Do You Have a Vision Statement?

Nearly every pediatric dentist has a vision… yet the majority of doctors haven’t created a vision statement. There is a huge difference between the two.

A vision is often an idea of something you want to achieve… but you have no plan for making it happen. It’s vague and fuzzy often for years until you decide to do something about it.

A vision statement, on the other hand, is the first step in making your vision a reality. You’ve thought about what you want to achieve in the next 3–5 years and made the decision to put it down on paper… in black and white. Now it’s a commitment… a reminder… a promise between your present self and your future self. That’s a good way to get things done.

If you want to realize your potential, start with a vision statement!
