If you are interested in learning how to make the most of your time as a dental professional, this is the episode for you! Dr. Aaron Liddell has managed to get to a point where almost all of his time is productively spent, and he has a team of people positioned around him to do the rest. Aaron explains how he ended up taking the road less traveled in terms of the dentistry fields that exist, and although it may be the more difficult path, the passion he has for his work is unwavering. Among other topics, our discussion covers the benefits of partnerships (when you are ready for them), why it sometimes makes much more sense to hire mid-level practitioners than associates, and Aaron’s thoughts on why there aren’t more dentists doing the kind of work that he does. Work out what you want to do, how you are going to do it, and stick to it!
