On today's episode, we continue our Part 2 of our discussion with Troy Eckard on the Dentalpreneur podcast! In this episode, we delve into a non-windfall case study, which will resonate with many listeners who haven't experienced a significant liquidation event but are still earning substantial incomes. We discuss the scenario of a dental professional making a million dollars a year without a windfall in sight. Troy uses his own experience to illustrate how to strategically allocate free cash flow above basic living expenses. For instance, with a gross income of a million dollars and $300,000 covering fundamental needs, the remaining $700,000 can be wisely invested. Troy explains the benefits of putting a portion into drilling investments to save on taxes while diversifying into various asset classes for growth and security. Troy emphasizes the value of mineral rights as an investment, especially in today's market where technological advancements have reduced risks. He shares examples of partners who have successfully built their portfolios by reinvesting dividends and acquiring more mineral assets over time. These investments provide long-term, compounding income, making them ideal for professionals looking to build a substantial nest egg for retirement. We also touch on the unique advantages of mineral rights, including the lack of holding costs and liabilities, and the consistent demand for oil and gas. Troy explains how strategic investments in minerals can offer a high return with minimal risk, leveraging the stability and growth of the oil and gas industry. Finally, we explore what to do if you suddenly realize mid-year that you owe a significant tax bill. Troy advises on the importance of finding secure, tax-deductible investments to offset liabilities and create long-term income. He stresses the need to work with reputable partners and diversify investments to mitigate risks. Troy's insights highlight the importance of smart investment strategies tailored to individual financial situations, whether dealing with windfalls or substantial annual incomes.

On today's episode, we have a captivating interview with Alison Farber on Method Procurement Technologies' podcast. Mark shares his inspiring and unconventional journey into dentistry. Early in life, a sports injury thrust him into the dental world as a patient, leaving him in awe of the dental professionals who meticulously repaired his teeth. This experience ignited his passion for dentistry, despite the challenges posed by dyslexia and academic struggles. Undeterred, he worked diligently to overcome 20 dental school rejections before finally gaining acceptance to Marquette University. Drawing on his family's entrepreneurial spirit, Mark pursued an MBA while launching his first business—a catering truck. After graduation, he embraced a rigorous associate position at a Medicaid clinic, refining his clinical skills through intense practice. During that time, he diligently learned the intricacies of practice management by shadowing the office manager, which laid the groundwork for his entrepreneurial success. Mark's journey culminated in the creation of Dental Success Institute (DSI), a consultancy founded in 2012 after a well-received live event. Over the years, DSI grew from an initial 11 members to over 230, boasting a team of 20 coaches who are successful dentists themselves. Utilizing a unique belt system akin to martial arts, the organization encourages practitioners to hone their skills and build efficient, profitable practices. In 2015, the Dentalpreneur podcast further expanded DSI's reach. As the fourth-ever dental podcast, it now boasts over 2,000 episodes, reaching a global audience in 151 countries. Mark emphasizes that business education remains a crucial yet overlooked component in dental school, highlighting DSI's role in filling this gap. By sharing his vast knowledge and mistakes made along the way, Mark fosters a supportive community where dentists of all levels collaborate and share best practices. This engaging conversation captures Mark's unwavering dedication to helping dental practitioners navigate the complexities of practice management and business growth. Through DSI's masterminds and live events, Mark's vision remains clear: to empower dentists to scale their practices, whether from a modest startup to a multi-location enterprise or a mega practice.
