You're stuck in the endless loop of "I'm not ready yet." You keep adding certifications, reading more books, and waiting for that magical moment when you'll finally feel confident enough to start your practice or raise your rates. Here's the thing nobody tells you about that confidence you're waiting for: it's not coming. At least not in the way you think it will. Because confidence isn't something you acquire and then use - it's something you build through action. But there's something even more powerful than confidence that successful dietitians use to navigate uncertainty, connect with clients, and build thriving practices. What if the very thing you think is holding you back, not knowing enough, not feeling ready, is actually your greatest business asset? What if curiosity, not confidence, is the secret weapon that transforms fear into freedom and doubt into discovery? WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE In this episode, I'm sharing why curiosity beats confidence every time when it comes to building a successful nutrition practice. This is for dietitians who are tired of waiting to feel "ready" and want to start taking action from a place of genuine engagement rather than manufactured confidence. Here's the breakdown: Why the confidence trap keeps you stuck in analysis paralysis and how to break free The neuroscience behind why curiosity and fear can't coexist (and how to use this to your advantage) How leading with curiosity makes you magnetic to ideal clients instead of trying to prove your expertise Three specific practices to cultivate curiosity in your business and client interactions Why curious dietitians naturally develop authentic confidence that doesn't depend on knowing all the answers The ripple effect of curiosity on your pricing, boundaries, and client attraction RESOURCES & LINKS Free Resource: The Private Practice Foundations Blueprint Related Episodes: Episode 205: Curiosity Episode 223: Resiliency CONNECT & TAKE ACTION Find Christine: Email: christine@manipuracentre.co Podcast: Make More Money as a Dietitian on Apple Podcasts | Spotify Community: Join 1200+ dietitians in The Make More Money as a Dietitian Community Instagram: @money.mindset.dietitian Website: manipuracentre.co Your Next Steps: Step 1: Get Curious & Take Action Pick one area where you've been waiting for confidence and ask: "What would I try if I were curious instead of scared?"

(14:21)In this episode we are talking about a pivotal moment that truly shaped my journey toward becoming the CEO of my practice, shifting my focus from the exam room to coaching staff and growing the business.

In this powerful and validating episode, host Christa Gurka dives into a topic many business owners feel but rarely name: the invisible emotional labor that comes with leadership. From managing team morale to handling client dissatisfaction, making decisions, and being the emotional safety net for everyone - women business owners often carry an unseen weight that leads to burnout, resentment, and stress.Christa shares her own experiences and offers a compassionate but practical framework for recognizing and addressing this emotional toll.

When it comes to owning and operating multiple dental practices, not everything runs the same. That's a common surprise for those overseeing multiple practices. In this episode, Tiff and Britt discuss where practices often fall short in keeping things running smoothly across all offices, and how to set yourself up for success. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Join Dental A-Team Consulting Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:01.134) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. I am back today with, I've got a new nickname, brilliant brain Britt, triple B, brilliant brain Britt. I like it. I'm back here for some fun business talk today. are working hard, Britt and I, I hold her business brain for a few different podcasts today and we're working hard to make sure you guys that you've just got some really, really successful business tips and tools early on in the year. Britt (00:09.18) I'm going get some The Dental A Team (00:28.014) going to be all year long that you're getting business tips. Like always, we love the business side of dentistry because we really, really want your business to work for you, not you work for your business. So we work really hard with all of our clients and all of you listeners to make sure that you have the tips for success there. But today I've pulled Britt on a few different items. We just got done chatting some about really starting your 2025 off right, which was a little bit of a review of how to end Q4 and get prepped for 2025. but I wanted you guys to have all of those goodies. So if you haven't listened to that yet, you don't have to do it before today. Listen to today, but they can go backwards and listen to that one as well. Today though, Britt, you have, this in your background. Like this is something that you've done. We've both had our hands in it, but you have like honestly and truly just managed multiple practices and really helped set them up for success. You've done transitions, like you've done it all. So I really wanted to bring you on today to pick your brain on some of the pieces that. are super important and paramount in learning, maybe prior to would probably be, you know, helpful, but a lot of us are not in that situation. A lot of, a lot of doctors listening today already own multiple locations. And so really knowing what they can do and what they can learn and what they should be looking out for is kind of what I'm interested in today for multi-practices. Before we pop in though, how are you today? How is, how's Britt's beautiful brain doing? Britt (01:53.724) It's doing good today. It's it's not too early. Britt's brain super early is not always the best. I gotta have a little time to warm up with the day. That's that's how I work or late nights. That's that's my brain time really. So everybody works a little different, but I'm good. It's not too early. I get to sit here and chat with you about I don't know this kind of stuff is fun. Growth is fun. Different ideas are fun, so it's going to be a good time. The Dental A Team (02:18.394) I agree. I agree. And your brain just works like this, like numbers, the black and white of it all. Like I've given you kudos before, know, you do really well at seeing the gray too and working through the gray to find the black and white, which I think in business is incredibly, incredibly paramount to success. Working with people is not always the easiest thing in the world. I tell all of my doctors and my office managers that the hardest part about your job is going to be managing the people. But you do really well with it because of that aspect. So I think it's really, really important to say that now because I think doctors listening and managers listening, whomever business owners are listening, that's a space for you to learn to utilize that black and white data, but to bring in that personal side and to bring in that emotional side without letting the emotions take over the results, I guess. so, Britt, that's something I really want to pick your brain on, but From the tactical standpoint, what are a few things going into multi-practice ownership, or maybe they already own, right, but hopefully going into, what are some key pieces that they should really be prepped for, looking for, tracking, to know that they're on the path for success for both of them, and what should those look like? Should they be the same? What's the easiest way to go about this