10K Day Applications coming in. Now's the time to...
BUSINESS.
Here's a great Monday morning quote to ponder:
"When I think about the mistakes I've made as a leader, almost
ALL were because I moved too SLOWLY."
- John Chambers, CEO if Cisco
Ain't that the truth. He/She who hesitates loses. How many times
have you kicked yourself for not taking action when you could have,
but just moments later it was too late. Frustrating.
Well, if you're looking for the solutions you need to propel your
practice through this bleak economy, and grow wildly while your
colleagues are shaking their heads and wringing their hands, then
this could be one of those moments where you DON'T want to be
left out.
Now's the time to learn more about what the 10K Day Coaching &
Mastermind Program is all about...and APPLY if interested.
Here's the website:
www.10KDay.com
We're receiving applications at a pretty good clip, and I expect
all 16 available positions to be filled quickly. My business
coordinator Tonya Andrews will schedule a 30-minute 10K Day
Discovery Call with me ASAP for all those that apply, in the order
applications are received. This is to verify that the Program
is a good fit for you and your practice...and that you are a good
fit for the group.
Once I've filled my 10K Day Coaching & Mastermind Group, all
additional candidates will be placed on a Priority Waiting List,
in the rare case that a seat may come available.
If you're considering this, don't hesitate...go now to:
www.10KDay.com
All my best,
Chris
PS: I've added NEW INFORMATION to this website since Friday,
including information on the investment required. If you're
wondering "how much", it's all there.
PPS: Later, I'll be adding even more information to the website,
including comments from many doctors with whom I've worked in the
recent past. You'll definitely want to see their thoughts.

"10K Day" Launch DELAYED 48 hours by server "glitches"...
Important Announcement...Plus a BIG FREE TIP!
Due to unexpected technical server "issues"
(which I personally know absolutely nothing about),
the "10K Day" Coaching and Mastermind Program
launch has been delayed by just 48 hours.
The NEW LAUNCH DATE & TIME for the "10K Day" Program
is Thursday, May 14th at 12:00pm Noon EST!
We're adjusting the countdown timer accordingly.
It should be ready early this morning.
www.10KDay.com
I know you're anxious to learn more about this
new and innovative program, and you certainly will!
I want everything running smoothly, however, and
my web designer needs the extra time to make that
happen. I do apologize for the delay.
Once again, here's the website you'll go to:
www.10KDay.com
Please return to the above website at that time,
when we finally go LIVE. All program details
will be posted, and your "10K Day" Membership
Application will be ready for completion online.
All my best,
Chris
PS: Don't forget...only the first 16 doctors who are
accepted into the "10K Day" Coaching and Mastermind
Program will become 10K Day Members. If you're seriously
interested in this program, you'll want to be there,
on the website, right at NOON EDT.
PPS: As for the delayed launch...now I know how the
Space Shuttle feels.
PPPS: OK, here's the BIG TIP. On Monday, May 11th, the
U.S. Postal Service raised their postage rates yet again...
this time a full 2 cents per stamp. That's a 4.5% increase!
To mail a flat letter in a #10 envelope now costs $0.44.
So, knowing that, do you think you should be sending LESS
direct mail...or MORE direct mail?
I hope you chose the latter...MORE direct mail! Why, because
with postage rates increasing, you'll begin to see LESS direct
mail overall in your mailbox. This means LESS CLUTTER, and
an easier path for your marketing messages to get solid attention
from your patients and prospects!
Direct mail is and probably always will be the KING of marketing.
With no other medium can you choose specifically whom you want
to receive your marketing messages...and whom you don't.
While you colleagues are whining over the "high costs" of direct
mail, you could be laughing all the way to the bank, as you
capture more new patients through targeted mail campaigns.
By the way, direct mail marketing is one of many marketing
focal points in the "10K Day" Program. Members will have
access to numerous direct mail pieces that would require
thousands of dollars invested to create. Don't have time
to generate new marketing pieces? No problem...if you're
in the "10K Day" Program!

Here's the official "10K Day" website, going LIVE tomorrow.
I hope you had a fantastic Mother's Day weekend. Lately
it's been rumored that I've been shouting "MOMMY", because
of how busy I've been at work as well as at home! I can
confirm that--occasionally--those rumors have been true.
We're getting geared up for the LAUNCH of The "10K Day"
Coaching and Mastermind Program! I've frankly been stunned
by the amount of interest and questions about this innovative
new SYSTEM FOR MAXIMUM PRACTICE GROWTH...
IN ANY ECONOMY.
Well, tomorrow at NOON EDT (11:00am CDT; 10:00am MDT; 9:00am PDT),
we go "live". Here's the website where you'll want to go to find
out everything about The "10K Day":
www.10KDay.com (were you expecting something different?)
