This is part two of Sully's chat with Dr. Tarun “T-Bone” Agarwal. In the last episode, we talked about how to take your practice further faster. Today, we kick things off with the difference between a dental practice and a dental business. T-Bone stresses the importance of having a business that allows you to do the procedures you want and work the hours you want. He also talks about bringing in associates and how to sell your practice for 4X instead of 1X. We discuss how a partnership is like a marriage and how true leadership comes from having skin in the game. We also discuss the possibility of unlimited earning potential and how the dental business mindset is about sustainability and creating a great lifestyle for yourself and everyone else around you. You can find T-Bone here: T-Bone Speaks T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast 3D-Dentists Tarun Agarwal on LinkedIn Tarun Agarwal on Instagram Raleigh Dental Arts Show Notes: [02:16] The difference between running your practice and running your practice as a business or the difference between a dental practice and a dental business. [03:49] With a dental practice you are the clinician and the dental practice leader. T-bone wants to see people move towards owning a dental business. [05:25] It's better to own one practice as opposed to two. [09:25] Growing from 1 million to 2 million has an overhead of about 45%. [12:17] There is no point in growing a business if it loses the culture of you. [12:42] A dental business gives the owner the ability to take almost unlimited vacations and can operate without you. It's all about flexibility. [14:04] By bringing in someone else, you create a passive income stream. [14:51] You can also sell 25% four times. [18:47] A dental practice will have an earning ceiling, but a dental business has unlimited earning potential. [20:13] Owners can afford to take time off. They need another practitioner to keep the rest of the team working. [21:46] We go through seasons of life. The dental business mindset is about sustainability and creating a great lifestyle for yourself and everyone else around you. [28:19] T-Bone is convinced that we will see nurse practitioners and PAs in the dental office during his lifetime. [29:54] You need a dental business so that if there's a family emergency you will be able to go deal with it without closing down your practice or business. [31:22] Flexibility gives us choices to do what we want to do. [32:39] What are the steps for young dentists to take to get over that first hump having a business mindset. Have financial flexibility and control your spending. [35:12] Early on, it's more of a spending problem than an earning problem. [35:57] Don't get into the mindset of if you earn more you need to spend more. [36:20] You need to live underneath your means and create financial margin. [37:00] Treat your business like a business by paying yourself as an associate. [37:33] Associate pay is usually 30%. Pay yourself 30% of what you collect. This will allow you to create the mentality of what your business actually does. [40:14] Once you have a mortgage you're tied to it. Renting can allow you to save money and have flexibility. [41:55] When you treat your pay mentally like a business, you can then start making good decisions. [43:19] The T-Bone Speaks podcast is going to have a 3 part series on associates. [43:45] The time to get serious about bringing in an associate is when you're earning around a million. [44:20] A good business prepares for their future. You have to start getting ready for adding an associate before you do so. [49:11] Don't waste your time scrimping and saving, learn new procedures and ways to earn more money. [49:56] You want your team to focus on growth. [51:00] If you're only doing a few of something, you are way better outsourcing it. [52:59] Don't take certain procedures in house until you have reached critical mass with them. [53:29] Your energy and focus should be on building a practice that can sustain two doctors. [54:43] Focus on creating an environment and culture that can do more procedures. [57:19] Everyone should have an associate, and it would change their lives. As always thanks so much for listening!

One of our favorite people Dr. Tarun Agarwal is herewith me today to talk about the Millennial Mastermind event we will be hosting together in January. Dr. Agarwal is known as T-Bone and the host of the T-Bone Speaks podcast. He also the founder of Raleigh Dental Arts. He is excited about sharing his experience and mistakes with younger dentists to help them move forward faster. He has been a mentor of mine and had a huge impact on my life and practice. Having accountability and access to a group of like minded individuals makes progressing so much faster and easier. There will be weekends, monthly coaching calls, individual sessions, and the ability to have office meetings and watch clinical dentistry. All aspects of dentistry will be covered from clinical, business, and mindset including short-term, medium-term, and long-term thinking. You can find our Dr. Tarun Agarwal here: T-Bone Speaks Podcast T-Bone Speaks Facebook @Tbonespeaks on Twitter Tarun Agarwal on Instagram drA@Raleighdentalarts.com Raleigh Dental Arts Show Notes: [01:40] Dr. Agarwal feels that a millennial mastermind will allow him to make the most impact while also having a positive impact on himself. [01:56] He wants to disrupt and help people figure out how to get on the right track. [02:48] Dr. Agarwal has had a ton of success and a millennial mastermind and giving back is really his sweet spot. [03:22] Dr. Agarwal is only 42 years old. He has been in the business for almost 20 years. [03:53] He started a practice from scratch and had to deal with insurance issues. [04:29] Great things happen when you put together a small group of motivated individuals who want to achieve great things for themselves and others. [04:48] Dr. Agarwal calls himself experienced not an expert. He pivoted from a fee-for-service practice to an insurance based practice to focusing on cosmetics and adding services. [05:36] The mastermind is about helping people and assisting young dentists to getting where they want to be faster. [06:05] The first two years of your practice are the most important of your profession. [06:35] This is great for other people who want to be part of a group and associated with those who are trying to push the envelope. [07:00] Dr. Agarwal feels that people spend too much time consuming information and not enough time doing and practicing. [07:52] Another important thing is to actually define what you want and what your values are, so you know that the things you are trying are in alignment with what you want. [08:20] Short-term thinking is about survival. Medium-term thinking is about creating the procedures and practices that you actually want to do. Long-term thinking is about generating personal balance. [09:50] They'll also cover clinical aspects in the mastermind group. Dr. Agarwal wants people to gain from his experience and mistakes. His wife will also talk about the mental attitude. [11:34] There will be weekends, monthly coaching calls, individual sessions, and the ability to have office meetings and watch clinical dentistry. [12:16] Accountability is a huge part of the mastermind. [13:53] Dr. Agarwal has been a great mentor for Sully. [14:59] If you want to participate get in touch with Dr. Agarwal or Sully. [15:43] The first weekend is in January. [16:02] Dr. Agarwal promises that it will be worth it, or he will personally write you a check. As always thanks so much for listening!

