Productivity and Time Management

For many dental business owners, the main challenge of today is how to ensure we spend our days productively, and manage our time effectively.   In this week’s show, Brad offers some practical ways in which you can keep busy, keep those energy levels high, and ensure that you come out of this stronger, and with renewed purpose.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Recognise when your peak time is during the day. If you’re a morning person then get out of bed and attack the day. If you’re an afternoon person then plan for that.   Creating a structure gives your day a shape. You’ll be far more likely to feel a sense of satisfaction and achievement, especially if you get the troubling jobs out of the way first.   It’s especially important to care for plan patients at this time. Those paying monthly fees deserve attention and open, transparent communication about dentistry in general.   An inventory at the end of each day will allow you to see your achievements, and will inspire you to do well the following day.   BEST MOMENTS   ‘If you want something done, give it to a busy person to do’ ‘Make sure that your customers are still getting some value’ ‘It’s about building goodwill. It’s about building the brand’ ‘Be present. Stay in front of people’s minds. Be there for your patients'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Dental Business   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.   CONTACT METHOD Brad Thornton Instagram Brad Thornton LinkedIn Brad Thornton Facebook
