The five laws of stratospheric success - Part 3

In their amazing book ‘The Go Giver' , Bob Burg and John David Mann share their five laws of stratospheric success

2. The law of influence

Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first

In the book, the central character is asked to take action toward each of the five laws within 24 hours of being introduced to them.

I am curious to know what do you do already and what more can you do to put your other people’s interests first? Other people this maybe family, friends, patients, colleagues or complete strangers anyone.

What can you do today to put someone else’s needs above your own?

I remember Mike Wise once told me about when he first set up his practice, there he was with a gorgeous surgery on Wimpole Street with outgoings that I don’t really want to think about. He opened his doors for business, and in walked his first patient, who needed a root canal treatment (RCT). Mike had already decided that even though he a is one of the finest clinicians in the UK his patients were best served by having their RCT done by a specialist endodontist.
What a dilemma Mike had a source of income to pay the bills if he did the treatment versus the belief that his patient would be best served by referring them out.
Mike put his patient’s interests first and referred the patient out.
What would you have done?

I have been following a thread on one of the dental forums about opening hours for dental practices, and shocked to realise how many practices follow the convention of 9.00 am. – 5.00 pm and closed for lunch between 1.00 and 2.00.
What could be some of the amazing possibilities and opportunities that open up to you and for you if you considered what your patient’s interests were when deciding on your opening hours?

And finally to strangers what are some of the ways in which your life could be enriched by putting other people first, whether it be by letting another driver out of a junction first, or buying a sandwich for a vagrant?

I invite you to try it and see for yourself, put someone else's interest ahead of yours.

“When all is said and done a lot more is said then done”
