“Anything remote.”
So many hygienists want to do ANYTHING else. Anything that isn’t hygiene. Anything work from home. The desperation is palpable.
We love our patients, and most of us enjoy our work…. for the first 10-20 years. After a while, our bodies can only take so much.
Most of the hygienists I have met believe they can’t be good at anything but hygiene.
They’re wrong. Because I believed that too.
Remember the first time you picked up a gracey? Remember how awkward it felt? Remember how convinced you were that you would NEVER be good at this?
But you are. You could probably do it in your sleep now.
What makes you so sure you can’t do the same with a new skill?
What if you could create a one-of-a-kind business doing work that lights you up? What if you found something you enjoy so much you forget what time it is?
I woke up on January 1, 2022 and said “that’s it. I’m not spending the rest of my life telling people to floss.”
After a few false starts, I discovered copywriting and brand voice. I became obsessed. I would race home from the dental office, hoping to squeeze in 30 minutes of writing before I picked up my daughter.
I never thought I would be a business owner. Rent, overhead, employees, supples etc sounded overwhelming. But… just me and my laptop? I could handle that.
After 3 months of hard work, I found my first client, an orthodontist. He chose my premium package and paid me $3,000. I couldn’t believe it.
My confidence soared. I started walking with my head held high. It was exhilarating. I felt alive, awake and present. My friends felt my vibe shift.
I had NO IDEA I had the ability to do this. Every day I wonder where I would be if I had settled for the status quo.
What will your business look like? We don’t know yet! We have to explore. We need to get comfortable with sitting in uncertainty for a bit. We have to drill down to the nitty gritty of who you are and what you can contribute to others’ lives. I promise you, it’s there. It just needs to be awakened.
Are you willing to get curious? Are you willing to explore your untapped gifts and give yourself a chance?
I’m looking for RDH women who want to discover who they are, awaken their hidden talents, and make a real impact.
