During these trying economic times, it seems we are all experiencing some measure of fear of the unknown. Fear can be totally disabling for many people and they can no longer make decisions because the future is so unclear.
You must ask yourself these 7 important questions:
1. Am I running an efficient dental practice?
2. Is my staff completely trained to provide the best care and customer service to our clients?
3. Are practice expenses under control?
4. Am I marketing for new patients?
5. Am I retaining patients?
6. Am I able to take home a good income for my family?
7. Am I maintaining my production and collection goals?
If your answer to any of the above questions is “no” then you need to take steps to get your practice in order for the next couple of years. The best thing you can do for yourself, your staff and your patients is to get rid of your economic fears and take the action you need to insure your business will be healthy and profitable while this country rides the economic storm of uncertainty.
