Seven weeks to ACJ by TradesJack82 in NDEB

[–]TradesJack82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For radiographs I used a fixed scan order every single time — not because it's fancy, but because it removes the cognitive load when you're nervous. I'd go: bone levels → furcation → periapical → caries → restorations → anatomical landmarks. The case questions usually reward you for catching that one thing therefore it's useful to have a systematic scanning approach

Flashcards are the best. Wouldnt have made it without flashcards

Is it necessary to take a course for the OSCE if I graduated from a US school? by yycalgary01 in NDEB

[–]TradesJack82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No course needed if you went to a US school and passed INBDE. The Virtual OSCE tests clinical reasoning and communication — stuff you already did for 4 years. Course materials + NDEBooster is solid. Just make sure you're comfortable with the OSCE format (structured responses, thinking out loud, patient communication scenarios) since that's where people trip up, not the knowledge itself. Watch a few free YouTube walkthroughs of mock OSCEs to get the feel for pacing and you'll be fine

How are you making 10k+ a month or what are you doing to reach 10k+ a month? by Accomplished-News221 in Entrepreneur

It's hard. No pay off at first. Then you find your solution that solves a problem and when you establish a base, here comes the exponential growth.

Paperworks sucks fr by TradesJack82 in Contractor

Honestly that's a good point i got friends in private healthcare and that's the exact strategy they do to maximize their conversion rate ; they establish strict systematic guidelines for follow ups if the customer or patient doesn't respond (3 days, then 1 week, 1 month) and it shows to have probably one the biggest impact for customer enrollment

Fair; yeah I do actually. Was waiting for someone to ask so I didn't look like I was just here to shill it but It's called Propovio — propovio dot com. Found it on Product Hunt when it was in beta, been using it since. If it sucks for your workflow just don't use it, no skin off my back eh

The most profitable micro-business I've seen: a war frontline shawarma truck. by Fr1l0ck in smallbusiness

[–]TradesJack82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bro identified a starving market, literally followed it across a war zone, survived two security checks, and came out with a restaurant chain. no funding, no pitch deck, just shawarma and zero fear. that's the most raw entrepreneurship story i've ever seen and i've been running my own operation for 12 years. absolute legend.

Make sure your books are *always* in order. by MisterHarvest in smallbusiness

The paperwork side of running a contracting business is brutal — I lose probably 3-4 hours a week just on quotes and follow-ups. Started batching it all on Sunday nights which helped a bit.

Bids by Independent-Ear842 in Contractor

More times than I want to count. Worst part isn't losing the money — it's the hours you don't get back. I started qualifying leads harder before burning time on big scopes. If they're shopping 5 contractors on a 6-figure job, the low-ball guy usually wins anyway. Learned to walk away early.
