Dentistry On FIRE

Every obstacle is an opportunity, and just like doors, they need to be unlocked with the right keys to make a significant change. Overcoming these obstacles would open up tremendous opportunities to help you achieve your vision and your long term targets. In this episode, Dr. Jeff Buske recalls a story when he found his dog Ozzy, who’s very skilled in using his paws to open house doors, made it in...

Dr. Buske had a rough day at the office recently when one client ran late, causing him to be late for his next client.  Tired of waiting, the second client walked out before being seen.  Dr. Buske called her immediately because he knew he needed to restore his integrity.  With things all smoothed over, Dr. Buske thought that was the end of it, but one of his employees had more to say on it. She la...

Do you believe that words have power?  There’s a Japanese businessman who believes that human consciousness can affect the molecular structure of water.  Dr. Buske knows that words can be progressive and positive, or depressing and demeaning.  While building his new waterfront dream home, Dr. Buske decided to write words of affirmation on the foundation in different rooms.  He wrote ‘fun’ in the l...

Since turning 50, Dr. Buske has been feeling like life is going by faster and faster and faster.  After giving it some thought, he realized that when things are repetitive, his brain doesn’t have vivid memories and everything just kind of runs together.  A lot of us have routines and habits that we do every day.  Dr. Buske is all for creating positive habits that help you get the results you want,...

There are four main domains of our lives: faith, fitness, family, and finances.  All four need to be in balance and harmony.  The kicker is, you’re 100% responsible for making that happen. Dr. Buske shares that back in December he experienced some chest pains and tingling in his arms.  Thinking he was having a heart attack, he went to the ER.  After lots of tests and blood work, all results were g...

As Jeff reflects on his last men’s training, Ignite The Warrior, he recognizes a lesson learned regarding how something looks vs it’s results.  The purpose of the training was to focus on the warrior archetype of man, and to kill old patterns that weren’t of service and set new ones to allow movement to the next level.  It’s an intensive training, and for one participant it was just too much, caus...

Today Dr. Jeff Buske is talking about impact, integrity, and the mask.  Recently, while traveling to Scottsdale, AZ for a dental event, a young man on Dr. Buske’s flight decided to take a stand against wearing a mask.  The problem was he didn’t make that stand by refusing to support the airlines.  He didn’t make his stand while boarding the plane, either.  He waited until the plane was out on the...

Today’s guest Danny was a participant in the men’s training Heroes Calling, and he’s here to share his experience.  Starting out on food stamps, Danny always knew he wanted to be his own boss to take care of his family.  He bought his own practice and eventually got to a point where they didn’t have to worry about money.  However, he was so focused on the business he wasn’t present for his family....

We’re back with part two with Dr. Paul Goodman of Dental Nachos.  Much like the Dental Syndicate, Dental Nachos is a way to collaborate, learn to make business better, and learn to be nicer to patients and family.  At the end of the day, it’s a way to help dentists feel less alone and be proud of what they do.  Dental Nachos is a forum to share stories and develop core strategies.  Dr. Goodman say...

In a special two part series, Dr. Buske has Dr. Paul Goodman in the studio to share his story.  Growing up with a dentist as a father, Paul saw an opportunity to help people while being your own boss.  Paul decided to follow in his dad’s footsteps and enroll in dental school.  He shares that he really struggled and almost dropped out, but was glad he stuck it out.  He ended up really enjoying his...

Dr. Jeff Buske is joined today by special guest Eric Block, the author of The Stress-Free Dentist.  Eric’s father was a dentist, and Eric wanted nothing to do with the profession growing up.  After trying on a few different hats, Eric found himself out drinking one night and broke his tooth on a beer bottle.  The next day he went to a local dentist and enjoyed the experience so much he decided may...

Do you find yourself feeling drained throughout the day?  It could be because you’re trying to pour from an empty cup.  We have to fill our cup first so that we can freely give to others with no strings attached.  Self-care means investing in yourself every day.  Whether that looks like having a personal trainer or a mindset coach, we can all benefit from learning how to orchestrate our perfect da...

What makes a man powerful?  It’s not how loud he can get, it’s how vulnerable he can get.  Jeff once had a mentor that told him a boy doesn’t become a man until he no longer fears disapproval, and a man doesn’t become free until he no longer needs approval.  When we no longer need approval, our cup is full.  When our cup is full we are free to be who we are.  Vulnerability is a pathway to power th...

When asked how you are, do you give the conditioned response of “I’m fine” even when you’re not?  Jeff’s life appeared to be working well from the outside, but it was all fake.  He decided he couldn’t live this lie for one more minute.  After a night of drinking with his wife, with their walls down, the truth came out.  Jeff’s wife informed him that his family walked on eggshells around him.  He d...

Dr. Buske is here again with his daily takeaway, and that is ‘respect is earned’.  After a very crazy day yesterday and lots of after-hours work, Dr. Buske’s team mates earned his respect significantly.  Now, he can have appreciation and gratitude for his team easily, but respect is earned.  The definition of respect is as follows: a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by...

It’s time for another daily takeaway with Dr. Buske.  Today he reminds us that frustration equals opportunity.  In talking with his wife last night he knew her energy wasn’t great and she was very frustrated.  When Dr. Buske asked if she wanted to sit down and talk about it she said not right now.  He reminded her not to stuff it down and hope it goes away, because it won’t.  He also told her that...

Dr. Buske drops in to share his daily takeaway which is ‘go again’.  He was having some issues last night trying to do some Zoom recordings. He had to do things multiple times and spent an hour he didn’t really have which left him frustrated.  During his morning meditation today the words ‘go again’ came up.  Dr. Buske says for him that means he has a commitment to his result.  Between the stimulu...

Dr. Jeff Buske just finished up his first Dental Syndicate Wealth Weekend and he’s sharing his biggest takeaway.  During the event they put participants through an exercise without giving them a lot of information on how to complete the task.  They immediately got to work trying different solutions but none of them worked and they were just left spinning their wheels.  How often does that happen t...

Dr. Jeff Buske is sharing his daily takeaway, which is that ‘perception is projection is reality’.  He had an opportunity to put those words of wisdom into action recently when a patient had a poor experience.  The patient  had to see a different provider as Dr. Buske was in surgery.  The patient didn’t feel like they received the same level of care that they normally do.  Dr. Buske had to get the...