when you're taking on a new practice? Britt (03:43.098) Yeah, number one thing is have a practice, have your flagship running really well and strong systems in your flagship before you start taking on another one is the ideal way to do it, right? Learn how to manage what is one location before you start multiplying that stress or management of all the locations. And with multiples, it's a different mindset. And I think that's where The Dental A Team (04:01.624) I agree. Britt (04:09.562) We work with a lot of private practice and even multiples that are private practice and people that are like maybe even transitioning to DSO because it's one of those scenarios to where like the same thing doesn't work for everyone. So that's, do a lot with our practices that are custom and it's like, all right, where are we going? What are we doing? What's it going to look like? What's the feel you want behind it? And when you start, when you know that you want to potentially even go multiples and you're starting with one location, I want you to put like the multiple brain on. The Dental A Team (04:21.478) Yeah. Britt (04:38.192) We don't have them yet, but we want to start building things to where there are systems that can easily be transitioned into multiples. What I mean by that is, yes, there are going to be some steady things that are like, great, the way we do AR and send statements is going to be the same way we send statements all across all locations. The way we budget for supplies is going to be the same way we budget for supplies across all locations. But make sure you're keeping things really clean bookwise and especially at The Dental A Team (04:45.956) Yeah. The Dental A Team (05:07.051) Mm-hmm. Britt (05:07.356) when you start getting into multiples and thinking bigger. So for example, let's say, great, now we've got a couple locations, great, we can share resources. shoot, we ran out of something. Great, go grab some from the other location. You wanna track all those things and pay it from the appropriate business so that each business independently is going to look like the reality and the numbers will be the reality and it's not getting mucked up by the other. And so you actually know how to, one, drive each individual practice, and then two, know like, all right, when we pull those numbers together, what does the organization look like with all offices together? So it's a little bit of a different mindset when you're doing all the pieces. So great, accounting-wise, that's gonna be one piece that you wanna think of. Hiring team members even, great, what's our onboarding? It's not just gonna be one location, we're gonna be working towards more, so we wanna have a strong system. The Dental A Team (05:45.157) Okay. Britt (06:04.024) Systems awesome what things can be easily translated across all offices and then where is that great to where each office has a little bit of room for their interpretation on specific things and especially if you're wanting to Let's say I know some that they've got like a PPO practice and then a fee-for-service practice If you know that's the direction you want to go then all right create systems that can work for both And then we just customize some pieces of it based on the location So big things I think are accounting, planning systems for multiple locations, and also leadership and mindset. Going from a team that's at one location and they think that's what it is, teams get scared of change. so prepping the team or getting them on board that like, this is the direction we're going. This is what we ultimately want. So they're on board to help. And when you get that next location, they... The Dental A Team (06:32.997) Mm-hmm. Britt (06:58.46) even though it may not really even impact them, but they get scared. What does that mean for us? What are we gonna look like? How's the culture gonna change? All those pieces. So those are some of my most important ones is just thinking multiples, even if you're only a one to start with, and that's the direction you wanna go. The Dental A Team (07:15.827) Totally agree. Yeah, I have a few practices, a few practice owners that I've chatted with that they're like, okay, so like, I'm just going to open a second location and restart. I'm going to try again. And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I totally understand that. But it's kind of like, we're driving our car and like the wheels, you know, are a little looser or they need air, the tires are like something like, you know, mechanically is just not right. And we're like, scrap it, or just, I'll keep this car and I'll keep paying for it, but I'm just gonna get a new one that might be a little bit better. It's kind of what I feel like when they say that, right? Like, just fix the things. You can do that. You can have to. You can have an old car and a new car if you want both. You could sell the old car and buy a new car if you want to do that, but don't keep an old car and keep paying for it when it's broken and then get a new car and start paying for that too. an absurd waste of money and resources. So I think of it like that. And I have had a few practice owners that are like, but this one is just like, I'm racking my brain like, cool, we haven't found the root cause yet then. So when you're digging into those pieces and really looking at why is my now this is gonna be my flagship. So how do I operate this as my flagship practice? How do I make sure that this practice is the practice model that I want my next practice to look like? And it might be. It might be a little bit different. said, you know, PPO practice and a fee for service practice. I've got a couple of practices that run similar to that. I've got, I've got one doctor that has three locations that two of them are like PPO style, but they operate as a fee for service. Cause that's just the level of care that they put into everything. But then he's also got a Medicaid practice that's like obscure on the side. That's like, that's a little bit of an uphill battle, but they're, they're so different, but they. Team-wise, they try to operate very similarly or just, you know, the fee-for-service and the PPO standpoints, but operationally, making sure, like you said, that those systems that we have in place, I want your patient experience to be the same no matter what type of practice you own, right? I want your accounting to be the same. I want it to be super clean no matter what. And the space that you mentioned there with the accounting that gets really muddled and mucky, The Dental A Team (09:36.583) is when we don't keep those books clean, especially, no matter what, you've got two different sets of bills, right, of outgoing money that's coming with each practice, no matter what. Well, even if you have one entity and one business name that owns two practices, you still have to separate that in some way. And a lot of you guys are going out and you're getting associates who want to partner in to one of them or... I know a practice that opened a specialty practice with her best friend. And I was like, super clear from the get-go, we've got to make sure these are super separated. making sure, again, one's paying the other. And an office manager who may act as a regional-ish, you've got to dial that in. How are we paying her when she's on board? Britt (10:09.788) Thank The Dental A Team (10:27.763) And she's doing hours for the second practice. What does that look? Who's paying for that? Because if our flagship practice pays for everything and now our flagship practices at 80 % overhead and tanking in our second practice, isn't