#60 Intentional Consequences: The Path To Getting What You Want

The Joyful DVM Podcast: Empowering Veterinary Professionals

Every action we take has a consequence. Some of them are positive. Others are negative. But, do you realize that your mind is conditioned to seek out the negative consequences? Are you aware that creating intentional consequences is the key to getting the clients you want and doing the practice you dream of in your Vet Med career?

In this episode, I tell a little story about the birds in my backyard and how it relates to what we all experience every day as veterinarians. I explain why avoiding negative consequences is the wrong approach to achieving what we want, and how this results in a client base for veterinarians that is less-than-ideal.

Why you’ve got to check out today’s episode:

• Understand how avoiding negative consequences in veterinary practice impacts veterinarians, veterinary staff, and clients.
• Learn what you miss out on when you fail to focus your efforts with positive intention.
• Find out why trying to serve every type of veterinary client leaves you exhausted and not serving any very well, and what you can do about it.
