Last week we discussed part 1 of this two part consideration of how, in our goal of being the best in our science and art of our professional package we are efficient at being safe, giving good service and getting great results BUT chiropractors do not ensure that we thrive in this material world. There are essentially two forms of strategy that will make a huge difference to your business and private life. Last week we discussed the first strategy…
As chiropractors we are, or aspire to be, highly invested and qualified in our science and all the intricacies of the chiropractic knowledge base. We put much attention and energy into the application of our calling in the form of the artistry of chiropractic technique plus the communication that is necessary to relate to our practice members, clients and people. These aspects of our professional package are essential components to ensure that we are safe, give good service and get…
We all have life challenges. The opportunities that we often encounter in life can come cloaked in a negative disguise. I know, you have probably heard this all before. You are probably thinking it is easier said than done when it comes to taking a life challenge and creating an opportunity. But, you are likely to read this article to find out if we have the key to your challenges to open the door of opportunity. Guess what? Great News!…
“The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.” Alexander Solzhenitsyn How often do you fail to inform a person on the relationship between their spine, nerve system and health? How often do you not recommend optimum frequency of care for a person? How often do you not recommend appropriate care beyond symptoms for your people? How often do you not take the time to explain to…
Every moment you spend in your office is an exchange of a part of your life for the experience of connecting with those people you serve. You invest an irretrievable unit of time with every person you see. There are so many people in your community available to be served so the question must be, is that person you are with, your “Ideal Person”? Is it important for you to have a quality practice? Imagine if every person you saw…
We are now 2 weeks into the New Year and I would mind betting that you have already noticed yourself procrastinating on some aspect of your 2015 resolve. It may be just a little thing here or there but the structure is the same – putting off to tomorrow what you could have, (or by your rules or decisions) should have done today. Now, it’s pretty hard to find a person who does not procrastinate at all from time to…
Rather than setting the usual big resolutions for 2015 that are usually impossible to achieve and often easy to break, I suggest that you act small and locally – very locally in fact. The vision for, and the associated actions that you have for your team and practice members along with those people close by is your most effective instrument of empowerment. Your ability to affect your immediate sphere of influence and their future is profound. Everything you think, say…
Having trouble explaining the chiropractic journey to new and existing practice members? Each of your practice members absorbs information differently. Words can be confusing and go in one ear and out the other. Many people need a combination of visual and verbal. Chiropractic charts and posters are a great way to deliver information to your practice members in a simple, easy to understand way. What do your walls say to practice members? Apart from being great tools for delivering information….
As we slip into the end of year mode and prepare for the year ahead it is a good time to reflect on that which was during 2014 whilst at the same time also consider that which could have been during the year. During the year we at Quest have seen huge change occurring in the lives and practices of the majority of our clients. Many of you have literally kicked butt and made massive shifts both personally and professionally….
On the back of last week’s blog regarding the wisdom of leaving that that needs to still be done with and for practice members to TOMORROW I wanted to elaborate a little further. This brings us to considering the value of a forward plan of care for the development and enhancement of your practice members. Too often we can be guilty of thinking that because we have dealt with an area or problem, be it in the spine or the…
As a chiropractor I bet you are feeling two urges with every person you adjust. I bet that you will have a deep desire to really physically help the person and also have a yearning for the person to understand chiropractic, life and health just as you do. I also bet that you want to help people so much that you want to try to do everything that you can see that they need right now, while they are on…
Following on from last week’s comments on the ‘Stones’ and especially Mick Jagger’s magic I wanted to make note of some of their lyrics that may be insightful for you and your practice. We seem to be in a world where people are conditioned to going after what they want. This is seen to its extreme at Christmas. I heard this week that the average Australian family will spend $4,000 this Christmas – 30 billion nationally. The recipients of this…
