Did you know: Each position in your practice should contribute toward the practice's goals? Tiff and Kristy break down why each position should have a vision and specific metrics (starting at the job description), and how together, alongside all the other positions, they work toward the greater good of the practice. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript The Dental A Team (00:00) Hello Dental A Team listeners. I am so excited to be here today. I am always excited to be here today you guys I love podcasting I really really do and I love podcasting with other people more than solo and I get to pull consultants in and Britt from HR Headquarters over there HQ and Eve from marketing like I get to pull in just the most fun people from our team to Just double up and get some time with Kristy I've got you today and this is like our special time together and I just love it. So, and Kristy, I put you specifically at the end of my podcasting day. I hope you noticed that not just because of timing, but because you bring a sense of calm to my life and podcasting with you, not to say that it's not easy with anyone else on our team, but you really like, it's just so easy. You bring a sense of calm and ease. And I was like, that's what I want to end my day with. So thank you for. opening up your schedule to me and for being here today, Kristy, how are you? DAT Kristy (00:59) Good, absolutely. I love it too. I mean, we were just talking the other day because we don't get much time together and so I know we look forward to this time. now that I know you put me at the end of the day on purpose, I love it. I love it. I love it. Yeah, it's a good way to end the day. The Dental A Team (01:13) Surprise! Good. Well, I'm glad. know Mondays are busy for you. Our team does, we do meeting Mondays and so it gets a little jam packed, but it's nice because we get it. I feel like we get all of that admin stuff out of the way and we get aligned on actions we need to take for the week kind of all together on the same day. And then we just spearhead our week ready to go. Well, Kristy, ⁓ today is exciting. I I'm gonna actually pull in what we were just talking about. you guys, you guys know, avid listeners, you guys have been here. We've been doing this podcast for a really long time, you guys, and if you have ideas on things that you want to hear, please send them in because our little brains over here are just thinking of all of these things. Sometimes they feel like, did we just record this? It's like this content sounds so similar to something else we've talked about. And so I don't know how to label this one. But I want you guys to know we are going to chat today a little bit about job descriptions. And this is something that we find incredibly important. So we talk about it a lot. So I want to drive that home. They are so important. And Kristy, something that I recently recorded a podcast with Brittany. And something we talked about, part of that leadership skill, was being able to give direction to the team to execute decisions. as a leader, being able to execute decisions, being decisive and having execution as leadership, but also gifting that to the team. And we talked about the vision of the practice, kind of where the company's going and the leader, the owner, being able to utilize that for the culture of the company. But I kind of think right now, these job descriptions are the vision per position. It gives us our heading so that within my position in the practice or the organization, I can say yes, no, maybe, yes, this is the right decision right now for the company. And it brings about some clarity for everyone. Kristy, you, what do you think? DAT Kristy (03:28) Yeah, I love that you mentioned that because for so long, think we've all understood that job descriptions should have duties, right? I truly am a fan of duties versus titles, but also I think honing in on the other aspect of, think the duties, let me step back. The duties tell us what we're responsible for, but I think bringing in the other aspect tells us how the person should behave. And so I think they go hand in hand. And I think oftentimes we miss that other piece of it and then we get frustrated when we don't hire that person. The Dental A Team (04:11) Yeah, I agree. in ⁓ a layer on top of that, you mentioned job duties and kind of how to behave. But even within that ⁓ what piece, the job duties, the clarification on the job duties, if I know that my job, my goal of my position is to have the schedule full, maybe I'm a schedule coordinator, and my number one metric is 90 % full on hygiene for the next five days, 80 % full doctor, like whatever that metric is. If I know that's my metric, then I think, my gosh, this one patient, my how-to says confirmations. And step one is text message, email, text message, email, but I know this person is 85 years old and they're not getting these text messages. I don't have to question, do I call this patient? My job, my goal is to get that patient here for that appointment, no matter what that means looks like. So I think that vision and that ⁓ very clear cut, this is what the metric is of your position. I sitting in that scheduling coordinator position can say, Julie, at 85, I'm just gonna call her. I'm not gonna mess with the text messages