Sometimes the truth hurts. There are those that are alive, those that thrive, those that deny and those that survive. Those that are alive progress in any market because they are alive and open to the belief that they will always give and receive value from all communication and if they can gain one thing of value from a presentation, they are happy. Those that thrive are usually successful … to a point. Their results are up and down because they are addicted to survive. Thrive rimes with survive and the reason that they thrive is because they are always working. They are often angry about this and project their attack onto anyone that reaches out with a new message that could help them. They can’t hear the new message because they are overwhelmed and pissed off with the old message that keeps them addicted to survival. Those that just try to survive do so by living each day just trying to get to the end of it almost hoping that the phone doesn’t ring because it could mean that they would have to get off their lazy ass and do something. They have signed off from most of their business lives because they are fed up as they tried to get their lack of approval, recognition, safety and worthiness through their work and now it is “what is the use”. Then there are those that just plain deny. It is like the Hebrew proverb; ten percent of the people make things happen, eighty percent watch things happen and ten percent don’t have a clue that anything happened at all. Life is about messages. If you get the message then you receive an attainment and you go onto the next level. If you don’t get the message, then you create a problem. If you don’t fix the problem, then you create a crisis, then you get the message. Just remember, don’t shoot the messenger! .-= Simon Reilly´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SimonReillysBlog/~3/R1pf_CDvHf0/" rel="nofollow">In Memory Of Chase</a> =-.

We get an awful lot of information from one side of the argument and it seems a shame not to hear the other. From my limited experience being good at business makes you better not worse at dentistry. You value your product more, you value your customers more and you value your team more. I'm just glad I got the chance to see you while you still giged up here as it has made a huge and positive influence on my career. Well I better say no more as I'm still employed by the aforementioned deanery but what a shame .-= Chris O'Connor´s last blog ..<a href="http://chrisoconnorblog.com/?p=920" rel="nofollow">Please help- Inci-Dental listings!</a> =-.

Those that can, do. Those that can't, quite often but not always, flee to the safety of a salaried post from whence they can pontificate about denigrate those who choose to plough their own furrough. The 15% who loved your message will act on it and have a great, challenging career but we must accept that there is a significant body of the population who never think and form their own opinions; they simply repeat the last opinion they heard.

Sean Fitzpatrick was inspiring and Paddi Lund (whilst being extraordinarily laid back) had some absolutely brilliant ideas that I will be implementing Monday morning. Your presentation also challenged me, especially the issue of surgery branding which I hadn't really looked in to too much. I don't agree with everything you say, but I am always challenged by what you say. What amazes me is that the education establishments that deride you aren't able to see that taking a view on something is what starts a debate... and it's the educated debate that is the real catalyst for change. If no-one ever stood up and said anything controversial there would never be any debate and we'd never move forwards. Let them do what they always have and get what they always got; their comments belong firmly where you put them! By your own definition you must now be an uber-guru? cheers, Mark Chris,
