“I absolutely believe that people, unless coached, never reach their maximum capabilities.”
Bob Nardelli
President and CEO of Home Depot
There’s significant power in the unseen moment. The world-class performance of an athlete, musician, or vocalist is the result of countless hours of behind-the-scenes training…out of the spotlight…off the field.
Your success as a dentrepreneur® is no different. The difference for the world-class in any profession of necessity includes coaching.
The secret of your success
If you want to be a successful dentrepreneur® or desire to accelerate your current dentrepreneurial success it’s time to secure the services of a coach.
According to Jack Canfield, “A coach will help you clarify your vision and goals, support you through your fears, keep you focused, confront your unconscious behaviors and odd patterns, expect you to do your best, help you live by your values, show you how to earn more while working less, and keep you focused on your core genius.” (Source: The Success Principles - How to Get from Where Your Are to Where You Want to Be, p304.)

The Unseen Values of Coaching That Guide You Along the Charted Path to Dentrepreneurial Success
Vision and Goals
Having a vision and setting goals is challenging. Vision leaks and goals become fuzzy.
Elapsed time, a bit of success here and there and along the way can lure you into a false sense of accomplishment. While you’re basking in your most recent windfall your vision is losing its edge.
Consistent course corrections are vital to your dentrepreneurial success. And often you’re too vested or busy to notice what an outside, over-the-shoulder source of inspiration can see.
A coach recalibrates your vision. They help you find that true-north compass bearing that you earlier charted your course to reach.
Your coach filters your progress toward your goals. They set measurables and outline the process so you can focus your attention and energy on the achieving them.
Fear Management
Anything worth doing will stretch your capacity. What you might not realize is that feeling the fear is often an indication that you’re nearing a breakthrough.
Alone and without support you’ll naturally circle-the-wagons or duck and run. The breakthrough you could have achieved had you pushed through will vanish.
Your coach gives you the needed feel-the-fear-and-do-it-anyway nudge. They see the thing in the dark you fear as the mere shadow it actually is.
A coach helps you accept the fact that fear accompanies any endeavor worth doing. Managing your fear by channeling your emotions into action is a priceless benefit of the coaching relationship.
Focused Effort
Dentrepreneurship will introduce you to shiny objects of every shape and size. It’s natural to see more opportunity than you once did as you chart your new path.
But not all opportunity is well-timed. How do you know the difference?
Being too close to the ground within your dental enterprise can skew your perspective. What’s good to do isn’t always what’s right to do in the particular season you’re in.
Your coach flies at a bit higher altitude. They can see what you cannot and bring focus back to your efforts. TWEET THIS
As a dentrepreneur® your focused effort is a vital part of staying on pace for growing your enterprise. Your coach will help you avoid missteps and guide you through the lessons learned from each failure along the way.
Confrontational Improvement
Patronizing, feel-good talk isn’t the breakfast of champions. This isn’t to imply that an encouraging word doesn’t have a place.
To the contrary, encouragement and inspiration is a given. But it’s not the only language of success.
Your dentrepreneurial success is more defined by those conversations that uncover and challenge the status quo. Meaningful, engaging confrontation improves you and your processes.
A coach will measure their confrontational moments according to your need for improvement. Expect it; even welcome it and its edge will sharpen you not cut you.
Core Preservation
It’s easy to forget who you are as you chart your path through dentrepreneurship. You are effective at some things and not so effective at others.
Being accustomed to providing general services to your patients can dull your business mindset. And the reverse is true as well - your business acumen can overtake your dental care-giver skills.
Your coach can enable you to preserve each core responsibility. The beauty of being a dentrepreneur® is your ability to create new venues where your clinical expertise perfectly meshes with your entrepreneurial mindset.
