5 Things to Remember if You Want to be SUCCESSFUL

By:  Angela M. Henke

1.  Make Long Term Goals

Setting your daily and monthly schedule will contribute to your long terms goals.  Small continuous improvements every day will make the largest difference overtime.

2.  Give up Making Excuses
Successful people know what their responsibilities are every day, every week and every month.  Sometimes this means asking others for help so you do not fall behind in your responsibilities – do not make excuses.  Learn from your failures.  Knowing your weakness is part of your success. 

3.  Say Good-Bye to the Need to Control Everything
Controlling everything is not necessary nor is it productive.  Do your best to make situations better but also realize when it is out of your control.  What you can control in every situation is your emotions and your attitude, even if that means stepping away for a period of time. 
“Some things are up to us, and some things are not up to us.” - Epictetus

4.  Learn to Say NO
Successful people understand that they cannot say yes to everything or everyone.  There will be times saying NO is in your best interest.  Learn to pick and choose the activities that will grow you personally and professionally.  Sacrifice short-term for the big picture. 

5.  You Will NOT Always be Liked
Not every person is a fit for every personality at a practice or in a company.  Learn to always put the best person forward even if sometimes that may not be you.  Think of yourself as a market niche.  There will be some people who like that niche, who need that niche, and there will be others that do not like it or need it.  Remember it is not personal; it is business and you cannot please everyone. 

Remain true to yourself personally and professionally.

What is preventing your Success?

Are you finding yourself asking why you are not as successful as you want to be?  

The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is the reaction to what happens around them.  Successful people are always moving forward, prepared for any action.  Unsuccessful people have no plan and simply react to the circumstances around them. 

• Take full personal responsibly-no more excuses
• Identify what you want to accomplish and write down the steps it would take to get “there.”
• Surround yourself with successful people in successful environments and eliminate distractions.
• Become accountable to a trusted adviser to ensure you finish what you start.

What is your plan?  Be excited as you enjoy the journey of success!

Are you Hiring Smart??

Are you hiring Smart?

 

How is your hiring process going?  Are you finding the best of the best to work for your dental office? It is true the war for talent is getting more challenging, but who are you attracting?

Your initial job posting will express your culture.  For instance, if you are a fun office and want to add a positive person with a high sense of humor, make sure to use words that contain high energy and fun!  If you want to attract a dental hygienist with a strong interest in professional growth and adding new patient treatment options; offer continuing education reimbursements and incentives.

 

In the words of Steve Jobs, “It doesn’t make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.”
