Success. We all have our own definition of it…or we can. With that, let’s call success your ability to live a self-determined future. Meaning, you choose your definition of success, and you get to wake up every day and live it.

To make that happen, you and I need three major controls. We need systems control. We need financial control and yes – dentistry – we need clinical control. If you’re savvy, the question that just popped in your head is, “that’s great – but in a world of picky patients, lousy insurance reimbursement and team turnover – how do I gain those three controls?” If you’re savvy, you’re in the right place!

We need three levers to deliver outstanding financial, systems and clinical control. We need people. Team – you’re a part of this so this course is for you too! We need process. Dentists and team – this means we need to be on the same page at all times! And – we need production. Let’s talk how to!

The magic to make it happen lies in what…or shall I say…who…comes first. What comes second and third…and how people, process and production synergistically work with each other all day, every day to improve patient outcomes. Add to that, nine essential accelerators and the core habits that fall within each, and you and I get what we’ve been searching for all along. A self-determined future – aka – epic success!

Course Objectives:

• Learn to overcome the downward insurance reimbursement spiral – better yet
• Understand how to drop insurance all-together in 10 months or less.
• Either way – grow your production 30% in 3 months.
• Develop the key Standard Operating and Clinical Operating procedures.
• Captivate and keep a top performing team. And team – if you’re in – let’s improve patient care and all make more money.
• Maximize your individual and practice value to scale – or sell.
