Avi Weisfogel https://www.crunchbase.com/person/avi-weisfogel from The International Academy of Sleep, coming to you with today's message? But here's what it costs to buy a dental practice, not why is it so expensive? And yet when it comes to making a decision that honestly should change your entire world because people who are working with International Academy of Sleep, specifically those enrolled in the dental sleep MBA program, who are seeing 20 to 50 appliance patients every single month getting paid $3,000 or more. And then the question is, why is it so expensive? Or why is it so cheap? Those guys who asked me why it's so cheap, you know what? They're going to do. Succeed. They're going to go out there absolutely dominate their market. There'll be seeing 20 patients or more per month in no time, which should be resulting in 50 to $60,000 of profit every single month. So what is the cost to get involved with that? Imagine if I had a dental school. You were actually taught real business. You had somebody holding your hand walking through your mistakes. Every time you going to make a decision in the business world, you had somebody who had been through it, who had gone through the ups and downs and say, no, no, not a good move, great move, bad move, good move with no with nothing but your best interest at heart. Imagine that. Now, that is what Avi Weisfogel https://www.academia.edu/38675086/Avi_Weisfogel_Scam_Prevention International Academy of Sleep is about. We have been through it all in the sleep world. The ups downs, backwards, forwards. We have members who are absolutely dominating. We have members seeing a hundred appliances or more every single month. Now, I'm not telling you it's easy to get there, and I'm not telling you, every member sees that. I'm telling you every member is successful in their own way. Maybe somebody sees 10 appliances a month, which is more than most people. But what is it that would hold you back from going forward with a program that can absolutely change your life and honestly, the lives of thousands upon thousands of people around you think about it, pop it through and register for an intro course because you got to understand what it takes to get there. So we don't know that any, any, uh, anything back at our intro courses, we tell you everything we do. Coming into the course, I ask a question, who here wants a business that sees 20 to 50 appliances or more every single month making an average of $3,000 per appliance? And everyone raises their hand. I said, good cause I'm going to spend two and a half days telling you exactly what you need to do to do that. And then I'm going to ask that same question again. And if your hand is. Still raised well, you're on your way to being a success in dental sleep, which is a rarity in today's industry. Most people go see a couple patients, don't get paid and quit. Not International Academy of Sleep. We are going at it in a completely unique way. Get yourself over to an intro event as soon as possible. I hope to see you there soon. Have a great day.

Our conference, which is going to take place October 23rd and the 24th in Las Vegas is the first annual sleep con. Right. Somebody had to do it, so it's not Comic-Con, but it is sleep ton. Now, what is different about this meeting than any other meeting? I'll first off comparing this to the annual meetings that you go to and I've gone to myself is a world of difference. This is not going to be a, I'm going to go learn and hear another lecture about sleep. I'm going to go hear more people complain about why dentists have more rights. That is not what this is about. This is about a path for you. Especially a specific tailored path for you, and I'm talking to you because no matter who you are, we are going to create a path for you. Your path may have 80% business, 20% science. Yours may have 50 50 years, may have advanced business. Yours may have. Began her business years, may have advanced billing, beginner billing. Yours may have advanced science. You may have begin or science. It really depends on your level. They're going to be not one, but two of the best keynote speakers you will hear all year. And I'm willing to save the best speakers you hear all year. Uh, I know because I've heard them before, and there's a reason specifically that we are bringing these guys to our event. One's going to start the event, one's going to finish the event, and when the event is over. No, it's Saturday night and you've just had an incredible conference and you've heard lectures that blow your mind. You then get to go to the iOS Halloween party, which is the best time in the industry. I don't care who you are. Whether you like going to parties, whether you'd want to stay home, whether Halloween and getting dressed up for Halloween. Sounds ridiculous. You are looking at the world's biggest introvert. I don't like parties. When the first idea of a Halloween party came out, uh, and it was brought to my attention. I made sure that our Halloween party was in our hotel in a private room so nobody could see me dressed up ridiculously. Now, this was in new Orleans four years ago, and I got to admit, after about two hours, the party was pretty lane. It was just us sitting around having dinner. In costume and we were in new Orleans and someone suggested, Hey, we have all this leftover food. Let's go feed the homeless. Great idea. And we started walking around in, what was amazing was if you were not in costume in new Orleans at...

