Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Dr. Bethany Fishbein, CEO of The Power Practice and host of the Power Hour podcast. On today's episode we continue our dialogue that we started on my last appearance on the Power Hour podcast, which was around year-end planning. However, this conversation starts with the non-financial decision-making process that practice owners should be considering as they map out the direction of their practice going into the new year, specifically around the addition of treatments, therapies, and services they can provide to their patients.   Bethany shares great insights on how practice owners can start thinking about which treatment/therapies/services ODs should consider in their practice, the dangers of giving into FOMO and the bandwagon effect, how to present change to both your team as well as an associate OD you might have in the practice, and the importance of understanding the opportunity cost of these decisions. We wrap up conversation by distilling all of this down into the most important KPI (key performance indicator) that you should be tracking and reconciling a decision like this against in your practice.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center. While there, be sure to subscribe to our monthly “planning life on purpose” newsletter that's filled with tips and ideas to help you plan your life on purpose.

In this episode of The Power Hour, Bethany is joined by Sarah Dau, Vice President of Business Development for the Power Practice and Business Management Coach with over a decade of experience helping optometry practices of all sizes reach their goals and potential.   Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, Sarah sheds light on the unconscious biases that shape behaviors and decisions and discusses strategies to develop ‘positive intelligence' to recognize and conquer these internal adversaries.

Is there a formula for successfully building a specialty practice? In this episode of the Power Hour, Bethany sits down with Thanh Mai, O.D., who shares his inspiring story of building a “super-specialty” practice focused on myopia management, scleral lenses & vision therapy.     Dr. Mai is the founder of Insight Vision Center Optometry and has been involved with Treehouse Eyes scaling their myopia management business. He shares insights about building a specialty practice from scratch, and provides doctors with resources to go from “dabbling-in” specialty care to jumping right in.    His conversation with Bethany offers a unique perspective on what it takes to fight imposter syndrome, stay accountable to your own goals with realistic timelines, and find the right support to help you along the way to help you make your dreams a reality. In discussing his journey, Dr. Mai shares a formulaic approach that includes setting the vision, identifying the “how”, picking your supporting “whos”, and building systems that replicate your success.    This advice has helped him, and many other practice owners build their cash-based specialty practices. Listen in to get inspired and take action towards the practice of your dreams.

The DYOJO Podcast The Power & Practice of Questions Season 3, Episode 82 Contractors who specialize in navigating insurance claims, know that the process can be contentious. In this episode, we discuss mindsets and habits that can assist you in achieving better project outcomes. According to Merian-Webster, to negotiate means to, “Obtain or bring about by discussion.” Business is a negotiation. If you take the carrier out of the equation, you are often negotiating with your clients. Part of a successful negotiation is clearly defining the scope and expectations of the project so that you can accurately bid the cost of materials and labor. If the carrier is paying for the work, they have the right to ask whether the scope has been accurately presented and thoroughly supported. The second meaning for negotiating is to, “Find a way over or through (an obstacle or difficult path).” You can view the adjuster as your adversary, but assuming so from the get-go only gives them one option - to be adversarial. Or you can proceed with the mindset to attempt to understand their position, in light of The Claims Standard, and find a means to reach a mutually agreeable outcome. Our primary guest is Steven Patrick of Level the Playing Field. He shares several insights that help contractors develop a framework for working through the claims process. These concepts, also are applicable to instances of resistance between contractors and customer. Listening to understanding someone else's position Using questions such as, "Have you ever considered this?"

On this episode of 20/20 Money, I'm sharing with you the conversation I had with Dr. Bethany Fishbein that was originally recorded and released on the Power Hour Optometry podcast, which is the podcast hosted by The Power Practice. The Power Practice is a consultancy founded by Dr. Gary Gerber in 2003 that helps optometric practice owners achieve their most audacious business goals by creating their own definitions of success and building their practice with intention.

