As we approach the end of the year, today’s episode is here to give you a powerful mindset shift that could change how you lead your practice moving forward. Whether you hit your 2025 goals or not, this is a message you need to hear: Being “ready” is a myth. In this episode, I’m breaking down the 4-stage success cycle that every thriving practice owner goes through: Start → Suck → Learn → Get Better. You’ll hear how this applies to everything from implementing new systems with your team, to finally stepping into leadership, to just doing the uncomfortable things you’ve been putting off — like assessments, meetings, or setting expectations. Because let’s be honest… the perfect time doesn’t exist. You don’t need more reviews to start marketing. You don’t need a flawless team to lead better. You don’t need to wait until January to start making real change. You just need to start — messy, uncomfortable, and real. ✨ Progress > Perfection. 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • Why “being ready” is a mental roadblock, not a real one • The exact 4-step framework every successful dentist follows to grow • How to push past team resistance and leadership discomfort • Why starting now — even imperfectly — is the most strategic move you can make • Real-life examples from my own journey as a practice owner • Simple, powerful action steps you can take THIS WEEK to move forward 🛠️ Episode Challenge: Choose one thing you’ve been putting off in your practice because you “weren’t ready” — and take imperfect actionon it this week. Start the weekly meeting. Hold that huddle. Implement the system. Launch the marketing. Invest in the coaching. 🚫 No more waiting. ✅ Just starting. 💬 Mentioned in This Episode: 👉 Book your FREE consult to work with me inside SMDP and take your practice to the next level: 🔗 dryadancoaching.com/consult 🎧 Listen, Learn & Lead with Confidence If today’s episode hit home for you, don’t forget to share it with another dentist who needs this message, and leave a review if this helped you!

It’s a perfect segue into today’s topic: slowing down to scale smarter — by building the right systems inside your dental practice. In this episode, you’ll learn the four core systems that high-profit dental practices all have in place — systems that drive clarity, increase case acceptance, and remove friction so your practice can grow without requiring more hustle from you. Whether you're just starting out or you’ve been running your practice for years, this is a must-listen episode to transform how your business operates day-to-day. 🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 💡 1. Patient Flow Systems • Why patient flow isn’t just about where patients go — it’s about how they decide. • The 3 key questions every patient interaction should answer. • How bottlenecks like insurance verification and checkout delays sabotage growth. • How to train your team to guide patients toward “yes” at every touchpoint. 💰 2. Financial Tracking Systems • Go beyond production and collections: track the story of your money. • Real-life example of a practice unknowingly over-relying on hygiene. • How to use data to diagnose issues like low case acceptance or lack of new patients. • The 3 questions your financial reports should answer every month. 🧾 3. Team Accountability Systems • Why accountability is not micromanagement. • How to use role-specific scorecards to track performance. • Examples of measurable outcomes for team roles. • How “self-policing accountability” boosts ownership and performance. 📣 4. Marketing Systems • Why running ads alone isn’t a strategy — it’s gambling. • The 3 pillars of a real marketing system: 1. Internal marketing 2. External marketing 3. Follow-up marketing • How high-profit practices convert leads into long-term patients through education and automation. 📝 Episode Highlights: • "High-profit practices don’t make money by accident. They measure the right things, consistently." • "Marketing isn’t just about leads — it’s about building trust, nurturing relationships, and guiding patients to say yes." • "Accountability should be baked into your systems, not your personality." ✅ Episode Takeaway: Choose one system from today’s episode and ask yourself: “What’s one change I can make this week to bring more clarity, consistency, and profitability into my practice?” Start small — but start intentionally. 📌 Resources & Links: • 👩‍⚕️ Book a consult to build these systems with expert support: www.dryazdancoaching.com/consult • 📲 Follow Dr. Yazdan on Instagram: @dryazdan (www.instagram.com/dryazdan) 💬 Loved this episode?

    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.
