When Perfection Becomes A Prison: Focus On Outcomes & Watch Your Practice Grow

Precision Can Choke Progress
Dental school wires you to hunt flaws. Great when you are bonding brackets. Lethal when every meeting turns into a micro-error autopsy. Julie Nise calls that “sort by distinction” — your first instinct is to spot what is wrong, not what moves the ball forward .
Set The Scoreboard Before You Swing
Start each day by writing one result you actually care about: net profit, lower turnover or an extra afternoon with your kids. Then use a two-step test on every task:
  1. Does this touch the goal? If not, park it.
  2. Can I see, hear or feel proof when it is done? Concrete evidence beats wish-list words .
  3. Build Your Zoom-Out Muscle
    • Third-person check-in – step outside your own head before you reply; it cools arguments fast .
    • Lead with common ground – agreement first, exceptions second; patients respond to “I get you” far quicker than to jargon .
    • Daily empathy reps – train TCs and assistants to mirror pace, language and tone so rapport becomes reflex .
    • Plug Outcomes Into Daily Ops

      What to change
      Why it pays
      Same-day starts
      Cut the info-dump. Sign contract, take payment, schedule scan.
      “Time kills all deals” — talk less, close more
      Role-play until scripts sing
      “See one, do one, teach one.” Two full days of drilling beats a dusty SOP
      Consistency at the phone and front desk lifts conversion and review scores.
      Budget like an owner
      Live below your means and fund marketing 12 months before launch
      Cash-flow calm > shiny new cone-beam you cannot afford.
      Action Checklist
      • Run a ten-minute “Outcome Audit” with the team. Cross out tasks that do not hit a KPI.
      • Replace the word right with helpful for one week. Watch tension drop.
      • Record three consultations. Tag every minute that drifted into detail land. Fix the script and re-record.
      • Work With Julie Nise

        Bottom Line
        Practices grow where attention goes. Trade the microscope for a simple compass, coach your team to do the same and you will create a practice that prints wins at work and at home.
