Good News Ever thought about how to make each day outstanding? Here's a simple trick I use to focus on the positive and make every day count. When people ask how your day is going, most say "not bad." When somebody asks me how my day is going, I always make it a point to say, "Tell me something good that's happened to you today," whether I'm meeting someone at the dental office or greeting a patient. I never say "how are you" because I just want to know what's good. It's almost like an illegal question to ask "how are you." I never answer that question in the first place. When somebody asks me how my day is, I always say one word: outstanding. So, how was your day today? Today was a sandwich day. Oh, what does that mean? We started the day walking, we finished the day walking, and all in between was solid good stuff. Production, learning, family time—all done in the middle of the day. So, I call that a sandwich day. Wonderful, so enough about me, how was your day today? Write in the comments. If you'd like to receive our upcoming New York Times Best Seller "52 Business Hacks," DM me your cell phone number.

What's Good Today Ever thought of asking people for good news instead of the usual ' How are you?' Here's why it works. When people ask, "How's your day going?" Most say, "Not bad." But what do you say? I always make it a point to ask, "Tell me something good that's happened to you today." Whether I'm at the dental office or saying hello to a patient, I ask, "What's the good news?" I never ask, "How are you?" I just want to know what's good. When someone asks me, "How's your day going?" I always say, "Outstanding." So, how was my day today? Today was a sandwich day. What does that mean? We started the day walking, we finished the day walking, and all in between was solid, good stuff. Good production, good learning, good family time. Got it all done in the middle of the day. That's what I call a sandwich day. Wonderful. So, enough about us, how was your day today? Write in the comments.

While waiting to see the dentist, it got me thinking… When people face problems, they feel alone. What if ________________ … things don’t work out? … something goes wrong? … I’ll regret this decision? … I can’t be helped? There’s a tug-a-war between hope and fear. And fear usually wins. It doesn’t feel good. So people try to avoid thinking about it. Then the door shuts and they’re stuck. If we want to help more people, we need to meet them where they are. THIS IS WHERE THEY ARE! Most people are not looking for your perfect solution first. But when we create marketing and sales experiences that appreciate the emotions and thoughts holding our prospects back, they don’t feel alone anymore. Fear begins to fade. The problem looks smaller. Hope and confidence grows. They start feeling better. And the one who best understands them and helped them feel better… is first in line to serve them.

I look forward to going to the dentist 🦷 🪥 …more specially my awesome dentist. I just broke a 4 year gap in teeth cleanings. I was avoiding the hassle of selecting new in network providers when you change companies. More than that, my last two selections had included sales-y pushes for additional services or uncomfortable appointments with overspray mishaps and tools that were entirely too high pitched to be inside my head. So I said ‘nope’ to the search, and went back to my family dentist after relocating, knowing she does not take insurance. Why? Because she is doing a lot of things that make me feel like a customer, and not just a patient: - respects my time: I am never in the waiting room more than a few minutes. Paperwork is minimal, and they do the follow up - makes it personal: greets me by recalling our last run in at a beer festival, and asks for updates on my family members, by name - advises appropriately: does not overstress the potential improvement to my flossing habits, nor try to sell whitening or corrective alignment - makes an experience: sometimes I get to pick the music, not just the fluoride flavor and potentially even get the massage chair It takes a lot of behind the scenes work to make that all happen, but that’s the investment in healthcare I am always working to actualize. If you are too, we should chat. #patientexperience #nomorepatience

While I'm waiting for the sensation in my face to return, I figured it's the perfect time for another dentist-inspired LinkedIn post. Lying back in the dentist's chair dreading the two fillings I was supposed to get, something unexpected happened. After a closer look, my dentist realised I only needed one filling and told me right away. Throughout the procedure, she kept me fully aware of each step she was taking, which greatly helped with the nerves (mine, not hers). Ultimately, I walked out paying less than anticipated, with a much more positive experience than expected, and a slightly numb face. So, here's a thought: Do you charge your customers just to boost the bill, even if they don't need everything you planned on? Do you keep them informed every step of the way? How do you make your customers feel before, during and after they interact with your business? When's the last time you asked yourself these questions?

Who loves the dentist? Not me. Maybe not you either. When I asked my dentist this morning what percentage of people reschedule their appointment, without missing a beat, "25% ... That's after 3 reminders Some cancel and don't come back until they're in enough pain." That was me. I gave myself two permissable reschedules, delaying as long as I could. Then I forced myself to go on the third scheduled appointment. Deferring the inevitable. (sound familiar when it comes your job search?) Anticipating how has to suck?  But my disdain for the dentist is no longer the case. That has less to do with me. And everything to do with them. This practice Their humor Their care Their hugs Their office culture The little things (like having ear buds when I forgot mine to block out the drill) The consideration of my time And efficiency in which they conduct their business Even when I paid the $1175 I was ok that insurance only partially covered my new crown. I love it here. I told them, never in my life did I not mind being at the dentist. You see, They know people hate the dentist. So they go above and beyond to make what was once dreaded, an experience that gets it done with far less hell. I can't change the market I can't stop ghosting I can't put a halt on reorgs, or the masses being let go. What I can do is help remove the root canal in your job search. So when you land, it's about alignment not decay. It's with a big grin vs. filling a hole.

Me, sagely? Nah. He thought I was going to say something wisdomly. Or profound like ‘this is more than just a way of life or breathing’. But what I did say when I had a catch up with a dentist friend of mine made absolute sense. He asked why I still train a fair bit, 4 to 5 times a week even though I’ve retired from competing and less need to push the intensities I used to do. Also includes: Staying active and healthy. That training has been part of over half my life now. A way to decompress after busy work days. It helps my clients. Being able to walk my talk. To demonstrate exercises and movements where necessary without having to resort to a generic video or wobbling around, getting flustered trying not to hash up an attempt. Because there wasn't enough detail. To be able to see the movement in real time being done by the practitioner lets them know what is required and that this is possible. Same reasons why my friend has perfect teeth and a gleaming, white smile… If your dentist has hideous teeth? You'd reconsider them looking after your teeth. Although movement is largely the same, each individual has variances and their own causes and compensation patterns are unique. Being able to take these nuances into account and be able to demonstrate the movements improves compliance and trust with the work. The higher these are, the faster you're going to get better. That's the main goal, cos why would you want to string out staying in pain?

A better practice and life outside of it is possible, our clients are proof. 🩷 Some see dentistry as just a lifestyle supplement. They're more focused on their next vacation than their next patient.

Or are you just chasing the next paycheck? There's no judgment here, but there is a choice. And that choice defines everything: your practice, your patients, and ultimately, your life satisfaction. It's time to build a practice you love that loves you back...one where passion and profit coexist beautifully. 🤝 Get in touch with us now. Let's create a practice that fulfills your purpose AND your pocketbook. 👏
