Or you just think that where you need to be as a dentist, as a therapist, as a student, whatever you are, you’re not living to your full potential. Jaz’s Introduction: I’ve been through something similar before, and I guess I took massive action. And I don’t want to elaborate too much of my story because my guest today is just going to do so much justice with this episode and I want you to hear her story because it’s just so inspiring.I just love everything that Laura Bailey has achieved and you know, she’s going from strength to strength and I’m going to introduce her properly in a moment, but to just rewind the year a little bit with myself, when I woke up from my Saturday job was working in this mixed fixed practice, I got to a stage where I had this sick feeling in my stomach and I looked at my wife and I said “Sim, I don’t think I want to go to work today.”This is something that I’ve never felt this way forward, I’m a bit of a workaholic and I just I just felt like it was toxic, not because the practice was toxic, whatever it’s just that I at the time, in the system, in the place I was working, I felt that I was just overworked and I felt as though I was not achieving my goals as a dentist. Achieving my goals as someone who loves to learn and grow as a dentist. So, at that time I felt as though I had to take massive action.And I took massive action because I handed in my notice and eventually, we moved to Singapore, like we did something absolutely crazy. Okay, so the theme of this episode is to take massive action. Now, my favorite definition of massive action. What I mean by massive action is to commit to taking action until you get the desired result. Let me say it again, you commit to taking action until you get your desired result, and it sounds very easy to do, but how many people think of us about doing something? They toy with an idea, or the risk is too great and they and they shy away.What I mean is that you commit to something and then you work on it until it gets done okay? They make it even more tangible for you. Okay? Imagine you’re a dentist who has done lots of courses, now an implant, okay? And you’re just getting one or two implant cases a month and you’re like, whoa, this is I mean, I made this huge investment in time. I feel as though implants are my passion and I’m just not getting enough cases to actually make it worthwhile.And maybe then you lose your mojo, you lose your excitement,
