2010 is the Year to Decide

I want to start by saying that in order to get what you want, you have to know what it is that you want. Now that sounds simple and easy to understand, but more often than not when asked to describe what it is that you want many of us are not able to explain exactly what that is. One of the primary reasons people have this dilemma is, they can't see how it's possible for them to get what they want. Studies now prove that before the brain can figure out the how it must first know the what. And once you commit to your desires the universe can assist by bringing what's necessary to you, so that you can accomplish your goals.

I will cover a few key points for you to consider in positioning yourself to receive the maximum benefits. First, when you dream, dream large, that's right the large dreams not only compel others to help you with your dreams, they also inspire you to stay focused. Your subconscious creative mind will start to come up with ideas to help you achieve your dreams. And believe it or not you will begin to attract resources, people, and opportunities into your life to help as well. Another reason to increase the size of your dreams is because of the growth that you receive by accomplishing them.

* Always remember that you also need to figure ways to be of service to others, by incorporating this technique to your mind, and your being, you will notice your goals and dreams coming to you at a rapid pace. Because people need and desire to be a part of something that makes a difference.

* After you have decided exactly what it is that you want,you will need to implement a system of checks and balances. This will allow you to measure the amount of time necessary, and require a end date, without inserting these types of measures, the results will not be achieved in a timely manner. An example would be, I want to run 3 miles in less than 18 minutes, by the spring so that I can qualify for the track team on March the 21st. Understanding just how effective these techniques are will make your goal setting experience much more enjoyable.

* Here are some of the areas that you can start to make your goals, remember to try and make at least 2 for each area and always add an ending date. Career, Financial, Health, Relationship, and Personal Growth. Remember it is a MUST that you know exactly what it is you WANT.

3 Steps to Increase Production Through Hygiene in 2010

Has your hygiene department production flat-lined? Are you under-utilizing your hygienists' skills for observation and assessment and their ability to connect with your patients. Now is the time to change all that. You'll be blown away to see how some simple changes can create more than $100K in additional production next year.

Here's the bottom line: If you could increase hygiene production by $150/day or just $19/hour, 2 hygienists can increase their annual production total by almost $60,000!

If those same 2 hygienists each enrolled at least $1000/week in restorative treatment, that boosts your production by $96,000. Together, that's over $150,000 in increased production for your practice. I'm not going to leave you hanging. I'll tell you how to get there and it's really not that hard.

Step 1- Pump Up Perio! I preach this every other month and I won't be quitting anytime soon. The fact is that if two hygienists enroll just 10% of their current patients into active perio therapy and then perio maintenance, hygiene production will increase by $60-70K in the first year. You better believe their are more than 10% of your "prophy" patients that have perio disease right now.

Step 2- Empower your hygienists to help you enroll restorative. Remember: The first step is to spend time educating your team on your treatment philosophy and get all Docs in your office on the same page, too. Enrolling $1000/wk out of each hygiene operatory is very conservative. The trick is, those patients have to actually schedule that treatment for those dollars to show up.

Step 3-Financial Arrangements and Follow-up! Every patient that is presented with either perio treatment or restorative treatment should never leave your office without a written and signed financial arrangement. If you don't have a financial arrangement form, create one. Make this Priority #1 for the new year. Patients that are confident say YES. Patients that are confused say NO. Make it clear how you make it easy for them to pay. Make it clear what portion of the fee they are responsible for and when it's due. Then follow-up! If the patient isn't ready to schedule that day, then put them on your follow-up list and ask for their permission to call in 2- 3 wks, and then DO IT!

Bonus Step 4- Share this with your team! Talk with your hygienists about what you'd like to see happen in 2007 and then support them in accomplishing it. Give them the support they need to develop and implement a perio protocol and make technology accessible so they can use it for perio charting, taking intra-oral photos, etc. AND, share the increase. How can you share the growth with your team next year? Implement a plan for a Team Bonus, Profit Sharing or Team Trips. These are just a few of the ways you can acknowledge your team for their dedication to you and your patients.

Who I am - Nick Jonas & The Administration Lyrics

Copyright: Hollywood Records and Nick Jonas. I like this song by the way as Nick sings and because I saw the video, which certainly is nice. But I feel something is missing ... I do not know, is a bit boring or maybe very basic. What do you think? Say your opinion, please no bad words or insults. Thank you! Happy new year!

