Every orthodontist listening to this podcast knows the significance of continuing education (CE), not only in clinical aspects but also in leadership and management courses.

Whenever I talk to orthodontists, they complain that their practice isn't where they want it to be. Yet they are unwilling to invest time in developing their leadership, clinical, or entrepreneurial skills.

It's common to hear people use the excuse of not having enough time, but they manage to take 4-6 weeks of vacation every year.

Now, I'm not saying vacations aren't important, but investing in CE is just as important if you want your practice to grow, reduce your stress, and increase your profitability.

So, the next time you're about to make an excuse for missing a meeting because of yet another vacation, take a step back and reconsider your priorities. And remember, it's all about balance!
