Dental Practice Management and Pareto’s Law

james2024-06-21T23:19:40-04:00

Dental Practice Management and Pareto's Law Pareto's Law - 20% of effort yields 80% of results. One of the biggest challenges in dental practice management is related to what we allocate time to and what the "to do" priorities are. You’ve probably been exposed to this 80/20 rule before or at least heard someone say it in casual conversation. It's highly doubtful that any consultant you've ever encountered was concerned about 80/20 as it relates to dental practice. Gordon Christensen opened my eyes to this concept in 1991 during a meeting of the International Association [...]

Dental Practice Advice-Real Problems v. Imagined Would you like some dental practice advice from a professional ? Manage your TIME ! I’m a big fan of Dan Sullivan at Strategic Coach who developed the concept of 10X thinking for entrepreneurs. Most dentists are trapped in 1X thinking in an age where 10X and even 100X is possible; even for dentists. To reset your thinking, check out some of Dan’s podcasts at www.10XTalk.com. One thing Dan says fairly often is “Your Problem isn’t the problem, the problem is that you don’t know how to think about [...]

Dental Consulting-My Story. A $6M Story. Your Story Is???? I just returned from a private client meet up for whom I offer dental consulting. It's a long term implant/premium denture/LANAP practice. 2 doctors, 2 locations. I have been dental consulting them for 5 years. 5 years ago it was one doc, doing 1 million in one practice and 1.3 in practice two. Today it's 2 million in #1, 2.5 million in #2, and it's reasonable that they'll approach a combined $6M in the next 12-18 based on the discussion and plan we just reviewed. Yes, [...]

Dental Consulting and Why many dental practice goals fall short

Dental Consulting and Why many dental practice goals fall short When considering dental consulting and how important it is to think carefully about how we spell out our goals? Because, ultimately, even in simply the way they are described and written out provide insight on what we are really looking for in life and can expect from the goal. Over the years while dental consults, dentists have told me and our program staff their goal, both short term and long term, and- Here's a very common example of goal setting: Short term: Build my practice [...]

A Dental Consultant Who was Never a Dentist???

A Dental Consultant Who was Never a Dentist??? To be a great dental consultant, it is best if the person was a dentist first. It's hard to understand what goes on in a dental practice unless you've lived it. It's one of the unique things we bring to member dentists in all of our Programs. Nearly a hundred years of direct experience in dentistry in my family and 50 years+ between my COO and I. Think about it. Do you really want a dental consultant who does not know how to perform all the clinical [...]

james2024-06-21T22:18:53-04:00

Dental Consulting-Are you in a room of people getting smarter? As part of my dental consulting to help program members, I am constantly surrounding myself with people from other industries who are like minded and the best in the business. I can learn from them and bring back what I have learned to help program members apply the new knowledge for their practices. In LA, in between my two quarterly business think tank groups. One is purely devoted to marketing, sales, and maturing a business. The other is devoted to focus on both personal and [...]
