Success in 2025 Shifting Perspective to Maximize the Present

2024 is in the rearview mirror and the uncertain future is fast approaching; are you looking backward or forward? In this Season 12 Opener, Ruddle & Lisette discuss how a shift in perspective can introduce new possibility in the present. Then, the duo reveal the 5 things that the fastest growing dental practices are doing. After, Ruddle is at the Board, “delving deeper” into the value of pre-treatment. Demotivators return to close the show; with the right perspective, these bits of sarcastic wisdom will do wonders for your mental health in 2025.
