Before any big game, football coaches play and replay films of the opposing team.  They learn the weak and strong points of their adversary before they even walk out on the field.  They understand that there has never been “just another game” if winning is where you plan to end up.  In that vein, let’s take a look at the assemblage of ...

As we begin this transition in earnest, I want to bullet point the foundational premises that we will be following.  We will not get into great detail, but I will give you a bit of insight now and later as we go through actually finding, measuring, and purchasing an office we will expand your understanding and the logic of where we are ...

I would have to say that there are many things I like about the Fourth of July, but my favorite is eating desserts.  For almost 35 years, we have thrown a Fourth of July get together on our farm.  We generally have a hundred or so assorted adults and kids over for the Fourth of July celebration.  While we supply all of the meat, the music, and ...

As I mentioned previously, I want to start a series of articles that will ensure you make a 400%-600% return on your money.  I have been spending some time helping dental students understand what a really good practice looks like, as well as helping recent graduates buy or start their first practice, and owner doctors reach out and buy another ...

Groundhog Day was released in 1993 staring the hilarious Bill Murray.  It was about a cynical TV weatherman who finds himself reliving the same day over and over again when he goes on location to the small town of Punxsutawney to film a report about their annual Groundhog Day.  His predicament drives him to distraction, until he sees a way of ...

Financial Arrangement Tips Along the journey, you will always run into areas that are not quite as exciting.  Perhaps, even boring.  None the less, super practices are masters of the fundamentals.  Average practices “think” they have the fundamentals down, but just never get the results of the better practices.  One of these areas is ...

Reactivation Strategies You’ve been on this journey for a while, and we want to make sure we keep in touch with everyone we left behind.  There is this subtle crack that forms within everyone’s systems.  It is these cracks that swallow up our patients in the form of losing patients, and not closely following and pursuing these lost souls in ...
