Should You Invest in Chairside Milling or 3D Printing? How do milling and printing compare in durability and cost? Which option provides the best long-term ROI for your workflow? In this deep dive, Dr. Rustom Moopen shares his experience with CEREC, ExoCAD, and in-house fabrication, breaking down the real benefits and limitations of both technologies. From restoration strength to efficiency and investment costs, this episode unpacks what every dentist needs to know before taking the leap into milling, printing, and CAD/CAM workflows. https://youtu.be/fgQnrDfXnqI Watch PDP224 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Achieving the same effect (of the ‘Soft Clamp' by Kerr) with a metal clamp without requiring a potentially painful palatal injection - Dr. Jo Cape (Protruserati) suggests using a cotton bud to apply topical anesthetic to the gingiva where the clamp will be placed, leaving it for a minute, improving patient comfort! Key TakeAway: Investing in technology like milling can lead to a measurable ROI. Time management is crucial in dental procedures for efficiency. Milling is a subtractive process, while printing is additive. Mentorship is often more valuable than formal courses. The dental industry is evolving with new technologies. Understanding the nuances of dental procedures can enhance practice. Early adoption of technology can set a practice apart. Milling and printing serve different purposes in dental work. Mock-ups can save time and improve patient satisfaction. Milling offers more reliability than printing for dental applications. The choice between milling and printing depends on personal preference and practice needs. Milled composites have a proven track record of durability. Printed splints may not hold up under heavy use. Investing in milling technology can enhance practice efficiency. Design software plays a crucial role in modern dentistry. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each method is essential for success. Investing in dental software can be costly but worthwhile. Learning design software is crucial for modern dentistry. Milling is generally superior to printing for final restorations. Regulatory considerations are important for in-house lab work. Choosing the right milling equipment depends on practice needs. Training and mentorship are essential for mastering dental technology.

Cryptocurrency enthusiasts can't fathom why Bitcoin will fail. If you tell them that you're not investing in Bitcoin or other cryptos, they look at you like an uneducated investor, a sheep following the crowd without thinking for yourself. The promise of Bitcoin is so great that you'd have to be an outright fool to deny it, and anyone who refutes the future golden age of a decentralized society is simply mistaken and is only coping with the oncoming collapse of fiat currency and Western civilization. The problem with that theory? None of it is grounded in reality. Today, BiggerPockets CEO Scott Trench is going to prove it. After years of research on Bitcoin, the blockchain, and cryptocurrency as a whole, Scott has come to a simple conclusion: Bitcoin isn't worth it. In fact, Bitcoin may be worth, unsurprisingly, nothing! But before all you Bitcoin maximalists come out of the woodwork, claiming we're forever bullish on index funds and real estate, hear out Scott's argument. Scott will explain the case for Bitcoin and why its end goal is actually quite altruistic. However, five fatal flaws will stop Bitcoin from ever becoming a world reserve currency or replacing fiat money. Besides its fatal flaws, Bitcoin isn't a foolproof cryptocurrency by any means, and we'll prove it! Finally, Scott gives his Bitcoin price prediction and his recommendation if you do want to hold some Satoshis. In This Episode We Cover The rational investor's case against Bitcoin and why it's NOT an investment The reasons why Bitcoin could change society for the better (but probably won't) Five fatal flaws of Bitcoin that will stop it from ever taking over fiat currency How adopting Bitcoin could lead to a crashing economy with no growth The blockchain's big problems and proof that the world isn't ready to adopt cryptocurrency Scott's long-term Bitcoin price prediction that will shock Bitcoin maximalists And So Much More!

