A New Challenge In My Life

Raising five beautiful, healthy, strong-willed, entertaining children, working part time as a dental hygienist, PTA Vice President, ward Provident Living assistant while working on my goal of doing a triathlon next summer. What more could I add to this? I'm typing on a new computer (that I love), because I will need one that can keep up with my newly appointed task.

Marketing for Southern Springs Dental

I have no idea how to do any of this, nor where to start. But where there's a will, there's a way. I'm inspired by seeing success from close relatives who were daring enough to branch out and go for it. One of my biggest examples is my cousin, Melissa. Starting from a disgust of how expensive photographers are, she became one herself. Now she has an amazing business and her work is admired by many. I know dentistry isn't the same as photography, but why not use the internet for tools to build our practice too? Barry and I had a long talk a week ago about the need to expand his patient base and how do we do that? Hiring outside help can become pricey, mailers are incredibly expensive, and we've had bad experiences with the so called "office consultants". Nothing like spending a lot of money on someone who guarantees results, then falls very short. So the decision was made to do it ourselves. I have a prayer in my heart that the Lord will grant me patience, the ability to prioritize, and an identical "mini me" to fill in where I'm needed!

So, why am I writing this? This is where I'm starting. Trying out my blogging skills in a safe environment. I'm hoping this time next year, I will be writing how this was one of the best decisions we made!
