Dental Practice Success According to Jim “Make This Year Your Best Year Ever”
Jim Rohn, business philosopher, coached thousands of success entrepreneurs with straight forward wit for over 40 years. He grew up a poor Idaho farm boy but turned his own story into one of success that he shared with people around the world.
Jim was known for his quotes that pretty much summed things up. He used his talents to help others have their “Best Year Ever”, something we help and encourage our members at Dentist Profits to do as well.
Let’s examine just some of Jim’s quotes and how they can change your life and your practice.
“Start with wherever you are and with whatever you’ve got.”
Anyone can be successful.
It isn’t defined by where you came from or what kind of DNA you have. Each of us of the opportunity to rise up out of any situation, any economy, any geographic region… and achieve the success we desire.
“Be a student, not a follower.”
You need information to find the best solution for you and not to mindlessly follow someone off a cliff.
There is some effort on your part to discover that for yourself. That’s part of the process.
Never stop learning. Education is the key to finding help for any situation. You have the answers; you just don’t know the answers you need to ask.
“Success is the study of the obvious. Everyone should take Obvious 101 and Obvious 201 in school.”
Pay attention.
Look around you.
Find other who have been there before and take notes on how they did it. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel every time.
“Don’t mistake movement for achievement. It’s easy to get faked out by being busy. The question is: Busy doing what?”
Do you have clear, concise measurable goals that you must meet every day?
Do you accountability for your team and their contributions to the practice?
It’s hard to know if you are winning or losing if no one is keeping score!
“We all have two choices: We can make a living or we can design a life.”
Define your ideal lifestyle first, instead of worrying about how you are going to achieve it. Reverse engineer-work with the end in mind!
“If you wish to find, you must search. Rarely does a good idea interrupt you.”
Actively check for solutions to your problems.
Jim had a way with words!!!! He will be missed.