and wait until three days before if I know she needs a call and we need to confirm her right. Like I have this information, but we often get asked, Kristy, I think. by different team members that they're like, well, can I do this? I'm like, well, does it get you to your goal? Is it a part of what gets the practice to our goals? Heck yeah, I think that's a great idea. It gives you the space to be creative, to get to the results that you need to get to, that are set as parameters because you know what you're driving towards. DAT Kristy (05:58) Yeah, you said that so well. So again, I'm with you. It's not just the duties and how we behave and perform them. But like you said, then we can tie it to what metrics am I responsible for? And one other piece behind that is painting the clarity. If it's 90 % reappointment rate or, you know, whatever metric I am responsible for. Now, what system comes behind that metric if it's not where I want it to be, right? So then I can pull up the system and say, hey, am I not working the system properly or do I need to find a new system because our system's not working any longer to get the result we want? The Dental A Team (06:45) for sure and that's where teams come to us, or office managers, and they're like, my team has no accountability, how do I hold them accountable? Or how do I get my team to hold themselves accountable? How do I get them to own their jobs? It's really hard to own something if you don't have complete clarity around that goal that you're working towards. And so having those smart goals with those metrics tied to them, Kristy, like you just said, allows that person then, like you've said, to work backwards from the result to see What did I do that got the result? Because anything you do, I literally just said it this morning, I say it all the time, even consistently being inconsistent is going to get you a result. Consistently doing anything will get you the result. And if your consistency lies in inconsistently, I'm always inconsistent, you're going to get a result. So knowing what your target result is in comparison to the result that you got allows you to backtrack and say, DAT Kristy (07:25) Yeah. The Dental A Team (07:41) Was I inconsistent in my utilization of my systems? Or is the system just flawed and I need to reinvent that wheel? Totally fine too, but it allows the space for that. And Kristy, the way you said it was it allows the person holding that metric to see it themselves and can to it, which takes training and it takes consistency from leadership to constantly point back to the metrics, to constantly be like, okay, ⁓ what what is your metric, your standard, and then what did you reach? And when there's questions that come up like, Kristy, like, do I call this lady? You're like, well, what is your metric? Does it get you there? And I think that consistency is that accountability piece that people are lacking. DAT Kristy (08:27) Yeah, I agree with you. ⁓ Just like you said, it's very easy once we've painted that clarity and we have understanding also for the team to report back to you. You shouldn't have to ask. But I also would say don't just report back. Report back and let them know your trend because maybe it is 90 % reappointment rate that we're looking at. ⁓ Literally, I was just on with an office that was It's almost embarrassing to say they haven't looked at their rates for reappointment. She's like 50 some percent and I'm like, yeah, that could be a problem, right? ⁓ Yeah, let's not focus on 50. Let's talk that the goal is 90 and let's start talking about your trend, right? So even if I'm reporting it talk about your trend where were you and where are we going? And then I also like to say with that TIF is recognize what's working well and reinforce the good. gets reinforced gets repeated, right? And then get team talking about what they will do to overcome any opportunities if we're not at the mark we want. The Dental A Team (09:36) Yeah, I love that. I love that so much. you just, you saying that about the practice, I'm like, my gosh, that's fantastic. Like 50%, that's not fantastic, but look at how much space there is to create something different. Like that's really freaking cool because practices come in and they're like, I don't know what to do. And I don't know why it's this way. And I just need this. And it's like, this is so cool because there are spaces. that are really, really simple to tackle that you just didn't uncover yet. And we get to come in and help uncover those. So it's like 50 % reappointment rate. That's fantastic because now we can implement two to three daily actions that severely change the projection in a company that you may have come to us thinking, and I don't know this client, I don't know what she or he was thinking like, but they may have been thinking like, my hands are tied, what do I do? how do I get more patients? I need more new patients. I hear that all the time and I'm like, well, what about the patients we have? It's so cool. So you just got me really excited about that. So I'm like, holy cow, I can't wait to hear these results. It's gonna be fantastic. But that's case in point. There's a couple of people that probably need that metric, right? A hygienist, hygiene team and scheduling coordinators, like they need these metrics