If you go there now, all you'll see is a brief statement saying
that we launch on Tuesday at 12:00 noon EDT, along with a nifty
countdown timer. The timer's purpose is to let you know EXACTLY
when the complete website will be launched, so that everyone will
have access to the application process at the exact same time.
As I had mentioned previously, you'll find out all the details
about The "10K Day" Coaching and Mastermind Program. You'll
also be able to apply for one of the 16 AREA EXCLUSIVE positions
in the group. What this means is that only one doctor per
city or town will be accepted into the program.
Remember, my business coordinator Tonya Andrews will keep track
of the order in which the applications are submitted. Priority
will be given to those who apply sooner.
Once we've received your application, Tonya will schedule a
brief "10K Day Discovery Call" with me, during which we'll discuss
your personal and professional goals, the current condition
of your practice, and whether or not The "10K Day" Program
would be a good fit for you...and you, a good fit for the Program.
Have a great evening...I'll "see" you tomorrow at HIGH NOON (EST).
All my best,
Chris
PS: Tonya and I will also be available for questions regarding
the "10K Day" Coaching and Mastermind Program, should you still
have them after visiting the website tomorrow. All questions
should be directed to Tonya@DentalInsiders.com. She'll forward
to me the questions that she feels most appropriate for me to
answer. Although direct access to me is somewhat limited, I
do want to make myself available for you when needed.

The "10K Day" Program...Launch Day May 12th @ Noon EST
This message will be pretty quick. I want to fill you in on the
details of the Launch Day. Many doctors have inquired about
how they can apply and sign up for the Program. Some have
even requested if they can get in early. But in the interest of
fairness I'm going to open the program to all doctors at the
exact same time. Here's how it works.
I'll continue to be in touch with you through next Tuesday,
when The "10K Day" Coaching and Mastermind Program goes "live".
Sometime on Monday, May 11th, you'll get the website name where
you'll find all the complete information about the entire program.
Until Tuesday at noon EST you'll see a simple webpage with a
countdown timer.
Once the website goes live you'll be able to review all the details,
and apply right there, on the spot by filling out the fairly simple
application online. Your position in the program will be secured
with a REFUNDABLE deposit.
Your application will then be submitted to me through my business
coordinator Tonya Andrews. She will keep track of when the
applications are received, and the order thereof.
I will personally review all applications and arrange a brief
phone call with each applicant, to be completed as soon as
possible...preferably within the following 24-48 hours.
The purpose of the phone call is for each of us to discuss
your practice situation, your goals, The "10K Day" Program, and
whether or not the program is a good fit for you.
Also, I want to make sure I'm building a SUPER Mastermind group.
So I need to make sure that you are a good fit for the program too!
Only those who wish to LEARN and IMPLEMENT and GROW and SHARE
and HELP are invited. No whiners or negative thinkers allowed.
The biggest PROFITS will come from the most synergistic group.
After I've selected the first 16 doctors into the program, Tonya
and I will place any additional doctors on a Priority Waiting List,
in case any positions should come open for whatever reason.
Doctors will be added to the list in the order their applications
were received.
Once The "10K Day" Coaching and Mastermind Group is filled, I
will initiate the Program and we will begin planning the 1-on-1
Coaching Days as well as the Mastermind Meetings. We will also
schedule all monthly Coaching Calls and all other events.
So there you have it. I know it sounds a little "anal", but
I have to plan it this way to be fair to all who are interested.
This message goes out to thousands of doctors, so it's important
for me to do this the right way.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Stay alert, because I'll
likely send you another update before Monday. Take care.
All my best,
Chris
PS: If you really want to be one of the first 16 doctors that
gets into this program, be sure the BE THERE at NOON EST on
Tuesday, May 12th!

What is The "10K Day" Program WORTH?
What's The "10K Day" Program WORTH?
Wow, what a loaded question. And my answer here really puts
everything into perspective for you. I'd say this is THE
most important message you'll read about this entire topic.
The actual VALUE of The "10K Day" Coaching and Mastermind Program depends on several factors. Here they are, in the form of questions you'll want to ask yourself, so you can arrive at a value foryour practice. Clearly, this program's value is subjective, yet significant for all!
Think about this. HOW MUCH IS IT WORTH FOR YOU TO...
- develop a true Culture of Patient Attraction in your practice?
- add truly EFFECTIVE, PROFITABLE MARKETING strategies in layers?
- collect names of INTERESTED prospects who will become patients?
- DOUBLE your CONVERSION of callers and prospects into patients?
- increase your NEW PATIENT FLOW by 40%...70%...100% or more?
- swiftly and systematically build instant TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS?
- KEEP your patients in LOVE with your practice FOR LIFE?
- smoothly and comfortably present UNCOMPROMISING CARE?
- CLOSE MORE CASES...quadrants, full arches, cosmetics, etc.?
