How to Manage With Personal Circumstances (a Personal Episode)
In this frank, and very personal episode, Brad talks about his personal outlook upon dealing with the challenges and obstacles that life can throw at us. KEY TAKEAWAYS Now more than ever, our goals for the future are being disrupted by the chaos of life in general, and can derail the plans we have for ourselves. While many in business see freedom from the actual work as their endgame, dentists in general have very different outcomes planned, as their very profession requires them to be ever-present. All negatives must be seen as lessons. By applying a positive narrative, we can turn obstacles into positives. Too much disruption can create huge benefits, but for those in seek of equilibrium, it can seem like an imbalance, and can lead to disenchantment. BEST MOMENTS ’There’s a real balance between doing things for your business and doing things in your business’ ‘We must always view things through the prism of opportunity' ‘When life is tough, when times are hard, we can at least fall back upon the skill of being a dentist' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Dental Business Podcast ABOUT THE HOST Brad believes that everyone at any level should be focused on achieving multiple sources of income to create diversity and balance in life. He feels passionate about helping dentists work towards freedom by building wealth in different areas and helping to develop a mindset to improve one’s ability to handle the stresses of clinical life. Still a practising dentist, Brad has implemented strategies to create a practice to allow him to carry out the dentistry he wants whilst continually expanding with loyal staff and patients. These strategies can be adapted to any dentist, whether you are an associate or the practice owner, to help bring back your passion for dentistry. In addition to running a successful private dental practice, he has grown several other dental businesses and as an investor is growing wealth outside of dentistry to help protect his legacy for his growing family. He is chair of the Horsforth Town Team, dedicated to the promotion and development of business in his local area in North Leeds, UK. Due to his track record and down to earth advice, he has become sought after as a mentor and spends part of his time dedicated to mentoring dental professionals about business, mindset and personal development.
