I recently made a mistake when celebrating a great month in our company.  We blew away our goal and I wanted to recognize our team. Instead of just congratulating our team for their great accomplishment, I threw in the dreaded "but" at the end of it. "but, next month will most likely be much different." There was no need for me to do this.  I intended to shield them from a possible letdown the following month since we always have a strong January. The "but" was not necessary at that time (and probably not at all). Celebrate your wins.  Recognize the success of your team - the other stuff can wait. A well-informed team already knows of the challenges that may lie ahead and is prepared to handle them. Let celebrating your wins stand on its own.  Do not dilute what your team accomplished. Interestingly, February came and they beat our target for that month as well.....and did it again in March.

I completely agree. The ultimate objective should always be continuous learning and improvement, both personally and professionally.

Continue to grow. The opposite of growth is ☠ #growth

I've noticed that practices most successful in their partnership with Mascotte share certain traits. These characteristics are not unique to any single client but are commonly seen in those who fully harness our services. A prime illustration of these attributes is seen in practices such as WoofDoctor On Wheels led by Dr. Douglas Cifranick. They serve as a model for how integrating Mascotte into daily operations can greatly benefit a practice. Here's what enables them and other successful practices to fully leverage Mascotte: 1- Treating Mascotte as a "Real" Team Member: Successful practices ensure that our techs & veterinary assistants are fully integrated into their teams, with a seamless onboarding and communication process akin to that of their own staff. 2- Investing in Relationship Building: They recognize the importance of forming real connections with their dedicated Mascotte techs, a strategy that enhances our collaboration and contributes to shared achievements. 3- Consistent Communication: Keeping open lines of communication, especially early on, allows them to quickly address any issues, leading to smoother operations. 4- Clearly Defined Roles and Processes: These practices have a clear understanding of the tasks Mascotte should handle, supported by effective systems to track progress and outcomes, and provide feedback. 5- Digital-first: Having a digital-first mindset embedded in the practice's DNA enhances collaboration, making these practices particularly adept at integrating and benefiting from Mascotte's tech-enabled support.

This is exactly why I do what I do. Because by helping you simplify your life and opening up opportunities for you to be present, I get to do the same in my life. So let me ask you, are you living day-to-day for work so that you can “provide“ for your family? Are you able to participate and enjoy the things that you “provide“ for your family? Or are you going through the motions and missing the most important parts of life? There are ways to simplify your calendar, to do list, your physical health, and your overall wellness will enhance your quality of life.

Don't celebrate victory too early before the work is done. Celebrating victory too early before the work is fully completed can be detrimental to the overall success of any endeavor. While it’s natural to feel excited and proud of the progress made, premature celebrations can lead to a loss of focus and momentum, potentially derailing the final outcome. Unexpected challenges often arise, requiring undivided attention and effort until every aspect of the task is finished. Early celebrations can breed complacency, causing a dip in productivity and attention to detail. Additionally, it can project a lack of professionalism and commitment to stakeholders and team members, who rely on the assurance that the project will be seen through to its full completion. True success is achieved not by the initial progress but by the consistent and dedicated effort that carries a project to its end. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain diligence and perseverance, celebrating only when the work is genuinely and thoroughly done.

It's not easy to get out of that trap. While there are many factors involved, what is clear is that the status quo may not be working anymore. In the words of Bateriku CEO, "Change, or DIE!." Change could be in the form of enhancements - creating new or better processes. It could also be restrictions - putting limits to or even eliminating existing processes. Change could also mean both - such as the requirements needed to implement automation. You could enhance certain features, while at the same time limiting some flexibility previously enjoyed, in order to create standardization and rigidity/repeatability. Some problems may need to be solved with "hard" change, and others with "soft" change. Be forewarned, when done properly, the changes will solve existing problems. But, you shall trod down a diverging path - a new direction. New problems will emerge, as a result. This is where fine tuning will happen, and must be constantly monitored and further tweaked. Failing which, will cause you to end up right where you started - the same place as last year.
