We'd love to hear what questions you have. We love your comments Please keep participating. Please keep jumping in and thank you so much for watching on Facebook live and the live feed on Wcobm.com and YouTube so Welcome back All of you work in areas where culture and attitude or essential success and Bianca I've seen an oral health myth and I've seen on your interview today and all the times we've talked you have such a great energy How do you use that energy? How do you bring that energy because because that's that's hard to sustain, right? How do you bring that energy into creating the culture in your office and you said you're bringing a doctor on and So Shamar will be the one that she'll tell you how important on-boarding is We're gonna we're gonna link you two up after the show to make sure you have a little talk But but how are you gonna? How are you gonna use that energy? How are you gonna get all your doctors and assistants to bring that same energy and same dedication to your patients? So one of the biggest things my leadership style is I lead by example And so I would never ask any of my team members or my doctors to do something that I've never done before and I think one of my I'm sure my team members their favorite story of me is see me mop Just because you know if they're busy working their butts off taking care of patients And I see there's this myth and you know a mess on the floor I'm gonna go ahead and clean up and it sets the example that no task or anything like that is below me Even though I'm the business owner and for that reason, you know, we're just a team and we all work together for that common goal Okay, Shamar we talked a little about this in your segment that that culture is so important How do you help your clients develop that culture piece, right? Not just the processes and the how you do it But how do you what's the best advice you've got for your clients or for someone out there with a business to develop that culture? If they don't have this really natural high energy personality, how can they develop a strong culture in there in their? business I I have to agree with her, you know, I'm the same way I tried to make sure that I also lead by example One of the biggest thing as a business owner is to always, you know, put yourself out there Surround yourself with people that can drive your your company forward and create that culture Based on that, you know, it's important to understand your mission your vision and what direction your company is going So that can allows for your business to grow and the people to grow with you So how do you find those people because there's a lot of people out there looking for jobs? How do you find the right people for your business? I believe that the way to do it. I'm a big believer of a gut feeling You know, of course, you're going to always look at the What they can bring to the table as far as the duties and responsibilities within you know The role in your organization But you also have to have some type of chemistry or connection with the person that you're bringing on board And they have to essentially support your vision and your mission and what direction you're wanting to go We always talk about that in terms of you've got to think about your own personal values as a business owner How do your personal values translate into your organizational values and in addition to looking for that technical skills fit How you know, what are the things you look at you? It's about creating crafting those interview questions writing them down Crafting those interview questions that are gonna they're gonna pull that thread on somebody's personality in there without coming out and going Hey, yes, tell me what tell me what your values are So many times before like a wrong hire sent me back Yeah, the wrong hire can set you back and and so what how can someone who's maybe made that mistake brought in that wrong hire? We all stumble we all fall how can how can someone get that energy back at that culture back then that they that they need To get for their business to get it growing in the right direction again Well, she's absolutely correct on leading by example because that's truly You know, it rolls down from the top exactly, you know So even though you had a hire that didn't work out very well It didn't work out you're gonna attract somebody new that's gonna work in there And you just continue looking but the more you continue to do the right thing The more you're going to attract that as well and asking the right questions to get the right person in and following your intuition Intuition is huge. We need to develop that even more follower intuition listens that gut feeling because how many times have you said, oh Shouldn't have done that, you know, and it could be something simple or as serious as hiring somebody Yeah, and intuition is such a neglected part of our critical thinking process and our decision-making process And it's very hard to reconcile those things if you're if you're really living by the critical thinking book and the intellectual honesty and Watching out for logical fallacies sometimes that tells you to disregard your intuition And it's really important as a leader to blend those two things together to to to recognize the intuition But to also grasp that critical thinking piece and put them together So to kind of blend it into into a good decision-making process. So you all own your own businesses What is the biggest lesson you've learned on in your own business? You know, I would have to say exactly what you said lead by example I won't ask my clients to do anything. I don't already do, you know And having your own business put in the work put in the time and do what's right because if your heart's in it It's not really work Be that example. Okay, and now you can say anything you want, but lead by example I've found is the biggest realization I've found is that not everyone is going to be equally as invested in your business as I am because I am the business owner. So how else do I find how else do I get my other teammates? Engaged in my goal. So it's really taking an interest in what they're doing Trying, you know, I invite them into my home like really just take taking that connection a little more personally And realizing what drives them and helping them Exactly how is working at my practice helping you achieve your goals and I'm guessing they didn't cover that in dental Covered counting teeth and whatever Drilling and filling and I just I want to take a second because we've had a couple people come in I want to say hello Donna. Thank you for joining us today. Donna Curram's on my glasses on I don't like to wear them on TV. So I Well Donna if you think she's not doing a good job in the show You want to come refute what she has to say you can come on the show any time you want We'd love to have you so so yeah, so they don't cover this stuff in dental school and and these these are kinds of lessons So what what is your I mean you you teach business owners a lot of lessons. Yes What's a lesson you've learned running your own business owning your own business one of the biggest lessons? I've learned is To understand that not every client is going to be your potential the right client for you You know, it's important to make those connections with the people that are truly interested in working with you And surround yourself with people that want to support your business and want to Essentially grow with you. So that was one of my biggest thing is, you know, just understanding that Clients are going to come my business is going to grow and just take my time as I continue to grow and not rush it The right fit will come along and sometimes it's frustrating. It's frustrating All right, we're just about halfway through the year We got about a month to go before we're halfway through the year It's time to start reevaluating our goals reevaluating where we're headed and thinking about new goals for the second half of the year If we haven't already tomorrow, what's something you want something big you want to accomplish in 2018? It doesn't have to be your business. It could be something personal too Biggest thing that I want to accomplish is to continue to be able to juggle it all, you know You know being a business owner you have your family, you know You have your business and you want both of those things to be successful And so you want to keep working towards making sure that those things are You know essentially good to go so that you know you you're as a business owner can continue to grow and know that you have the support of your Family as well. All right, you and me are gonna have after this we have a conversation about delegating and getting you and getting you some help So you continue to grow the business and have that great family life So, you know, what's something besides getting your new milling machine that you want to accomplish in 2018? Well, I just launched oral health minute and I'm so excited. I've gotten so much support so far I think in the last two months. I've already gained like 2,000 followers And so I just want to continue to grow that work on my production aspect of that and continue to reach more people Well, that's great. Everyone should go watch oral health minute a suit not now wait. Give me a minute and a half What's something you want to want to accomplish in 2018 in 2018? I am putting together the structure for actually school for kids to teach them how to think differently To instill these these concepts in them so that they learn at a young age instead of you know Trying to reprogram that that's great because that's so much of what we do in our lines of work is reprogrammed people To get rid of the limiting beliefs and get rid of the things that that they were taught or just kind of figured out on their own That may not be the best way to approach things for them.
