I would say start to finish, it was— it's been game-changing. Like, from day one, I was able to ask the difficult questions I've been harboring and build the connections that I've literally been like holding myself back from building. Um, and that's just an example of how simple and clear our conversations have been. It's been to the point, it's been very insightful, and yeah, honestly, just a, just a game changer for me the last 5 days. Yeah, that's awesome.
And it's, it's really interesting, isn't it? I'm very direct, that's just me, okay? I'm gonna fluff around. I got precious time, you got precious time. If I know something, I'm gonna be like, okay, these are the questions I'm going to ask you, because ultimately you've got to come up with your, your solutions. My goals are not your goals. Yeah, you may want to be like me in some ways, and you're like, cool, borrow that from me, borrow it, take it, and you express where they— and borrow courage, borrow whatever it is. And you did, and you took action the first day, which is awesome. So what did you love the most?
Um, I love that you touched on like every facet of like life. It wasn't just clinical, although you were very able to assist me with my clinical challenges. You've also touched on like the business mindset, um, you know, personal well-being, and everything is like interconnected. And I love that it shows through the way that you go about coaching. Like you're very focused on a pretty holistic approach. Like, you're looking at everything, not just specific things that are going on, you know. I really did like that. I think that— yeah, yeah, that's good.
Yeah, it's awesome. And that is— that's it. Because like, the, the next step after this program is called Full Life. Yeah, I am all about you and getting you in a position where you can achieve anything you want to do. Because it's so powerful and I've studied that really, really, and I keep reading books, I keep going to programs. Like today I've got a massive 6-day NLP program, which is awesome. So what breakthroughs did you have?
Um, I'd say breakthroughs was— it's hard to answer because I think it was— there was definitely mental breakthroughs to start with. Like overcoming fear and like this kind of strategies to do that, and then like recognizing limiting beliefs. Those things were breakthroughs to me because it was like, it's like an aha moment, right? But then also there was actual tangible breakthroughs. There was me booking in appointments to make sure that I can do the things I want to do, me booking in and scheduling times to meet up with mentors and people around me Those were massive breakthroughs that I think are going to correlate going forward, you know. So yeah, awesome.
And you took the action, so that's on you. Congratulations. That's all. People go, I'm too scared. No, Michael, that's what we got to work on. Um, and how much progress did you make?
Uh, I don't know if I can quantify it. It just feels like it was a lot for me. Yeah, it was. Yeah, I would just leave it at that, to be honest. It was, it was a lot because yes, it might not have been like 10x in my revenue or like anything like that just yet, but you can see how it very quickly can become that.
Yeah, you put that hard work in now and you'll see it months, years down the track. Like, it's not a get quick rich mindset, it's not a get quick rich Yeah, I could tell you stuff to get you really busy and burnt out. Totally. But then you won't be ready for then, and you won't have the health and the wellness and the mindset itself to deal with that next level, because you're going to hit different problems and need different solutions for different levels of your career, even as a dentist, which is huge.
Yeah.
Where do you think you'd be if we didn't work together and you didn't say yes to yourself to meet with me?
I think I'd still be, still be, um, toying up with whether or not, you know, I'm in the right place. I'd still be dealing with the limiting beliefs in a way that's not beneficial, right? Um, I don't think I would be looking to resolve the, like, imposter syndrome that we spoke about. I think I'll just be in that fear feedback loop, right, where I'm already a pretty ambitious person. I will want to try, but I feel like it's always, it's always like kind of taking me a step back. Like, I take two steps forward, take one back, and the growth projective would have been so much lower, you know. Like, I wouldn't have been taking the steps and pushing myself a little bit further. Um, yeah, but I think that's— that was one of the bigger changes going forward.
Would you recommend this to someone else just like you?
I already have. Um, yeah, 100%. It's especially like dentists, new grad dentists. Like, we, we touched on it earlier, but we all just follow a script. Up until a certain point. And so many of them graduate and they're like, what am I doing? Like, this isn't what I want to do. And just these 5 calls, I feel like you could get— you get some clarity, you know. You can get some idea of, okay, well, maybe this is how I need to think about it. Or just someone telling you, well, maybe that's not what you have to do, like, would be so different for them, you know. Um, but yeah, I definitely, definitely have recommended it.
