Dr. Jesse Green is one cool character. He's the only person I know that's spent a week with Richard Branson on his private island in the British Virgin Islands, and in addition to this he's a best-selling author, entrepreneur, thought leader in dental management, business coach and the host of a very successful podcast called The Savvy Dentist.
In this episode we discuss:
The Recovery Paradox
- Why some days you don't always project the best version of yourself, which can often be embarrassing.
- However people forgive mistakes and errors if you handle it the right way. This is The Recovery Paradox.
- If you handle a problem the right way, your clients and customers will become more loyal.
- When you meet someone you never know what's been going on in their life, so you must make allowances for poor behaviour, especially when you know it's out of character.
- When a problem occurs and if it's handled correctly, the incidence itself is long forgotten, but the recovery will be remembered for a very long time.
- When you have a bad day at work, you need to learn to not take it home, and visa versa.
The Savvy Dentist Podcast - where great business meets great dentistry.
- It's important to take ideas from other professions and apply it back to your own profession or industry.
- This is why listening to podcasts outside of your industry is so important.
- Book Recommendation: Not Invented Here - Cross Industry Innovation.
Accountability
- You need to have strong accountability partners.
- You need to have commitment and consistency in everything that you do.
- "Just getting started is the hard part". - Jocko Willink.
- Jesse will have his second book written by the end of 2017, that's his commitment to you.
- It's all about creating good daily habits.
- "Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinary well". - John W. Gardner.
Richard Branson Meeting - Jesse's Takeaways:
- THINK BIGGER. Richard Branson never thinks small. You've got to look at things in a big way.
- Don't overthink yourself, it slows down your progress.
- Look at getting yourself out of your business as early as possible without going broke.
- Delegate far more than you already do.
- Here's the biggest message - ASK WHO, NOT HOW: When you're faced with a new challenge or idea, don't ask HOW to resolve or do it, instead ask WHO can resolve it. This is a different question and therefore giving you a different outcome.