Holly graduated from the University of Colorado in 2016 and is now working as an associate dentist in Denver.

Text ‘bulletproof’ to 345345 to stay in the know about our upcoming book release and the Bulletproof Summit in fall 2018! Bulletproof Dental Practice Podcast Episode 58 Hosts: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak Guest: Dr. Tarun Agarwal, owner/dentist Raleigh Dental Arts, owner T-Bone Speaks Watch the full video of the interview by clicking here! Key Takeaways: Make sure you’re not being oversold by predatory companies offering horrible insurance and investment planning. Review your estate plans every couple years. It’s not about how rich or poor you are, it’s about preventing your loved ones from inheriting a storm. The cost of maintaining a healthy office is significantly higher than it was 15 years ago. We should be shooting for profitability in the 10-20% ballpark. Profitability should be based on all your normal expenses, plus the following: Each dentist (including yourself) should be paid as an associate Build in an escrow dollar or percentage amount (2-3%) for future improvements, renovations, and technology gains Interest amount (5%) on capital put into the practice “All things under one roof” – medical and dental – is the future of dentistry. Cottage industry offices as we know them will be displaced in certain environments. Approximately 80% of offices are solo dentists. The believe is within 10 years this number will drop to closer to 50%. If you’re going to stop practicing within the next 10 years you’ll probably be fine. If you’re planning to practice longer than that you will get hit by these changes. Put away money on an annual basis to cover renovations. Make sure you’re getting fulfillment in your professional life, as well as in personal. If you design your business around you and make yourself happy, others around you will be happy as well. Focus on outcomes, not goals. People aren’t doing enough live training. The magic is being around people and interacting with others.

In our final interview from the Voices of Dentistry Podcast Summit 2018, we go out with style! Our guest this episode is none other than THE Tarun Agarwal, DDS— commonly known as T-BONE! He came all the way from Boston, Mass. to be with us in Scottsdale, Arizona. On this episode, Justin and T-Bone are joined by Mike Freimuth, Randy Houska and Gabe Olson (who is still standing at this point, which is amazing). In it they go into a bit of banter back and forth before going into details about a charity campaign that will ultimately raise $50,000 for a charity of Sully Sullivan's (from the Millennial Dentist) choice, in exchange for shaving his head! More details on that to come. Unfortunately, this podcast came to an abrupt halt mid-way through because someone touched the record button and paused recording, unbeknownst to everyone. Yes, we're amateurs. I guess that's always a danger of drinking on the job! Anyway, please enjoy what we have recorded from this podcast and definitely check out T-Bone's podcast, T-Bone Speaks, if you haven't already. Cheers!
From the Website:Each episode the T-Bone Speaks podcast will bring an inspirational message to help you achieve clinical, financial, and personal balance in dentistry. Website: Www.tbonespeaks.comOpinion:The intro is good, but when you come on your audio is pretty bad. Get closer to the microphone to cut down on the reverb. Dr. Jergensen had a good story but you are talking about grapes, wine, and location. Either tease the audience or just get to the good stuff. Nobody cares about wine, this is not a wine show, it's about Dentistry, talk about Dentistry. It's ok to chit-chat with your guest before the interview, just cut it out of the show. Nobody cares about how many acres his farm is.

The T-Bone Speaks podcast series on Millennial dentists continues with today’s interview of Dr. David Scardella. T-Bone’s purpose for this series is to show young dentists that their debt does not need to hold them back, to encourage dentists of all generations to relate well with one another, and to raise awareness of what is coming in dentistry so that he and colleagues of his generation don’t become part of the “old school” that doesn’t know what is going on.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tbonespeaks/message
Every medical practice needs to focus on the issue of patient retention. It’s the bread and butter of the entire office team. Retaining patients happens not just because you are good at what you do but because of the personal touch and genuine concern you have for your patients. On this episode of T-Bone Speaks, Tarun speaks with a dentist from his own neighborhood, Dr. Jennifer Matthews. She tells how she got into dentistry, why the personal touch with her patients is so important to her and her office team, and the goals she has for the next year of her practice. It’s a very interesting conversation that turns toward very practical tips you can apply to your practice today. Be sure you take the time to listen. Patient retention happens because of the EXPERIENCE you give your patients. Patient care is definitely part of the experience you provide to your patients. Do you do your work with excellence? Are things explained to the patient’s satisfaction? Do you do your--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tbonespeaks/message
