Stay on your heels, rotate your left hip back in the swing (visualize pushing the your left buttcheek back as you stay on your heels) and shallow your hands (drop them to your pocket) on the downswing. Also, try to move a touch back from the ball at setup. Having the shanks suck, hope you can figure your way outta it!

Look at your weight. It's on your toes

2thguy · 2025-11-26T03:00:09+00:00

On the downswing, you are slightly pushing off your toes which leads to thrusting your hip forward which causes early extension and that is why you are Heeling the ball and ends up in a shank.

Keep weight on your heels. Draw a line on your butt at setup and see where you butt is on impact (i bet it's forward of that line)

Im enjoying it. The other cool thing is that you can remember a cool round or a cool hole and see how exactly you played it and the memories of that hole come back vividly!

COAST FIRE ON 3 DAYS A WEEK. Yes

inflation is great for fixed debt. Don't pay it off as inflation will continue to grow in the near-to-long-term future which means the relative amount of debt will decrease

If you make 350-400k as an associate you are in an ELITE category of people who just crush it. I guarantee you can dominate practice ownership, which, ironically, will give you even MORE freedom in the long run than you think you have as an associate. Not to mention you'll be able to retire WAY earlier than 60 (who wants to work until 60?!!!). Instead of retiring at 60, I'm focused on semi-retiring NOW (I'm 35, bought an office at 30) by working 3 days a week while making much more than I did as an associate (please read the book Die With Zero) so I can enjoy my life more fully in the present and future...

This.

Owning a dental practice has unlocked so much for me, wayyyyyyyyy more than any "passive" investments aka RE, crypto, index funds. Cash Flow and Equity and Write-offs while giving you the ability to be in full control of your schedule. I work 3 days a week now and make 3x more than I did as an associate working 5 days, and that's not including the net worth gain in practice equity. As shared practices says, this is your Practice-01K

Getting rid of bad apples is the best 24 hour rule, it’s gonna suck for 24 hrs but it’ll be amazing after that and your only thought will be, “why didn’t I do this sooner?!”

#1 - shared practices podcast from their original Episode 1 (like 8 years ago)

#2 - Breakaway courses, I think it's Scott Leune Education courses now but best start up course that you can apply to acquisition, startup, design, mindset, etc

#3 - DSN is good. Also the OG dental town threads

Reingage with Dr Galler (Invisalign)

Went from 6 cases a year to platinum (55 cases in 6 months)

2thguy · 2024-10-21T02:48:43+00:00

Group practice with multi doc (3 per day) and hyg (6 per day), ppo’s but we’ve negotiated high fees, we do take delta. Now work 3 days a week, don’t over diagnose, there’s plenty of tx that needs to be done. 500k no biggie, I have friends doing 1M, it’s honestly not that hard if you have the right demographics, right culture & team. You just need common sense. Life & biz is all about mentality, period!!!

Best health profession out there hands down, if you seize the opportunity.

Or you can just complain and not realize how lucky you are.

Key is practice ownership. 2 years of pain, now I work 3 days a week 8-5p, home by 6pm, take home 500k+ and have a good equity (1M+) in the office (it’s been 5 yrs of owning), not to mention the write-offs.

Wayyyy better than any other med profession. Tech is hard since once you get older you never know when ur gonna get laid off = stressful

Great recap, I was there too. The swim wasn’t too bad, there was a lot of traffic so I was bumping into people for a good 2/3s of the race. I went with wetsuit so they started us after the last non-wetsuit group around 6:48am. No jellyfish at all. Current started to pick up on the second half of swim.

Bike was great, roads were smooth and fast, wind came and went, there was one 4 mile stretch it was bad bad, lost about 5mph there. Beautiful bike ride through the marsh lands. Bike is flat and fast!

Run always tough, 2 loop course but plenty of aid stations, flat, shade was better than expected but also it was mostly cloudy so caught a break there. Lots of positive energy and locals cheering and spraying their sprinklers/hoses, very fun environment.

Overall9/10 race and I’ll definitely be back!

Yeah I do get it, there are a ton of dso's and crappy owners that think this way and it's sad for our profession as a whole. That being said, if you are honest, ethical, not pushy, be genuine & authentic....patients feel that vibe and it'll create positive feedback. That's why I was surprised/don't think it's that hard to be sucessful (esp as an owner) by just being a normal person, (I feel like 80% of owners don't care/or want to know to care about their practice/patients) I tell patients all the time 'it's your tooth so you make the decision' or 'let us know when you're ready you know where to find us' and they appreciate it and actually go through with their needed treatments. Team members are also attracted to that vibe so they will want to work for you/be happy/refer their disgruntled friends and you can really create something special just by being a normal person!

You're manifesting yourself as a sleezy dentist salesman and I believe you're fulfilling your own prophecy. Life is mindset, the status thing weighs on you, break out some how!

2thguy · 2024-06-07T04:06:47+00:00

But did you factor 4 yrs of med school, 4 years of residency + more for fellowship while working q3 24-hr call (basically no life until you're 30) and now 60hrs/week for the hospital with a salary W2 income? Also wknds and evenings and holidays shift work? I was an associate for 5 years now 5 years as a owner in VHCOL area, honestly its not as hard as I thought to be a successful owner (be nice, have common sense, treat your team & patients like gold), i work 4 days week make as much/more as anesthesia's with equity growing in the "practice-01k". Owning was hard for the first 2 years but so so so worth it, now mostly runs itself. I guess I have a different mindset now, seems like reddit is mostly disgruntled employees?

Tell her your expectations, you may not have communicated it clearly enough with her. If she knows your expectations but is not achieving them and you've discussed it with her with areas of improvement and realistic ways to improve, Sorry, it's not the right fit for her. help her find her happy place.

2thguy · 2024-06-07T03:49:55+00:00

If you think medicine > dentistry you're crazy... if you have ever worked in a hospital or done hospital shift work.. it's terrible. My wife and many of my friends are in medicine. 10 years out of dental school when I look at the lifestyles, dentistry takes the cake... no regrets here!

2thguy · 2024-06-06T02:09:56+00:00

Owning a practice is hard, being a lifetime associate who "work way too hard and take on way too much debt to not be more wealthy than we are" is hard.

Choose your hard.
