“Boldness is a superpower. And if you're not using it, you're shrinking your dreams,” shares Fred Joyal, CEO of TruBlu Social Smile and author of Superbold: From Under-Confident to Charismatic in 90 Days. Fred also co-founded 1-800-Dentist, the most successful dentist referral service in the country. Today, he joins host Jon Harris to talk about superbold leadership and the value of not letting fear or doubt hold you back.

Dentistry is a very profitable business; so much so, that you can make money even if you aren’t doing everything correctly. With profitability so high, it is a relatively safe business for investing in growth and technology. If you are not upgrading your practice with the latest technology because you are worried about the expense, you are reducing your growth potential. Most of this technology will pay for itself after just a few appointments. Learning to be bold in your decisions will help you to be a better leader. Even if you do not feel confident, do it anyway and see what happens because this will help you to be bolder going forward.

Boldness is a muscle. The more you put yourself out there, the easier it will be to actually feel confident. When you commit to decisions even though you do not feel confident, you will slowly build up that boldness muscle. These actions will lead you to actually feel confident over time and that will reflect in your leadership skills and the overall success of your practice.