- confidently CRUISE through financial arrangements?
- maximize the EFFICIENCY and PRODUCTIVITY of your SCHEDULE?
- DOUBLE (at least) your HYGIENE production?
- enroll at least 40-50% of your adult patients into PERIO THERAPY?
- turn your ASSISTANTS into PRODUCERS?
- add NEW SERVICES to your procedure offerings?
- acquire limitless REFERRALS from your patients?
- enjoy even more REFERRALS from PHYSICIANS and other professionals?
- MASTER the art of "Consistent Creative Contact"?
OK...I'll stop there, although I could go on.
How much is all that WORTH for you to improve your practice in just
SOME of those areas? What BENEFITS would you reap in your business, and in your life? Would you enjoy more personal FREEDOM?
Only you can answer those questions, but my guess is that your
answers are of significant substance! And imagine if you were
to address and improve ALL of the aspects of your practice listed
above. What would that be worth?
Add it up.
$88,000? $137,000? $264,000 or more?
Go ahead...do the math.
It's FUN to do that kind of math!
Now please understand that whatever your projected increases in
collections come out to be, they are ANNUAL increases. Yes,
they REPEAT year after year through consistent implementation.
That's where the true value of The "10K Day" Program will be
realized.
Let's stop there. Go back through that list above. Which areas
apply to you and your practice? There are plenty to choose from,
and I'll be addressing them ALL in detail for 16 dentists,
starting very soon.
All my best,
Chris
PS: Remember, the LAUNCH DATE is Tuesday, May 12th. On that
day at NOON Eastern time I will post the link to the website
where you can apply for The "10K Day" Coaching and Mastermind
Program. All the information you'll need will be there.
PPS: I know I haven't revealed the fee yet. I'm getting there.
Once I do, I'm pretty sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.

"What's this '10K Day' Program all about, anyway?"
(Get ready...this one's long but VERY detailed!)
That seems to be the question on the minds of several doctors
who have been asking about it. Here I'm going to address the
basics of the program so you can gain a better understanding of
how it can benefit those doctors and practices who are involved.
A couple months ago I was visiting with Dr. Chris Port, a very
successful dentist in my hometown of Asheville, NC. I've only
known Dr. Port for about 7 years, but we've gotten to be great
friends...and he's also a Dental Insiders Alliance member as
well as a full-day coaching client.
We were both sharing our practice statistics with each other,
and I commented that I had more "10K Days" -- consisting of
at least $10,000 or more in COLLECTIONS -- in the fourth quarter
of 2008 than ever before, by a wide margin. And the first quarter
of 2009 was yielding similar results.
Dr. Port said: "You know Chris, most doctors would love to have
just ONE "10K Day"...many have never had one!" He's right. Then
he said: "You should bottle up ALL your content and deliver it
in a Coaching program for dentists who want MORE "10K Days"...
or even their first one (of many to come)."
Now, those of you who have gotten to know me realize that I love
to share my thoughts, ideas, and strategies with dentists...and
I get fired up to motivate and inspire dentists to set their bar
higher than ever before and HIT their lofty goals FAST.
Recently I had decided that I would launch a new, innovative
Coaching AND Mastermind program for dentists, because I believe
in both systems. I knew that a creative combination of the
two would be the ULTIMATE solution for the savvy dentists who are
committed to growing their practices in ANY economic climate.
After that brief portion of my conversation with Dr. Port, I decided to name my new system The "10K Day" Coaching and Mastermind Program. The primary goal: for ALL participating doctors to experience the satisfaction, economic freedom, and stress reduction that comes with having "10K Days" ROUTINELY in their practices! (NOTE: This program is limited to just 16 participating doctors. You'll see why in a few moments.)
The average daily collections numbers in private North American
dental practices range from $3000-4500, depending upon whom you
ask. To me that's NOT OK! I realize that your personal numbers
may be considerably higher (some even MORE than $10K...I'll address
that elite group in a minute). But very few have an average
daily goal of "$10K a day". Hence the name.
The purpose of The "10K Day" Coaching and Mastermind Program is
to help you set YOUR daily bar at a MINIMUM of $10K in collections,
and give you ALL the tools and guidance necessary to make days
like this a REALITY.
Now, can I promise that you'll hit a 10K Day every day? Of course
not. In fact, it would be inappropriate for me to blindly make
such claims in a message like this. HOWEVER, I CAN guarantee you
that I will give you more than enough resources in this program
to make "10K Days" a COMMON OCCURRENCE in your practice.
I hope you're seeing my point here. If you've not yet enjoyed
a "10K Day", we'll set our sights on building your FIRST one
within 30-60 days of the program's start date! Then we'll DUPLICATE
that model to REPEAT your results again and again. If you're more
accustomed to these highly profitable days, then my goal for you
is to MORE THAN DOUBLE the number of "10K Days" you experience
in your practice monthly!