because now they understand what their purpose is in the company and how they can contribute to the overall goals. DAT Kristy (10:40) Yeah. Yeah. The Dental A Team (11:02) Many doctors, I think Kristy, you and I both come across this, many doctors are really afraid, or business owners in general, to talk goals. And I think the piece that gets missed is that goals drive the courage to push forward in life. Without a goal, without a drive, we're just complacent. And so not talking about them and not talking about how each position can contribute towards those goals, I think is actually a disservice and holding people back. DAT Kristy (11:39) Yeah, I agree with you, Tiff. think a lot of times people get stuck because goals are related to a lot of times in dentistry, monetary amounts, right? But truly, it's no different than us at home. We have a checkbook and we have a bank account and we have standard bills that we have to pay. And it's not that we have to get nitty gritty on that stuff, but we all have to understand there's a cost of doing business unless we're a not-for-profit organization, you know? And so again, I love ⁓ how you and Kiera talk about the metrics aren't to beat ourselves up, right? It's not a stick to beat ourselves up with. It truly is just a measure of how healthy we're getting our patients. And the minute that we really get transparent about the numbers and what they mean and relate it to just like patient health and practice health, I mean, we always talk about getting our patients healthy. What about talking about a healthy practice too, right? And we need to let team know just because, I mean, we hear it every day as consultants, a practice could do $6 million and I could have another practice that does a million and the 6 million inevitably people might think is more healthy than a million and truly that's not the case. So we need to educate our teams and let them know those numbers mean more. And ⁓ truly it's a reflection of how healthy our patients are and how healthy the practice is. The Dental A Team (13:14) Yeah, I totally agree. I totally agree. And your individual metrics then add up to those results. So those of you who are building out the job descriptions, like yes, you need like a how-to, we need to know what those systems and protocols are. But separate from that, they need a heading. They need to know how do I show up? It's like, what are our core values? How do I show up in this position? If we've got, I don't know, a check-in spot, right? We've got a patient coordinator who's at check-in. DAT Kristy (13:19) Thank you. The Dental A Team (13:40) and her job description does not say you sit up straight, you smile, and you greet patients with eye contact as soon as they walk in, you can't complain when she's got her head down on the computer or she's got her cell phone and patients are walking in and they're not being greeted. So get nitty gritty on those spaces because that's easy to achieve, right? If she reads that or he reads that, it's like, ⁓ that's the expectation, that's how I'll show up. And then now that feeds into your reschedule rate. DAT Kristy (13:49) I can't. The Dental A Team (14:09) Right? Patients are like, heck yeah, I'm coming back. I love seeing Sonia up front. Like it just all feeds into one another. So I think breaking that down into what is this position accomplishing for my practice within the goals that we have set. So if this is my vision, why do I have this position? Why do I have a scheduling coordinator? Why do I have a dental assistant? And then some pieces I think that I promised Kristy we would talk about some positions that you don't always think about. Right? So like sterile tech. come on guys, there are so many sterile technicians running around that don't know what the heck they're supposed to be doing, there's no job description for a sterile tech and we just kind of run in the mill, let them figure it out, that's the dental way. So like sterile tech or, Kristy, one I know is really big right now is virtual assistants and I have a client who has an entire team of virtual assistants and Kristy, how important is it for the metrics? the job description ⁓ just in the VA space, so for the VAs, but how important is it for the team to have that VA job description too and know what they can count on those people for? DAT Kristy (15:21) ⁓ 100%. ⁓ The cool part with it too, Tiff, I mean, yeah, they need to know the expectations of what's being handled so they can hold them accountable just as any other team member, right? But also, I love, especially ⁓ offices where we're looking to develop leadership, when you have in an OM or a practice administrator, if you have a virtual assistant, what if... great opportunity for them to work with somebody to develop them, right? And you're literally paying them to be there and do a service, but yet your leadership team or developing leadership team can help them be accountable to the metrics, right, that the virtual assistant is there for. The Dental A Team (16:09) Yeah. Yeah, absolutely agree. I have a practice that was like, well, like, I know they're doing insurance verification. I'm like, cool. Well, one, how far out are they supposed to be? Like, what's the volume of insurance verifications they're doing? Because we've got some shifts in