Derek talks to former client Dr. Nick Schulte about his crazy past 12 months, and some of the challenges he's had and used, to become a better person.

They dig into tracking a single under-the-radar metric that points to whether production goals will be met. Conversation centers on using case presentation and treatment-planning totals as a diagnostic tool. Practical rules for presenting care, avoiding underdiagnosis, and simple tracking methods are highlighted. List tactics for converting large treatment interests are also discussed.

Steve talks about how being disciplined is more important than being naturally gifted for reaching your goals.

Derek, Justin, and Steve discuss the data behind the growth of TLP clients, and WHY they believe success is so prevalent in the TLP process.

In this episode Justin and Derek discuss 'typical' TLP client situation and 'who' tends to make the best client and see the most success. Also for good measure they talk about the smelly dogs in your office. (Seriously they do!)

Derek shares some of his recent personal findings and strategies to have a better practice and life through increased optimism.

A compact take on Pareto's 80/20 rule and why a few key actions drive most results. Discussion of the many roles dentists juggle and the danger of losing sight of priorities.