That we have planned here at IAOs and there's only X amount we can do with, you know, the main guy leading the ship and then the team doing as much as they possibly can.  Everybody's got their strengths. You know, mine, I have pretty good vision for where I want things to go to help get you there. You need that person who's gonna really put things into play and that. Is what we have found with this amazing person coming to work with us. So I am going to be so excited for you guys to meet her and it's an exciting time. Now I'm about to give you an exclusive, this is an exclusive, that is not public information yet you are getting it because. You're you, but, this is an exclusive, not available to the public yet. We are doing something really special. We're always doing amazing things. As you know, 25th, 20, 20 January is the cruise practice of the year. Somebody walking out with a wad of cash, not too bad, for practice of the year. You know, you're already a member. I've international Academy of sleep.

I am 100% that guy who tells you and tells everyone the following, there is no such thing as the right time. I'd love to do it, but the timing's bad. My words to that are completely B. S the timing is never right. Major decisions happen in life and you have to make them because you're a busy person. The last time I was not busy it got me. Yeah. Maybe the first year after, maybe the summer after the first year of dental school, I had a month off. I was the last time, I wasn't busy. Ever since then. Maybe you got two weeks off for dental school. That wasn't time off. That was time to breathe. And then I started my businesses and I was busy all the time. There was no such thing as a time where the time was right. so I have started living by, the timing is always. Right. Right. That timing is always right. So I am announcing the first ever sleep con. That's right. Sleep con. I've Comic-Con not a regular meeting. Sleep con sleep con is going to be taking place in conjunction with. Our best event of the year.

In today's episode of The Entrepreneurial Dentist, Avi Weisfogel discusses how to build a dental practice so that you can sell it for maximum value.  Listen to the podcast or watch the video podcast on Vimeo Avi Weisfogel's Video Podcast on Selling Your Dental Practice Read the Transcript of the Podcast Below Avi Weisfogel, The Entrepreneurial Dentist coming to you guys with the tips for today, which is really looking at the value of your practice. What the practice value is, and listen, what did, what do you get when you sell your practice? You know, part of my mission is always to make it so when a dentist goes to sell his life's work, he gets the max for it. Even then, it's not the prettiest thing. The trajectory path of most dentists is build your practice, keep your practice way past the point of its highest peak, and then sell it. As we know, dental practice itself are typically around 70 cents on the dollar. What I mean by that is there's this formula and this formula was just put out by someone and it's accepted. 70% of like the three year average growth seems to be a number that practices go for. Now. Of course, there are times where it goes for a little higher. There's times where it may go for lower. Let's talk about a time it may go for higher. DSO is are coming in with all sorts of offers and you feel like you've just hit the jackpot. What comes with that. A big restriction on your time. So it's like, well, I, this is great. I'm getting such an offer. How can I turn it down? But then you're not looking into the full picture, the full picture of how much you're able to create revenue wise during the period that you are beholden to this DSO three years, five years. And then what are you able to do in addition to when you sell out to this DSO. Yeah. It's a difficult process. So if you sell it to a DSL where your number gets higher, you're actually losing more money than if you just sold it, walked away and did something different with your time where you were actually maximizing the value I have. So there's an exercise that you should do. It's called how much do I need to make per hour to pay my bills. And how much do I need to make per hour to pay my bills, put some money away for retirement, and how much do I need to make per hour to pay my bills, make some money for retirement, put some money away for a time and have a little fun in the process. And these are the numbers you need to know because then you judge the activities and it can't be shortsighted. It can't just be, well, if I need to make $500 per hour and I'm about to get 700,000 look at the headstart it gave me. But what do you weigh then then able to do with that time is really the issue and if you sell for a lot and you are stuck and you now have to work for X amount of years at X production, salary, whatever it may be, how is your numbers looking then. Yeah. Let's talk about another thing that goes into it. Equipment  I, I've talked about this numerous times. How much of value does the equipment get in this process? The answer, unfortunately, is none. I recently met a dentist who bought somebody old equipment. Oh, patients attached no money. You know, she paid for the equipment. There was a bank that actually funded this, even though this wasn't the right thing to do. You can get into trouble way too easily in this industry. There has to come a time where you start to look at things the way a businessman does. You have to stop thinking like a dentist. You have to start looking at the alternatives and the possibilities of what you can make in this world. Of what you're capable of doing. You know, your job. If you're like me, my job was, Hey, I'm a man. I get to go support the family. Yes, I know old fashioned ideas. Women make a great living these days. I know plenty of successful, uh, females in the world of dentistry and business in general, but I felt it was my responsibility to support the family. That was the gig that was put...

