"Dear Next Generation,

First of all welcome and brace yourself for an amazing trip. To come on this journey you need to first of all let go of all inhibitions and humble yourself - be prepared to be a student and learn. Forget all the preconceived ideas and notions you may have and be prepared to be taken on a wonderful journey.

Sure you will learn how to make money, how to be a great boss, what to look for in recruiting, how to have a great practice...all that is nice. But you will learn more, much more - you will be taken on a journey of self-discovery, growth, hope and self-actualisation.

You will be vulnerable, you will be challenged, you will be hurt but you will emerge better form the experience.

You will be given a sense of victory.

You will have chosen well - have fun and enjoy the experience. It is absolutely worth it."

"Dear Momentumite,

Go into this program with an open mind. You and your staff need to believe that you will get something out of it - even when it seems not. Know that this is a process over time and if, at times, parts seem irrelevant or not applicable, give it time to come together. The program will benefit everyone but as I was told - you will only get out of it what you put in.

Be aware that whatever you feel is raising difficulties to yourself; others will be experiencing the same or similar. One of the main advantages of the program is that you get the opportunity to find out the highs and lows others were also experiencing and know that there is always support for you. This is what helped me move forward and achieve.

I do not regret a minute (or dollar) of the program."

"Dear Fellow Momentumite,

Congratulations on your decision to join this wonderful extended family. You are about to start an amazing journey that will not only benefit your practice, work life, work quality but also your personal life, personal fulfillments of your partner and if you have them, your kids. There will be more to it than what you expect. You may find it disheartening when you see the paper work, you may wonder if it really is for you and your practice when you bring your staff to the conference and they appear resistant, but trust me, it's worth it! You will always have a network of friends who genuinely want to help even if we've never met. Your staff will grow, develop skills and will agree that they have benefited personally as well as in their enjoyment of work. Life just gets better for all; more control, more enjoyment looking forward to the future. It is so much more than expected!

Welcome!"

"Dear Momentum Student,

Sitting here at the end of an intense program of learning with Momentum, I can't help but feel excited for what we have achieved in such a short time. The systems and tools implemented in the practice have had a huge impact on the way we run our practice and the dentistry we do.

I would have to say though that as we reach the end of our Momentum journey, I have started to realize that Momentum is more than just systems and tools. It is much more than that! It is really about life! After all a huge part of our lives is spent in practices and Momentum has taught us how to bring the two together to achieve and get the most out of life! I am so excited for you all and wish that I could have my chance over again, because I know that there is so much more I could have implemented. Just some words of advice, be open-minded and be willing to give everything a go. Who knows, you might be surprised.

All the best!"

John Bacalakis, QLD

"Dear New Momentum Dentist,

I congratulate you on taking a stand for improving yourself, your practice, and the profession.

I took on the program with the belief of earning more, having more choice, being more savvy in business.

The results are far greater than this. I achieved my goal, financially within the 1st year, I became more savvy in business by the 2nd year, BUT I became a more successful dentist as well.

The program will give you the opportunity to express your failings, your successes and your weaknesses. It will also enable you to serve your patients better ands you will do it because it is in you, not taught to you!

You will need to be a leader, a teacher and a team player. But never loose sight of the goal. A better you means a better dentist means a better practice means a life that is lived by you, not controlling you.

Good luck."

David Rumble, NZ

"I wish you all the best as you embark on an exciting journey. A journey of discovery, of ups and downs, and growth. As you put systems in place in your business you will experience growth in your practice, team, in profits as you start managing the numbers but most of all growth within yourself as you develop not just a business plan but strategies for life.

This course makes you "STOP" and take the time to look at "where you are now" and "where you want to be" in the future and provides you with some of the tools to help you get there. Along the journey you will have fun and make some great friends for life.

Make the most of this opportunity."

Love Anne Marie, NZ
