In Episode 21 of the weekly podcast series What’s Next Dentistry we explore what takes many business owners by surprise, summer time. Even though this recurring annual event is familiar to all of us, it still seems most business are underprepared for the sunny season.

Listen to “Is your business going to have its best summer ever” about how to prepare your business so it can have its most productive summer yet! A little work now will allow you and your family to fill those beach chairs while your business back home is booming rather than sitting on the sand worrying about the office.

Is your business growing 10-20% or more this year? How about last year? Did you get the amount of money back from your taxes you wanted? See how to make this happen in Episode 17 of What’s Next Dentistry.

We all pay for professional services to help run the financial parts of our businesses. Often, we still have questions or simply don’t understand, even though we just spoke with our accountant. In these instances, we are effectively flying solo. It doesn’t need to be that way. If you have a question or don’t understand something, call us. We are happy to explain even if you aren’t a client of ours. If you business is struggling, call us. Waiting until tomorrow, so often, is too late. Call now (770) 691-5528. Listen to this edition of What’s Next Dentistry to find out what you should expect from your tax, bookkeeping and accounting team.

Take off your hat. Stop hiding underneath it. Tax, bookkeeping, and accounting teams aren’t all the same. If you don’t like or fully understand the one you have or they aren’t putting enough money in your pocket, perhaps it’s time for an upgrade?

Each month you should speak with a member of your financial team. Few people receive this level of service even though we could all really benefit from it. Finding someone you enjoy and look forward to speaking with is key. Hiding under a hat to avoid these discussions won’t help.

Come out from under the shadows into the light no matter what you look or feel like. It doesn’t matter. Come out today! Avoiding or not having monthly financial discussions only makes things worse.

If you feel uncomfortable or self conscious we want to make these important conversations interesting, helpful, and pleasant.

Your business should, and deserves to grow. It can if you have the right financial team helping you.

Listen to this edition of What’s Next Dentistry to find out what you should expect from your tax, bookkeeping and accounting team.

Dentistry is changing quickly, think back to the first time you saw a large dental office. Now think to when you heard of a group of dental offices with centralized back office services called a Dental Service Organization (DSO). As of 2018, 15% of all dental offices are DSOs and this has occurred in a short period of time. Check out Episode 14 – Dentistry Beyond DSOs of the podcast What’s Next Dentistry to hear more.

The following French riddle illustrates what may be happening with DSOs, dentistry, and YOUR Future. “A lily pad is growing in a pond and it doubles in size every day. After 30 days it covers the entire pond. On what day does it cover half the pond?

For a long time the lily pad seems small, and so you decide not to worry about cutting it back until it covers half the pond. On what day will that be? On the twenty-ninth day, of course. You have one day to save your pond.” – The Limits to Growth – A report for the CLUB OF ROME’S project on the predicament of mankind. Donella H. Meadows, Dennis L. Meadows, Jørgen Randers, William W. Behrens III – 1972

What is the doubling time for DSOs? We don’t know. However, for the moment, DSOs are growing quickly.

With this in mind let’s look now at the latest things happening in Dentistry:

1) Dental Insurance Companies hire participating dentists to work for them.

2) Dental Insurance Companies are buying and owning dental practices and DSOs.

Let’s look now to the future:

1) Medical insurance companies and other health companies buyout dental insurance companies.

2) Dental expenses are covered by medical insurance, which drives down the cost of care to patients.

The future of dentistry is unfolding right now and there is a lot happening. Check out Episode 14 – Dentistry Beyond DSOs of the podcast What’s Next Dentistry to hear more.

If you are entrepreneurially inclined I would love to speak to you and hear your opinion about the future of dentistry. Please reach out to me via LinkedIn or Dr.Sivers@Laeta.com to continue the conversation.

Each April the Boston Marathon takes place. In 2018 torrential rain and temperatures in the 30s forced 2,500 runners including 25 elite athletes to receive medical treatment. This year’s 122nd annual Boston Marathon was particularly grueling.

What helps runners in a marathon? How do they cope with the race and conditions? Many credit their success to more than being physically fit.

In Episode 16 of What’s Next Dentistry we explore lessons learned from marathoners and others who achieve great things. Some of what is shared is counter intuitive but the applicability to enhancing our performance is fascinating. Join me for Episode 16 of What’s Next Dentistry entitled Enhancing Your Performance: Giving Yourself the Advantage.
