Woody Allen has been quoted as saying, “80 percent of success is showing up.”
And showing up means more than just your physical presence going through the motions of the day. It means being being accessible, listening, asking, understanding others’ needs, adapting, learning, improving, evaluating, thanking, and always making the human connection.
In the technology-driven world we all live in, this is more important than ever before. And it applies to new and established practices alike. In fact, sometimes established practices need this reminder the most. We see it happen in business and sports all the time — successful companies and teams start to rest on their laurels. They begin to take their success for granted and stop “showing up.” So,
Show up for your patients and their caregivers.
Show up for your staff.
Show up for your referring physicians.
Show up for your partners and colleagues.
Show up for your community.
Never stop exerting the energy needed to nurture and strengthen the relationships that will build and sustain your success.
