The conversation between financial abundance and our deepest beliefs forms the heart of this enlightening episode with money mindset expert Tom Fortes-Mayer. We dive deep into the psychological foundations that determine our financial reality—exploring how our thoughts, beliefs, and expectations directly shape our wealth outcomes.

Tom explains the fascinating concept of "dirty fuel" versus "clean fuel" in our money motivations. Many achieve success through fear-based drives—proving worth, compensating for past wounds, or seeking validation through achievement. While effective to a point, this creates unnecessary friction. The alternative—operating from abundance, intrinsic value, and certainty—allows for effortless expansion and greater wealth attraction.

Through compelling personal stories, Tom illustrates how unconscious beliefs create invisible financial ceilings. He shares how a childhood conversation about £300 weekly wages mysteriously capped his own earnings at precisely this amount years later—until he identified and transformed this limiting belief. Similarly, his father's debt issues created emotional imprints that unconsciously shaped his own financial behaviors until conscious examination freed him from these patterns.

The episode culminates in Tom's remarkable "umbrella miracle" story—a powerful demonstration of how shifting from frustration to gratitude manifested an unexpected solution in a moment of need. This wasn't mere coincidence but evidence of how our internal state affects external possibilities. "We can rail against what is, or we can choose our response and bring the magic back to life."

What makes this conversation truly valuable is its blend of profound insight with practical application. Tom provides a framework for identifying limiting money beliefs, understanding their origins, and consciously replacing them with empowering alternatives. By clearing these psychological blocks, we can increase our capacity to welcome wealth in all its forms—financial resources, time, opportunity, and fulfillment.

Looking to transform your relationship with money and success? Consider exploring your own unconscious beliefs and how they might be limiting your financial potential. The greatest wealth may be waiting just beyond your current belief systems.

What drives a dentist to take the leap from associate to practice owner? For Dr. Zain Remy, it wasn't about financial rewards but something far more personal – the quest for clinical freedom and the ability to practice dentistry according to his own values.

This candid conversation takes you behind the glossy façade of practice ownership to reveal the messy, challenging, yet ultimately rewarding journey of a recent dental practice acquisition. Zain shares the pivotal moments that pushed him toward ownership: carrying a personal box of private materials between NHS patients, facing pressure to complete crown preparations in just 40 minutes, and feeling his passion for dentistry slipping away under corporate constraints.

With refreshing honesty, Zain details the unexpected hurdles that greeted him as a new owner – from discovering out-of-date stock dating back to 2006 that forced him to temporarily close the practice, to previous owners undermining his new pricing structure with patients. His strategy for navigating these challenges offers valuable insights for anyone considering practice ownership.

The discussion explores how social media became a crucial tool in Zain's transition, allowing him to build a personal brand that attracted aligned patients and created professional opportunities. His approach to TikTok, Facebook and Instagram provides practical guidance for dentists looking to establish their own digital presence.

Perhaps most valuable is Zain's reflection on the emotional journey of leadership – becoming what he calls the "emotional obelisk" for his team while managing his own anxieties about business performance. His perspective that "if you're not out of your comfort zone, you're doing something wrong" captures the growth mindset necessary for successful practice ownership.

Join the conversation with Dr. Zain Remy and discover why, despite all the challenges, he confidently affirms that taking control of his professional destiny was unquestionably worth it. Connect with Zain's supportive community of practice owners through his Facebook group "Diary of Dental Practice Owners" where weekly discussions provide ongoing support for current and aspiring principals.

What if the key to transforming your dental practice profitability wasn't working harder, but working smarter? Dr. Amit Jilka's journey provides a masterclass in strategic dental business growth that any practice owner can learn from.

Starting with a modest single-surgery practice generating £300,000 annually in 2012, Dr. Jilka has built a remarkable dental enterprise now spanning 18 chairs across multiple locations, with a team of 35 clinicians completing over 550 implants and 400 orthodontic cases yearly. The transformation wasn't accidental, but methodically engineered through three critical pillars: exceptional Treatment Coordinators, comprehensively trained associates, and outstanding practice managers.

The revelation of properly implemented TCOs is perhaps most striking. Unlike the common misconception that TCOs are merely glorified receptionists, Dr. Jilka's TCOs conduct 30-45 minute appointments, performing scans, discussing financing, and comprehensive treatment options before patients even meet the dentist. This approach has dramatically increased both treatment plan acceptance rates (from 60% to 80% for implants) and overall treatment values.

What's particularly fascinating is Dr. Jilka's counterintuitive approach to personal clinical time. By reducing his own clinical hours to just half a day weekly and dedicating several days to mentoring associates instead, he initially took a personal income hit – but saw practice profitability soar. This powerful demonstration of working ON rather than IN the business highlights the leverage gained through systematic associate training and development.

The practice also employs distinct workflows for different treatment modalities, recognizing that implant and orthodontic patient journeys require different approaches to nurturing and conversion. Their structured follow-up protocol for high-value implant consultations exemplifies the attention to detail that drives their exceptional performance.

Whether you're struggling with case acceptance, associate productivity, or finding time to strategically grow your practice, Dr. Jilka's proven systems offer a roadmap to greater profitability without sacrificing clinical excellence or work-life balance. Ready to transform your dental practice from surviving to thriving? The blueprint is right here.
