If you could send one note back to yourself before you began practicing, what would it say? Open your browser, go to dentaltown.com and click on the message boards. Who knows where I would be now if I'd opened my mind to all the possibilities earlier? What would advice would you love to give to dentists? That anything and everything is possible. Often it's our preconceived notions and thoughts that hold us back. I meet so many unhappy dentists who say they want a change, but when I ask them why they don't change they offer reasons or excuses like "It's too hard," "I don't know how" or "I'm scared to do so." Thirty years at work is a long time! Start with small changes today. Tell your assistant to lay out that instrument that you've been wanting her to. Every issue or problem that you recognize is the opportunity to steer your office toward your ideal. Solve enough issues and soon you won't have any; before you know it, your office is what you want. If you're scared or think it's too hard, reach out to someone who's done it. If someone else can do it, so can you! ■ FREE FACTS, circle 26 on card dentaltown.com \\ OCTOBER 2017 61http://www.dentaltown.com http://www.dentaltown.com