Imagine what it would be worth to you to be enjoying one, two,
or more "10K Days" per WEEK. It is possible...that's the plan.
If you're one of the few doctors who already average $10K per day
or more, then I'll automatically modify your Coaching model for
$15K or even $20K days! Whatever your level of revenues, this
program is designed to help you LAUNCH your numbers into the
STRATOSPHERE.
The STRUCTURE of The "10K Day" Coaching and Mastermind Program
is actually quite simple to explain. Here's a general overview
of the components:
Component #1: One Full Day of 1-on-1 COACHING! I will spend one
entire day with you, the doctor, and one key team member from your
practice (optional). Our day will be preceded by thorough
preparation, including detailed information gathering about your
practice. I'll even have demographic market data from your local
area! This will give us the head start we need to have your most
productive day EVER, as we map out the future growth of your
business.
Focal points of this day will be based on your own individual needs.
I will customize each Coaching Day for each participating doctor,
including modules on Business Systems, Marketing, Statistics Review,
Communications, Long-Range "Big Picture" Strategies, Team Building
& Leadership, Clinical Service Offerings, and "Buried Treasure".
This intense day will contain no meaningless "fluff". No sappy,
time wasting "mission statements" or anything like that...we won't
have time for such puffery. Instead, we'll develop your own
personal "Dental Success Blueprint", which you can literally take
home with you and IMPLEMENT with your entire team!
Component #2: THREE annual 2-Day Mastermind Meetings with the entire "10K Day" Mastermind Group! These meetings, led and facilitated personally by me, will prove to be BREAKTHROUGH EVENTS for the 16 participating doctors who are accepted into the program.
Held in beautiful Charlotte, NC at the prestigious Charlotte
Country Club (not some stale hotel meeting room), each Mastermind
Meeting will afford EVERY group member the opportunity to have
30-60 minutes of "Hot Seat" time focused purely on his/her practice.
We'll harness the collective power of the entire group to help
solve problems and initiate new strategies for growth and success.
(Note: Charlotte is a HUB airport, with hundreds of non-stop flights.)
As your group leader I will be presenting completely NEW CONTENT
to the group at each Mastermind Meeting, based on my experiences
and resources from inside and outside of the dental profession.
You'll be privy to INSIDE INFORMATION that I reserve only for
this high-level group.
Occasionally I will also bring in GUEST EXPERTS, again from either
inside or outside the dental industry. Keep in mind that most of
the BIG business breakthroughs I've experienced in my career were
developed from what I learned from NON-dental sources! These will
not be your "typical" guest speakers. All will bring UNIQUE
talents to the table, each best suited for maximum doctor benefit.
You will likely not see or hear them anywhere else.
Discounted 5-Star hotel and transportation arrangements will be
negotiated for you, and wonderful gourmet meals will be provided
at the award winning Charlotte Country Club and several of
Charlotte's best restaurants. These Mastermind Meetings will be
FIRST CLASS all the way.
Component #3: 12 Monthly 30-Minute Coaching Calls! I will
personally conduct these calls with YOU AND YOUR TEAM, during
which we will focus on KEY ELEMENTS that make the biggest difference in your own practice. Topic selection will be based on YOUR needs and goals...this is not "cookie cutter" stuff.
Team involvement is CRITICAL to the implementation of new systems
and strategies. These Coaching Calls will help your team stay on
track, and accountable for your progress. Questions will be
answered, problems solved, roadblocks conquered. Also, successes
will be celebrated, and goals will be reset to higher levels!
Component #4: Up To 4 "Wild Card" Coaching Calls! These on-demand calls with me will be scheduled on an "as needed" basis. I included this component to address unplanned events and changes that can pop up in any business. During each 12-month membership cycle you'll have up to 4 opportunities to get me on the phone and discuss whatever issues you're facing at the moment. Great for sudden unexpected needs!
Component #5: [Optional] Additional "a la carte" Coaching Days
and 1/2 Days! I'll have a limited number of days set aside for
"10K Day" Coaching and Mastermind Members to schedule either
half-day or full-day coaching sessions with me. This feature
is for those doctors who want or need more coaching assistance.
While there are additional fees for this service (the rest are
included), some will find the additional time to have IMMENSE VALUE.
Most of these extra Coaching Days will be scheduled around existing
Mastermind Meetings and Coaching Days, for the convenience of the
Members. These will be offered on a first come, first serve basis.
Component #6: Live Audio Recording of YOUR Coaching and Masterminding! Ever forget important information from a meeting or coaching session? By recording the audio of each event, you'll be sure to catch everything that was said...so bring your voice recorder!
I will provide full recording of EVERY Coaching Call, so you won't
have to worry about configuring a phone in your home or office.