making money yet. We've got an issue there because the books are so confusing. and Britt, just to spiral down that one, when we don't have super clean books like that, what are the negative implications as far as like taxes and just. Why is it so important from the get-go that this is clean? Britt (11:00.836) Yeah, it just it can just get wild like you said even taxes what business is it coming from what's getting paid by whom and Some things that can get really wild like you said and I'm all for right economies of scale or a thing That's part of the reason of going into multiples. So just make sure it's being allocated correctly You've got a regional manager Maybe there's or an om that's maybe doing 50 50 or 75 25 then great just split their salary right 25 from the smaller one 75 from the other one I'm just thinking that sense also because you want goals and you want your office managers to be responsible for helping you reach them including overhead So you just don't want it to get mucky to where one we've got excuses that we're like, it's just this right? We're human beings We will all will try to find any reason to like justify why we are where we are instead of digging in to see what's going on and So having it really clean gives honest numbers so people know exactly what they're responsible for The Dental A Team (11:54.005) Mm-hmm. Britt (12:02.268) They know if we're shooting for a goal, we're shooting for overhead, if we're working to control things, it's really clean for them to do so and it's fair in how we're doing it. then correct, valuation for businesses, right? Even for that, ultimately it's gonna come from like, yes, your EBITDA, but like profitability is gonna be a factor. so, and... The Dental A Team (12:21.425) Exactly. Britt (12:25.208) If someone comes in and they start looking at things and maybe there was a shift at some point, they're like, two months ago you decided to sell and it's looking real different, it's gonna raise some questions that might be concerning. So keep it clean from the get go if you need to sell one or even just for valuation purposes, if you need to leverage those practices to go buy more locations, you just wanna keep everything clean, because if not, it just creates a lot more questions and it may hinder you from. The Dental A Team (12:35.989) Yeah. Britt (12:51.59) getting finances or being able to hold team members accountable and also knowing which practices really need some attention or may or may not be doing well. The Dental A Team (13:00.277) Yeah, I love that. So it sounds like you need a really great CPA. You need a really good bookkeeper that knows multiples. Yeah, a really great bookkeeper. I do have some doctors who are their own bookkeepers and I'm okay with that, but you gotta be really good at it and a really great payroll company that probably comes with. Britt (13:04.746) that most multiples are left. The Dental A Team (13:18.199) those two options to make sure that everything's super clean. And then I think, like you said, the office manager situation, making sure that she or he knows where the money's coming from too. And if they're employed now, like if they're getting paychecks from both, that's different. Like that's gonna look different to them on their W-2 side. It's gonna look different to you. Is one business paying, like is the corporation paying the salary and the businesses are paying the corporation? Like you've got to figure those pieces out. Ask the right questions, ask the right people, make sure that you've got all of those super clean. As far as like that's one major piece of it. So I want to make sure we get that out from the get go. As far as systems go, making sure, operations spaniel and training. Like you mentioned earlier, your team, your culture, it should be stellar. It should be rock solid because honestly, most of the time when we... see multi-practice locations, we're taking over another practice, right? We're buying a practice from a retiring doctor or whatever, and we're taking over a practice, taking over a team. And so if we've got a really stellar team that understands what we're doing, understands what our goals are, understands our systems and can say, yeah, heck yeah, like let's do this and let's make some more patients really, really in fantastic health, they can then help you duplicate what you've done. into the next practice and help to welcome those team members. I think one of the most stressful parts of ever taking over any practice, whether it's your first, your second, your 15th, is the people aspect of it. And how many are we going to be able to retain? How do we tell them? When do we tell them? What's their reaction going to be? How do we get them on our systems? Well, the same as we do anything, we, you know, go in, be yourself. and look at what's working and what's not working. Start with areas that's not working instead of coming in, in my opinion, and being like, this is our book, this is how you're going to be. But if you do what Brett said in the beginning and really make sure that your team is solid and that you've got those systems in place, you've got that culture, I think that team could be super paramount in training and helping to find those systems and really even, I don't know, Brett, going in and being like, that's really cool how you do that. The Dental A Team (15:32.249) I think that might be more efficient than how we've been doing it. Let's ask doctor, let's ask office manager, because I actually really like that and having that open mind because your way might, like I know our way, we've got a million ways to do anything. And the reason I think we're successful is that we customize it to the practice. And oftentimes I'll go in and be like, oh, that's not how I told someone to do it yesterday, but this is how I want you to do it. Cause this is what's going to be best for you. So having that open mind and having that team mindset ready to go also takes that barking off the doctor and makes it so that you can kind of copy and paste. How do you feel about that, Britt? What are your thoughts on that? Britt (16:09.36) You hit another big point, agreed with you, right? So having that strong, for a lot of reasons, right? Again, change in people, we don't always love it. It's a transition. So even if they just know you've got a strong culture, they meet team members, right? And they see how great you are. It's gonna make the transition of that new practice a little easier and also set the standard of like, and this is who we are. like, rise to the occasion, cause this is how we function and it's great. And you wanna be great. The Dental A Team (16:29.666) Yeah. Britt (16:35.608) with us, right? You also hit on an important point of trying to get things off the doctor. That's the next, right? Also with multiples, I'm thinking of systems and multiples. How can your people help you and how can they report up to you? I think of it as I don't have children, but I'm like, once you're outnumbered, right? So like, great, usually parents, it's like two, all right, we can each take one, but then you get throw a third in there and someone's out doing something wild while you're trying to manage to. The Dental A Team (16:37.261) Yeah. The Dental A Team (16:54.578) Yeah. Britt (17:03.374) And so I think with locations too, right? Two offices, it's like, all right, if you're in clinical full-time, like it's going to be crazy. If you've got a little time and you're still doing kind of all the things, you don't really have a strong OM, doing a lot of it for you in the practice, you've now just