Barone, B.J. & Lucia
As far as we were aware, no one who was already successful in this business wished to pursue a career as a dentist."
B.J. and Lucia Barone were married when they were 22 years old. Lucia was a teacher who had a strong desire to leave her job and become a full-time mother.
A biology graduate, B.J. was entering his first year of dental school, where he was carrying a hefty course load. B.J.
"My wife and I were looking for something that we could manage with our family circumstances and my work schedule. This company turned out to be the one.
Several professionals have come to us who had spent years in training, had grown their practises, and had subsequently experienced "burnout."
That was something we didn't want to do. Our network includes a large number of dentists who want to be successful in this industry, but we have never met a successful individual in this industry who desired to be a dentist." B.J. went on to establish a real estate company, which eventually expanded to 12 locations.
“We've owned a number of businesses over the years, but none have compared to this unique opportunity. The Barones provide financial assistance to a number of children in third-world nations, and Lucia volunteers as a counsellor at a local pro-life crisis pregnancy clinic.
According to her, the process of establishing the company has been particularly fulfilling because "the principles of achievement and positive self-image are both equally important in growing happy, confident children."
