“It’s never too early to start thinking about the things that will outlive you.” ~Dr. Bruce B. Baird
I was given an unusual gift by one of the doctors who attended a PDA Productivity Workshop. It was a skull ring with the words “Memento Mori” inscribed on the inside.
For those who don’t know, “Memento Mori” is Latin for “Remember, you will die.”
Well, I can tell you that was an interesting gift to get in the middle of a conversation about productivity and dental business. But it made me stop and think.
What am I building? What am I sacrificing as I build? What really matters to me? What legacy am I leaving?
As dentists and business owners, we get so wrapped up in the process of working hard and making a living that we forget that at some point we will die. Yes, it’s important to build a business that is profitable and takes great care of patients. But that ring really made me pause and evaluate the larger picture of my life.
So today I want to share some of my journey and as you listen I want to challenge all of you to think about a few things:
- What is most important to you
- Where is your balance of business and life
- What legacy are you building, and what are you sacrificing