doubled your work with another location if you're going off of that same model. So. The Dental A Team (17:12.067) I agree. Britt (17:24.026) training people to help you, getting office managers in place, getting things made to where they're reporting up to you. If you don't have to do it, you're starting to pass them off and you focus on the high level things that need to be done. Cause that's, can think of a client right now. We just had this conversation cause like he's still doing bookkeeping and all sorts of stuff. I'm like. You're going to, you're at three now. We just got three. It's going to get wild real fast for you if you don't start kind of planning for other people to help you do some of the things that they can. The Dental A Team (17:54.905) Yeah, yeah. Do you think that they have to have leadership teams in place before they have a 2nd or 3rd or 4th location? How do you feel about that? Britt (18:06.46) Absolutely, think even just for the second one, Because when, especially if you're transitioning a practice, right, CEO, which is owner, right, going into multiple locations, big responsibilities for you are gonna be culture, vision, and like ultimately making sure you're holding people accountable, that we're profitable and we're growing. So you're gonna need to spend time at that new location. The Dental A Team (18:20.762) Okay. The Dental A Team (18:26.52) Yeah. Britt (18:30.676) One, to just see what's going on, right? And to help see where things need to be done and observe and build relationships and set culture with that new team that you've got over there. So you're going to get pulled to that new location. And this is where I don't want you guys going crazy. It should be something you enjoy. Like, yes, it's a time of a season of a little bit more effort and time, but I don't want you to go wild. If you've got an OM at your other location, then it's like, sure, I'm around. You got major things that need to be done awesome. But I can go spend a couple of weeks at the new location getting them onboarded and getting good relationships with those people while my OM is handling things at the other location. So it makes your life so much easier. If not, it gets wild. And I think doctors all know this. The Dental A Team (19:00.292) Yeah. The Dental A Team (19:07.631) For sure. Britt (19:13.572) Right? When doctors not in the office or O.M.s not in the office, what usually happens Tiff The Dental A Team (19:20.257) Yep, the team goes crazy. It gets wild. Britt (19:22.81) Yep, they start to get distracted and like, great, I want you to enjoy each other, but like, we've got to get work done. So you need someone there to make sure things are getting done and holding people accountable when you're not physically in the office. The Dental A Team (19:28.314) Yeah. The Dental A Team (19:35.216) Totally agree. I think it comes down to the ease as well. Like when I've got a lead hygienist, a lead dental assistant, a lead front office, whether it's just my TC is, you know, my lead and it's just that she does really well managing the schedule and managing the people to make sure it's working and whether you call them leads or not, like quarterbacks or go to, like, I don't care what you call them. It doesn't have to be something crazy. It doesn't have to mean pay raises, doesn't have to mean all this crazy stuff. It's just that you've got those people that the team knows they can count on and that you can count on to carry out your culture when you're gone. And the culture is, you know, how are we getting to our goals in the best ways possible and serving our patients the best? I assume most of our listeners are in that kind of a category, but making sure that that's there so that you can focus some attention on another practice location when you need to. I know it's like, really hard when the doctor's not in the prac- in any of the practices, right? The doctor is typically the one that carries most of the culture and the person who most prac- most, team members like to go to. But when you instill that culture and you infuse it into the other people and you have right people, right seat, which is a totally different podcast and something you guys should go listen to, that comes naturally for the people and naturally your team gravitates towards those people. pretty quickly. It may take some implementation, may take some, you know, multiple meetings, et cetera, but making sure that you have that in place, I think, is a really big and important piece. So, multi-practice locations, there's a lot of things I think we could dive into. We could spend two hours talking about it today, but the biggest pieces I think that you hit on beautifully was making sure we have our accounts super clean. That includes our patient accounts, right? Making sure those systems are clean. But making sure you have systems for your accounting, your banking, your taxes per location and per entity is really big, making sure that it's clean, it's crisp, it's clear. Anybody from the outside looking in can figure it out because it's so clean. Making sure that you have your operational systems at your flagship and your culture at your flagship ready to be duplicated. Could you look at, can you look at your practice today and say, yes, this is what I want to do again? Britt (21:50.641) Yeah. The Dental A Team (21:50.716) This is the practice I want to own again. And can I didn't duplicate that over here. If not, we've got work to do and that's okay. We just find the root causes. And then three, really making sure that you've got a leadership team on board to help you out with it. And I do have to caveat that one. Sometimes people write seat, like sometimes we put somebody in a leadership position and they're good for now. And then we get to a space where we're bigger and it doesn't work. And that's okay too. can switch things around. So I feel like those are the three top. pieces, the accounts, the systems, and the culture to really dive into this early in the game. And then Britt (22:24.646) Yeah. Britt (22:28.486) You said something really good as well, right? Even in putting people in like leadership or leads. The Dental A Team (22:30.963) Yeah. Britt (22:34.332) I'm all for responsibility for title. Like try it out and see how they do before you give an actual title to something. I know manager is a term, like I get it, but it's like, I don't know. Like the power that can come can turn some people sometimes. I'm like, great. It might be, you're the point person for this office. You are maybe front desk lead or whatever it may be. People are like, well, we don't have a manager. Well, you go to TIFF, right? TIFF's responsible for that if you need something. So I will highlight that as you get the right The Dental A Team (22:47.101) Hmm. The Dental A Team (22:59.803) Yeah. Britt (23:04.286) people in the right seats is don't move too fast on giving titles and getting yourself in a scenario that's going to be a crappy one to get yourself out of. The Dental A Team (23:05.861) I agree. The Dental A Team (23:12.766) I agree. think you highlighted that clarity. TIF is the one you go to for that. So when they know where they need to go for something, that's really all they need. They don't need to know, like, she's the lead. It's just that they need to know who can I trust for this information? When I have this issue arise, who can I trust to help me get a resolution for it? So I love that clarity. So I love it, you guys. I hope those of you who are considering multipractice or have multipractice that you guys took some tidbits from today, reach out.

