Success happens because not only doctors were trained,<br />
but equally as important so were their teams.<br />
Over the years we have seen a lot<br />
of wonderful dentists be able to Help<br />
Others as a result of having a successful<br />
practice. They have donated<br />
their services and paid lab fees for<br />
those who may not be able to afford<br />
their services. A while back, immediately<br />
after Katrina, the <strong>LVI</strong> family<br />
quickly raised over $100,000 to be<br />
distributed to some dentists who<br />
were devastated by this disaster. All<br />
this happened in a few short weeks,<br />
not months to years like many other<br />
agencies had taken during the crisis.<br />
Finally, taking control of your own<br />
practice with new found skills will<br />
enable you to Get Organized. We<br />

I typically used a “trail and error”<br />

in my practice. If something<br />
worked, I would stick with it. If not<br />
I would try something else. More<br />
commonly, I found that even if I established<br />
business systems that were<br />
effective they were not adhered to by<br />
all of my team. Success happens because<br />
not only doctors were trained,<br />
but equally as important so were<br />
their teams. This greatly increases<br />
the chance of success for dentists<br />
when they return home. Getting or-<br />

same in your personal life too.<br />
I am not sure what the failure to<br />
success rate is for committing to all<br />
of your New Year’s resolutions. I am<br />
sure it has to be pretty high. That is<br />
why you tend to see the same resolutions<br />
show up year after year. If you<br />
want to increase your chance of actually<br />
sticking to this year’s resolutions,<br />
taking a single course could<br />
begin to lead you on the road to success.<br />
On behalf of all of us from the<br />
<strong>LVI</strong> family, I truly wish the best for<br />
all of you and your families throughout<br />
the year.
