This begins a series of articles focused on business growth and development based on the experience of dentists and industry specialists at the elite edge.
Over 24 issues, Levitch Design Associates share insights and explore step-by-step options for building your own best practice, based on 10 years of work with dentists at the peak of the profession.
The first question you need to ask yourself, in fact, the only question that counts, is how successful do you want to be?
A golden age in dentistry has only just begun, with a paradigm shift for professionals, as well as industry experts, innovators and clients. The changes may not be immediately obvious as the shift has not fully expressed, but if you've noticed that some colleagues seem to be `making it big', they are the ones who are already onto it.
This may be the second time in history that dentists have experienced this luxury, a fortune afforded by unprecedented access to sophisticated materials and tools and radical growth in demand for cosmetic procedures.
Industry leaders say we are now experiencing the beginning of a new wave that will change the very nature of the profession - at what point will you jump on?
Shifts this decade already mean that not only are old business models obsolete, but that it is now possible for dentists to choose where, when, with whom and how often they work, as well as how wealthy, time-rich, client-focused and personally satisfied they would like to be.
There is no secret formula for success. If you are able to describe your ideal working life, including the space you practice in, your attitude to work and how much you'd like to do, your relationships with staff and clients, the capital value of your business and a 10-year plan for your future - you will be able to create your own success.
Limiting factors like workload, client expenditure, consumer demand and sales possibilities are old news. The real news, if you are a dentist reading this article, is that the changes happening around you in the industry are inviting changes within you - it's time to seize the day!