the front office. Could they take on calling on unpaid insurance claims? And they were like, I don't know. haven't. I have no idea what their time is like. And I haven't talked to them in weeks. I was like, ⁓ hold the phone. I'm going to I got to pick myself up off the floor real quick. Who's holding these people accountable? You've got to treat them just the same as you would if they were in your practice. And I think that's multifaceted. I have a practice who does really, really well with a couple of each spectrum. But one in particular does really well with virtual assistants because they create them to be part of the team. The virtual assistants do so much as to even show up for Daily Huddle. They're there with them. We have virtual assistants that show up for Daily Huddle. We know our VAs. practices that it's just like, they're doing this thing and they think of them as a separate entity. I think the VAs get lost. I think the sterile techs get lost. The sterile techs of the world are just lost in our dental field. And they're looking for that direction and they're looking for that drive. I think our VA, right, we've got a newly onboarded one as well, but our VA who just celebrated six months with us, I found out, he has incredible direction in his position. And I see that he finds fulfillment in the things that he does for our company. And that's really cool to watch and to see. I know we get fulfillment. It's very easy to get fulfillment as a consultant. Like we get to work hands-on with the clients every day. Same as a dental practice, you guys get to see the changes you're making in the patient's mouths, right? And in their daily lives, you know? So then to find metrics where it's like, no, even as a virtual assistant, even as an onboarded, outsourced billing company, like these are the metrics that are going to show us that you're actually adding incredible value to our team. And how cool is that to have that heading to be like, I get to go to work every day and I get to help this team do better for their community. And that's the piece that I just feel like is missing in a lot of different spaces. DAT Kristy (18:15) Yeah. Yeah, I love that you say that, Tiff, because a lot of, I mean, we're familiar, probably the most popular one is in the insurance realm, right? And so I know even a lot of the virtual companies will set up time to meet with the offices weekly, right? And so again, for the OM or the practice administrator, I'm like, how often are you on those? Not very often. I'm like, man, what a missed opportunity, right? Again, to develop your leadership and share with them. What's your expectations? We want zero claims over 90 days. And again, the metrics aren't to beat ourselves up. If it's not there, how fun to celebrate when, just like the re-care, right? When they hit 60%, we're gonna be celebrating because one little change, right? But painting that clarity, where are we going? What's my expectation? And then getting the team's commitment into how can we... The Dental A Team (19:17) massive. DAT Kristy (19:27) improve this, right? But I think you also mentioned something earlier, even outside of the virtual assistant realm, but all of our team members, how often are we meeting with them? And how often are we ⁓ taking the time away from the business to grow and develop them? Right? And review their metrics. Yeah. The Dental A Team (19:45) Yeah, massive. Yeah, and how do you do that if you don't know what you're reviewing? Like, how do you do that if you don't know what their accountabilities are? And how do you help grow someone? know one of the big pieces of leadership that we train on is being able to develop people and giving them a growth plan. And I remember being asked, oh my gosh, I don't even know. I was probably like 28, I don't know, 27. I might. boss, my office manager pulls me into the office for my one-on-one and she's like, well, where do you see yourself in five years? And I was like, I don't know. Like I think my only, that could be your position. Like what, I don't know what, I don't know what that means, right? Because in those positions in the practice, they don't know. They don't know what's possible, right? Unless they've been there before. There may be somebody who's maybe worked in another practice and she managed or worked in another practice and he saw this great manager he aspires to be, but most of the time we don't know. And so providing that growth plan, even within the job description of these are the metrics that I get to help grow those. So I can find growth and fulfillment within my own position because I'm growing the practice and growing these metrics. I don't need to take your job. DAT Kristy (20:45) Mm-hmm. The Dental A Team (21:03) I can be happy and satisfied in my own because it's written out for me and we're talking about it in the one-on-ones. We're seeing how, you know, where's my goal and how far away am I? Just the same as we're seeing the trends and everything else. So Kristy, I totally agree. Really my 28 year old brain would have been like, this is amazing if it had been like, here's some things that I see, you know? And otherwise I'm like, I don't know. Like how do I answer that? You know? DAT Kristy (21:29) Yeah. Well, and to your point, Tiff, with that being said, don't