“Zoom out before you zoom in. A year only works when you build it on purpose.” 
- Regan Robertson


Episode Overview

This episode gives dentists what they rarely get: a transparent walk-through of how real practice owners plan a new year. Chad shows how calendar control prevents production problems months before they happen. Maggie reveals how accountability — the honest kind — reshapes leadership and reduces stress. Regan connects both perspectives into a single, practical rhythm any dentist can follow in under one hour. By the end, you walk away with a year-building system you can start the moment the episode ends.


What This Episode Reveals

• Why most dentists “plan” the year but never actually set it
• 
How to reverse-engineer production using the right number of clinical days
• 
What to prune, adjust, or kill in your expenses before January hits
• 
Why emotional alignment matters as much as revenue
• 
How small accountability habits outperform massive goal lists
• 
Why self-awareness is a business tool, not a personality trait


What You’ll Learn

• The calendar steps that keep your schedule profitable
• 
How to run a simple year-end financial review without overwhelm
• 
How a five-item accountability card keeps leaders consistent
• 
How to choose goals that are realistic, sustainable, and meaningful
• 
Why your happiest year may not be your highest-grossing one — and why that matters


If This Sounds Familiar…

• 
You end each year tired and hope next year “feels different”
• 
Your goals fade by March
• 
You avoid looking at numbers because it feels discouraging
• 
You want more control and less chaos
• 
You want a simple system that doesn’t fall apart by spring


Next Steps

Block one quiet hour before the year ends. Print your calendar. Pick your days. Build your accountability list. This one hour determines how the next twelve months unfold. Then listen to the episode to finalize your plan.
