If you’ve ever hired someone great, trained them for months, only to lose them six months later—you’re not alone. But what if the problem isn’t your people… it’s your systems? I’m sharing exactly how strategic systems for hiring, onboarding, and retention can help you build a loyal, consistent, and high-performing team. You’ll learn what’s really behind team members quitting (hint: it’s not just money), and what to put in place today to start improving your practice culture and stability. Whether you’re hiring right now or just tired of constant turnover, this episode will help you lead with clarity, keep your best team members, and reduce the stress of staffing issues. 🧠 What You’ll Learn: • Why turnover is more often a systems problem than a people problem • How to hire the right people, not just fill a seat out of desperation • Why onboarding is the most overlooked step (and how to fix it fast) • The key components of a 30-60-90 onboarding plan • How to create a culture of retention, growth, and accountability • Why hiring for attitude and values beats hiring for skills • Simple systems for team check-ins, performance reviews, and recognition 📌 Episode Highlights: • [00:02] Why staff turnover isn’t just about money • [05:18] How hiring out of desperation leads to bad fits • [10:44] What a great hiring system actually looks like • [15:31] Onboarding: the difference between chaos and confidence • [20:50] Building loyalty through systems and structure • [27:12] Retention strategies that go beyond a paycheck • [34:00] The power of assessments and structured meetings • [38:45] How to take the first step: Pick ONE system to improve this week 🛠️ Resources Mentioned: • ✅ Free consult for the SMDP Program: dryazdancoaching.com/consult (Don’t see a time that works?

    Episode 325- The Manual You Have for Your Team (and Why It’s Holding You Back)

    Links & Mentions: Consult booking link: www.dryazdancoaching.com/consult Email me: DrDYazdan@gmail.com Make more money video: www.dryazdancoaching.com/MDM Follow me for more tips: (@DrYazdan) www.instagram.com/dryazdan and (@DrYazdanCoaching) www.Instagram.com/dryazdancoaching Are you constantly frustrated with your team? Do you feel like no one does things quite the way you want — even when you’ve told them before? If so, you’re not alone… and you're probably running your practice from an invisible “manual.” In today’s episode, Dr. Yazdan breaks down the hidden expectations that might be sabotaging your growth, draining your energy, and keeping you stuck in micromanagement mode. She shares how to identify your “manual,” why it’s not working, and the step-by-step process to replace it with systems that actually scale. This episode is packed with real-world examples from dental practices just like yours — and practical tools you can start using today to stop spinning your wheels and start leading with strategy. 🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • ✅ What “the manual” really is (hint: it’s not a policy binder!) • ✅ How invisible expectations lead to frustration and burnout • ✅ Why micromanagement isn’t a people problem — it’s a systems problem • ✅ The 6 steps to replace your manual with real, repeatable systems • ✅ How to separate thoughts from facts so you can lead with clarity • ✅ The secret to handling hard conversations without emotions • ✅ A simple homework assignment to start cleaning up your systems now 🧠 Key Takeaways: • Everyone has a manual. It’s the unspoken expectations in your head that your team can’t read — but you still hold them accountable to. • Manuals lead to miscommunication, micromanagement, and mental fatigue. • Systems create freedom. When you turn your expectations into documented, trainable processes, you can lead with facts instead of feelings. • Training is not a one-time event. Systems only work if you continuously train and reinforce them. • Accountability matters. Tie every expectation to a measurable KPI to remove drama and keep performance clear. ✏️ Action Step This Week: Pick one area of your practice that’s causing frustration and ask yourself: • Do I have an invisible manual here? • Have I documented the process? • Have I trained the team thoroughly? • Is there a way to measure and track it? If not, that’s your next step. 🔧 Want Help Creating These Systems? This is exactly what we do inside the Systems for a Million Dollar Dental Practice program. We turn your hidden expectations into systems your team can follow — without you having to micromanage. 👉 Book a free consultation with Dr. Yazdan at dryazdancoaching.com/consult Let’s talk about where your practice is now, where you want it to be, and how we can get you there — without sacrificing your personal life. 📌 Resources & Links: • 💻 Work with Dr. Yazdan: dryazdancoaching.com/consult • 📥 Get free systems templates inside the coaching program • 🎧 Subscribe for more weekly practice growth tips 📣 Love the Podcast?

