Building a Vision for Your Practice

How Do You Build in a Down Time?
Times are tough.  It’s difficult to find anyone in our country who hasn’t been touched by the current economic condition.  Perhaps it is a family member, perhaps a neighbor, perhaps a patient, or perhaps you.  Have your retirement investments lost value?  Is your practice production down?  Are patients holding off on making treatment decisions because of the uncertainty portrayed daily in every newspaper, magazine and evening news report?

As our country’s leaders have told us repeatedly, we are in uncharted territory.  Now, more than ever, it is essential to have a clear vision of who you are, where you’re going and how you want to get there. A focused vision... understood and shared by the entire team, will be your compass in these turbulent seas.

In this podcast excerpt from our Top 10 seminar, Joan Forrest discusses the tools to use in developing your vision for building your dream practice.

Becoming a "Dawson Doctor" is a process that must be considered part of your personal goals for life as well as professional life.You cannot get there without evaluating all your goals and personal missions since it truly has to be a a part of your being.
Many of us may feel frustrated by the process of implementation of what we learn at the Dawson Academy,but I have found it very helpful to have done a thorough examination of WHY I am doing this.Once the process of self inspection is complete,it is beneficial to follow up with understanding of your behaviour style and what drives your behaviour.After that,staffing for your weaknesses is a great help.Being honest with yourself about what your roadblocks are will help you tackle them and address them so you will become the doctor that you envision yourself to be and have the team,patients and practice that will fulfill you.
A little patience along the way is essential.It is hard for many of us to accept that-I am no exception!
Good Luck!