forget to rope in your virtual assistants and have those conversations with them too. Because I think, like you mentioned earlier, the practices that we see ⁓ truly utilizing virtual assistants well are incorporating them, right? They're sharing the expectation, but they're also giving them that feedback and they're treating them like a team member, you know? So if you guys are doing a bonus system, don't forget your virtual assistants or your sterile techs, right? Include them. They're a huge part of the practice. So. The Dental A Team (22:08) Yeah, yeah, and to your point, the team that I referenced that does really well with the virtual assistants, the virtual assistant that now does a lot of their scheduling started as insurance verifications and they grew her and she learned the schedule, she listened to the team on calls, they groomed her into that position so that she could take it on because she wanted growth. So I agree, I agree. So gosh, Kristy, this one became really, really fun. Thank you. for that and taking that journey. And you guys, hope that there are some amazing tidbits that you're able to pick up from here. The biggest one is know your vision, know your goals. Like where is your practice heading so that you can then dial in where is each position heading within those goals. That's gonna be massive. So job descriptions, yes, we can talk about job descriptions all the time. Go Google it on our page, like search it. You're gonna find a million of them. The big point today is the metrics. Like what are these jobs providing? towards your goal, what's inspiring them to do their work every day, and how are you talking about it and communicating it with them. So, Kristy, thank you so much. I love taking these journeys, and you made this really fun. I appreciate you today, and always every day. Yeah. DAT Kristy (23:20) Thank you. Thank you. Always back at you. The Dental A Team (23:24) Thank you, thank you. you guys, Kristy's always here for the fun, just expanding on what we're even talking about stuff. for her name on these podcasts. You will never be disappointed. You're always gonna love them. And as always, leave us a five star review. We'd love to hear what you think and we'd love to hear anything that you guys have in addition to what we talked about. We know we don't know it all. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. You can reach us there and we cannot wait to hear from you guys until next time

What if I told you your front desk could be replaced—by someone halfway around the world, who does it better, faster, and never calls in sick?That's not just a bold claim. It's the new normal for hundreds of practices working with JW Oliver and his global team at ZimWorx and SupportDDS. In this episode, JW returns to the podcast to share the real story behind building a team of 1,600+ remote professionals serving over 3,000 dental offices—while giving 51% of company profits to global ministries.But this isn't just a tech or outsourcing episode. We dig into the ethical side of virtual assistants, how most U.S. doctors are underestimating what patients will accept, and why your labor challenges aren't going away unless you embrace smarter systems. And yes, we geek out about luxury watches and Rolex being a nonprofit (you'll love that part).QUOTES“There's always a cheaper way—but that doesn't mean it's a better way. The question is: how are your virtual assistants really being treated?”— JW Oliver“If I had to build my practice from scratch today, it'd be under 1,000 square feet—with almost everything outsourced but direct patient care.” — Dr. Glenn KriegerKey TakeawaysIntro (00:00)JW's unexpected path from marriage retreat to founding SupportDDS (01:26)How he grew from 9 employees to 1,600+ and 3,000 dental offices served (02:10)The #1 task you should be outsourcing today (03:42)The virtual front desk: how iPads and remote teams are changing ortho (05:19)Why patients are more open than you think (06:17)Hidden costs of U.S. labor vs. remote talent (07:44)The danger of missed calls and burnout at the front desk (09:35)The “ethical trap” in outsourcing: how some VAs only earn $2/hour (15:46)Why ZimWorx invests in coffee bars, counseling, and team wellness (18:49)Rolex is a nonprofit?! Plus why horology is more than just status (24:56)The craftsmanship and legacy of high-end timepieces (28:45)Side hustles, giving back, and why JW is always chasing passion (34:49)Additional ResourcesI've said it before and I'll say it again—if your front desk is dropping 20% of your new patient calls, you're literally leaving money on the table. JW and his team don't just fill roles. They specialize in making your practice run smoother, leaner, and more profitably.

Az egész szezonban tapasztaltakhoz képest kicsit kevésbé gördülékenyen indult, ám csodásan ért véget Marc Marquez számára a Japán nagydíj. Vasárnap ugyanis 2184 nap után visszatért a MotoGP csúcsára és megszerezte pályafutása 9. világbajnoki címét, utolérve ezzel Valentino Rossit. Ráadásul Francesco Bagnaia hétvégi impozáns teljesítménye a garázs túloldalán is beindította az Indonéziáig zakatoló bolognai bulivonatot. De a többi fontos motegi történetszál is szóba kerül az adásban, mint a feltámadó Honda, az elátkozott Aprilia, a magányos Quartararo és a magát túlvállaló Acosta.
