The Tale of Two Dentists: A Journey Through Endgame Planning

I was given the honor to write the forward to Frank’s book. Having worked with Frank over the years, it’s about time others get access to his knowledge and process driven mindset. I’m grateful for the results I’ve personally achieved through Frank’s methods and wisdom. I mentioned in the forward how much he and his programs helped me achieve and 8 figure exit in only five years of business. And now he’s sharing his proven process in this well crafted book. By reading and might I suggest rereading this book, you too will have access to the knowledge I was given. And if you get the chance to work with Frank and his team, do yourself a favor, say yes, and then get out of your own way. I did and I couldn’t be happier.

End Game Planning: A Tale of Two Dentists by Frank Curtin is a compelling and insightful read that dives into the contrasting approaches to planning and goal-setting. Whether you’re someone who meticulously plans every detail or someone who prefers to go with the flow, this book demonstrates that both methods can lead to success, though early planning affords owners more opportunities. Through the engaging story of two dentists with different planning styles, Curtin provides valuable lessons on achieving future goals. With practical advice and relatable anecdotes, Endgame Planning will inspire you to reflect on your own strategies and equip you with the tools to reach your final destination, regardless of your current planning habits. Highly recommended for anyone seeking motivation and direction in their journey toward success.

The ultimate complexity in life is simplicity. And in his book, Frank achieves this by telling a simple story of two characters navigating their complex conceptions of best personal, business and financial practices in the dental world. The contrast between one character who is impelled towards the ideal practices of holistic well-being versus one that is compelled towards the ad-hoc practices of atomistic ill-being is insightful and prompts reflections into one’s own past, present and future. The book also comes with checklists, templates and assessments that will provide a practical structure to assuredly help any dentist investigate his or her own current circumstance. And should you only gain one more lens of perspective from this book, then it will serve as a great companion to your own personal journey towards vision and clarity.

I had the pleasure of reading “The Tale of Two Dentists: A Journey through Endgame Planning”, and I was thoroughly impressed by the depth and insight presented in the book. One of the standout elements for me was the comparison between the two doctors, Michael and Emily. Their personal traits and lifestyles significantly influenced their professional practices, offering valuable lessons for dental professionals. In my experience, no dentist leaving Dental School possesses the fully developed characteristics attributed to Emily. The rigorous curriculum simply does not allow time to teach these skills and thought processes. While some graduates may exhibit traits similar to Emily’s, the essential skills and thought processes are not intuitive. These must be taught and learned, much like Michael’s journey. Finally, I must commend Chapter 11, which offers an excellent synopsis and helps readers organize their thoughts effectively. It serves as a perfect conclusion to the insightful journey this book provides. In summary, this is a must-read for dental professionals seeking to master the pillars of readiness and secure a prosperous future for their practice.

This masterpiece is a must-read for anyone seeking to elevate their professional, personal, and financial life. With insightful strategies and practical advice, this book provides a comprehensive roadmap to achieving growth and success while keeping your personal vision in mind. Frank empowers readers to think strategically about their goals and offers a clear path and the tools needed to reach them. His engaging writing style and profound knowledge make complex concepts accessible and actionable. Whether you’re starting your journey or looking to break through barriers, this book is your guide to unlocking your full potential.

The Tale of Two Dentists is simply amazing. Simple – because it is easy to follow and yet so full of truth. Amazing because it is the story that so many of us (myself included) wish we had read and followed. It is a fantastic blueprint on how to follow the words of Stephen Covey “begin with the end in mind” And although it focuses on Dentistry – this book applies to any small business. Highly recommend.
