It seems like every week we are on a teeter-totter about whether we’re facing recessionary forces. Some weeks bring amazing economic news, while other weeks feel world-ending.
Will interest rates go up? Will the jobs report be revised downward by a million jobs? Who really knows?
But, here’s one thing I can say with almost 99% certainty: our future as dentists and clinicians depends on our business and clinical skills—those are the most important things we should focus on. Not the economy. Not the stock market. We have 100% control over our skills and attitude.
Should we ignore the economy? No, but we need to treat it like a sparring partner in martial arts. If the economy jabs, we need to block. If it gets too close, we need to back away.
We need to be keenly aware of what’s happening but remember that most of our success comes from our own business acumen, systems, and skills.
With that, I want to invite you to be part of the #1 most trusted community in dentistry—Dental Success Network. Whether you want to get better with implants, learn more about sleep apnea and devices, or become the most well-rounded CEO of your dental practice, we have hundreds of hours of content and instruction to help you become a black-belt business owner. We are giving you a 7-day free trial so you can check out what DSN has to offer!
We may never know with certainty what the stock market or overall economy will do from month to month, but we can always rely on our own skills and experience to get better every day. If you’re into self-improvement, we would love to have you in DSN.
Be well and do well,
Addison Killeen