Oh my goodness, 100 episodes! I literally cannot believe we've hit this incredible milestone. When I started this podcast back in June 2023, I had absolutely no strategy, no plan - just this intuitive, burning desire to share the real, messy behind-the-scenes of what it's actually like to build a service business. And honestly? Thank God for my podcast manager because I had no clue what I was doing! But if you've ever thought "I'm not ready" for that business pivot, new offer, or big scary project, this celebration episode is going to hit you right in the feels. I'm getting emotional sharing six powerful lessons I've learned from starting scared, building consistently, and how these same game-changing principles can completely transform your business growth. Key Points Covered:✨ Start messy, then improve - Why I'm so grateful I didn't wait until I had it "figured out" and how building the habit first changes absolutely everything✨ Confidence comes through practice - How I went from "there's no way I could do a solo episode" to completely loving them (spoiler: confidence doesn't magically appear!)✨ Systems create consistency - The behind-the-scenes of how I've shown up for 100 episodes without missing a beat (even with a crazy new puppy!)✨ Authenticity is your secret weapon - Why showing up as your real, imperfect self is what creates that magnetic connection with dream clients✨ Honor your seasons - Getting real about why I'm taking my very first (short!) break and how to adapt without abandoning your goals✨ Connection creates magic - The unexpected opportunities and beautiful relationships that have grown from just showing up consistently Special Celebration:I am so incredibly grateful for every single person who has listened, shared, or connected with me through this podcast. To celebrate this milestone, I'm giving away a FREE coaching call! Email me a screenshot of your podcast review at andrea@dancingleafsolutions.com to enter. My biggest takeaway for you: You absolutely do not have to have it all figured out to start. Please don't wait! Build the habit, show up authentically and consistently, and evolve as you go. The magic truly happens in the messy middle of doing, not in the endless planning. Here's to the next 100 episodes!

Do you really have to train a VA?I used to think if I just hired someone “already experienced,” I wouldn't have to. Turns out that's not true—you always have to do some training. Even a senior programmer still needs to learn my processes, tools, and expectations.What I've learned is this: training isn't just about skills—it's about trust. And when your VA trusts you, they'll stick around, work harder, and even surprise you with how much they can do. Here's what I break down in this episode

In this episode of The Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down with Tim Francis, founder of Great Assistant. Tim has helped over 800 entrepreneurs and investors hire trusted, high-level domestic executive assistants—not virtual assistants overseas, but real partners who become an extension of you. Tim's story is remarkable. From losing $350K in the 2008 crash, to developing a rare illness that left him unable to walk for months, he had to rethink everything about business and life. That journey led him to discover the right way to hire and lead executive assistants, and ultimately, to build Great Assistant. We dive into his hiring process, why most entrepreneurs fail with assistants, and how the right assistant can free you up to focus on strategy, high-level skills, and relationships—the “surgeon in the room” work that only you can do. If you've ever felt overwhelmed juggling all the moving pieces of your real estate business, this conversation will show you how to scale sustainably. Key Talking Points of the Episode 00:00 Introduction 00:53 Who is Tim Francis? 02:35 The 2008 crash, $350K loss, and developing a rare illness 04:24 Spiritual turning point: chasing truth and mastery, not fame and fortune 05:40 Failing with five assistants and discovering a new hiring process 08:22 Hiring Sarah—the paralegal who changed everything 10:16 The Great Assistant formula: pairing trained assistants with trained leaders 13:15 Hiring volume: why they review 50–200 candidates per role 17:06 The difference between VAs and executive assistants 19:21 What makes a great assistant: complement, not clone 20:50 The surgeon vs. nurse analogy—strategy, skill, and access vs. admin 22:15 Practical example: prepping comps and organizing negotiation notes 25:28 Why you must live out of your calendar, not your inbox 26:49 Expense vs. revenue mindset—why an assistant is a profit center 29:53 Tim's upcoming book: arranging life to minimize regret 32:45 How to connect with Tim and Great Assistant Quotables “Your assistant will always be an expense on paper. But your relationship with your assistant will be the biggest profit center of your career.” “We don't want a clone of you—we want a complement. You throw the balls in the air, and they catch them and close the loops.” “A great assistant isn't about saving time, it's about helping you fulfill your potential in this lifetime.” Links Episode 152: Discover the Power of a Great Assistant, with Tim Francis https://sites.libsyn.com/101440/episode-152-discover-the-power-of-a-great-assistant-with-tim-francis Get a Great Assistant by Tim Francis https://greatassistant.com/book Great Assistant https://smartrealestate.com/greatassistant Apply for a Discovery Call with Great Assistant https://greatassistant.com/apply Tim Francis https://www.instagram.com/realtimfrancis QLS Live + QLS 4.0 at $199 smartrealestatecoach.com/qlspodcast Just QLS 4.0 at ½ off smartrealestatecoach.com/qls Coupon code: pod Apprentice Program 3paydaysapprentice.com Coupon code: Podcast Masterclass smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast Wicked Smart Books wickedsmartbooks.com/podcast Strategy Session smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast Partners smartrealestatecoach.com/podcastresources