Word of mouth, networking, and similar marketing efforts can bring in a lot of revenue. But they are also unreliable and unpredictable. To establish and maintain a successful business, you must be consistently finding and nurturing new leads. This may sound overwhelming. As a business without a massive marketing department, you don't have the time and manpower to develop complex systems of advertising and marketing campaigns. Where do you even begin? Start small. Begin by refining your lead generation funnel. The Lead Generation Funnel A lead generation funnel provides direction and purpose for your marketing. To bring in more leads and close more sales. It's called a funnel because the first stage captures the attention of a broad audience, and this marketing becomes more refined and detailed in the following stages. Here are the four main stages of a lead generation funnel. Stage One: Awareness Consider a new prospect who has never heard of your company or your solution before. They may not even know they need you. In this awareness stage, you are focused on introducing your company and guiding the prospect to understand what you do and why they should trust you. Stage Two: Engagement As the prospect considers making a purchase or is at least attracted to your business, they progress into the engagement stage. In this stage, you are building more rapport and your messaging becomes more focused on selling your solution to the prospect. Stage Three: Conversion A prospect who gets to this stage is ready to buy from you. In this stage, your goal is to make their purchase as easy as possible and upsell where you can. Remember prospects are busy and don't assume they understand your process. Keep it simple and lead them to the sale. Stage Four: Follow-up Your visitor's journey does not end once they have transitioned from a prospect to a customer. So, it's crucial to provide post-purchase support to your customer in order to earn referrals and positive reviews, which leads to more sales. Which is why it's important to begin the onboarding process as soon as possible to ensure that your customer feels like a priority to avoid buyer's remorse. Create an Irresistible Offer To develop a successful lead generation funnel, begin by keeping the funnel full with fresh leads. You can do this by developing a great free offer in exchange for a prospect's contact information. Which you then use in future marketing. This is how you keep your lead funnel full. A great offer begins with an irresistible hook. Identify the problem your clients want to solve. Consider what they may ask Google or research in their search to solve their problem. Then, use that search to create a valuable free download. Here are a few examples: Free Guides and eBooks such as "A Fathers Guide to Winning Custody" or "5 Essential Tips to Building Your Own Vegetable Garden at Home" Pre-recorded video training like "The Top 5 Beginner Mistakes in Investing" Whitepapers such as "Should You Invest in a Reverse Osmosis Water System?" Create an Awesome Landing Page So you have a great hook, something your audience finds value in and now it's time for you to create your landing page to generating opt-ins. This landing page should be visually attractive, easy to read, and entice your leads to enter their information in exchange for your free gift. Avoid making your landing page cheesy and cliche. Replace overused calls to action (CTAs) like "Subscribe" or "Join" with more inviting phrases like "Get the free ebook" or "Send me the deals." The sole purpose of this landing page is to get people to download that free offer. Follow up with a beautiful thank you page after the exchange to keep building the relationship. Drive Traffic to Your Landing Page Once you have your offer and landing page ready, it's time to get as many eyes as you can on that page. Organically, you can use your social media to address the problems your followers have and send them to the link in your bio as...

Let's preview today's show... Being in financial services for over 20 years now, I've found that most retirees worry about running out of their life savings because they are no longer getting a paycheck. So I specialize in managing their investments to provide an income that is predictable, consistent, safe and can even increase every year, no matter what the market does. Ultimately giving them the peace of mind they desire throughout retirement.   The title of the show today is "Should You Invest in Crypto currency in Retirement?" Over the past few months I've been getting a lot of questions about investing in gold... which is  nothing new honestly, because whenever there is inflation or market correction concerns, gold is usually the topic of interest. But lately I've been getting more and more questions about crypto currencies, like Bitcoin for example. So we're going to discuss, at a high level, what crypto currency is and whether or not it makes sense to use it as part of your retirement income planning.   Later on in the show we'll resume talking about beiing "Social Security ready, a fact sheet for ages 49-60".    Questions about your planning? -Schedule a call with me TODAY..!

