Fear of failure is one of the most significant stumbling
blocks to growth and success---growth and success for individuals and for
dental practices.
It is simply easier to
do what you have always done.
It is safe
and familiar.
The corporate world risks failure with every new venture,
whether in manufacturing companies or in
service businesses. Do these
organizations always succeed? No, but
these enterprises realize that without taking an occasional risk, there is no
chance of succeeding.
Think about this the next time you, the dentist, or a staff
member suggests a positive change for your practice that may take some effort
and seem a bit risky. Put in the extra
effort for the extra measure of success and pride of accomplishment. Dare to do it!