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Dr. Bethany Fishbein.   Bethany is the CEO of The Power Practice and she joins the show today to talk to us about how she's handled an all-too-common question, challenge, and (perceived) hurdle that many practice owners will eventually face: how do you most efficiently transfer an existing patient base from the OD practice owner to either another partner or associate in the practice. In today's conversation, Bethany shares with us what went right (and wrong) in the transition, the catalyst that caused her to make this decision, her own mental head trash that she had and how she got over it (hint: it's never as bad as we think it's going to be), and what surprised her most about the transition.   Today's quote again comes to us from Warren Buffett: “It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'd drift in that direction.”   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.

Pearl Jam -Corduroy

We have huge misunderstandings of what creativity is, and how relevant and essential it is to every sector of our society, our economy, our wellness and happiness and our families. Creativity is not just about making a painting or a piece of ‘art.' Some of the greatest thinkers and scientists have also said what the artists and sages have always known - imagination and intuition are more powerful than the intellect. It's our capacity to imagine and tune into a more expanded field of consciousness that inspires us, illuminates possibility for us, and both heals, awakens and empower us.   Yet, if you look at the over-culture we live in, wow, it's set up to keep us from this primal, innate creative power. Our schools have cut back on creativity as part of core curriculum, instead they are over-focused on memorizing and accepting conventional thought and scientific proof as the only reality.  Women's creativity is often diminished into “arts and crafts”, scrapbooking or a nice “hobby.” And most people don't see themselves as artists or artistically talented, because they can't paint or draw in a what is deemed beautiful, so they shy away from being “creative”. This and more is keeping up from the truth of how creativity lives within each of us. Distancing us from our power and potential to create different realities for ourselves and the world. And keeps us  from potent self-healing techniques that we could be using to release trauma, move through challenging emotions, and navigate these intense times.      Consider this... wisdom that emerged from this conversation and wise woman tea between myself and Shiloh Sophia McCloud, founder of the Center for Intentional Creativity (and my dear friend of almost 15 years), which we are inviting you to: "People have mixed up talent and creativity. If you think you are not talented, you think you are not creative. Which is not true. EVERYONE is creative. Creativity is the natural innate life force that exists in every person and how you chose to create it." Join us for this special "Wise Woman Tea" with Arylo and Shiloh, to top off our series of Embracing Your Power to Create the World You Wish to Live In. In our wise woman tea episodes I invite a woman who has dedicated her life to living and learning a specific wisdom tradition or lineage, and has founded and brought forth this wisdom in practical ways that can empower us in these intense and changing times.    In Episode 158 we focus on The Power & Practice of Intentional Creativity for Navigating and Thriving in Our Times we will explore:  What creativity is NOT  Embracing our creative nature and power as creators  STOPPING the rhetoric that we are not "creative" STARTING embracing our creativity as a super power that we all have and that we can use in ALL areas of our lives, professional and personal. The systemic roots of why we get disconnected from our full creative power at a young age Self-expression as essential to our wellness  How we can guide and influence others to stay connected to their creative power, even if the systems don't support it #harmonicdefiance The link between creativity and consciousness, how we think, and how our brains work Using creative process and practice to cause significant breakthroughs individually and collectively In the episode, Shiloh and I will share and talk about Intentional creative processes and physical practices that give us the power to: AWAKEN our potential and new possibility  HEAL and MOVE THROUGH challenging emotions and times RELEASE trauma from our system CONNECT with our intuition and receive wisdom and guidance CREATE SPACE for contemplating and being in conversation with the Universe and your deeper Self. Join us for the conversation and the exploration. And then take what you learn and start bringing the practice of intentional creativity into your DAILY life.  We start the Mid Year Power Pause in June and July - which is an intentional creative process. Feminine Wisdom Way is a community and wisdom school that actively uses our creative power daily to co create the world we wish to live in.  See you there! Christine  **** Wisdom Bytes: The mind can only create what it seen before. But your intuition has the power to expand possibility.   Thinking is the long way to make change. Wellness cannot be achieved through just the mind. Creativity as a practice and a process is a way through to true healing, freeing and new ways of working, living and doing things. **** Learn more about Shiloh McCloud and Musea, the Center for Intentional Creativity Website www.Musea.org Community on Facebook,  the Red Thread Cafe https://www.facebook.com/groups/redthreadcafeclassrooom/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/musea_center/ Check out Shiloh's Book: Tea with the Midnight Muse: Invocations and Inquiries for Awakening https://www.amazon.com/Tea-Midnight-Muse-Invocations-Awakening/dp/1504363167 *** GO DEEPER.