Should You Invest in a Startup Fund Choose broad or narrow investing to meet your goals Today, we'll talk about investing in a fund and choosing between a narrow or broad investment thesis. When does a fund make more sense than direct investments? A fund works best when you are not familiar with a sector or geography and don't have the time to research and learn more about it.   Also if access to the deals is time consuming or difficult, then the fund may be a better approach. If the funding requirements are greater than your resources, then you may want to invest through a fund. For example, some sectors require several millions of dollars to participate in a deal so it's a good strategy to pool your funds with others to participate. Finally, funds provide diversification that can be more difficult to achieve with direct investments.  Should you take a narrow investment thesis or a broad one? Start with your investment goal and then ask if a narrow or broad thesis is the best way to accomplish it. In some cases, it makes more sense to become a specialist say in fin-tech payment or medical device companies.   On the other hand, if you want to invest in startups in your local area to support the community then a broad investment thesis is better.  Thank you for joining us for the Startup Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today!

Investing in your business can be one of the most focused, strategic, and productive financial decisions you can make.  If the environment and the indicators are right.  That's because your business is one of your best investments. However, if you listen to the conventional perspective of typical financial planning, you'll be led to believe just the opposite.  A recent conversation highlights this prevailing mindset perfectly.  After speaking to a roomful of business owners, I talked with one successful business owner.  He remarked, “It's risky to invest in your business.  After all, most businesses fail, and it's better to invest your money with people who know what they're doing.” He's not entirely wrong, and we're all entitled to our own opinion.  However, this is a limiting belief that often holds business owners back from reaching their financial potential.  It's like they have each foot in two separate worlds.  They're building their business with their time, energy, and mental capacity to build a successful, thriving business on the one hand.  But on the other hand, they're hedging their bets wondering if it's worth investing in, or whether it's all going to collapse.  As a business owner, how do you build the real path to wealth?  There will come a time when you must decide whether to invest in your own business or to put your dollars to work somewhere else.  Should you invest in your business, or should you diversify?  How do you think about your business in the grand scheme of building long-term, sustainable, extraordinary wealth?  In today's conversation, we answer: Should you invest in your business?Is it risky to invest in your business?What's the best way to reduce the risk of investing in your business? We'll share our perspective to help you gain clarity and freedom to make financial decisions that align with your value system, congruent with your goals and objectives, and move you closer to time and money freedom. You'll gain confidence and peace of knowing you're making the right decision of whether or not to invest in your business.

Deciding where to invest is just one step in the bigger journey to time and money freedom.  You need to have all of the pieces in place to produce wealth systematically. That's why we have created the 3-step Business Owner's Cash Flow System. It's your roadmap to take you from just surviving, to a life of significance, purpose, and financial freedom. The first stage is the foundation.  You keep more of the money you make by fixing money leaks, becoming more efficient and profitable. Then, you protect your money with insurance and legal protection and Privatized Banking. Finally, you put your money to work, increasing your income with cash-flowing assets. Investing is part of stage 3.  It's the step where you turn your money into more by investing in the best opportunities that help you achieve your goals.  Should one of those opportunities be your own business? Should You Invest in Your Business? First of all, in finance, there is never a blanket, one-size-fits-all answer.  As with making any prudent and responsible financial move, it depends.  Your unique set of financial circumstances, stage in business, and profitability largely determine the wisdom of investing in your business.

Let me tell you about another one of my failures. A few years ago, I was listening to a well known podcast and I heard about this concept of turning single family houses into elderly care facilities.  The idea sounded pretty compelling so I decided to go to the “course” in Phoenix. In fact, I […] The post 166: Should You Invest in Assisted Living Facilities? appeared first on Wealth Formula.

Last week, I got a few emails wondering why I was sending out “scammy” emails from my friend Teeka Tiwari about investing in pot. Actually, I totally understand. If you don’t know Teeka, those emails might sound a little bit like snake oil advertisements. As you know, I pride myself on not being a platform for […] The post 164: Should You Invest in Marijuana? appeared first on Wealth Formula.

