In this solo episode, Jesse Green unpacks what truly separates the top 1% of dental practice owners from the rest. Drawing on decades of coaching, conversations, and lived experience, he reveals the six internal traits that drive external results.

If you’ve been chasing better KPIs, more profit, or faster growth, this is your reminder that the real breakthroughs start within.

In this episode:

• [03:09] The one inner quality that keeps top owners in the game
• [07:19] A trait more important than talent or intelligence and why it's a non-negotiable for long-term success
• [10:15] The mindset shift that turns stuckness into momentum (and how most owners get it wrong)
• [13:36] Why your success may have more to do with who you're around than what you're doing
• [15:42] The hidden growth habit elite owners practice daily and why surface-level skimming won’t cut it
• [18:14] How the clearest thinkers create unstoppable teams, motivation, and focus.
