What’s the right mindset for a dentist who wants to escape an average practice?
Stop expecting fairness. Start accumulating advantages. The realities of practice are not fair. Insurance reimbursement, education debt, supply costs, demographic shifts, marketing complexity, all of it pressures the average dentist toward mediocrity. The only useful response is to acquire advantages over time that reduce those pressures’ impact on you personally. Read. Train. Test. Build internal systems competitors lack. Develop a category of one. Build a big-case annuity. Hire well and train regularly. None of this is glamorous. All of it compounds. The dentists who win do so not because they were luckier or smarter, but because they kept accumulating advantages year after year while their peers kept hoping the profession would feel fairer.
If the answers you are finding here resonate with you, my team and I work with a small group of clients each year. The next step is a complimentary Discovery Consultation and Practice Review with Dr. McAnally.
