Letter Number 22 November 6, 2012

What a tough week! The resiliency of New Jerseyans and New Yorkers was amazing. The stories of care were heartfelt---something badly needed this election year. Thanks, New Jersey and New York, for setting an example of how to act like grown-ups, not politicians.
The Carlsen video this time is about self-image. What is the most important part of you that you project to the world? Self-image may affect your financial well-being.
Take a look and reflect on what you wish to project most to the world.
Enjoy this small break from election-night jitters.

Your Self Image and Your Wallet4 minute video
What is the most important projection of your persona? Your home? Your cars? Your Rolex or Hermes handbag? Your face or body? Your kid's education?
Might it be the size of your office, number of staff, your Cerec, your implant expertise, or the multi-generational families you see?
Dentist Bottom Line: How you see or want to see yourself projected often has a direct effect on your savings.
With each forward of this newsletter issue, you may be keeping private practice alive.

Latest Jobs Report: 7.8% vs. 7.9%. Good or Not?
Why Sandy may actually stimulate the economy
4 minute video
Most Americans don't care whether the unemployment rate is 7.8% or 7.9%. They are only interested in a family rate of 0%! The two analysts point to the latest news that the 7.8% rate last month wasn't a fluke and why 7.9% may not be worse than last month. Does this help Obama? We'll see later today... So why watch this video? Sandy's aftermath may have a positive effect on the economy. View to see why.
Dentist Bottom Line: We've suffered another major disaster. Sandy's effects in New York and New Jersey will be felt for years. Yet, so far looting has been almost zero. People have come together like they did on 9/11. And there are possible positive long-term results for America. It's about time!