Gary shares the 6 best business decisions he ever made in private practice, The Power Practice, Treehouse Eyes, and his music career.

As a creative entrepreneur, one of the most important and impactful things you can do at the end of the year, or beginning of a new year, is to review and preview your business. But how? In this episode I share my own, powerful 3 step process for reviewing the previous year and looking ahead to the new year with clarity, intention and a plan. This practice is a game changer, because, as a creative, you step into a new year knowing exactly where you're headed. Powerful!

Asking staff answer the phone with a script is a mistake. No matter how skilled, they will sound like they’re reading from a document instead of delivering personal information. Instead, staff who take phone calls should know the practice intimately enough to respond to any calls. Find out how to train your staff to answer the phone like a human, not a robot.

This week's conversation centers around the topic of Profit, specifically why it's important to know and track your numbers. The BMS Stylist podcast continues to rank #1 in iTunes within the category of Fashion & Beauty, which speaks volumes about the massive value being delivered to an industry hungering for what Danielle K. White and her team share each week. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week's Episode.....PROFIT Point #1: Tracking Reveals the Truth Danielle: The Artist Ego is something we've all been guilty of where we brag about what an awesome week or quarter we've had, yet the actual numbers reveal a different reality. It's important to remember that tracking numbers is meant to bring awareness, not discouragement. Coach Ani: In our Mastermind classes, we have created a space where our students are very comfortable sharing their numbers in great detail, something normally viewed as a societal taboo. At the end of the day, numbers simply reveal where you are today. If you don't know where you are right now, how can you expect to move forward with a realistic goal? QUESTION: When will you retire exhaustion as a form of currency and a barometer of your success, and replace it with the proven system of tracking your numbers? Point #2: Power Practice and Daily Four Coach Val: We require our students to practice NBR every single day. Daily repetition puts you on the Fast Track to Success. Danielle: After so much repetition, the technique has become second nature for me, allowing me to concentrate on the artistic side of color and blending - one of the biggest problems I see within the industry with hair extensions. Coach Ani: We require our students to do and track four things every single day: 1. Post a picture. 2. Post a video. 3. Send an audio message to a client. 4. Write a text post. This takes time, it takes effort, and it's something you have to get into the habit of doing - and it's insanely important! It wasn't until Coach Kenzi started tracking her social media presence that her eyes were opened and showed her where she needed to make some shifts in her marketing to bring her the results she desired. QUESTION: How has being consistent in your daily repetitions and marketing changed your results? Point #3: Converting Mindsets Danielle: When using a funnel or some sort of paid promotion, if you're not a household name, your job is to convert mindset. We may lure a person in with a pretty photo, but then we use videos and written copy to share our experiences and to educate, which changes a cold lead into a warm one really fast. Coach Ani: Converting a mindset isn't about us convincing, forcing or coercing clients, rather it's about them telling themselves that they want what we have been sharing with them via a ten minute video. If you do the convincing and converting, it's buyer's remorse every single time. QUESTION: What can you change in your advertising to create a different experience for your potential clients? Point #4: Leads, Applications and Consultations A lead is someone who has said, "Yes, I want to come sit in your chair." We personally talk with every single person who applies to either sit in our chair, attend a convention or one of our trainings because we want to make sure we are a good fit and vibe for each other. Coach Val: When we read through the applications and have conversations with potential clients, we are able to get on the same page with them, creating a bond that replaces the robotic production line mentality that is so prevalent within the industry. QUESTION: What could be possible for you in your business if you began having conversations with clients ahead of time? Point #5: It's In the Details Coach Kenzie: In going through and figuring out all of the details, including how much I was making per hour, I realized that although I may have been making good money, I wasn't ever seeing my husband, and on my days off all I wanted to do was sleep and do online shopping. In everything the DKW team does, looking to keep the status quo is not one of them - whether it's requiring a deposit to hold a spot on the books, raising prices, or with some Artists choosing to not work weekends. Once you have something you can measure and track, your decisions become clearer and easier and you see how tracking your numbers affects every single choice that you make. At the end of the day, it let's you discover for yourself what is worth it and what is not. QUESTION: How much money are you really making  per hour?   Quote of the Week: "What's the point of making good money if you don't have time to build relationships with those people whom you care about; if you don't have time to experience life? People will carry out that pattern [making great money yet never seeing their loved ones] for five to ten years, and I wonder how they are going to repair that? A lot of times people break up or get divorced because it was a false relationship. It might be rough, but take a good look in the mirror." -- Danielle White "You go into your day confidently when you already know who's going to be in your chair. You've already had a conversation with them and you have established a level of trust with each other, which creates an amazing vibe and environment in which to do top quality work." -- Valerie Plunk "Go forward in your business in a place of truth and facts, where your business actually is. Look at the numbers, look at the facts and decide: Are you in a place that you're happy? Are you actually happy with the money you're making? Are you happy with the amount of time you're spending behind the chair? Are these numbers making sense to you?" --Anianne Rivera "How is it fair that every other industry raises their prices and no one bats an eye, yet for some reason we have allowed it in our industry to be okay with not raising our prices? In any other industry it's okay for a person to choose their hours, yet in our industry it's not acceptable if you don't work weekends. As Artists we've allowed that to be the norm, and it's our responsibility to change that." --McKenzi Davis     Stay Tuned for Next Week's Topic....PROTECTION