Grand National 2010 Weights Declared

On Saturday, April 10 2010, the John Smith's Grand National will take place with a record prize fund of £925,000 so competition for a place among the forty starters is fierce as it is the only race in which the British Horse racing Authority's Head of Handicapping, Phil Smith, can use his discretion to determine the weight each horse will carry.

The weights were announced on Tuesday 16 February, in London at the Official Launch of the 2010 John Smith's Grand National attended by connections of many of the leading contenders and such is the quality of this year's entry that only 14 of the 111 remaining entries are not currently in the handicap.

Since then there has been much discussion about the various horses and which of them will ultimately make it to the final day without being scratched off the list over the next few weeks.

The highest weight attributed to any one horse was 11st 10lbs and, as it turned out, three horses were allotted this and they are Albertas Run, Madison Du Berlais and Notre Pere. Interestingly, this was the highest weight in the 2009 Grand National also when it was given to Cloudy Lane who unseated his rider, Jason Maguire, at fence fifteen.

The lowest weight, 8st 12lbs, went to Offaly, an Irish nine year old trained by Pru Townsley. A weight this low and one that puts the horse at 111 on the list of possible runners essentially puts him out of contention. In fact, only horses that made it in to the top 75 of weights are most likely to make it in to the race after the scratchings take place over the next few weeks.

Last year Cerium was number 75 on the list and made it through and coincidentally he is number 75 on the list again so his trainer, Paul Murphy, is hoping that history will repeat itself this year as well as Cerium came in a respectable fifth place in 2009 and Murphy believes that he is in even better shape this year.

Ante-post favourite Tricky Trickster has been given 11st 4lbs following a successful run in the AON Chase at Newbury. The Paul Nicholls trained horse will run off the same weight as the Newbury runner-up Niche Market, winner of last season's Irish Grand National. On paper Tricky trickster looks to be the better of the two horses with more consistent form under his belt but Niche Market is a couple of years older and with that comes experience and stamina that ultimately counts for far more at the Grand National.

Last year's winner, Mon Mome who carried 11st back in 2009, has been allotted an additional 7lbs for this year and is the highest weighted of the three former winners who are still in contention. Comply Or Die, who won the 2008 John Smith's Grand National off 10st 9lb, has been allotted 11st 5lb this year, 1lb less than he carried when finishing second to Mon Mome last season. Silver Birch, who carried 10st 6lb to victory in 2007, has been given 10st 5lb this year.

There are 111 horses still in the running for a place on April 10, of which 38 are Irish trained. The deadline for the first scratchings is March 2 with second scratchings deadline being March 23 2010.

Six Things to Consider While Buying Corporate Gifts During Xmas

Christmas is that time of the year when we turn our thoughts towards choosing the right Xmas promotional gifts. For many, this task could be a tiresome activity, but many enjoy this gift selection task. It is been said that 'the more thought that goes into choosing your gift, the more the recipient will appreciate it'. When it comes to choosing a professional gift during Christmas, a variety of factors can come into play. These factors include how well you know your recipient, what your budget is and what exactly you want from the relationship. As far as winning or maintaining a big contract is concerned, it really pays to be innovative at Christmas, and it doesn't have to cost a fortune.

Let us talk about a few tips for getting the gift selection task right without spending a lot of money.

1- Budget- Deciding on your corporate budget is important. This way you can get to know where to begin.

2- Make groups- You should divide your customers into groups by making different categories such as those with the highest spend, those with potential to spend more and those who have remained loyal for many years. With the help of groups, you can easily figure out how many items you need to source in each and every group.

3-Know your recipient- You cannot present a remarkable gift to your recipient until and unless you don't know him/her, their likes, dislikes etc. This is the reason why it is advised to take your time and think about the individual and then make sure of what to present. This way you will be able to avoid selecting anything that will make them dissatisfied.

4- Decide what you want to achieve- You must decide well in advance, what exactly you want to achieve from giving a gift. Do you simply want a smile on the face of your recipient after he/she sees your gift, or you want a long lasting gift that will remind them of you and your business or do you just want a personal thank you gift? Only after deciding the purpose of your gift giving, you will be able to present your recipients with the right gift.

5- Be inventive- You need to be inventive with your choice. There is a numerous range of business gifts available in the market that you can present to your business associates this Christmas or New Year. You can always ask your gift supplier for the details of latest Christmas gifts.

6-The impact of personalisation- Personalisation is a vital thing. Whatever gift you will choose, it will definitely increase its sentimental value, if the gift is personalised properly.

Choosing the right gift is necessary; if the gift selection you made goes wrong, it can create a problem for your business in the coming year.