The beginning of the year is a good time to reflect back on what happened last year and what types of things you want to do differently in your business this year. One of those, I am hoping, is investing in yourself and in the growth of your business. That is why I wanted to bring up the topic of today which is how to decide if you should take an online course. There are so many different choices out there. How do you decide? It’s a lot more difficult when people are online because they aren’t right in front of you. You might have less of a connection and recently discovered them. How do you make sure you’re not throwing money away with your online course selection? Is it worth laying out that hard earned cash in hopes of getting the result you’re looking for? Over the course of my professional career, I’ve taken my share of courses. I’ve gotten wiser and more analytical when I’m trying to decide if a program is one that I want to invest my time and money in. I’ve created an evaluation system I run through every time I’m considering an online course. Let me share it with you. Should You Invest in That Online Course?Check #1Does it fit with what you need to know now? [3:56] Online marketers use a strategy called scarcity. [5:33] Someday but not today. Filter things that you’re doing. [6:29] Check #2How qualified is the person who put together and is teaching the course? [7:25] The instructor is the creator of the course, captured all the information. [7:37] The instructor actually lived and learned what they’re teaching. [8:41] Beware of scammers! [10:01] Make a choice through evaluation, intuition, research and knowledge. [10:58] Check #3CAUTION! Do not equate number of social media followers with credibility of their stated qualification. [11:27] There is the ability to buy followers out there. [12:06] A little bit of research: Look at their website. [12:27] Check #4What is the style of the presentation? [13:10] Review of the four checkpoints. [14:53] Join our this quiz (https://quiz.leadquizzes.com/q/Ky85Vd) to find out. At the end, you’ll have access to a free download to help you along. P.S.

#54: It's the first Monday of the month, which means I'm fielding questions from the audience. We start with a question from Nicole. She's a new listener, and she's stuck in a confusing situation. You see, Nicole is self-employed. She'd like to save a percentage of her income -- but she doesn't get regular paychecks. How can she automate her savings, when she doesn't know how much she'll make each month? She asks a second question, as well. Nicole has $15,000 in savings and wants to buy her first rental property. However, she's intimidated by the unknown market. What should her first steps be? Next, we move to a question from podcast listener David. Should he invest his emergency fund? David is contemplating putting his emergency savings in the Vanguard Immediate-Term Investment Grade Fund (VFICX). Is this a good idea? Saul, another podcast listener interested in real estate investing, recently sold his home and has a decent chunk of change. Should he buy a 3 bed / 2 bath townhome with a small commercial space on the first floor? Or should he buy a duplex? Podcast listener Albert is wondering: should he buy a home for himself, and rent it out a few years later? He'd like to travel and work remotely. What are the downsides to this idea? It can't be that easy ... right? Finally, Abbey started a personal finance blog, and wants to know:     When should she start promoting her blog?     How much content should she write?     Does she have to share her blog with her friends and family, or can she stay anonymous?     Should she write about other things besides money and travel? I tackle these questions in this month's edition of Ask Paula. Enjoy! -- Paula P.S.  Trying to make a decision?

This week we’re looking at investment ideas for 2016. For example, Mining stocks, banks, emerging markets and high yield credit all fared poorly last year but in our first interview, Psigma's Tom Becket explains to Morningstar Editor Emma Wall why these are the areas you should consider for your 2016 portfolio. After an exciting 2015 for Japan, does it still offer opportunities for growth in 2016? Morningstar's chief investment officer Dan Kemp reflects back on Japan’s performance last year and considers its prospects for the year ahead. Should You Invest in Bonds in 2016? As UK and US central banks raise interest rates this year, so too will bond yields - and the price of bonds will fall. Up next, Emma Wall discusses if there is any merit in holding fixed income in 2016? The U.S. economy is mostly insulated from a slowing China, but that doesn’t mean a smooth ride ahead for global stock markets. Bob Johnson, Director of Economic Analysis at Morningstar explains why China’s woes could cause global stock Market volatility. Commodity markets may be volatile but stock valuations are compelling when balanced with funds able to bet against other expensive equities explains Premier’s Multi-Asset Growth & Income Fund Manager Simon Evan-Cook.
