About a year ago at a Galaxy Seminar, I was exposed to a new time management system by David Allen called "Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity." This is the system that really high producers use and once on board you will realize why. I starting implementing this system so that I too, could have a "mind like water" by being able to brain dump everything into a reliable system. The trouble was I had no real way to sync everything I was doing at home, office and on ...
Thank you so much for the great feedback on the Dream Practice Blueprint. I have a lot of fantastic suggestions to keep me busy for awhile. One of the most frequent concerns I am hearing is "How the heck to you keep track of all this stuff?" It did not happen overnight! In fact it was just the opposite. Like most "overnight successes," it was many years in the making. Consider that it is really the small little things you do on a daily basis that ultimately land you at the ...
Yesterday was certainly one of my most favorite days in practice! After reading that, you are probably thinking that you are going to read a patient testimonial or about some crazy chiropractic miracle, however we saw NO patients yesterday. Every quarter we take an entire day and spend it together developing ourselves and our team. In the morning we usually spend time reviewing our goals and refreshing office procedure skills that need polishing, and in the afternoon we simply go have fun! In the past we have done paintball, bowling, BBQ, etc. This day ...
You are about to graduate, you have $120,000 in students loans, $7,000+ over several credit cards, car loan, money you owe mom, and the list may even go on! To add to that stress you may even take on more debt to start a practice. Then what? How the hell do you get rid of this debt? 1. Do you pay off the highest interest rate first? 2. Do you pay the smallest debt first to get an easy win? 3. Do you pay a little on everything? 4. Do you consolidate? Just after I bought my practice the weight of ...
A couple weeks ago I was completely inspired by the talks of Dr. Andy Roberts and Dr. Shawn Dill at the seminar put on by "That Something" coaching program. The predominant theme that weekend was about the "experience" in your office affects the emotional state of your patients which directly affects the decisions that they make. To piggy back on that weekend I would like to tie in 6 basic human needs we have that people seek out in their experience. The Dream Our office experience targets the 6 human needs creating a peak emotional state so our patients ...
One of the most important things we can do ensure success is to surround yourself with a positive successful environment. If it is "As A Man Thinketh" then it makes sense that to create good thots you need to create the environment that fosters that. Stop Reading the Newspaper! It is filled with a ton of negativity. This is because we have a libido for the ugly. Drama and gossip sells. Very few media sources foster possibility. Get a Google Reader! I have started a new habit. I was addicted to the paper and I have ...
In a typical Chiropractic office there is a team of people helping you keep in touch with yours patients. They call them to remind them of appointments, they call when they miss, they schedule and they also have some procedure to stay top of mind or stay in touch so that we don't loose patients through he cracks. You don't have that luxury. I would love to turn you on to a great piece of technology that will help stay top of mind in your patients lives AND reduce your stress. What is an AUTORESPONDER? An Autoresponder is an online ...
Last weekend I had the honor to present at Dr. Shawn Dill's famous coaching program called "That Something" about the Wellness Revolution that is occurring right now. Dr. Andy Roberts kicked it off with an amazing talk on raising the standard in our offices so that our "experience" rivals that of Disney's. I have since created an experience checklist for my office, Thanks Dr. Roberts! Dr. Thad spoke about the mission of the UCHC along with the need to unite. Dr. B.J Kale reminded us where we came from! His journey through the HISTORY sent ...
