Joining Dentist Profits in managing my dental practices is, I can really say, the best decision that I have made in my career as a dentist. As I joined this club for managing my dental practices, I have learned a lot of important things to keep you going in your dental practices. I have also learned about the importance of teamwork in the practice. And this is something that Ed focuses specifically at their managing dental practices website!

First, I have learned to set goals and benchmarks in managing my dental practices. So, if you set goals and benchmarks to your team, you make them accountable. You also get team trainings, for example training sessions with Wendy Briggs (of Hygiene Diamonds), Continue education (C.E.), Sedation Dentistry, Implant Dentistry, and adding services like those that your practice can really explode your growth! And then there's also the power of the “mastermind”. The “Mastermind” is where dentists gather their ideas about how to go with the business successfully and how to achieve goals efficiently. And it's on the “navigator”. All you have to do is to really take in somebody else's idea, implement it in your own dental practice, steal it and then tweak it. And it's there for you and it's for free! All you have to do is just take it down so you got a system that ties these things.

And I have always learned that teamwork is really necessary in managing your dental practices... that you can never do it alone. In my case before, I tried doing things alone and gave my best to it... but it just wasn't enough. I was trying to do it all but I just can't. I realized that if you're the doctor who's trying to do the dentistry, run the practice, and do your marketing, you can't do it all by yourself... you got to hire somebody, you got to outsource some of the stuff and it will happen. So when I started to get people/staff in my practice, that's when my practice really started to take off!

In managing my dental practices, I have incentives in my office for every action. The office have developed a system to give an incentive to the office and get them moving in that direction. And it makes my job easier; I'd be moving in that direction, and I'll always be kind of pulling and holding the team back. We also have meetings and conferences. This is where you got to brainstorm and talk to other people and get their ideas, and get them into your office as well! I mean, I can't tell you how many ideas I've gotten just for a 1 minute conversation with someone saying like “Oh you need to do this. And you need to do it. Here's the information, and the number of the person you got to contact...”. And it just changes the practice's direction! Although in here you may take inch and inch of improvement, in the end it all adds up, and it starts moving the practice by leaps and bounds!

In managing your dental practices, it is also necessary to take into consideration the staff motivation and compensation. Your net profit is tied to your performance and your ability to leverage yourself. Shouldn't your staff be compensated the same way? You got to get them thinking that they're a part of this business too... and they're not just any other employee; but they have to take ownership and every action in the office as a direct effect on your ability to produce. So I tried to do that with my staff and get them really jazzed up about everything that they do. Teamwork in the business is really important as well.

So, in joining Dentist Profits in managing my dental practices, I have learned many things that can benefit me. Get your office to move in one direction, always value and go for teamwork... and achieve your goals and success in your dental practices!