This is the first of many of these to come. What is business in general? Any business, no matter what business you're in. Sales rules, high sales cures all. If you're doing a lot of selling, you're doing well. Now as a dentist, maybe selling seems to you a little bit different. Why? Because people are coming to you asking for your expertise and so you're selling them. But how many patients. Sold. Did you sell a crown too? How many of those patients needed that crown? And I mean, a really needed it. Like what happens if they don't have that crown? Anything? Life is over. They have one less tooth to chew on. What happened? We would just take that to the out. So you're selling them a service. Now you're selling them something you're used to selling. So you're not thinking of yourself as a salesperson. So. How do we then create a salesperson out of someone who doesn't consider them to be a sales person? And this is what we want to help you do. Let's talk about leadership. Turning dentists into leaders right now. This is one of the things that most, and the struggle is staff, staff turnover. Uh, getting staff to do what you need them to do, what you're asking them to do, getting them to do it. Uh, and be happy to do it. You know, getting peak performance out of your staff. I've seen a lot of dentists who have staff like the same three staff members for 45 years, and typically those offices, coast money is of zero concern whatsoever. You do however you do, and everybody's happy and everybody does their jobs and it wouldn't work any other way. I've also seen dentists offices where staff turnover is like 18 months or less. And there's another staff member and another staff member, and it's usually not about money. It's usually just about life. You know, life getting in the way. What is stopping this person from achieving their goals and their dreams? Is it you? Is all of a sudden the grass greener at doctor so and so's office rather than your office? What was it that your office was not able to do? And usually this comes down to simple leadership. So today's tip. For you is to focus on what you're doing well. So a lot of people tend to look at the negative aspects of it all. What's not working? This isn't working, that isn't working well. Something's working. You have a business, it's open. You have some patients come to you. I assume you have some satisfied patients. What is it that worked that got you those patients? What were the behaviors? What were the marketing strategies? How did that person end up in your office? And it's called focusing on those positives rather than dwelling on the negatives. Hey, we produced X amount this month, but we really needed to produce X plus Y. We'll start focusing on the fact that in order to produce, let's say, 100,000 a month, you first need to produce 50 what did you do that got you to produce that 50,000 and what behaviors can you repeat that will allow you to get to a hundred. So you've got to do different things to get you there, but you got to focus in on the ones that are working and do more of the same. Whatever's working, keep doing it. Chances are things will end up exactly where you want them to. Eye on the prize guys. Goals systems get you everywhere, right? So I was speaking to someone today. We were talking about how, you know. Slow and...

  In this episode of Avi Weisfogel's The Entrepreneurial Dentist, Dr. Avi Weisfogel discusses how to avoid a lawsuit, and how not have your license revoked by the Dental Board. How to Avoid Having Your License Revoked When you come out of dental school you could be somewhere around $600,000 in debt, and all you get is a piece of paper.  You do not have your dental degree. Yes, you're technically a doctor but not necessarily a practicing doctor you, now have to take a test right which we all know is the board's to be able practice, and this is only for certain areas of the country, which insanity that we can't even agree that if you pass the test you could practice. And then that little piece of paper called your license can be taken away and revoked at any time by a random group of strangers, all of them believe that they're better than you. This is fact guys. If you've ever gone in front of the Dental Board, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Nothing gave me more pleasure in my life then going up to them and saying, “hey see this license” (ripping it up). now think about that. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on my license just to get my license and then to be able to go and do that in front of a board was I'm telling you one of my most fulfilling moments of my life but in reality sounds insane.