    Links & Mentions: Consult booking link: www.dryazdancoaching.com/consult Email me: DrDYazdan@gmail.com Make more money video: www.dryazdancoaching.com/MDM Follow me for more tips: (@DrYazdan) www.instagram.com/dryazdan and (@DrYazdanCoaching) www.Instagram.com/dryazdancoaching Let’s talk about freedom. Not just more money or more patients—but actual freedom in your dental practice. In today’s episode, Dr. Yazdan breaks down why lack of systems is the biggest bottleneck keeping dental practice owners overwhelmed, overworked, and underpaid. This episode is for the dentist who's already doing well—but knows there’s another level of growth and ease that feels totally out of reach. The answer isn't better staff. It's not more technology. It's building the right systems. 💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: 🛠️ Why no system = you becoming the system 📉 How chaos shows up daily when protocols are missing ✅ What makes a protocol effective, scalable, and actually used 👥 Why your team keeps coming to you for direction (and how to stop it) 📈 How systems unlock true growth—even when you’re not in the office 🧠 Why burnout, drama, and bottlenecks vanish with predictability ✨ Big Takeaways: • Protocols don’t eliminate problems—they reduce and predict them. • If your team can’t operate without you, you don’t have systems—you have assistants. • You don’t need to start over—just capture what’s working and simplify. • Growth without burnout requires predictability—and that comes from systems. 📝 Examples of High-Impact Systems: • Emergency appointment protocol • Pre-screening process for all new patients • Scheduling templates that protect production • Financial presentation scripts for case acceptance • Cancellation “rescue” systems that fill last-minute gaps fast 🧪 Real Results From SMDP: One doctor inside Systems for a Million Dollar Dental Practice cut their cancellation rate by over 10% in just 30 days with a simple schedule rescue system. ✅ Standardized confirmations ✅ ASAP patient lists ✅ Clear front desk templates ✅ Team incentives aligned to fill gaps quickly They stopped reacting—and started growing. 💬 Ask Yourself: • Where is chaos still showing up in your practice? • Is there a system for that? • Is it written down? • Is your team actually following it? If the answer is “no” to any of these… it’s time to fix that. 🎯 Ready to Build Real Systems That Set You Free? Inside SMDP, you’ll get the shortcuts, templates, and coaching to: 🔹 Build protocols that stick 🔹 Train your team to operate without micromanaging 🔹 Reduce burnout, drama, and decision fatigue 🔹 Scale your practice while working less 📅 Book your free consult to get started: 👉 dryazdancoaching.com/consult 📧 Don’t see a time that works?