In this episode of Soulpreneur Scaling Stories, I'm diving into why marketing feels so hard for VAs, OBMs, and service providers, and why it's absolutely not your fault. If you've ever stared at a blank screen wondering what to post, felt guilty about not being "consistent" with content, or wondered why marketing advice never seems to work for you, this episode will change everything.I break down the three major reasons why standard marketing advice fails service providers: wrong business model assumptions, wrong personality assumptions, and unrealistic time expectations. Most marketing advice is designed for coaches and course creators who ARE the product, not for service providers who are busy actually doing the work for clients.You don't need 10,000 followers - you need 10 amazing clients and solid referrals. Your marketing should be relationship-based, not audience-based, and it should honor your natural personality instead of forcing you into an extroverted box that feels awful. If you're tired of feeling like you're failing at marketing when really you've just been using the wrong strategy, this episode will give you permission to stop beating yourself up and start marketing in a way that actually works for your business model. Key Points Covered:✨ Why most marketing advice assumes you're a full-time content creator✨ The personality mismatch making "show up everywhere" advice feel terrible✨ Why relationship-based marketing beats audience-building for service pros✨ The simple two-platform strategy that works for busy VAs and OBMs✨ How to stop forcing yourself into marketing approaches that don't fit✨ Why one meaningful conversation trumps 100 random likesSend us a text Thank you for being a part of the Soulpreneur Scaling Stories community!FREE RESOURCES

Two first-time owners. Day-one chaos. Hockey-stick growth. In this episode, Mike and Matt break down exactly what happened after taking over a 30-year business: the awkward start as younger owners, the 60-day clean-up, the months of “flat” growth, and the breakthrough that took them from ~$100K/month to nearly $500K/month - FAST. We talk real tactics: digging into CRM data, testing multiple growth plays (including failures), finding the winning revenue vein, and building a team with in-person hires + VAs, SOPs, and rapid training. You'll also hear how weekly accountability calls with a fractional CFO changed the game—moving from “do more sales” to celebrating results. What you'll learn - The first 60–90 days after buying a business: what to fix before you try to scale - How to mine your CRM for patterns, pricing power, and hidden revenue - Why persistence beats “perfect strategy” (and how to know when to pivot) - Building a lean hiring + training machine (from 6 to 22+ employees) - The power of a sales scoreboard and weekly financial transparency - Structuring win-win equity so everyone is hungry for growth Who this is for - Operators buying their first business (or considering it) - Owners stuck at a plateau and ready to push for real scale - Leaders who want systems, accountability, and team capacity—fast

Exploring the Efficacy of BMAC and ADSC Injections in Knee Osteoarthritis Hosts: David Rosenblum,MD Overview: In this episode, we delve into a recent study published in the Indian Journal of Orthopaedics that compares the therapeutic efficacy of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) and Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) for treating knee osteoarthritis (OA). The study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of these regenerative treatments and their correlation with mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) cellularity. Key Points Discussed: Background on Osteoarthritis: Definition and impact of OA, particularly in older populations. Overview of traditional treatments and the shift towards regenerative medicine. Study Objectives: To compare the efficacy of BMAC and ADSC injections in symptomatic knee OA patients. To analyze MSC quantity and quality in harvested tissues from both sources. Methodology: Description of the study design involving 60 patients with knee OA. Details on patient demographics, injection protocols, and follow-up assessments (VAS, WOMAC, ROM). Results: Significant improvements in clinical scores for both BMAC and ADSC groups at 6 months. Discussion on the lack of significant correlation between MSC quantity and treatment efficacy. Insights into the success rates of MSC cultures from both bone marrow and adipose tissue. Conclusions: Both treatments demonstrated clinical improvements, with no substantial differences between them. BMAC showed higher MSC counts and faster recovery rates, but further research is needed to understand the underlying factors affecting efficacy. Implications for Clinical Practice: Considerations for clinicians when choosing between BMAC and ADSC treatments. Future directions for research in regenerative therapies for knee OA.

