What COVID 19 Means For Your Dental Business

In today's episode, Brad is expressing the surreal nature of current affairs. This is the first time in Brad's career where there is so much disruption and discussion on whether Dental Businesses (and as an industry); How we are being affected, what we should do and what the future holds (not just next week or next month but tomorrow)?. Brad’s opinion has fluctuated back and forth between concern and hopefulness but he has come to the conclusion that we need to think of true priorities, not just as dental businesses but also as dental practitioners and human beings; where do we stand with our responsibilities? Do we close? Brad says we have a choice whether we close our practices or soldier on until otherwise advised to do so. Brad is carrying on with stricter protocols for patients, customers and staff to protect everyone and keep going and offering service to those who want and need it. When you reflect back on any event; no matter how hard or how challenging & testing it was to overcome at the time, you will see how it benefitted you in the long run. Having the ability to look forwards in the present, with this experience you can see it with positivity as an opportunity to grow, evolve and streamline your business (if necessary). Brads closing point is accepting this is here to stay for the foreseeable future; to plan for what is happening and take some control of the situation. Don’t sit on your hands, find others who you can lean on and who can help you. Help each other in this time of need.   VALUABLE RESOURCES Denplan - https://www.denplan.co.uk   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.
