Busy days at the clinic.
Late nights.
Kids already asleep.

That was my reality until I realised I was doing it all wrong.

The dental practice business model teaches you to trade time for money.
But that’s not a business, that’s a job. Worse, that’s a trap.

You’ve got to think differently to get out.

If you want more time, more profit, and a team that runs without you, you’ve got to think differently, and you’re going to need some help.

We’ve helped practices boost profit, build team culture, and create more freedom in under 12 months.

See the link in our bio to find out how our coaching program can do the same for you.

Nothing grows in the middle. Comfort feels safe, but it guarantees nothing changes. True progress begins the moment you commit fully.

The Five Failure Levels can radically change how your team functions, especially how they feel when they hear “no.”
It’s not about chasing rejection.
It’s about creating a culture where people feel safe to ask, safe to offer, and safe to try again.

Ever picked a restaurant because you saw it on Instagram first? Your patients are doing the same thing with dentistry.

They’re scrolling… not searching. If they see you answering their exact question, trust happens instantly, and so do the bookings.

You don’t need to go viral. You just need to be visible.

Start by answering the questions they’re already asking and offering solutions to their problems.

The practices that thrive aren’t the ones with the newest chairs or the fanciest scanners.
They’re the ones with owners who don’t flinch when things change.
Because the dental industry is not slowing down for anyone.
Let’s be honest, change is uncomfortable. But refusing to adapt is how great practices become average ones.
The world’s shifting fast. Are you driving the change or letting it drive you?

I think a lot a practice owners half-ass their business and it’s not their fault. No one has shown them how to run and lead a business to success.

 
If we haven’t met, hi I’m Dr Jesse Green, dentist, bestselling author, and founder of Savvy Dentist.
For nearly twenty years I’ve coached hundreds of practice owners, built multi-million-dollar practices, and developed systems used by 300+ dentists around Australia to scale profit, team performance, and owner freedom.

Ever replayed a mistake on loop?
→ The patient complaint
→ The staff member who quit
→ The big bill you didn’t see coming
 
It’s not the event that derails you.
It’s the mental replay that kills your momentum.
Overthinking is expensive.
Especially when you’re leading a team.
 
The Goldfish Mindset
What if your most important business skill…
Was learning to forget faster?
 
Failure is Feedback Not Identity
Mistakes don’t define your business.
How you bounce back does.
Business doesn’t reward perfection - it rewards recovery speed.
 
Bandwidth Is Your Real Limiting Factor.
Your brain can’t scale if it’s stuck in regret.
Every moment you dwell is energy you don’t get back.
Mental clarity = better decisions = better business.
 
Your Team Feels What You Project
If you stew in frustration, your team will too.
If you reset fast, they mirror resilience.
Your real leadership is what you model under pressure.
 
 
You don’t need more skill.
You need more mental margin.
Be a goldfish. Let go faster. Lead sharper.

In a world with AI, being slow in business = Dead

I didn’t see the train that almost hit my car.
The lights were flashing. The bells were ringing.
I just… didn’t see it.
That moment taught me something brutal, just because you don’t see the threat doesn’t mean it’s not real.

In business, it’s the same.
Patient numbers dip a little.
A key staff member burns out.
Overheads quietly climb.
The alarms are ringing, but too many owners are too busy to look up.
And that’s how good practices slide into chaos.
The leaders who notice? They act early.
The ones who don’t? They pay later.
Awareness doesn’t just save lives.
It saves businesses.

“Entrepreneur” used to be a slur in dentistry.
A shortcut for greedy, money-first, patient-last.
In this conversation, Alan Manley said something that really stuck with me:
Real entrepreneurs aren’t chasing money.
They’re chasing a better way to do things.
You can see it in how they operate.
They notice the friction others tolerate.
The queues.
The repeating conversations.
The systems that rely on effort instead of design.
Not because they’re impatient, but because they know that stuff quietly drains teams, patients, and owners.
That instinct isn’t selfish.
It’s how value actually gets created.
If you’re walking into this year knowing your practice could run better, without you carrying so much of it, this conversation will meet you where you are.
