Key Takeaways:

• People really want to move beyond happiness & material possession, and find FULFILLMENT. We don't want work/life balance, we want work/life harmony.
• The one great equalizer is we all get 168 hours in a week. We are all equal that way. How we use that time is what separates the amateurs from the professionals.
• Creating space in your life and calendar is where your creativity comes alive. Creativity occurs within empty space.
• Retirement should be doing what you want, on your own terms.
• Learn and understand what your purpose is. It's all about how you want to feel, not what you want to achieve or own.
  • To find your purpose sit down and write down 7-10 of your happiest memories. Write 1-2 paragraphs on each of those memories.
  • Add the emotions and feelings within each memory.
  • Go back and circle the emotion words within your writing. Those emotions are your purpose.
• The greatest failure in the world is achieving everything you want and still being unfulfilled.
• Once you've discovered your purpose, take those emotions and insert them into the activity you're undertaking. That's the way to find fulfillment in the things you do every day.
• Burnout is prevalent with dentists. A lot of that is due to internal narratives.
• We've all been trained to play small. We want to not be afraid of being human, of being normal.
• If you're doing something that's draining your batteries,
• 7 characteristics of yin and yang. When doing anything, consider these 7 questions. If what your doing answers most of these positively you'll be much more fulfilled.
  • Is it serving a sense of mission?
  • Did you do it from a place of freedom?
  • Are you doing it with love?
  • Was there adventure involved?
  • When you do this, does it fill you up?
  • Does it create a sense of safety?
  • Does it allow you to speak your truth through love?
• The two greatest factors for an extraordinary marriage are love and respect. Women desire love. Men want respect.
• 4 quadrants of life – all four need to be address in order to be fulfilled.
  • Logical – brain
  • Emotional – heart
  • Physical – body
  • Spiritual – soul