You'll get immediate access to each recorded call, and you can keep
your recordings of your personal coaching days and your own "Hot
Seat" sessions during the Mastermind Meetings. Obviously, any
additional recording of other doctors' confidential information
is strictly prohibited.
Component #7: A PLETHORA of Marketing Resources! I've recently
developed a full STABLE of "workhorse" marketing solutions for
dentists...and the list is still growing. These will be reserved
at significant savings (33-66% off) for Members.
Component #8: Much MORE! I'm running out of room (and time),
so I can't get into too many more details. But I can say that
the above is not a complete list of all that is included with
The "10K Day" Coaching and Mastermind Program. I have many
surprises in store for Members of this Program, all which are
geared just for you and your practice growth.
I'm guessing, though, that by now you've got a pretty good idea
of what this is all about, right? Good.
If you have read up to this point, chances are you have at least some interest. Up to now, nine doctors have already contacted me to expressed "serious" interest in the program, because they've been exposed to the Coaching and Mastermind concepts, and they know the value. Even though they don't know many specifics about the actual program, they want in. Now that I've explained so much here, I expect that number to rise over the next 48 hours.
Remember, I can only accept 16 doctors MAX into this program.
Its structure allows for only that many, considering the commitment
of time and resources I'm providing. So...if you have even a
REMOTE interest in applying for The "10K Day", stay glued to your
Inbox over the next 7 days!
That's enough for now...I'll catch back up with you on Wednesday.
All my best,
Chris
PS: Why just 16 doctors? It's actually simple to explain. First,
I have a very limited number of days I can commit to Coaching.
Second, the Mastermind Meeting format can only accommodate up
to 16 doctors during a 2-day meeting, for every doctor to get
their own "Hot Seat" time. And believe me, two days is enough!
There are so many big ideas flying around at these meetings that
any more would be overwhelming. No false scarcity here...just
a firm limit of 16 for best results.

Announcements, PLUS: What's this "10KDay" Program all about?
Today I'm going to be sending you TWO messages. Here I'm making
some important announcements regarding Dental Insiders Alliance,
some upcoming webinars, and an exciting new development involving
my newsletters. The second will outline the basic structure of
dentistry's newest and most innovative Coaching and Mastermind
Program, which I've named the "10K Day" Program. I'll also let
you know why I chose the name, and how it applies to you no matter
what level of growth your practice is experiencing!
So...here are the announcements:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If you either attended the Woody Oakes Spring Seminar and missed
my presentations, or you missed the seminar altogether, no worries.
Over the next few weeks I'll be giving you the opportunity to
attend two Special Edition Webinars that each contain tons of
content from each of those presentations.
First, if you have ANY interest in "INTERNET MARKETING FOR DENTISTS" and dental practices, you absolutely don't want to miss my webinar with the same title. I cover numerous different avenues of building massive new patient flow by harnessing the power of the internet. This webinar will include lead generation, list building, Google positioning, website development, and even social networking strategies, including using Facebook and Twitter to attract new
patients!
The second, called "THE PATIENT ATTRACTION TSUNAMI", is loaded
with content designed to help you develop a Culture of Patient
Attraction in your practice. I'll reveal several of my top
systems and strategies...plus I'll show you how you can easily
and effortlessly overcome the "Implementation Barriers" that
keep most practices from moving forward. This is HUGE!
Lastly, for Dental Insiders Alliance members, I've got a very
special treat! Beginning THIS MONTH, you will begin to receive
TWO "Dental Insider Secrets" newsletters, delivered directly to
your doorstep, per month! I'm initiating the Dental Insiders
Alliance "TIME MACHINE", and DIA members will benefit big from this!
In previous months I've focused on these more frequent emailed
messages in lieu of the good old mailed monthly newsletter. Due
to numerous requests from members, I'm restarting the "Dental
Insider Secrets" newsletters! And to make up for previous months,
my TIME MACHINE will take you both forward AND "back" in time
simultaneously!
EACH NEW ISSUE WILL BE CURRENT...but I'll be dating one issue with
the current month, and the other with the next previous month until
I'm all caught up! So this month you'll get the May 2009 and
April 2009 issues of "Dental Insider Secrets"...next month you'll
get June 2009 and March 2009, and so on. But only if you're a
member will you get DOUBLE the issues, again all CURRENT!
If you're not a member, now is the BEST time to join. I'm still
offering TWO free months for you to TEST DRIVE Dental Insiders
Alliance, and I'm actually taking down my Patient Attraction
offer on May 15, OR when the remaining 19 packages are gone.
Diane's changing my website now to reflect the remaining number
of packages, down from the original 57.
Go here now to join:
www.DentalInsiders.com/patientattraction
See ya soon.