This doesn't mean just the numbers or just the patient experience, but all the pieces of the puzzle. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Join Dental A-Team Consulting Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:01.926) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. I am so excited to be back here today. We are recording quite a few podcasts today, Dana and I, and this is our second up, so we should still be super fresh for you. Just kidding, we're always fresh. Dana, your hair looks amazing. You guys know it's hair and leggings and workouts, apparel and... protein bars for me. Like she is my girl who shares all of my same hopes, dreams, wishes, and desires in life. So Dana, your hair looks amazing today. I love it. Yeah. I used my... Dana (00:33.454) Well, you know, I'm podcasting with Tiff. I had to put a little effort in. The Dental A Team (00:38.46) Well, thank you. went and straightened it real quick, but I used my my crimper thing yesterday. I've used it quite a few times on my new haircut. I wasn't sure how it was going to work, but it worked. For all you male dentists out there listening, just give me a stitch. I'm sorry. Dana (00:43.854) Let's go! The Dental A Team (00:51.26) Dana, made her, this is like a year and a half, two years ago now, something like that. I made her give me a tutorial because she was doing this weird thing with her hair and I was like, my God, it looks so good. I need to know how to do my hair like that. She's like, just get this thing. I'm like, yeah, but I don't think you understand. I need a tutorial. So she literally did a tutorial for me on how to wave my hair. And it is actually really cute with my new cut. So thank you, Dana, for stepping up my game, my hair game. and all of the other games. Your Tip Tuesdays, I'm always like dying to see what it's going to be. I have protein bars because of you. I have so many things. So thank you, Dana, for having all of the tips and the tricks in your back pocket every single time. Dana (01:36.022) can't take credit for it, I'm constantly asking my girlfriends, hey, what are you guys doing? Give me all the products too. So a lot of them are tips that have been shared with me that I just pass on. The Dental A Team (01:46.182) That's what this world is about, right? Everything we share on this podcast are things that we've learned along the way, either on our own from exploration or because we learned it from somebody else. And that is the beauty, I think, of life and really being able to have that community and that camaraderie where you can share those things. So you have your girlfriends, our doctors here at the Dental A Team have each other. We have a... An amazing doctors group that I feel like is just like that, Dana, where I see things go off all the time on the little texting app and they're like, my gosh, what do you guys have for this? Or what new bond are you using? My bond sucks. Or cosmetic stuff. So I think that's... That's how we do it. That's how we move along and that's how we were meant to do it. We were never meant to do life solo. We were meant to do life in groups with incredible, amazing people. And we are here for it every single day. We love our clients. We love you guys who are our clients and we love you guys who are not yet our clients. And we have those communities for you. So look for them. Instagram, Facebook, we've got all kinds of communities there for our clients who are listening. If you don't know what I'm talking about with this doctor, collaboration sucker, you better be texting me right now. Same with Dana. If you are our client and you don't know what I'm talking about, you better be texting me right now. Let's get you in there. Awesome. Dana, today I really wanted to talk about teams and how doctors and leaders, so doctors and probably office managers, business administrators, can really utilize the team to help push goals. I think oftentimes we have clients that come in, they onboard, and I hear a lot of the time, and Dana, I think you might as well, I don't talk to my team about numbers because I don't want them to think that I'm numbers driven. And I think it's super freaking common in the dental world because we have a really hard time differentiating black and white numbers and emotions. And The Dental A Team (03:44.13) I always like to say that emotions are fleeting, the way I felt when I woke up this morning, drastically different than how I feel right now. And that was like six hours, seven hours ago. Like within a day, I've had so many emotions come and go that if I'm constantly weighing out if something's working right or not, or if I'm growing or if I'm happy, if I'm sad, I'm just constantly trying to weigh out what that looks like based on my feelings, it's gonna be very difficult. But dentistry, we are in the care profession and we are saturated, luckily I think this is an incredible asset to all of us, we are saturated with emotional beings, highly emotionally intelligent human beings that are keyed in first to how we feel. So bringing in that numbers aspect can feel cold and sterile and it can feel like, Tiff, I'm here for the patients. I'm here for the patient experience. I don't wanna talk about the numbers. I've literally had a doctor say, I don't wanna look at the numbers. I don't wanna talk about them. And I said, okay, you don't want to yet, but we're gonna get there. Now Dana, I know you've had that as well. What do you feel is the reason that you've seen or reasons that you've experienced that doctors or business administrators might not want to talk about numbers? Dana (04:58.923) Yeah, I think a lot of it comes from a fear of when they talk about numbers, the team sees that only as profit, right? Or dollars, dollars, right? When we talk about numbers and dollars that go directly to the doctor or to the owner. And so I always feel like The Dental A Team (05:08.433) Yeah. Dana (05:16.692) Yeah, we want to talk about production. We want to talk about collections. We want to talk to dollars. We also want to talk about expenses, right? You want your team to have a full picture of numbers, not just the dollar, because when they have a full picture of the numbers and they also know what those numbers tell them in relation to patient care and patient experience, and all of those are part of numbers. And so I feel like you can't talk about numbers without talking about those other things too. And you can't highlight, like you have to highlight what the numbers tell you about those pieces, which are the The Dental A Team (05:22.214) Correct. Dana (05:46.808) that usually rally up the team that they really care about that are the reasons why they are there. And so when you make those connections of, yes, these are dollars, but these dollars tell us about patient care. These dollars tell us what an amazing patient experience we're creating for our patients. These dollars tell us how great we are at getting our patients to accept the treatment that we recommend to them. And these dollars come with expenses. And so they aren't just profit. They aren't just dollars that are sitting in a bank somewhere and accumulating interest. The Dental A Team (06:10.789) Yeah. Dana (06:16.384) and