Speaker: Patrick O'Brien, Principal dentist, Monread dental, Naas, Co Kildare , Republic of Ireland
Why were you looking for a business coach in the first place?
Patrick O'Brien: Hi. This is Patrick O'Brien here from Monre. Dental. Uh, why did I pick Chris for my business? I needed a coach. I had a son who qualified recently in dentistry, and I felt he'd learned a lot about, um, fillings, extractions, all that kind of thing. But he had learned nothing about the business side of dentistry, and my own business seemed to be doing well. But I had no figures to put on it. So I thought, Why not hit two birds with one stone? Get a business coach? That's my reason for joining the extreme business 100.
What would you describe as the main benefits of membership of The Extreme Business 100 community?
Patrick O'Brien: The main benefits I see of being in this community is that as a dentist, often we are in our cave, locked away at the back, solitary on our own, and it's great to join a community. And I know in joining this community that I had been meeting, uh, like minded dentist that like to get on and maybe want to be at the top of their game. And what's wrong with getting a little bit of that kind of thing? Rub off one another all, uh, excel together. That's my my take.
What difference has working with Chris Barrow made?
Patrick O'Brien: the benefits of working with Chris Barrow is that there is a whole list of tasks that I have been given. So, um, I've ample tasks to free my free time. But, um, I have a checklist. And rather than trying to do 100 things at a time, I'm giving myself one to maybe a month to achieve. I think there's a list of about 40 things to get through, But, uh, if I qualify for all these, I'll be a Champions League dental business.
What advice would you give to anyone watching this video and considering hiring Chris and joining his community?
Patrick O'Brien: So any advice to give any potential clients go for it? Um, I have a great time. Even the trip to Enniskillen alone was worth the effort. Um, I haven't danced as much in such a long time.