 Not only is the BMS Podcast #95 out of ALL of the podcasts inside of iTunes, it's Number ONE in Fashion and #5 in Arts, so we've noticed that the message being shared is making an impact on others. This week the BMS Team: Danielle, Garrett, Val and Ani talk about how to get beyond the slavery and bondage of being a stylist behind the chair, throwing in a little bit of a wizardry twist for safe measure behind it all. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week's Episode.....PROTECTION Point #1: Protect Your Mind From Outside Influences 60% to 70% of your success as an Artist - both behind and in front of the chair - comes down to protecting your own psychology. When you don't protect it and allow people's opinions and outside noise to influence you, there's a direct impact on your bank account. You have to have tunnel vision when it comes to the chatter and noise of others. Coach Val: I have to block out the outside noises and opinions of others because it can trickle down into everything, including what I produce behind the chair and how I feel about myself, which slows me down. I can't have that. It's super important to protect my mindset so that I can keep growing and get to where I want to be.   QUESTION: When you've allowed other people's opinions to impact or influence you about your own industry - and they're not even in the hair industry -  how does it actually affect you in the salon?  Point #2: Your Circle of Influence Matters Sometimes when you step outside of the 'acceptable' and unspoken parameters of your social or family group, people inside of these groups start questioning your actions and may even become embarrassed by you. Be willing to feel awkward in order to move forward in life, regardless of what your friends and family may think or say. After losing everything several years ago, Garrett was trying to find his voice again. In the midst of  the gossiping and 'shit talking' from close friends and family, Garrett and Danielle knew the only way they were going to pull this off and get their life back on track was to shut everyone out, which included blocking family and friends on social media and moving to another State.   QUESTION: Who is in your circle of influence?  Are they sucking the life out of you or are they assisting you in your growth? What changes do you feel called to make?    Point #3: Clearing the Path Protects Your Future There is another world that you cannot even fathom possible that exists in a different realm beyond whom you are currently giving yourself permission to be as an Artist and businessman or woman, where the excitement, abundance, experience, happiness and Purpose in your life is so much bigger. Oft times the only way for us to protect our future is to clear the path in our present moment with relationships and situations that no longer serve us. An advocate for growth and change, Coach Ani believes that you can't remain the same person. As hard as it was at the time for her to break off her long term relationship and engagement, she knew it was the right decision for her and her continued growth. She was willing to throw fucking caution to the wind and say, "Okay. I have no idea how this is going to play out, but I'm gonna fuckin' try it."   QUESTION: What hard choices are right in front of you that you need to give yourself permission to make?   Point #4: You Are Your Worst Enemy What do you do when the dark side of you wants to quit? Coach Ani remembers her WHY, she takes a step back to look at the bigger picture, and takes time to recharge herself. Val has found that by sharing her own pain and struggles with other stylists, it gives them permission to push forward, push a little harder and know they are worth making more of their lives. Danielle: It comes down to Purpose. I can't listen to those voices in my head anymore because I know how many people are impacted by what I am doing. QUESTION: What do you do when your own mind becomes your greatest enemy? What has become helpful to you as an Artist?   Point #5: Marketing is a Protection Game To protect your Empire, continual marketing is a must, whereas ceasing to market can cause the destruction of that same Empire. When you know your numbers you can go forward with an actual plan, as opposed to just throwing money away in hopes that what you want is actually going to work. Another way of protecting your business is by actually being fucking good at hair. Being an elite Artist is one of the greatest protection moves to a future building of your business and sustaining your current clients.   QUESTION: What area are you currently lacking in when it comes to marketing, knowing your numbers, or being an Elite Artist? What changes are you committed to making going forward?   Quote of the Week: "The marketing game is always changing, so you have to move with the trends. If you can figure out the marketing game and have success with whatever you're trying to promote, and have figured out that piece of the puzzle, then regardless of where the economy goes, you feel more protected because you know how to market and you know how to rebuild." -- Danielle White "You have to know how to market, but you have to have a skillset that you can deliver on a level that will keep a client coming back. Inside our Elite Mastermind, we have implemented something called Power Practice where the students have to make a commitment of practicing daily for 15 minutes. It may not seem like a lot, but what we've seen is that by doing that 15 minutes every single day, it elevates their skillset immensely. We are holding our students to a higher standard of work that is worthy of the NBR brand that Danielle created." -- Valerie Plunk "Every hard decision you [Danielle] have ever made has not just affected you, Garrett and your children - it's affected everybody. It affected Val and her marriage and family; it's affected every aspect of my life. Everything has come about because you had the strength to stand up one day, change everything about your life and say: This isn't enough. I'm doing more. I'm changing my life." --Anianne Rivera    Stay Tuned for Next Week's Topic....POWER   ____________________________ Every week you will get to hear from Danielle White, founder of Natural Beaded Rows (NBR), a revolutionary technique with hair extensions discuss Big Money Stylist (BMS) with her trainers Valerie Plunk and Anianne Rivera.