Is your Amazon business stuck on the “buy, sell out, start over” ride? Ed Dassey was right there until a hard look at consistency, cash flow, and simple systems flipped the script. In this conversation, Ed shares how he went from a sporadic side gig to $260K in 2020, nearly $500K the next year, and now heading toward $1M in revenues. You'll hear what finally ended the feast-or-famine cycle and why he now manages to a spend goal instead of chasing revenue. You'll also get the mindset shift that killed his imposter syndrome and the three words he uses to run the whole operation: Source. Ship. Sell. You'll learn: The #1 mistake that keeps new sellers stuck (and the simple fix that creates traction). Why weekly and monthly spend are better leading indicators than revenue and how to set a realistic spend goal. How Ed scaled OA with tools like Keepa, AZInsight, Tactical Arbitrage, Source Mogul, and Nepeto before rehiring VAs the right way. Practical ways to track expenses from day one so cash doesn't quietly leak out. A resilient mindset for when Amazon throws curveballs, plus the quote Ed leans on when things get tough: “What you think about, you bring about.” If you'd like to work with Ed, reach out to the coaching office.

Canada is lagging behind the U.S. in productivity—and here's one reason why: we're not using Virtual Assistants. While American investors scale faster with offshore talent, most Canadians are still doing it all themselves. In this episode, we unpack the Canadian VA gap—why it exists, how to bridge it, and how to tap into plug-and-play VAs who are skilled, motivated, and ready to help you scale smarter. It's time Canadian investors like you stopped leaving leverage on the table.
In this episode I want to talk about a very important topics for VAs ... identifying what type of VA you are. This is something I see so many VAs struggle with, especially when they're starting out, but also even years into business. The question comes up again and again: What services should I offer? Should I niche down? Should I just try to learn something that's in demand? Today I'm going to walk you through some of the thought processes that can help you get clear on this, without giving you a one-size-fits-all answer. Because the truth is, the “right type of VA” looks different for everyone. Now, if you're listening and thinking, “Okay, I get this, but I still don't know how to put all the pieces together”. Don't worry, I've got something for you. I created a fun and easy quiz called What Type of VA Are You? It's designed to help you identify your natural strengths and figure out how those can shape your VA business. It only takes a few minutes, and you'll walk away with some results and cool info that give you clarity about the services and direction that are the best fit for you. So after you finish listening to this episode, head over and take the quiz at YourVAMentor.com/quiz. I can't wait to hear what type you get! Remember, the best VA business is the one that's built around your strengths, your passions, and the clients you most want to serve. That's what I tell you every week and I'm here to help. It's the only reason I'm here at all, to help you become a ridiculously good virtual assistant. Thanks for listening. That's all I've got for you this week. I'll see you next time.

Exploring the Efficacy of BMAC and ADSC Injections in Knee Osteoarthritis Hosts: David Rosenblum,MD Overview: In this episode, we delve into a recent study published in the Indian Journal of Orthopaedics that compares the therapeutic efficacy of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) and Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) for treating knee osteoarthritis (OA). The study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of these regenerative treatments and their correlation with mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) cellularity. Key Points Discussed: Background on Osteoarthritis: Definition and impact of OA, particularly in older populations. Overview of traditional treatments and the shift towards regenerative medicine. Study Objectives: To compare the efficacy of BMAC and ADSC injections in symptomatic knee OA patients. To analyze MSC quantity and quality in harvested tissues from both sources. Methodology: Description of the study design involving 60 patients with knee OA. Details on patient demographics, injection protocols, and follow-up assessments (VAS, WOMAC, ROM). Results: Significant improvements in clinical scores for both BMAC and ADSC groups at 6 months. Discussion on the lack of significant correlation between MSC quantity and treatment efficacy. Insights into the success rates of MSC cultures from both bone marrow and adipose tissue. Conclusions: Both treatments demonstrated clinical improvements, with no substantial differences between them. BMAC showed higher MSC counts and faster recovery rates, but further research is needed to understand the underlying factors affecting efficacy. Implications for Clinical Practice: Considerations for clinicians when choosing between BMAC and ADSC treatments. Future directions for research in regenerative therapies for knee OA.
