GAP Australasian-Dentist Issue 80 Jul-Aug 19

Category AustrÀlÀsiÀn Dentist 131 H ave you wondered when over 70 percent healthcare practitioners including dentists and doctors serve in the private sector why business is never taught at university level?

My 3 Ps for personal success are Patience, Persistence and Perseverance and above all the resilience À have developed to make things happen and the flexibility to adapt to any change that may occur. Àtarting with an end in mind and developing an exit plan helps you leverage the growth of one and build many more. Exit necessarily just doesn’t mean selling or retiring from practice. It means doubling your income by halving your working hours and creating time to do whatever you are passionate about including a hobby, travel or family time. While success leaves clues so does failures and most of the time 99% failures are the same.
