Good News… I suggest you Read this article "Many Cutbacks But Not for Straight Teeth" to start your year off on a positive note.  Even though the article was published months ago, it is still relevant in 2010.

The good news is parents with disposable income, even during tough economic times, feel straightening their kids teeth is still a high priority when it comes to the personal development of  their kids and a good return on investment.  A great smile sends a message to people both socially and in the business environment today.

surf the webMany philosophers, current gurus, writers and poets always preach we should live in the present.  If we make the most of each day, our future will be created in kind.  My favorite quote is by Thoreau…

"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this.”

Speed In MarketingWe're all guilty of being perfectionists at one time or another. However, in orthodontic marketing it can be detrimental…

It's appropriate to strive for a perfect Class I occlusion when treating orthodontic patients or in my case,  the perfect Web 2.0 Internet marketing program to catapult your practice to page one on Google in a highly competitive area. That's okay… Being anal-retentive about some things in our life is normal, and maybe even necessary for our emotional well-being.

Speed Not Perfection

Think of the ONE orthodontic Marketing programs you wanted to start or finish in the past year… but your perfectionism has crippled and even paralyzed your progress.

I myself am guilty of the this.  My new mantra for 2009 is "Speed To Market" with my new products for Internet marketing.  Whenever I find myself paralyzed in a moment trying to make everything perfect, I am going to remind myself "sloppy success is better than perfect mediocrity."