The scientests have finally proven what yogis and mystics have known for centuries - not only does taking a pause - be it sleep, meditation or a walk in nature - clear our minds and restore our bodies - it literally is what Wisdom requires if you want to run your life from Wisdom vs the collective overculture, status quo and conventional wisdom.  Yet left to our habits and patterns we will choose to fill the space, or run the outdated "i don't have time program" and then as a result focus on the wrong things, or too many things and our power gets fragmented and our lifeforce drained.  This is where using what I call the Feminine Super Power of Pause + the practice of power pausing can help in big ways.  Join Christine Arylo, women's leadership advisor and wisdom teacher, and her special guest Rachael O'Meara, author of the book Pause, for this Feminine Power Time: "Power Pauses: The Feminine Super Power Practice of Pausing":  Why we need the pause and why we fear the pause - this is deep!  How to tap into the power of the pause to make it part of your days, weeks, months and years - to increase your vitality, keep your sanity, stay focused on what matters  How to use the power pause in your career when you know you need a change or things aren't working, but you don't know how   A special pause meditation to get connected to what Wisdom is trying to communicate to you now. This episode of Feminine Power Time is #4 in the Breaking Through the Myth of Balance Series.  Subscribe on Itunes or Stitcher to tune into the others - including "The Intensity Trap" "Beyond Work Life Balance" and "The Feminine Super Power of Harmony".
