attitudes That Hold Dentists Back

I’ve never understood people who don’t want help. If you’re struggling with something, it makes sense to reach out to people who have successfully handled what you’re having problems with.” ~Dr. Bruce B. Baird

There’s nothing wrong with being ignorant. All it means is that you don’t know everything. 

The arrogance, well that’s another problem. Being arrogant means you don’t want to listen to anyone else. In combination, arrogance and ignorance ruin more dental practices than just about anything else. 

The problem is there are a lot of us out there who think that because we’re dentists we know everything or can figure it out for ourselves because we’re intelligent people.

If we were just talking about you, well you’re entitled to make those choices for yourself but when you have a business, team, and patients to take care of, it’s not just you your decisions affect. There’s much more at stake.

In my career, I reached out to many successful people for help and here’s the thing, by listening to them I expanded my thought process and I got better results. 

I’m committed to helping independent dentists like you reduce your stress and build a business that allows you to do the work you love. So I challenge you to join me today for a discussion about:

        
  • The cost of being arrogant 
  •     
  • What mindset you should have when viewing your dental practice
  •     
  • Ideas for finding the right mentors and coaches
