Dr. Mark Costes was featured in one of Dr. Nacho’s most recent live events. Dr. Goodman has been focusing on bringing dental students the knowledge they need to succeed after school. In classic fashion, he brought Dr. Costes in to discuss the business end of things. They get into EBITDA, overhead, and all the numbers behind a successful dental practice. The lecture is carried by two case studies that draw out the huge differences small decisions can make on the health of your practice.

During the show, they cover:

Setting the tone with a morning routine
Thinking through systems while in school
What it means to be a black belt and what it really takes
Real world dentistry

What makes a black belt?

Our lead black belt coach, Dr. Addison Killeen, is on the show today to talk about the traits that make black belts what they are. The longer we do this, the more obvious it becomes who is going to make it to black belt status in a hurry. And, the truth is it often has more to do with the way they show up than the current trajectory of their business.

All black belts…

Have an elite command of their business
Strive for improvement in each quadrant of the four futures
