Setting Boundaries for a Better Practice

Dr. Russell Kirk
About this episode

Full show notes at: http://businessofdentistrypodcast.com/

This week is all about the strategies I’ve used in order to set boundaries in my professional life. These helped me handle my burnout and ended up being a valuable tool for everyday use.

In December 2011, I was a bit of a mess. I was endangering my personal and professional life, so I took my wife’s advice to go and seek professional help.

I went to see five different specialists, and they each gave me their advice. I started implementing it, and slowly, but steadily, I started improving.

This episode is a heartfelt testimony of my journey. I share the three types of boundaries I’ve set that made the biggest difference for my well-being.

Key takeaways:

  • If you feel overloaded, ask for help
  • Establish administrative time
  • Say no to distractions and set gatekeepers

Join me for a talk on some important strategies to use in order to overcome your burnout.
