		<description><![CDATA[One of the common questions my staff and I got asked frequently regarding appearing on top rankings in Google is this: &#8220;How do I make myself visible through Google?&#8221; or &#8220;Why is my competitor&#8217;s site on the 1st page and mine is not?&#8221; If you do not know the rules of the search engine game, you will always wonder why your site is not coming up on the 1st page of Google under ALL keywords and at the end, after spending lots of money and time on it with little returns, you might simply just tell yourself that there are NO patients/customers that you could get from the internet. I just spoke with one of my newer clients, a dentist in Los Angeles, who has played the search engine game for about 10 years now ( even before he became our client). He is getting 20 new patients from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Note: Dentists, doctors, business owners etc have hired business and practice management consultants to help increase new patients and customers, to be more well-organized and to have improved customer service. However, there is one area of management which most often never get adequate attention: When I worked as a waiter in Austria, my native country, I worked hard (90 hours a week, for about nine months in a row). An American tourist told me that I was working too hard to ever make money. I replied that I love my job and that I made good money. He smiled, patted me on the shoulder, and said, “I’m happy for you. But I mean real money, lots of money – you can’t make it while working so hard.” 25 years later, I understood what he meant. Here is a little break-down on an organizational structure: Goal-Maker &#8211; Every organization needs a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Though most of us love what we do in our profession, and many people do put in 60 to 70 hours a week working hard at our profession, most of us would also not mind enjoying the freedom to take off whenever we like to pursue other interests in life. Small businesses stay small because the small business owner thinks that his or her presence is constantly needed to produce business income. He or she is right to a high degree. After all, the business owner is usually also the more competent sales person, the producer, the smoother customer service person, the stricter quality control person, etc. Well, ‘someone’ needs to do the dirty work of making money and so many business owners decide that they shall slave, &#8212; I mean, work &#8212;  hard for the business until they retire. Below are two videos which I have made on why some people feel that they are overworked and underpaid. Watch the videos [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” THEODORE ROOSEVELT (1858 &#8211; 1919) Twenty-sixth President of the United [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whether you are running a dental practice or running a restaurant, it is easy to concentrate on problems and forget to see the thing you wanted in the first place. After all, problems are impinging on you &#8211; no money, bad employees, creditors chasing you, governments not giving you the licenses you need, customers not having the money to pay for your services etc. But, you see, the more you obsess on the problem the more it will consume you to the point, like a horse with blinders on, you will see nothing but the problem. Hey, at least those horses with their blinders are made to see the road only. They only see what the jockey wants them to see. They are made not to see the horse next to them, the crowd, or anything else. In this case, the blinders are good but if you keep worrying too [...]]]></description>
