Mindset Calls: Strategic Planning and Leadership

3 Step Process for Strategic Planning

Strategic planning is essential if you are going to grow and thrive. But what is it really? Does it have to be complicated? Answer: No it doesn’t!

On this Mindset Call, Dave Frees, Rem Jackson and Dr. Peter Wishnie take all of the complexity and mystery out of strategic planning for your practice.

They will take you through the 3 step process:

• -Where are we now?
• -Where do we want to go?
• -How, specifically, will we get there?

These successful entrepreneurs fill in the blanks and make sure you can have a strategic plan that serves and guides you, your staff, and your decision-making, 365 days a year.

How to Institute Ongoing Practice Driven Training In Your Practice

In a recent Mastermind Meeting a rapidly growing practice described their biggest problem. They desperately needed to train their staff – and in this case, their Medical Assistants, but they were too busy to do it. And they were too busy because their staff wasn’t adequately trained. Catch-22 anyone? And, does this sound familiar?

If so, then you’re in luck, this expert team will explain how to institute an “M.A. University” in your practice. Get off the hamster wheel by having a well-trained sustainable team of A-List employees, regardless of the type of business or practice you own.

Why Napoleon Hill’s Cosmic Habit Force is the Secret to your Success

80 years before Jeff Olson wrote The Slight Edge, Napoleon Hill added the principle of Cosmic Habit Force to his 17 Principles for Success. The Slight Edge, The Power of Habit, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and almost every other significant book or course developed in the last 80 years is derived from Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich.

Professor Hill created 17 principles that constitute his formula for success. And the 17th principle, Cosmic Habit Force, was added much later as both Professor Hill and his students realized it was missing. In fact, it should be his first principle. Don’t let the “new age” or even “old-fashioned” phrase “cosmic habit force” throw you off.

This discussion between Dave and Rem is Slight Edge focus taken to a high level. We might live in the hi-tech world of 2016, but this timeless principle, and the tactics and strategies that support it, are the true secret of our members’ success.

The Millennial/Boomer/Gen X Communication Toolkit

The trials and tribulations created by perceived generational differences are plaguing many of our members. So often I hear “Well, he or she is a Millennial…that explains it.”

What!?! You can’t judge people by classifications, not even generational. You can only judge people one person at a time. Every generation has winners and losers, lazy and ambitious, honest and dishonest people. It’s been this way since we lived in caves and will always be that way. So never explain someone’s behavior by their generational group.

Having said that, there are great and many differences in how Boomers were raised, how Generation X’ers were raised, and how Millennials were raised and see the world. Our core values are exactly the same, but how we approach, in this case, our work IS different. Some interesting work is being done to examine this phenomenon and THERE ARE ANSWERS!

Dave Frees and Rem Jackson sort out the whole issue and give you specific strategies you can institute immediately to get your office on track and happily humming right along!

Part II:

Rem shared Michael Jordan’s Top 10 Rules for Success at the Top Practices Summit this year. You can watch it here and be sure to watch it before you listen to the mindset call.

Evan Carmichael produces a lot of these Top 10 Rules videos, but this one is particularly inspiring. Dave and Rem discuss the rules and revisit Rem’s speech from the Summit. It is absolutely what you need as we end 2016 and begin 2017.

– Are you building a head of steam?
– Are you wondering what now?
​- Or are you slipping a bit and need to get back on track?

No matter where you are, this Mindset Mastermind Session is just what you need.

Dedicated to Your Success!
