Some dentists don’t have a production problem.

They have an ego problem.

Big house 
Fancy zip code 
“Successful” on Instagram 

But behind the scenes?

Living paycheck to paycheck 
Panicking when a patient says no 
Mood controlled by the schedule 

Dr. Alan Stern was 30 years into practice…
and financially drowning 

One sentence changed everything...

Imagine being a seasoned dentist… and being told to downsize.

His ego hated it 
His freedom loved it 

He moved into a modest townhouse.

Cash flowed 
Stress dropped 

Treatment rejections stopped feeling like personal attacks.

The 800-pound gorilla of debt? Gone 

Now here’s the question most  avoid:

Are you chasing success… or financing an image?

Go listen to full episode of Fail Forward with Alan Stern,  because what happened after he sold the house completely changed how he practices dentistry!