making you as the owner, right? And you as the owner should you take all the risk, right? So don't feel guilty about that either. You take all of the risk. It is all of your license. It is all in everything that you've created. So also don't feel guilty if you make a healthy profit from your practice. But I think when you have a full picture. The Dental A Team (06:21.498) Yeah. Dana (06:33.334) of expenses and what they tell you and all of those things numbers become really easy to talk about and team members can start to get behind those numbers when they understand what those numbers are telling them about the things that they care about. The Dental A Team (06:49.692) Totally agree. I 100 % stand by everything you just said. One thing that you made me think of is, because you're talking about this profit piece, gosh, I think a lot of dentists, you all want the profit, but I think a lot of you feel almost guilty for the profit, and especially when it comes to the numbers. That's why sometimes you don't want to talk about it. I totally understand that. But I think what you forget to see in that, is how much decision making becomes easier when you know the numbers. When you know that you're truly profitable and when the practice knows you're truly profitable, the team meaning that it makes it much easier to make decisions. So can we take an extra day off next month because there's a festival in town and we all want to go to it? Can we buy the ultrasonic or the autoclave or the cavatron? how many cavatrons do we get asked for at the end of the year you guys? I just had one, I just had a call today. Dana (07:41.003) you The Dental A Team (07:44.966) They're like, hygiene department needs a cavern shot, and we need an ultrasonic, we need a sterilizer, and I'm like, cool, we've got to figure out where that's coming from. But the team, I mean the team, I just had this call with this doctor this morning, he's one of my favorite doctors I talked to, him and his wife. We have... like tenfold changed their money and their financial situation and their practice and it has been incredible. They went from like an 82 % overhead to typically they're like 57 to 62 % right now. They're profiting, they're able to put money aside. He has a CE bucket I make him put money in, all of these different pieces. He's just bought a new practice to expand. It's huge. All of this stuff has happened in the last couple of years but it's because we were willing to start looking at the money. Well, his team sent us this laundry list of like wishes and it's fantastic. And the office manager has gone through and she's priced everything and she's done it all correct so that now we can say, okay, well, what are the educated decisions based on the finances prior to working on this with them prior to working so hard at getting that, that overhead down by at least 20 % over the last two years. They weren't talking numbers a lot with the team. They were just going through the motions. The only number that they really talked about was where's our production and are we at 98 %? Collections are higher, which are two fantastic numbers to talk about, but they weren't watching other pieces. They weren't watching the AR. They weren't watching necessarily the new patients super closely and what was happening is their AR was being padded with overpayments and so what was happening, profit was down, their overhead was high because they actually had a ton of money still outstanding, but it wasn't showing up in the initial reports. know this, they didn't understand this, we had to break it down, we had to pull backwards, we had to start moving money around, all of these different things had to come into place and once the team understood what the numbers meant, what they could control, they were on board. They were like, my gosh, this is a disaster. Like how do we positively impact this? Because you guys, they care about your business too because they care about you. This specific practice, this team loves this doctor. I mean, I love this doctor and that's why The Dental A Team (10:00.998) like they are incredible human beings. Most of you guys out there are incredible human beings with teams who want you to do really well. When you do well, your team does well. And your team does well and can help promote that, like Dana said, when they know what they're going after. Does your team know how to win? Because emotions are fleeting and I might feel like, gosh, today was a fantastic day. It was so smooth and it flowed so well. And you're leaving the back door complaining because we had $1,200 worth of treatment today and I'm like... Today was great. Today, I wasn't running around like a chicken. It seemed to flow really well. And you're like, no, I couldn't even pay the people that were here today based off of the money that we brought in. That's the difference. And your team needs to be able to see that, to see where they can go. And Dana and I chatted earlier about really seeing those overarching goals, but then seeing how does my individual position in this practice add to that goal? So what is the goal of my position? And how does that goal, that metric add into the larger metrics of the practice? So if I'm a billing representative, how does the work that I do directly affect profitability of the practice or overhead of the practice is probably easier to talk about, right? And Dana, I know we were just talking about this. So what are some other spaces like hygiene's an easy one because they're providers, right? But even as far as like treatment coordinators, billing or front office representatives, like what are you seeing with the practices you work at? work with, not at, that you work with, that you're having those leading measures that are really, really contributing to the back end full arch goals. Dana (11:45.622) Yeah. And I think that that's, that's, it's, it's knowing what your other numbers tell you, right? Or what adjunct numbers then to look at that feed into some of those larger numbers like production and collections. So if I TC, right, how would you impact collections? Well, you would help increase production by getting more treatment accepted. And it's just breaking it down and making those connections for them. If I am the scheduler, well, how do I impact collections? Well, if I have a full schedule where we can produce it, then we're able to collect it. Right. So just breaking that all down. If I'm a The Dental A Team (11:50.747) Yeah. The Dental A Team (12:12.24) Yeah. Yeah. Dana (12:15.488) dental assistant, well how do I affect production? Well you make sure that you're as efficient as possible so our appointment lengths can be as short as possible and you're part of reappointing right? So making sure that you get the next thing on the schedule, making sure that you're teeing things up for the doctor, all of those things help build production but sometimes it's difficult for team members to make those links or to see wow yeah like me doing that really does impact that. number or that larger overarching goal. And so almost every number in the practice, each individual seat can contribute to it in some way. We just sometimes as leaders have to make those connections or draw