All my best,
Chris
PS: In the future I will likely NOT be offering two free months
of DIA membership to new members...so this may be the last chance
you get to take advantage of an offer like this. It's just too
much to be giving away up front. But I did commit to 57 Patient
Attraction Collection packages, so I'll continue the offer until
the remaining 19 are gone. This message goes out to over 1640
dentists, so if you want it, jump in now.

Can you "go it" alone?
What I mean is: Can you take on the challenges of growing
your practice perpetually to new heights without seeking the
help and guidance of a mentor or coach?
My answers may surprise you...yes, two answers. The first is
simplistic but leaves out precious information. The second is
perhaps a little more jarring.
Answer #1: SURE you can. You indeed can take on the challenges
of navigating your practice though its "growth journey" on your
own, without the help of any other experts or guides.
Answer #2: Wrong question. The better question is: SHOULD you
"go it" alone? My answer here is a resounding NO!
- In my experience, even the highest achievers never reach
the epitome of success without first aligning themselves with
an insightful coach that can keep them on track and moving
toward their goals FAST.
- Even if you are "doing well" going solo, you're most certainly
leaving big money on the table in missed opportunities without
a strong mentor to help you uncover those unforeseen treasures.
- It's not only about the money...it's also about the STRESS
REDUCTION and CONFIDENCE that comes with following the advice
and recommendations of a coach who can help to inspire and
motivate you to keep moving forward.
- And don't forget the ACCOUNTABILITY factor! When you have a
coach to whom you must periodically report your progress, you'll
accomplish more, period. It's all too easy to be easy on yourself
and thus fail to reach your goals as quickly as you can.
- Lastly, the UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP that you build with someone
who's SOLE PURPOSE is to help you succeed is PRICELESS. Someone
who's not afraid to push you and tell it like it is...who also
SPEAKS THE LANGUAGE you speak...with whom you can identify when
it comes to you and your practice.
So...can you see why you'd be crazy not to seek and find a
coach for you, your practice, and your team. You spend the
majority of your revenues on your business, right? You spend
at least a third of your time IN your business, right? Well,
you might as well MAXIMIZE all that you get out of that commitment!
If you are ready for the immense benefits that a solid, well-
grounded Coaching and Mastermind Program can provide for you and
your team and your family, then follow these messages very
carefully over the next 12 days. As I had stated previously,
on May 12, 2009 I will launch my new program. It's called:
The "10-K Day" Coaching and Mastermind Program
Tomorrow I'll outline my reasons for the name, and the basic
structure of the entire program. Then in future messages I'll
lay out in more detail what exactly to expect from such a program.
See you soon.
All my best,
Chris
PS: Wait till you hear where we'll be holding our Mastermind
meetings. I think you'll love it!

"The Greatest Good..."
his gang put on a fantastic seminar this year, and
I was blessed with the opportunity to speak twice.
What a blast to share my ideas with a live and interested
crowd, in such a beautiful place.
[By the way, my wife and the kids had an awesome time
too. Reid and Kenan loved all the pools at our oceanfront
condo...and Olivia said her favorite part was the
"thandcathels" she built beside the ocean!]
It was great to meet dozens and dozens of dentists and
team members. And it was also flattering to have many
of them tell me how much they enjoyed my presentations. I'm
thrilled to know that I was able to help a bunch of dentists
and team members get motivated to excel and grow!
That brings me back to where I left off last week.
Over the next several messages from me to you, I'll
be outlining my new Coaching AND Mastermind Program
that I'll be officially launching in just a couple of
weeks. I'm working on the website now, which will go
live on "Launch Day". It's there where you'll find the
application and all relevant information. Stay tuned.
Some of you have asked me: "Why are you launching a
Coaching and Mastermind Program?" I'm clearly very busy,
with a full-time practice and family life, plus Dental
Insiders Alliance. Well, the answer lies in this quote
from the legendary British statesman, Benjamin Disraeli:
----------------------------------------------------------
"The greatest good you can do for another is not just to
share your riches but to reveal to him his own."
----------------------------------------------------------
That's why. Through my experience in coaching dentists
and dental teams throughout the U.S. and Canada, I've
experienced tremendous satisfaction in helping them
exceed lofty goals that they perhaps thought were way
too high initially. My strength is UNCOVERING OPPORTUNITIES
that are either lying dormant within your dental practice
(the best kind, because they're FREE!), or out there
for the taking, if only you knew where and how.
I realize that many of you want more than the content
delivered here, and via teleseminars, webinars, and
newsletters. You want MUCH MORE. Some want more access to me
for CUSTOM advice on how to grow their practices. Others
want more focused TRAINING on marketing and business systems.
Still others want to make big BREAKTHROUGHS, and they want
an environment where other, like-minded dentists who share
common goals can meet and "synergize" their ideas.
Some are struggling in this challenging economic climate...
new patients are becoming harder to acquire, as are the
necessary "YES's" from their existing patients. They need
help, and they need it NOW.
