Will it Be Retrospection or Prospection For You?
The most common New Year’s resolutions have to do with physical health, exercise and eating styles.
Every year at this time, the gyms, exercise classes, exercise equipment sellers and diet gurus sell a lot of their wares to us as we, well-meaning folks, make our new year’s resolutions.
And after our money leaves our wallets and our lives keep rolling along, our resolutions are shelved til another year.
Our “should’ve’s” imprison us. (I should’ve told my mother I love her; I should’ve started working out; I should’ve…).
How about, instead of New Year’s resolutions that you’re going to try to do for a while, how about you change your philosophy, to create powerful results from the simple daily activities of your life. Use tools you already have. Your attitude creates your actions, your tiny actions create your results - and your LIFE changes.
“Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced every day.” Jim Rohn
Each and every tiny action can be changed a tiny bit for the better, and if you do that every single time, you’re on your way. The joy from these tiny achievements start the miracles flowing through your life.
To your miraculous 2019!

Happy Ortho New Year!
Starting an orthodontics program in a general or pediatric dental practice is a great idea. There are six areas in which the dentist must become skilled in order to do this well. Starting soon, we will teach a comprehensive orthodontics course, consisting of six sessions addressing these same topics. The course -- offering 20 hours ADA CERP credit -- is a great a learning opportunity for dentists.

With the new year just a few days away, we can look forward with optimism, confidence and new planning.
Wait a minute.
Did I say optimism?
Am I writing for dentists?
Yes.
The dental world is changing. Big insurance, big corporations, big government -- pressures from every direction affecting American dentists.
There is something you can do about this — that’s where the plan comes in.

You already have the talent. After all, it took courage, intelligence and determination to graduate from dental school in the first place. Harness all of that to learn the skills to do more than just survive -- but to prosper!
Having a thriving orthodontics program in your practice is a great way to address these issues — and I put an emphasis on ‘thriving.’ I will teach you how -- not just the PRACTICE of orthodontics, but the BUSINESS of orthodontics and the LOVE of orthodontics.
Here's your opportunity to do just that. With the six-session ELEMENTS comprehensive orthodontics course, you can expect and get the best. The first session is January 11-13 in Longview, Texas. REGISTER for your course today - call (859) 806-0615.
For more than 25 years, I've taught many dentists from around the world -- Pediatric, GPs and Orthodontists -- about orthodontics. I've treated thousands of orthodontic patients, and served on faculties of three dental schools. This knowledge and outstanding results can be yours, too.
In 2019, start learning orthodontics for your practice. Start America's BEST comprehensive orthodontics course on January 11-13, 2019, in Longview, Texas. For more information or to register, all (859) 806-0615.

Success comes to those who tolerate what 99 percent of people avoid, and who avoid what 99 percent of people tolerate. In dentistry -- in fact, in ANY profession, you can become a legend. You've got the talents. You have a gift to rise above the 99 percent. Here's how to use that gift to become legendary, indeed.

Research shows that beautiful people find better jobs -- and find them more easily. Beautiful people are smarter, considered more trustworthy and earn more money. By practicing orthodontics, you can help make this happen in the life of your child patient.
The effects of orthodontics on facial beauty cannot be underestimated. This is especially true with early treatment orthodontics, and there's lots of research backs it up.
