I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of this book and was pleased that it conveys the message across all industries, not just dental. Although I am not in the dental industry, I found that Howard Farran captures a successful business model in the simplest form by taking inspiration from his own experiences. His book uses 3 essential business values to assist in achieving consistent, profitable, healthy growth. This is a must read for all!
I’ve always been interested in business and leadership but being in the military it comes with the territory. When I came home on leave I had the opportunity to tour Dental Town and Today’s Dental. Since then Ive always wanted to pick Dr. Farrans brain on his business but he was extremely busy with life and family I never had the chance. When I found out the comedic Dentist, Dr. Howard Farran had published a book on his business I couldn’t wait to read it.
I found the opportune time to read it on a business trip. The moment I opened it, I was lost and I finished the book in one sitting, [un] luckily the plane broke so I had plenty of time.
I was truly impressed. Uncomplicate Business speaks on the basic human need for understanding, appreciation, and family values. Everything that I’ve learned thus far in my military experience all in one readable book. The points made not only tie into business, but are great advice for life in general and if followed, significantly improve leadership skills. I appreciate the knowledge that it taught me to further my military career and look forward to owning, with confidence, a successful business in the future.

I love Howard’s no-nonsense way of communicating. He has a way of keeping the lessons memorable and easy to relate to.
Howard is a master at connecting with people and managing time. Howard has shared in his book how the power of these two subjects, combined with a strong work ethic, make the simple formula for success. He shares his talents and tricks with you, the reader, to help you focus on what is most important so not waste precious time. .
I loved how Howard points out that money is one of the important ways to keep score on how you are managing your time; and then adds the vital lesson that money can’t be the goal but rather it’s the side benefit to doing the right things of which treating all people right is paramount.
Howard also lays out the very basic principal that one must make more money than one spends. Imagine that! A simple, common sense concept that unfortunately, too many fail to comprehend and implement to healthy levels in their businesses and lives.
Howard points out that he’s learned to prioritize what to spend and when. And yes, sometimes these formulas for success are counter-intuitive, but that is the beauty of them, as they enable one to often head in the opposite direction of the pack/competition and come out on top.
Last, on the subject of “time”, Howard reminds us that we must be willing to pay our dues; we must be willing to not only work hard but we must be learning new things including new technologies, throughout life. When one stops learning, one starts dying.
Howard has written this book in the same way he speaks. He has written frankly, simply and from his heart and mind. One of the most compelling reasons to read the book is that he is speaking with firsthand experience of firsthand success. He has “walked the walk,” and he is now showing others how to do likewise.
So, roll up your sleeves, pay your dues, drive yourself in similar ways, and you too will succeed. It’s not complicated, it simply requires the utmost of commitment. So pick yourself up when you fall and stay driven to drive the torch up the mountain.
Enjoy the book!
