What Zip Code Is Your Comfort Zone In?
What Zip Code Is Your Comfort Zone In?
It was my first group motorcycle ride and my excitement to experience what I call “cage-free” living was palpable. Being new to the group and to riding, I began this adventure in a certain comfort zone. The first day our ride took us out on Peachy Canyon. Twenty minutes in, my adrenalin was pumping… fun, freedom and…fear. The tension increased in my grip, my neck felt tight as I clenched my teeth and there was a moment when, I questioned my both my ability & sanity.
Living in the moment is rewarding unless your gear is fear.
Courage and fear are equally accessible to us, the latter lives in the neighborhood of mediocrity. If I was truly going to experience this ride, then my comfort zone must move to it’s new zip code.
Courage is kryptonite for your comfort zone
There’s nothing like enjoying the miles and miles of untouched land. Breathtaking views as you reach the top of a mountain, the sensation of peace, joy, and immense gratitude that stirs your soul till you notice yourself smiling so BIG you don’t care that you’ve just eaten a school of gnats!
In order to reach your next destination, you must recognize that certain comfort zones have a date of expiration
What about you? How long has your comfort zone in your personal life or business been living in the same zipcode? Make time to invest in your growth!
Share your story of how your life is enhanced from moving to a new comfort zone!

Why Your Pharmacist May Be Wrong!
Ever feel overwhelmed with ALL of the options you have to choose from for over the counter dental care? How do you know which product will be your best fit for your current state of dental health?
This week Pharmacy Times had an exclusive segment on the Today Show to reveal their 2016 OTC Guide! Basically, it is the top products that pharmacists recommend.
It was a great segment! Here are TWO things you should know to make an informed decision.
I explain more in this week’s vlog. First, the mouthwash recommended has 21.6% alcohol in it! YIKES!!
Can we say … dry mouth? When you go to a pharmacist, you are getting a prescription medication. Many of those have an oral health side effect … you guessed it … dry mouth.
Dry mouth is a very serious and painful condition.
This week’s vlog shares how many ways dry mouth will impact your life. Please Share & Subscribe!
Ask your pharmacist for an alcohol free mouthwash. Even better, visit your dental hygienist for your wellness visit and ask what your current state of oral health is. Review your medication list and whether you are taking any over the counter medications that contribute to dry mouth.
Till next time,

Stroke Recovery | Dental Hygiene Home Care
Every 40 seconds someone in the US will have a stroke.
Did you know that the loss of eight or more teeth in elderly stroke patients has been linked to poorer cognitive function?
Very few articles discuss dental hygiene home care with stroke recovery on popular stroke resource sites …
although this is a vlog … my hope is that someone will ask their dental professional about this challenge.
Facial paralysis, difficulty swallowing and muscle weakness make dental hygiene at home a challenge when recovering from a stroke. This places one at risk for tooth decay, an active bacterial infection, gum disease, mouth ulcers, dry mouth, bad breath & contributes to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, etc.
I have witnessed thousands of dollars in beautiful dentistry be destroyed by poor oral hygiene. Dentures, dental implants, crowns, crown & bridge, veneers, periodontal disease treatment and more … that have been eaten by bacteria until the rot of disease becomes painful or life threatening.

Why Customer Experience Builds Brand Loyalty
Recently I had the opportunity to interview John Brinkworth, owner of Buffalo HD. John and team took home HD’s very prestigious Platinum Award. Translation…out of 590 dealerships in the US, they are in the top 1%.
Think about that for a minute. What comes to mind when you think of Buffalo, NY? Yes, the powdery white stuff and a lot of it…for 6 months a year. What I’d add that many don’t know…Buffalo is consistently ranked as the second poorest city in America. So what can John teach us about customer loyalty? Click here
Top 1% Customer Experience:
1. Know your customers’ name
From dealerships to dental practices, the experience feels the same when someone there knows your name. When being a number reflects the initial tone of your experience, you should feel a tapping on your shoulder by your guardian angel of reality.
~ Reality wakes up loyalty ~
2. Know what they ride.
I drive an Acura MDX. I’ve had it serviced at the same dealership for 8 years. And although my service has been great, computer age and all, what do you imagine the first question they ask me once they’ve finally figured out who I am?
“What car do you drive?”
Harley knows what I ride. The year, model down to the custom rims and get this … I didn’t even buy it from them. Do you know what your customers ride?
3. Know how to create an experience.
Being a road warrior, our dog Gibbs spends a few days a month at Love Your Dog day care. What makes us love, Lover Your Dog so much? Here’s an example. One simple piece of paper that shares…what Gibbs did while we were away. What new friends Gibbs made. That he shared his treats. And he watched his favorite movie, Balto. Think about that. We not only talk about how cool his report card is, we carry it, post a pictures of it and what are we discussing right here, right now?
~ Customer experiences drive a brand’s legacy ~
Problems will happen. Perfection is an illusion. Be the solution. That is an experience worthy of loyalty.
