DATELINE - Winter2014

Will Hine, D.D.S.

Time To Wrap Things Up

Winter 2014

I have tried in my other articles to

articulate how as a profession we need to be
aware of our professional legacy, as well as
remembering those times we needed help
along our professional journey. What are we
doing as a profession to lift up our legacy?
What are we as individuals doing? As the
leaves change and winter wind starts to
blow, I challenge each of us to make a resolution for the New Year to start, continue,
and increase the work we do to improve
our profession. Donate a little more, volunteer a little more, show compassion a little
more. Just flip through the pages of this
Dateline, and you will find so many ways to
help. If each of us works to do this, we will
not only as a group help so many, we will be
forever brightening the legacy we inherited
for the next generations of dental professionals.
As I find myself reflecting on my year
as President of IDDS. One word comes to
mind, thankful. I have tried to express my
thanks to all of you for being involved in
organized dentistry. There are many chal-

lenges and changes our profession has seen,

and will continue to see in the future. It is
only through active participation in organized dentistry, that we will have a voice
strong enough to guide our profession
through these changes. Without this unified
vision and voice, it will be left up to others to chart our course. We can do better.
I would like to express to all of you who
actively participate in IDDS, the IDA and
the ADA, thank you for being involved.
As a component, we are very lucky to
have such great committee members and
volunteers. The real work of IDDS happens
at this level. The member who volunteers to
help set up our general membership meetings, the volunteer who sits on the peer
review committee, the volunteer who helps
run our Foundation fundraisers, the member who stepped up and is in charge of the
upcoming MOMs program with the IDA,
and on and on. There are so many examples,
some visible, some behind the scenes, of
IDDS members volunteering for the good of
the organization. Thanks to all of my fellow
board members, committee members, and
volunteers who make IDDS great.
We are also very lucky as a component
to have the best staff around. Thank you to
Sarah who has picked up more and more
responsibility this year and done a terrific
job. And a special thanks to Carolyn who
makes all of us look good. The hours she
puts in and organizational excellence she
possesses makes her one of a kind. She even
talks her family into helping out! She is one
of the most respected Executive Directors in
the nation, and we should all be proud of
the work she does for IDDS.

Presidents Message Continued from page 3

I also want to thank my family for putting up with my

increased meeting load this year. Without this support, I would
not have felt the freedom to accept this leadership role in IDDS.
We all need a support system and I have one of the best in my wife
Michelle and kids Madalyn & Ellie.
So thank you all for a terrific year and heres to a great 2015
and beyond.

ARE YOU READY?

by ThAD MillER, ddsmatch.com

Dental Practice sales are predicted to increase in the coming years as

Boomers decide to transition their practice and enjoy retirement. Are
you prepared for that time?

whether you need cash or can you accept a promissory note?

When a man does not knoW Which harbor he is

heading for, no Wind is the right Wind. --Seneca

He could retire immediately and try to market the practice through

ddsmatch but unfortunately not to this young dentist from the community. The young dentist had no dental practice experience and no bank
would lend an amount even close to the amount of money necessary to
meet Dr. Ys expectations. If Dr. Y wanted to sell today and receive an
amount that would support his post-exit lifestyle, he would have to sell to
an outside dentist with sufficient cash.

The starting point for any type of plan is defining its goals. In the case of
planning a business exit that means knowing what it means to exit your
business in style.
Philosophers, business owners, and successful people from all walks
of life understand the critical importance of establishing goals, creating
plans to attain those goals, and persevering to see their plans through
to completion.
Having worked with dentists to create over 60 successful exits, we know
that it is critical that you establish three principal exit objectives first
before moving forward with your Exit Plan. This is the first step in The
Trusted Transition Process. I titled it the Conceptual Transition Experience We help visualize your future, set achievable goals and devise
strategies to start you in the direction of your post-transition dreams,
well in advance of your intended transition timeframe.

The three main points in this first step are:

How much cash do you need when you exit to support the lifestyle you
desire? (Do you want to be cashed out when you leave the business or
are you willing to receive the purchase price over time?)
When do you want to leave the practice? (Or, how much longer are
you willing to remain active in the practice?)
To whom do you want to sell / transfer the practice? (To a child? An
associate? Co-owner? Or perhaps to an outside practitioner who can
pay top dollar?)

lets look at an example of a dentist who arrived at

his exit date without a plan to reach his goals.
Dr. Y, the owner of a successful dental practice had long thought of
transferring his business to a certain young dentist from his community.
He and his family were long time patients, he mentored him on his
decision to go to dental school and stayed in touch with him during his
education. This was ideal in theory but unfortunately, he had done little
to prepare for that transfer. As tougher economic conditions challenged
his practice, however, and he reached his 58th birthday, he decided it
was time to retire and called me.
My response after thorough discussions with he and his financial team
was Doctor its helpful that youve established two of the three Exit Objectives critical to all successful business exits. Youve determined that
you dont want to work much longer in the business. And second, you
have decided that you want to transfer the business to the young dental
student who is graduating soon.
But what about the third Exit Objective: how much money do you want
or need when you leave the business? And, have you determined

at this point, dr. Y had two choices:

Dr. Y could sell the company to this young dentist from his community, but
wait six to ten years to receive (hopefully) the entire purchase price. This
can work, but it has to match the Exit Objectives of the seller.
Dr. Ys situation illustrates why setting your objectives or goals, understanding how each affects the other, creating a plan, and then acting to
reach those goals is so critical to a successful exit.
If you prefer to leave your business in style (which to us means leaving
your business to the successor you choose, on your timetable and with
the amount of cash you desire) you must take time to formulate specific,
consistent, attainable goals and objectives. Either option detailed above
is an option, but talking about it now is critical to prepare.
You must determine a course of actiona planbased upon those goals,
and you must hold to that action till the goal is reached. The key is action. Without setting goals at the outset of your exit journey, you may drift
aimlessly until, like Dr. Y, its too late.
Dont be a dentist who is too busy working in your practice to work on the
most important financial event of your business life. We work in tandem
with your financial advisors, CPA, attorneys and others to help you get
the best out of your transition for you, your staff and your patients. We
are happy to help you begin by providing you with more information about
setting objectives and other Exit Planning topics through The Trusted
Transition Process. It all starts with a complimentary confidential
discussion.

Congratulations to:
Dr. Stacey Scheff-Rochman, a member of the IDDS Membership Committee,
who married Brad Rochman on August 31
in Buffalo, New York. They honeymooned
in Hawaii. The couple are in the process of
selecting a new home. Best wishes to both
of them in their new life together.

Dr. Karen Cottingham, and her

husband Gene (center) have a band called
Sympathy for the Fingers. (Shes the singer!). They performed at parties and asked
every guest to bring gift cards to be donated
to Sheltering Wings, a shelter for domestic
abuse. Dr. Cottingham says they have a lot
of fun doing this, and ask their audience
to support local charities instead of paying
the band. Thanks, Dr. Cottingham, what a
happy tune that must be to sing!!