Others are actually still doing well, but they want to grow
MORE, and take advantage of every opportunity before them.
These high achievers believe in the "Slight Edge", and they
understand that ANY edge they gain in their business is
PRICELESS...especially during a recession. They want it NOW.
This program is for BOTH the struggling and the thriving,
and anyone in between. One primary REQUIREMENT to be
accepted into my Coaching and Mastermind Program is the
DEDICATION TO GROW, PROFIT, and SHARE in the success of
yourself and others.
As I said in my previous message, this program will have all
the benefits of a Coaching program, plus the unique advantages
of the Mastermind group, all rolled up into one great program.
The only limiting issue is that because of the time-intensive
structure of the program, I'll only be able to accept 16 doctors.
On "Launch Day", scheduled to be Tuesday, May 12th, I will
begin accepting applications from those doctors who are committed
to achieving more than ever thought possible...perpetually into
the future.
So now you have the Launch Date...Tuesday, May 12! Be ready
to act if you believe you want to be a part of this.
Tomorrow I'll send even more information, including the
actual NAME of this Coaching & Mastermind Program! I know
the name's not everything, but I think you'll find it
interesting...and your feedback on it is welcome.
Lastly, I'll be posting a brief survey soon to find out
what preliminary questions you may have about this new program.
Many of your questions will be answered as I reveal more
information, but I do want to know what may be on your mind.
Stay tuned for all of the above...and have an AWESOME day!
All my best,
Chris

The Power of the Mastermind...
business coach that can help you unlock the potential within
you and your practice. When you consider that even the world's
BEST at what they do have at least one coach...and that their
performance almost immediately suffers when they try to let go
of their coach (see Tiger Woods)...the mere question of whether
or not to have a coach is brain dead easy to answer.
Today I'll expand on the Mastermind concept, and how it can
transform your business and your life through its application.
Napoleon Hill wrote extensively about the Mastermind concept in
his must-read book, "Think And Grow Rich". Here's a quote:
"No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a
third - a third invisible, intangible force that may be likened
to a third mind. You may have noticed many times that by
discussing something with another person you suddenly get
good ideas as a result of the discussion, ideas you would
not have gotten without this association. Well, the same
thing happens to the other person. A lot of good ideas have
been born in individual minds as a result of having met in
committee.
Associating with your mastermind alliance is not meant as a
means of letting others do your thinking for you, far from it.
It is meant to stimulate your own thinking through the association
with other minds. No one knows everything."
That THIRD MIND is the holy grail of the Mastermind. It's worth
far more than the sum of its parts. It's where big BREAKTHROUGHS
are spawned, and it's the reason for investing the time and
money required to become a part of one.
That said, I must emphasize how important it is for each great
mastermind group to have a solid LEADER who acts as the "coach"
of the group...or sometimes the "referee"! When big ideas are
flying around and passionate people are involved, it can get
pretty intense. Not the place for thin-skinned or whiny people.
Mastermind leaders must bring unique skills to the table
that benefit the entire group. In a professional niche like
dentistry, a balance of knowledge and experience in dental practice,
coupled with an understanding of business and marketing and
interpersonal relations concepts from outside the profession,
would be ideal.
Such experience is also beneficial in avoiding the most
common problem with poorly planned, ad hoc Mastermind groups:
the "DOPELER EFFECT". Unlike the Doppler effect, the DOPELER
effect occurs when bad ideas start sounding better as they
come at you faster and faster!! Nothing's worse than the whole
room agreeing to a bad idea...and a good mastermind leader
brings the proper perspective to prevent that from happening.
The Mastermind is a perfect environment for true business
leaders who want to maximize their effectiveness and harness
the powerful ideas of others. Finding the right group with
which to associate can be challenging, however. You want to
make sure you're spending your valuable time with individuals
that share your desires not only for growth and success, but
also for helping others do the same. Givers, not takers.
That's all for today. Tomorrow, I'm going to address the
burning question: "Which is better, coaching or masterminding?"
All my best,
Chris

Coaching and Masterminding vs. Tax Day Tea Parties...
I know, I know...today is TAX DAY. This is perhaps the most hated
and dreaded day of the year in the U.S. for many. On top of
that, this particular tax day is especially interesting. All
across America, hundreds of thousands of people will gather to
protest our government's reckless deficit spending programs,
and subsequent imminent universal tax hikes (it's not just
a matter of "if", but "when").
Will you be attending one of these "Tea Parties", named in
memory of the famous Boston Tea Party symbolizing 'taxation
without representation'? I hope not...but not for the reasons
you may expect! If it were not for my reasoning below, I'd
be there myself.
Hey, I'm all for letting government know how you feel about
their behavior. Regardless of which side of the political aisle
you're on, you must be wondering what the heck is going on
in Washington. But what is the BEST way for you to react?
