If you are like most people you have probable spent the last
few weeks making plans for how you are going to make 2013 different from 2013. Most people are now
back at work and or many the disgruntlement may be setting in already because
the practice does not function as you want it to. You may remember buying your
practice or setting up your squat because you wanted to do it differently, you
wanted the patients to have a better experience, you wanted to work with
happier more highly trained and motivated staff, and you wanted a higher quality
of life, more time away from the practice, more time doing the treatments you
love and more financial security.
Many of the dentists I work with started their practices for
similar reasons and are now wondering to themselves where did it all go wrong?
Why are they working harder than ever for seemingly little
reward, why do they find it so hard to pay the bill, why don’t the patients buy
they treatment that is recommended or appreciate all the hard work that had
gone into delivering the care, why are the staff always bitching and gossiping
instead of getting on with what they should be doing?
Any of this sound familiar?
Let’s take 10-15 minutes out for a review of last year. if
you were at the beginning of 2014, twelve months from now willed with
enthusiasm, vigour and a sense of purposeful fulfilment what would have to be
true about 2013 as compared to 2012?
Or to put it another way,
What do you want more
of and what do you want less of?
Divide a piece of paper in to three columns as shown , in
the left hand column list the areas of your life that you what to change, in
the other two note down what you want more of and what do you want less of.
For example
