It's time for one of Kiera's favorite topics: tackling the important versus the urgent. Ever notice that you always have time to do the things you like to do, but never have enough for the tasks you don't care for? For example, recare outbound calls or tracking overhead.

In this episode, Kiera shares advice on how to actually get the important to-dos done each day — as an owner or another position.

If you have dedicated time for your important stuff, it'll free up your schedule (and brain) of stressors.

It's a hot topic episode: Raises! Kiera shares her beliefs around raises, and why implementing a tiered raise system (or hiring the Dental A-Team to establish one) is so beneficial. Do team members in your practice know how to get a raise? Do you find yourself throwing money at problems instead of figuring it out? Do your employees feel stuck?

The perks of a tiered raise system include:

• Confidence in knowing how much you're paying and why

• Control of each employee to attain a raise

• Inspire self-sufficiency among team members

• Take the scariness out of reviews and check-ins
