E-mail message this week .. reflection

The New Year is just around the corner and its time to reflect on what woulda, coulda and 
shoulda. Reflection is always a healthy exercise. Time to focus on past resolutions and 
goals. Best to determine weakness to avoid future failures. Better to bolster areas than be 
disappointed and later burnt out. Better yet, itıs time to analyze and plan assurances so next 
year will be better. Remember we are a business driven industry. As such, we need to meet 
goals and profit from our work. Every action stimulates a reaction and for us it should be 
new patients, maintained patients, committed staff and a community that appreciates your 
learned professional skills all while profiting and accumulating the wealth you deserve.  

As I reflect upon this past year I look at my financial spreadsheet and smile that I have more 
black than red. I frown when plans are laid out and so many were either dashed or put 
aside. Reflecting on this is also a healthy exercise. Why was a plan in the thought stage 
only to be set aside? Who was responsible to implement the plan and was it well thought 
out? Was I lazy and brushed away the enthusiasm of others allowing good ideas to go 
fallow? Did I seek help prior to recreating the wheel or was my ego so fragile that asking 
for help was beneath me? Was I budgeting time and money or was it getting out of hand 
that dropping a project was more profitable than going through with it? A lot to ponder but 
reflecting on these questions help make future plans work. A good idea should be nurtured 
and allowed to bloom and not to die on the vine. Reflection is good. 

I also reflect on my strengths and weaknesses. We are the sole reason for success or 
failure. Our ability to lead sets the tone and stimulates the process. Was I weak not to 
follow through and was I the one that signed off? Did I agree to an idea that I later never 
implemented? You name it, patient lectures, community projects, internal promotions, 
holiday events, referral concepts, staff education, seminar weekends, honing my technical 
skills, writings and more. You bet, on reflection I failed. But to be fair, I did have my 
strengths Š.. let me think.

I refuse to make a New Year resolution since it usually lasts a week or so. Instead I will 
make some promises. I promise to reflect on this past year and plan better for the new one. 
I promise to ask for help and share my ideas and goals with many rather that hoarding it all 
to myself. I promise to take baby steps while venturing in new waters rather than jumping 
in and floundering to stay afloat. I promise to lay out plans and ideas so enough time and 
money can be set aside. I promise to streamline office procedures and purchase wisely to 
help the bottom line. I promise to give of myself without draining me. I hope to have fun 
doing it all. As you reflect, fill in the blanks Š. Next week may bring in the New Year but 
itıs just another day. 

As I reflect, I also want to thank you for reading these weekly messages and for referring 
your fellow colleagues to request I send them an e-mail as well. Have them visit my 
website and subscribe there or send me their e-mail addresses and I will welcome them 
aboard.

Have a Healthy and Happy and Prosperous New Year

Dr. M
