Crank up the smiles today!

Have you ever noticed how when you are in a good mood, your patients pick up on it? Your staff is more enthusiastic, patients more willing to pay for treatment, and at the end of the day you are a lot more fulfilled. What some doctors fail to realize is that their energy is often the lifeblood of their practice and when they have an "off day", it creates a ripple effect through their staff, patients, and ultimately their productivity.

Here are my top 7 things you can do to get out of a rut!

1. Start your day with a workout! 30 minutes of aerobic exercise feels great and puts a spring in your step

2. Wake up 30 minutes early and spend 15-20 minutes planning out your day. Create a vision of exactly how you want your day to play out.

3. Feed yourself positive mental nutrition. Read a motivational book or listen to a podcast on your way to work.

4. Call 206-419-5407 and learn about my Practice Marketing Revolution Bootcamp. Make the decision to spend an hour a week with me to unlock the secrets of the modern practice and wowing your Generation- Y patients.

5. Become future focused. Do not worry about anything that has happened in the past - there is nothing you can do about it.

6. Set Goals. Set 5-6  goals that get you excited. My favorite is the SMART formula. S = Specific M = measurable A= action oriented R= Realistic T= Timely

7. Smile! A good smile is contagious so start spreading it!

The bottom line is: It's not what you know or what you do. It's who you are being. If you get stuck, choose a new way to be.
