What I have discovered in almost three decades of consulting, coaching and training successful professionals is that possessing a clear understanding of who you are is far more decisive than a business plan. You do need to make plans, set goals, define objectives and develop smart strategies, but that is now what ultimately drives achievement and success. What provides that germination for success exists at the source of who you are. This source provides the power, courage, and intention to achieve. Acknowledging and understanding these principles will not only help you run a more successful business, but will help you become a more thoughtful human being - more grateful, more powerful adn more fully alive. And where you begin this journey is at the very source of who you are.

As a solo or small partner dental practice, you are probably now operating in a very different world from when you originally went into dentistry. More than likely, you find yourself working harder and longer these days. Meanwhile, practice expenses are rapidly increasing while revenues, patient visits, and revenues are falling. You find yourself unable to grow or even sustain your practice as you did only five years ago. The context of dentistry has changed. And it will never go back to the way it was. Book 3 in the Valuocity Series has been appropriately subtitled, Breaking Free from Solo Practice. This business fable presents the changes in the dental industry and dental practice and the options available for dentists with an eye on their futures. Just as it is possible to break free of the gravity of the Earth and go into space, it is also possible for dentists to break free of their own professional gravity, their belief that dentistry can only be delivered in a solo doctor setting.

Real leadership leads by influence and not by command and control. True leadership has the utmost integrity with vision, core values, and purpose. Real leaders honor their word, speak straight, and tell the truth. Real leaders ignite commitment in others and move people past pettiness, righteousness, and separateness. True leaders bring people together and do not tear them apart. Real leaders unite, not divide. Real leaders envision a future that works for all, not just for some. Real leadership creates a future that is possible and does not try to resurrect the past. Real leaders thoughtfully follow these twelve laws of leadership. When they deviate from these laws, their leadership loses strength; their followers stop following. The 12 laws of leadership are as follows: -The law of language -The law of integrity -The law of context -The law of responsibility -The law of self-awareness -The law of courage -The law of core values -The law of authenticity -The law of intentionality -The law of vision -The law of purpose -The law of contribution Recognizing and complying with the twelve laws of leadership will directly impact you being a better leader-more powerful, more thoughtful, more commanding, and more connected. Following the twelve laws of leadership will enable you to convert your vision into reality.
