I don’t know anyone who is completely indifferent to the new year, even if they aren’t the type to make resolutions. The beginning of the year always feels like turning a corner, especially after the holidays. There’s always a sense of anticipation about something.
A year is a big chunk of life, and remarkable things can happen. You may have milestones to look forward to, such as births, anniversaries, celebrations and achievements in your family. You may have certain goals you want to achieve, or things from your bucket list to experience.
Purpose and intention
I think a good way to live your life is with purpose and intention that each year is better than the year before. Not necessarily better in every conceivable way because we can’t stop the march of time, and our priorities change through the various stages of life. But certainly, each year can be better than the one before in the areas that have become meaningful and relevant to us at the time.
Most people follow a time-honored journey as adults through the stages of education, starting their career, establishing their home, beginning their family, achieving economic stability, career advancement, personal goals, etc. That process of achievement and evolution continues year after year, decade after decade, for your entire life.
My goal at Endo Mastery is for every doctor to feel ready and empowered for whatever priority, goal or “next thing” they want in their life. For example, as you are raising your family, you should have the resources at hand to provide a wonderful home, to share great experiences together, and to live with every advantage that can bring freedom, joy and fulfillment in your family.
While everyone self-directs those goals and what they mean for their own family, what everyone has in common is that they need the time and economics so that their family’s life is empowered and abundant, rather than a struggle and scarcity. That’s where the practice comes into the picture.
Practice power
Endodontics is a wonderful profession, and it can be a great economic foundation on which to build a truly exceptional and amazing life.
When I figured out how to run my own practice in a way that was low stress and high productivity, with great time flexibility and economics beyond compare, there was such a transformation in my personal and family life. There was nothing I couldn’t do for myself and my family. It was all available to us and continues that way to this day.
No matter what your goals and priorities are this year, and no matter what stage of life you’re evolving to, the first step should be to ask yourself how your practice can evolve to empower you and remove any limits or struggles you feel.
The sky is the limit, and most endodontic practices are drastically underperforming compared to their potential. You’d be so surprised how easy the practice and your life becomes when you close that gap. We see this transformation over and over again in our clients, and we love when they tell us how lucky they feel to be living beyond anything they ever dreamed.
So, the corner is turned, the year begins, what’s next for you? If you want to know more about your practice potential and how the practice can empower your best life, let’s talk about your vision and goals with a practice analysis meeting. It’s free advice that’s worth your time.