    Episode 322 -Obstacles for success
    Oct 2 2025
    Consult booking link: www.dryazdancoaching.com/consult Email me: DrDYazdan@gmail.com Make more money video: www.dryazdancoaching.com/MDM Follow me for more tips: (@DrYazdan) www.instagram.com/dryazdan and (@DrYazdanCoaching) www.Instagram.com/dryazdancoaching today’s episode is a powerful one. We’re digging into what really holds you back from reaching your next level of success. Spoiler alert: it’s not your systems, your team, or your marketing. It’s YOU. Specifically—your mindset, your need for approval, and the mental drama you didn’t even realize you were stuck in. This episode came straight from a real-life conversation Dr. Yazdan had with a group of dentists, and it's full of the exact coaching she gives inside SMDP that leads to massive growth. 💡 In this episode, you’ll uncover: 🧠 Why strategy alone won’t get you results (and what will) 🔥 How your brain’s motivational triad keeps you small 🙅‍♀️ Why people-pleasing is destroying your authenticity 🗣️ The danger of drama bonding (especially in dental FB groups) ⚖️ The key difference between caring and over-carrying 💬 What to do when you’re worried about what others will say 💥 How to build emotional strength by embracing discomfort ✅ Key Mindset Shifts: • Success begins in your brain—not your systems. • Your results are a product of your decisions—and your thinking. • Approval-seeking is a silent dream-killer. • Drama is dopamine in disguise—and it’s draining your potential. • You don’t need to defend yourself. You need to decide who you’re becoming. ✨ Favorite Quotes from This Episode: “If you accept responsibility for everything, you have the power to change everything.” “Drama weakens you. Negativity bonding won’t grow your business—it just makes you feel ‘right’ while staying stuck.” “You can be a badass and still fail. In fact, it’s impossible not to.” 🎯 Ready to Create Real Change in Your Practice? You don’t need more how-to’s. You need tools to rewire your mindset, lead with clarity, and scale your practice without burning out. Inside SMDP, Dr. Yazdan helps high-performing dentists: • Dismantle the hidden mindset blocks slowing them down • Develop systems that run without micromanaging • Create emotional strength and a team culture that drives profit 📅 Book your free consult to see if it’s a fit: 👉 dryazdancoaching.com/consult Loved this episode?

    Episode 321- Why Your Marketing Isn’t Working — And How to Fix It for Real Growth.

    Links & Mentions: Consult booking link: www.dryazdancoaching.com/consult Email me: DrDYazdan@gmail.com Make more money video: www.dryazdancoaching.com/MDM Follow me for more tips: (@DrYazdan) www.instagram.com/dryazdan and (@DrYazdanCoaching) www.Instagram.com/dryazdancoaching If your schedule is packed, but your profits aren’t growing… If you're exhausted by high-maintenance, price-sensitive patients… If your marketing budget feels like it’s vanishing into a black hole... Then today’s episode is for you. In this episode, Dr. Yazdan shares the most common mistakes dentists make in their marketing—and exactly how to start attracting the right patients who value your expertise, respect your time, and drive revenue. You’ll learn: 📌 Why “we put patients first” is not a marketing strategy 📌 The 3 marketing metrics that actually matter (hint: it’s not clicks or reach) 📌 How to finally define your ideal patient—and speak directly to them 📌 What your calendar says about your messaging 📌 The biggest mistake dentists make with marketing agencies (and how to fix it fast) 📌 The internal marketing goldmine you’re probably ignoring 💡 Key Takeaways: ✅ Marketing isn’t about being available to everyone—it’s about attracting the people you’re best at serving. ✅ You get what you market for—so check your content, your ads, and even your Instagram captions. ✅ If your budget isn’t being tracked, it’s being wasted. Full stop. ✅ You don’t need to spend more—just market smarter. 🧪 Marketing Metrics that Matter: 1. Cost Per Lead (CPL): How much are you paying for each inquiry? 2. Lead-to-Patient Conversion Rate: Are those leads turning into booked (and kept) appointments? 3. Patient Lifetime Value (LTV): What is each patient worth to your practice over time? When you know these numbers, you’ll stop throwing money at random ads and start building real, sustainable growth. 💰 BONUS: Internal Marketing Strategies That Cost $0 (But Work Like Crazy) 📈 Review Collection Systems 📈 Referral Request Systems (with before & after books!) 📈 Reactivation Campaigns via email or text These three strategies alone can drive massive growth—without touching your ad budget. 💬 Favorite Quotes from the Episode: “You get what you market. Plain and simple.” “If you’re not tracking your campaigns, your budget is going into a black hole.” “Internal marketing is a goldmine—most dentists aren’t doing enough of it.” 🔥 Ready to Create a Practice That Attracts Ideal Patients on Autopilot?