those links for team members to see. The Dental A Team (12:42.588) Thank you. The Dental A Team (12:53.308) you Totally agree. I was working with a pediatric practice last week and this was most of our meeting was spent on this and we spent at least two hours really diving into each department from the overarching goal standpoint and really the daily production that they're looking to hit to hit the monthly production and how does every department and each individual within that department control that and one of the most interesting pieces that was pulled out for them was the dental assistance and the dental assistance you guys that is usually the toughest spot to like really pull something out of it. Same day treatment for sure, conversions like all those pieces but this one was really cool. It's a pediatric practice and they have their dental assistants chart prep. 48 hours ahead. So they're always like one and two days ahead doing the chart preps. Well, this team listed chart prepping as one of their issues when we first started our meeting. So I was like, let's talk about these chart preps. What is happening here? Well, they're spending like 40 minutes per provider at a four to five provider practice chart prepping for them. And my mind was blown. And I was like, holy cow, this is taking you so long. And I started diving into it. This is just their normal every day. One of the complaints from the front office team was that they're getting last minute same day schedule changes that are necessary because the back office is chart prepping so late that they're coming up and saying, hey, we can't do that. You need to reschedule that patient. The Dental A Team (14:22.352) Well, what does that do? That tanks our production, it's bad customer service, completely changes the experience of the patient and the parent because it's a pediatric practice. So many things are entangled in that. And what we ended up doing was really breaking down that if we could change the metrics on this, right? So who's responsible for this? Who's going to do it every single day? So one of their metrics was someone is responsible for doing it and to decrease the amount of time. So their metrics right now is to get it done by 838 am so the opener will do this chart prep, they have to be done by 8 30 a.m. and they're they're timing themselves to get it down to 15 minutes. That is going to significantly change what they're able to do because what was happening is all of these dental assistants were like trying to get it done and it's like whoever can get to it and hey that's where I was and I started there and you can do this one over here while they're seeing patients throughout the day. So it wasn't actually getting done and when it was it was kind of just muddled. So the whole point of it, like the value of the schedule was unseen. The value of same day treatment ads completely bypassed because we weren't actually looking at it and applying it to open appointments on the same day. And the value out of being cherished side and available for patients during patient time was lost. So appointments were taking too long. Can you imagine like your overall overarching goals, production collections, new patients, patient satisfaction, so your reviews, all of those pieces are insanely impacted by something as easy as changing the chart prep and how they were doing it and how they were running it. I talked to the doctor yesterday and I didn't specifically look at the chart prep with her but they hit three out of four days last week they were 100 % to goal and they are over like they're over what The Dental A Team (16:17.296) producing what they should this month based on the projections. I was there a week ago and we put the attention back on it with the scheduling coordinators, with the whole team's attention is on this single day production, totally changed the game. Even just by the dental assistants looking at how effective their time use is. And Dana, what you said made me think of that because we under... when it's not attached to cell fluoride, or how many night guards can we get? And I agree, do 80 % night guard case acceptance, diagnose 10 % more night guards than you usually do, recommend, whatever you want to call it. Like I agree with those, but I think we undervalue how much just time saving techniques can add back production. So Dana, you've worked with a lot of pediatric practices as well, and GP practices, but where else do you feel like from a office standpoint, simple things like that. What else have you seen practices do to really get the back office on board with the goals? Because I do think a lot of times for an office we think numbers, right? It's not always, and I say that I'm a dental assistant by trade as well, but for an office thinks numbers first most of the time. Back office it's much more difficult to think the numbers because I think it's because it's more difficult to see the impact that we can have on those numbers. So what are some other areas that you've worked with practices on? that have worked really well. Dana (17:44.886) Yeah, and I will say in my last pediatric practice, was we worked a ton on how the back impacts AR and billing. And sometimes they feel like, no, we don't impact that world at all. Well, actually, you do fairly significantly. And so making sure that you are walking out and attaching The Dental A Team (17:59.749) Yeah. Dana (18:03.828) everything that you did, every single thing that you did because you were in there. You know if that surface changed, you know if you added a tooth, you know. So making sure that everything is in there, making sure that you have, that the billing team has all of the pieces they need to build successfully. Did you take that pre-op x-ray? Did you take that post-op x-ray? Do we have period charting? Do we have all of the things that we need? Do we have the IOP of that decay of that tooth? So really just full picture of you guys actually impact billing tremendously and you also like you are heavy hitters on the amount of time it takes for an insurance to reimburse or all of those pieces. And so we worked a ton on making sure everything was walked out, making sure everything was updated in the chart and getting them to check codes for the next appointment. You just saw the patient, you know that they had bite wings this time. So what better space for you to do than check codes for the next appointment. The Dental A Team (18:38.671) Yeah. The Dental A Team (18:55.798) Mm-hmm. Dana (18:56.354) So that's another space where oftentimes like they don't realize that they impact those things. And I don't think a dental assistant is like, well, the things that I do really impact the timely filing and timely payment of insurance claims. It absolutely does though. The Dental A Team (19:10.598) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. I think that's brilliant. And when you're doing that, all you have to do then is take those pieces that Dana just spoke on and turn it into a measurement. The easiest space to do that is a percentage. Because if you say, sell five fluorides a day, or convert two same day treatments a day, a dental assistant is like, cool, I didn't have any opportunities for