It was quite the week that.
The Dental Entrepreneurial Bootcamp finished on Friday at approximately 5:00 p.m. We had met everybody at about 8:15 a.m. on the Monday, it's full on.
Everyone was entirely exhausted (including us).
Exhausted in a good way, not a bad way.
Exhausted in the satisfaction of running a marathon, not a hangover from too much to drink.
There were 15 people on the boot camp, everybody with a different perspective, different objectives, different things they wanted to get out of it.
There was the most extraordinary individual who runs three practises in Kyiv in Ukraine, and one in Odesa. The technologies of which are way beyond anything that I've seen before in our practice or almost anywhere else.
There was someone from Latvia.
There were people from Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England.
People who were turning up who finally realised and decided that what they wanted to do was be better at running the business that they'd chosen to have.
There definitely has been a switch, this week, we've been approached from other countries to provide dental business education as part of the new collaboration between myself and Chris Barrow, but more and more people want us to teach them how to do implants, but also how to sell implants and count them and develop the system and train their TCO's and train their reception team.
Things are moving quickly.
Lewis MacKenzie was right, "dentistry used to be a business in which it was difficult to fail - now it isn't".
The fear of failure is a thing, because only the paranoid survive, but when you get paranoid enough, then you decide to learn about what you're paranoid about, to try and ward off the difficulty and the problem.
Things will not likely get a lot easier; things will likely get harder, but remember, as I've repeated here many times, what the extraordinary, famous and ground-breaking American cyclist Greg Lemond said, ‘It never gets easier, you just get faster’.
