Hey Friends, Only rich and happy dentists do this… They do whatever they want. I connect with dentists all the time on social media now that I have over 47,000 followers Some are rich, poor, happy and sad. The one that the rich and happy dentists have in common is they truly do whatever they want. They use their time the way THEY want to. Whether it is the types of procedures they do, the number of days they work, the places they vacation to, types of car they drive, types of sunglasses they...

Hey Friends, I am reading Dan Martell's book - Buy Back Your Time and I am absolutely hooked. He talks about how valuable your time is and how you can make the most of it by delegating certain tasks to other people. Your time is worth a dollar amount. You have an hourly rate and you calculate it by taking your income and dividing by 2,000 (hours). That number is your hourly rate. Take that number and divide it by 4 That is your buy back rate. If you can pay someone that amount of money per...

Hey Friends, Time is the most valuable currency you have. You lose it with every second that goes by. You reading this email is costing you time. This is why I try to bring some sort of value to you whenever I take the time to write these emails. Whether it is an insightful story, aligner tip, or sharing a new video I made. This week I wanted to remind you how precious your time is and encourage you to evaluate how you are spending it. Are you doing things that someone else can do? Are you...

Hey Friends, On Thursday Neha and I were officially THOSE people. We were the people with a crying baby on the plane... twice. We took Naira on her first plane ride and had a connecting flight in Atlanta. There was a delay, there were tears (Naira's lol), but we made it safely. To the parents reading this you know EXACTLY what this feeling feels like. To the people without kids... bless your soul. It's funny because before we had Naira I used to get annoyed when babies would cry on the plane....

Hey Friends, It is memorial day weekend here and my family flew in to visit! That's my brother Rajan with my daughter Naira! It is the first time they are meeting and they've been having a blast with each other. So as you can see my brother is pretty young - but don't let that fool you. He got a job with align earlier this year and is in their sales associate program. He is on track to be a future territory manager. He was 1 of 100 applicants for a 10 person program and he got the job. In...

Hey Friends, You know how they say you won't know about something unless you try it? I experienced that moment last month when I decided to make a major shift in the business. So traditionally the only way I was reaching dentists was online. I was making youtube videos and instagram reels and writing this newsletter to try and provide free education around aligners. This is something nobody else is doing and at the time I wanted to be the one to do it because I wish something like this...

Hey Friends, The concept of dental student loan repayment is pretty nuts. You took out around $500k in loans just to learn how to do basic procedures. You come out and know little to nothing Then you have to essentially invest in more education to be able to level up. If you didn't know you needed to do that... now you know lol I say this because I wish I knew that earlier in my career. The first dentist I worked for actually told me CE was a waste of money... (he was wrong - kind of) I think...

Hey Friends, The question posed in the subject may seem redundant to you but focus and "things to focus on" is an interesting concept. Some people think they need to be doing multiple things at once to be productive. Others think they just need to focus on one thing at a time and chip away. I don't know if there is a right answer but lately I have been doing a combo of both. It's helped me make INSANE strides in MEANINGFUL projects that I am working on right now. In the last 2 weeks I have...

Hey Doc, I'll keep this week's newsletter short. A lot of people have been asking me to bring back one of my original programs because they said they wanted a starter program where they could still gain confidence with aligners but at a more approachable price point... I fought it for the longest time because I thought everyone wanted ALL of the value and support that comes with Aligner Launchpad (hence the investment amount) But I realized this was ME thinking about ME. And you are not me....