that today. So I got a big fat zero. So if you say we're converting 80 % of the opportunities given, we can say I converted three out of five opportunities today or how many times, you what's the percentage? I want 100 % of all of the codes attached every single time. So then we can go back through and say, hey, there was 10 % here that we had to go back and ask questions or fix it. If you change that metric into a percentage or this out of this, you're going to get a much higher success rate and also doing it on a daily but weekly. So a lot of times I'll say, okay, everyone needs to ask for two reviews a day, but at minimum 10 a week. So if you get to Friday and you were like, only asked for four this week, you know you have six people you got to ask today. So it's two a day, 10 a week or whatever that metric might be. But I love that you said that Dana, it truly does. And I do think as dental assistants, we underestimate that and we want to give everything away for free, by the way. We want I know hygienists too. We just want we just want to like, we just want to fix it. We want to make it better. But really seeing the value of those missing those missing attachments like that $12 that $16 add that up over the course of 20 patients a month and that's a significant amount, you know, you're asking for cavatrons and I'm like, well, give me some PA's pay for it. I'll get you a cavatron tip. How can we calculate this? So just bringing that awareness up to your team I think really makes a difference you guys and they start thinking about it the same as they do their finances at home. It's finances at work as well and Dana (20:57.272) Yeah. The Dental A Team (21:13.64) in order to reinvest back into the patients, back into the practice and into your team, the profit has to be there. We have to meet these metrics. So biggest ways to get a team on board with that is to show them the path. to win. If they can see it, they're going to freaking go for it you guys. If they know what that goal is, if they know what the metric is that they have to meet to say I won today, they're going to do it because everyone wants to feel really good about their jobs and this is an easy way for them to win. Just find those metrics. Dana, thank you so much. I knew picking your brain was going to be fantastic on this one. This was a super, super fun one to do and you guys, we do this all day. We do this with a lot of practices. I know the back office side can be a little bit more difficult to pinpoint those pieces. office is a little bit easier.

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Dr. Bethany Fishbein, OD, Consultant & Executive Coach with Leaders of Vision. Bethany and I talk about a topic that an OD might not think about directly correlating to the financials of a practice: leadership skills. However, I believe that we quickly illustrate in our conversation how the things that negatively impact a practice's profitability—staff turnover, patients not returning, and an overworked/overwhelmed owner just to name a few—are usually the symptoms of an underlying “disease:” an owner that has neglected to focus on improving their leadership skills and emotional intelligence. Throughout this conversation, Bethany shares practical ways for owners to take action and, at the end, shares a very easy Next Best Step that an owner/leader can take to make progress. 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 best life, on purpose.

Have you been thinking about starting a private practice in your small town? You're going to love this episode of Private Practice Success Stories! I sat down with Gabby Hewitt, a speech language pathologist with a private practice specializing in orofacial myology in a small town in North Dakota. She opened her practice while knowing there was a lack of speech therapy services in her hometown and wanted to fill that gap. I got to know Gabby during her time in the Start and Grow Your Private Practice programs and it has been amazing to watch the impact she has had bringing a much-needed service to her rural area. In this episode, Gabby talks about how she started her practice right out of her CF, how clients find her, why she hired an assistant, and how specializing in feeding and myo has helped clients be drawn to her.Gabby is an ASHA Certified SLP specializing in orofacial myology, oral myofunctional disorders, and pediatric feeding and swallowing.

She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of North Dakota before obtaining her Master of Science in Speech Language Pathology from Gannon University in Ruskin, FL where she was a member of the first-ever graduate SLP program cohort. It was in Florida that she discovered and learned about orofacial myology. Following her clinical fellowship, Gabby opened her private practice, UpNorth Therapies, in her hometown of Carrington, North Dakota where she recently just completed a renovation and expansion project of a new clinic space 8 months after opening. In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How and why Gabby decided to start a private practice so early in her careerWhy work-life balance isn't just a fantasy with a private practiceThe good you can do for your community when you take control of your life and careerThe key to getting your first clients as a private practice owner in a small townThe true power of specializing as a private practice ownerHow you can structure your week when you are in charge of your hoursA look into the impact of hiring help in your private practiceHow the Start and Grow programs helped Gabby grow her business and get more stabilityThe power you have to grow at your own pace in your businessI hope you enjoyed this episode with Gabby!

In this episode, SCT coach Dr. Fred Schofield delves into the importance of expanding your self-image as a chiropractor. Reflecting on his journey at Palmer College in 1978, Dr. Fred shares a pivotal moment from his second quarter when he felt lost and lacked the passion to continue.

Dr. Fred highlights the critical relationship between self-image and self-esteem, explaining how your internal vision and the emotions backing it can determine your success. He stresses that to thrive, you must see yourself as successful and capable.

This episode explores the power of renewing your mind through positive thinking and maintaining a prosperous frequency in practice. Dr. Fred shares practical advice on using your six-week average to set personalized goals and emphasizes focusing on the process rather than just the results. By transforming your internal pattern and seeing yourself as a winner, you can achieve the success you envision.

Simply put: you can't play music well unless you're subconscious mind is driving the bus. If you're aware of having to think about each note, each rhythm, each aspect of the music before you play it, then you're still practicing with your conscious mind. When you train your technique and repertoire beyond the point of awareness where your hands just seem to play by themselves, you have entered the subconscious zone with your music, and this is where the fun begins! In this episode, learn how these two minds work and how to practice in one mode so that you train the other.
