Dentists Point Of Power

1. Ownership. 

2. Accountability. 

3. Responsibility. 

---------- Point Of Power-----------

4. Excuses. 

5. Blame. 

6. Denial. 

Rob is a coder; Rory gets us to the top of Google. 

They have put a point of power poster on the IT office wall, and between them, they have begun an amusing double act. 

Let me explain...

Whilst one is giving an update on progress, the other will point a finger to the poster highlighting when any excuses, blame or denial are being uttered, 

Whilst this is highly amusing, it is also incredibly effective as a tool for personal development, achievement, and effectiveness. 

Anything below the point, is giving our power away. 

Denial is the worst. Lying to oneself and others, will condemn us permanently. 

Blame is the destroyer of all our relationships and of course, the better we get at excuses, the worst we become at everything else. 

Everything below the point of power is easy to get away with. It is always easier to make excuses, it is always easier to place blame on something or someone else, and it sure is easier to deny all knowledge in the first place! 

Getting above the point of power is harder and ultimately what we should always strive to achieve...

Responsibility is owning our actions (response-able- able to respond). 

Accountability is owning the result - not just the actions. 

Total ownership is ultimately the goal. 

So, when it comes to life, love, work, relationships, where do you currently rank in your own point of power?

What do you need to stop doing in your life right now?

Why haven't you done it? 

Is your turnover growing faster than the government's mismanagement that is devaluing the pound?

Are all your people on a self-development growth curve?

Are you spending your lifetime doing what you want to be doing every day? 

You don't have a Rob or a Rory with you, so please point at will to yourself as you justify...

Why not? 

PS. I wanted to say thank you to the three business owners, who sold their practices through us and asked me to restart this blog. 

I would say this is for you, but it would be a lie, it is for me. Mostly, because you showed me how much cash doing this, makes the firm. 

Sincere thanks and I hope you enjoy. 

Kimberley. 

Don’t be hit with severe Dental delays

Use your dental funds wisely

Perhaps this isn’t the right time for you to donate however.

Perhaps you’re looking to create your own funds by selling your dental practice for a premium price.

Five Ways to lower your Carbon Emissions

The UK government has recently announced plans to speed up its climate change target and cut carbon emissions by 78% by 2035. 

You may be wondering how you can help with these figures…

Or whether that is possible at all. 

It is. 

Here are five ways to help you do your bit…

1: Switch to recycled disposables, such as towels and tissues. Switching to recycled disposables should be part of a larger paperless transition that moves communication and documentation into the digital sphere.

2: Use BPA-free composites. Amalgam has been criticized for a while now, due to its harmful environmental impact of mercury. When possible, use dental composites free of Bisphenol A (BPA).

3: Encourage the use of non-plastic hygiene products, such as bamboo toothbrushes.

4: Use reusable small equipment. Reduce your reliance on single-use materials and equipment by opting for more environmentally friendly alternatives.

5: Change to less toxic cleaning products. Look for biocompatible disinfectant cleaners and sprays that are free from harmful chemicals like aldehyde. 

Not only do these values need to be in place in your current Dental Surgery, they need to be in place in any future practices you intend to acquire. 

If acquiring is something you are thinking about, download our eBook The Dentist’s Practice Acquisition Checklist, now. 

It will ensure you don’t make costly mistakes when going through this tricky process.

To gain tax, or not to gain tax…

That is the question.

And one that was answered with the dreaded reveal of the Budget a few days ago…

Surprisingly, it was good news! Capital Gains tax did not increase.

Not only is it staying put for this year, but it has been frozen until 2026.

Which makes it the perfect time to acquire a Dental Surgery. 

Download our eBook five Fatal Errors made when Buying Dental Surgery now, and get the ball rolling.

You wouldn’t want to run aground in 5 years’ time when the CGT does increase, and you need to acquire a new Dental Practice just to keep afloat.

Don’t put yourself in that position.

Keep your world afloat by starting the acquiring process today.

Best wishes,

Is the end in sight for you?

It seems the government may finally have us on the road to recovery…

And on June 21^st we can all be free.         

You don’t have to be though…

With everything that’s going on in the world, it’s been hard to find reasons for hope or celebration.

But recently we’ve been flipped onto Shrove Tuesday.

Although it may seem like a small victory, I’m sure we all enjoyed flipping pancakes without a care in the world.

I enjoyed it so much I forgot about the Christian festival that follows…

Lent. 

Which got me thinking… 

What would be best to give up for forty days and nights… 

You could give up alcohol, or perhaps meat, or even your Dental practice. 

You don’t just want to give up your practice for forty days and nights though, you want to make sure you depart from the industry properly.

Our video The 2 Costly Mistakes when Selling, will advise you on the common mistakes made when going through this process, and how to avoid them.

Why wander the desert when it comes to exiting the industry? 

You can know for certain which path to take, and it will only take 10 minutes of your time.

Are you still enjoying the snow?

It seems the UK is on its third cold snap of the season.
