EP 288: From Burnout to Base Hits: Why Dentists Must Lead, Not Just Drill
Manage episode 495109318 series 3187577
On this episode of Jumpstart with Jeff, Dr. Jeff Buske, founder of Limitless Dentists, unpacks the real obstacles keeping dentists from growth; not in the chair, but in life. With brutal honesty and actionable wisdom, Jeff and his guest dissect the myth of perfection, the trap of DIY leadership, and the costliest business mistake of all: guessing.
If you’ve ever felt like a high-performing dentist but a failing husband or father, this one’s for you. Jeff shares how a personal wake-up call and a broken first marriage led him to transformation; not through more CE credits, but by investing in leadership, coaching, and family-first principles.
This episode is designed to help dentists build lives that don’t just look good on the outside; but feel good on the inside. From choosing coaching over chaos to realizing that your family is your superpower, this conversation is your permission slip to stop white-knuckling everything alone.
Key Takeaways:
Excellence Over Perfection: You don’t need to hit home runs; just consistent base hits to win.
Leadership Is Learned: Dentists aren’t taught how to lead, market, or build culture; but they can learn.
The Marriage-Business Link: Fix your relationship, and watch your practice transform.
Guessing Is Expensive: Trial and error costs years. Coaching buys clarity and speed.
Integration, Not Balance: Stop trying to separate personal and professional. You’re one person. Own it all.
“Your family isn’t the anchor holding you back. It’s the superpower pushing you forward.” – Dr. Jeff Buske
