You Can't Help Every Patient: The Caring Dentist's Dilemma | Dr. Don Barden | FF

from The Dental Marketer · host Michael Arias

Are you a caring dentist who finds it hard to accept when a patient is beyond your help?In this episode, Dr. Don Barden, a scholar of economics and human behavior, candidly talks about a critical failure, one that many dentists might relate to: assuming you can help everyone. Sharing his wealth of knowledge and experience, Dr. Barden shows the dangers of this mindset and explains the importance of recognizing that patients, and indeed anyone, can only be truly helped when they are willing to help themselves. Unpack his insights and learn why he thinks that acknowledging this reality can be a significant step towards succeeding as a practice owner. As Dr. Barden says, "Failure is ongoing. Failure is something that you should embrace because it tells you what not to do, and it opens the door for everything you should be doing."‍‍Listen to Don's Other Episodes Here:Feel Passion for Dentistry Again: 12-Months to Success with This Mindset Shift | Don Barden | MME – The Dental Marketer Podcast‍Host: Michael AriasJoin my newsletter: https://thedentalmarketer.lpages.co/newsletter/‍Join this podcast's Facebook Group: The Dental Marketer Society‍Love the Podcast?