BY FAR, the most sensible and effective way for you to make
tax day a non-event...and make EVERY day more enjoyable...is
to spend your available time doing everything you can to
maximize your productivity, and thus your income! In short:
OUTPRODUCE your tax liability!
I abhor big tax bills like everyone else. And if you're cranking
out serious revenue numbers, your tax bill will be big even after
all legal deductions have been maximized. So will your bank
account! That's the point.
But how do you break through BARRIERS that have been keeping
you from hitting new, record levels of productivity and profit?
Here's a hint: you can't do it alone!
I've found that when I try to take everything on by myself, my
results may be good, or even really good, which in fact can be
dangerous. Why? Because they're not GREAT.
However, when I harness the power of a great mentor/coach that
can help lead me through "the wilderness areas" of my business
with which I'm less familiar, my results improve from good to
GREAT to OFF THE CHARTS.
Only an insightful business coach can have the "outside eyes"
you need to help you experience big breakthroughs in your
practice. From uncovering hidden profits lying dormant within
your walls, to discovering opportunities outside it, to exposing
internal problems that inhibit growth, the right coach can
help you and your practice in ways no one else can. I call it
"UNLEASHING WEALTH"!
The wealth has been there all along, ready for the taking. It
just needs to be untied and "let go" into your hands. That's what
the right mentor/coach can do for you.
Similarly, you must surround yourself with like-minded peers
who want the same results for their businesses just as much
as you want results for yours. People who are savvy DOERS that
want to help just as much as they want to be helped. Hence
the power of the Mastermind, which I'll explore more tomorrow.
I'm currently involved with one coach/mentor and two separate
mastermind groups. Each requires significant investment.
Each is worth MULTIPLES MORE! Those who are willing to commit
to coaching and mastermind arrangements routinely outperform
those who try to "go it alone" by a wide margin. I've experienced
this phenomenon firsthand. There's no reason why you shouldn't
experience it yourself!
All my best,
Chris
PS: Tomorrow I'll dig into this concept more...including
things to look for AND to watch out for. See ya' then.

"Pure persistence is vastly overrated"...Plus, G.A.D. SOLD OUT!
More on that in a minute, but first:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Google Adwords Domination for Dentists is SOLD OUT!
Kelly has reached her maximum of 20 sharp doctors who
want to capitalize on the new leading (and growing)
method used by people searching for a dentist.
These dentists, and the 15 before them, have LOCKED OUT
their local areas from other dentists. Kelly's Adwords
services are exclusive to each area, because she can't
"compete with herself" by helping more than one doctor
per local market.
My strong suggestion, if you want the BEST Google Adwords
specialist in dentistry CERTIFIED by Google, is to keep
your eyes peeled for when Kelly opens her doors again. I
can't say exactly when , but it'll be after she gets these
doctors' Adwords accounts up to a "cruising altitude" of
new patient traffic. My best guess is 45-60 days.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Pure persistence is vastly overrated".
The above quote, credited to marketing and business building
icon Dan Kennedy, must be read VERY carefully. The operative
word in the sentence is "Pure"...in this context meaning "alone"
or "by itself".
It would be easy to misread this and conclude that Dan's
saying that you don't need to be persistent. Ahh, quite
the contrary! Persistence is a MAJOR key to success. Not
taking "no" for an answer, pressing farther than most are
willing to press, being resourceful and finding new avenues
when most around you claim there are none, etc.
But PURE persistence cannot lead you along the path to higher
levels of success without consideration of other key principles.
Simply put:
Be sure you're barking up the right tree first!
In other words, are your business systems in order? Are you
targeting the right market with your messages, and are you sending
the correct messages that match that market's wants and needs?
When someone responds to your persistent messages, are they
being handled properly to move them through the "buying" process?
All BIG questions to handle before you rev up your persistence!
It makes little sense to JUST be persistent when there are
significant issues with bigger business practices that thwart
your results. Without proper attention paid to your entire
"business funnel", and how prospective and existing patients
are to travel through it, your dogged persistence will likely
result in little more than amplified frustration!
All my best,
Chris
PS: Recently I've been asked by several dentists if I run a
more comprehensive coaching or mastermind program. For a few
doctors it was more of a request, as I have not previously
had such a program.
Well, right now is not the time...and right here is not the
place...to answer that question directly. However, I will
indeed provide "the answer" very soon, in more ways than one.
Stay tuned.
And, over the next few days I'll be outlining what I consider
to be THE most important elements of a great coaching and/or
mastermind program...because I feel it's crucial for dentists
to connect with and invest in the essential NON-clinical
training necessary to succeed in any economic climate.
Consistent with the theme of today's message, finding the
right program that "sticks" for you is of utmost importance!
