Do More By Doing Less
Spring is in the air, and with it comes the urge to declutter and freshen things up around your practice. But where do you start? It can all seem a little overwhelming.
As they seek improvements, many practice owners fall victim to the pursuit of perfection. We strive to create the ideal patient experience, the most efficient workflow, the most dazzling website, etc. But the truth is, the path to a thriving practice is paved with progress, not perfection.
• Good Enough To Move On (GETMO): This isn’t about lowering standards; it’s about prioritizing. Focus on getting the job done right, not getting it done perfectly. Get it good enough to move on, iterate later, and focus your energy on the next improvement.
• 1% Increases Add Up! Don’t underestimate the power of small, steady improvements. Think of it like flossing. It may not be glamorous, but those small, daily efforts lead to a healthier smile in the long run. Acknowledge these strides and their impact.
This spring, focus on making small, consistent improvements in your practice. Celebrate your progress, no matter how minor it may seem. You’ll be surprised at how quickly your practice blossoms (just like those spring flowers!).
