In this episode, Dr. Jeff Buske talks about a storm in the Grandbury Area and a porta-potty sitting in the empty lot next to their house where there’s an open construction. At one point, a gust of heavy wind picked it up and threw it off on its side, revealing an ugly sight of blue poo. Everything was taken care of the next morning, but Dr. Buske talks about the symbolism of the porta-potty linked...

How often do you spend time on your phone in a day? How about spending time talking with your loved ones? Have you ever stopped for a moment and looked at how things are going on around you?  There are a lot of things that we fail to notice every day because we are, most of the time, glued to our smartphones, almost 24/7.

As a dentist, Doctor Buske knows pretty well how to deal with patients, and he is also aware, of course, of what customer satisfaction is. In today’s episode, he narrates his dissatisfaction to an auto dealership company which he used in leasing his two vehicles. Because of his desire to buy a BMW, he exerted an extra mile in getting in touch with them but to no avail. Fortunately, he felt the war...

Why is it common to focus more on the reasons why we can’t do something, rather than what we have to do to get the desired result?  Dr. Buske’s patient was blown away by the lengths that he went to deliver when he could’ve just told them why they needed to come back Monday.  Where are you giving reasons instead of results?  Keep your focus on the results, regardless of the time and effort needed t...

Dr. Buske knows that stress can cascade into every area of your life if you don’t deal with it in a timely manner.  The field of dentistry is no stranger to stress and Jeff had to learn through trial and error that neither stuffing it down or sedating it would keep it at bay.  Why do we spend so much time running from and denying our stress?  Collide with it early on and take away its power.   Lea...

Following the retirement of his business partner, Dr. Buske reflects on all he learned from his friend and mentor.  The most important lesson being that none of us are entitled, as Jeff admits he entered the world of dentistry as an entitled man.  Not wanting to fail before he even started, Jeff had to commit to taking action every day to earn and keep his patients trust.  Where in life do you fal...

This Memorial Day Dr. Buske and his wife didn’t fire up the grill or buy a new mattress, they attended a remembrance ruck.  As they walked along, very aware of the additional 30 pounds on their backs, Jeff thought of the weight so many of us bear every day.  He challenges listeners to ask themselves two simple questions.  If we’re honest with ourselves, those answers just might be the first step i...

If you’re like Dr. Buske you aren’t a fan of the participation trophy generation.  Jeff is proud to see that his son is outcome-driven and understands that in sports there is a winner and a loser.  What about in business though?  If you’re only concerned about your bottom line or winning, then your customers lose and soon enough you will start to lose too.  Look for win-win situations and keep the...
