Confidence abounds – if you look
Driving from Falmouth to London yesterday morning was my chance to catch up on Radio 4, the “Today†programme and, thus, judge the mood of middle-England. The usual bad news prevails, of course:
- the poignant recollections of those who were present at Hillsborough 20 years ago
- the worrying trend of the police … Read the Rest
Taxi!
This week’s ezine (published last night) features the latest developments in the Ollie and Darsh marketing plan. And I receive a further update from Suzy Gorman this morning with yet another initiative (as you will see below). If this practice doesn’t enter and win “Best Practice Marketing†at the Dentistry Awards, I’ll be very frustrated. … Read the Rest
Sleepless in cash flow land
Its now 9:00 and I’ve been sat at my desk since 4:45 this morning – I actually woke at about 4:00 and just lay there in bed working out cash flows and fantasising about what could go wrong. Is it me? I have this ongoing issue/phobia around organising professional and personal finances – and if … Read the Rest

Easter in Falmouth
Here’s me testing the link from Macjournal to my blog this morning.
Radio advertising
I have worked with a number of dental practices in the last few years who have taken advantage of local independent radio advertising. The overall feedback is that results do appear – listeners respond to specific offers PLUS the visibility of the practice is increased. You always have to be careful about the demographic you … Read the Rest
The danger of being busy
Approaching the Easter weekend, I was in conversation with Sonya Hamill this morning and reminded of an old statement: I’m too busy earning a living to make any money There are times when you are, as Michael Gerber would say, “doing it, doing it, doing it” – and for a successful dentist that might mean … Read the Rest
Its never too early….
…..to screw up on customer service. I wake at 3.30am and drive to Newquay Airport to catch the 6:30 to Manchester via Bristol. For once, Air South West make both flights and deliver a passable experience. Arriving in Manchester, I walk over to the Radisson SAS – you know, that hotel where all the staff … Read the Rest
