Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Chiropractic patients today aren’t like Chiropractic patients 15, 10, or even 5 years ago. In the past, it was much easier to attract them. Today, to attract a patient, you must first get their attention. Once you have their attention, you must keep their attention… BEFORE they become a patient, WHILE they are a patient, and AFTER they “stop coming in.” …and you...
Chiropractic Productivity Hack
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Try this doc… Test a new morning habit.

Don’t have a laptop computer with you but do have the following: 1. Pen and Notepad 2. iPad with wifi 3. A beverage of your choice (Coffee, Tea, Lemon Water, Smoothie, etc...
Why Most People Don’t Value Chiropractic
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter In business, it’s all about value. But “Value” is subjective. What you value isn’t necessarily what others value. So how do you get others to value Chiropractic in the way that you value Chiropractic? You don’t. For decades, Chiropractors have tried to make the public as passionate about Chiropractic as they are. And while some patients are receptive to that...
My Mistake
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Doc, over a year ago I made a mistake—actually, a big mistake that I just recently rectified. I hope you don’t make a similar one. What was the mistake? Offering doctors a chance to join ChiroTrust for $1.00. Although it attracted a lot of doctors, some were not a good fit for ChiroTrust… They tended to procrastinate. They feared change. They lived in the past...
Chiropractor or Business Person?
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Are you a Chiropractor or a Business Person? If you own a practice, I know what you are going to say…. “BOTH!” But are you really? Even if you went to business school, you didn’t leave with the skills to build a Chiropractic practice. So if your practice isn’t exactly where you want it to be, don’t be TOO hard on yourself...
Marketing Your Practice
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Want to build your practice? Here’s how NOT to do it… Run an ad Offer free and/or discounted offers Ask for referrals That’s not marketing. That is advertising. These days, “advertising” doesn’t work.

Spare Change?
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter There are MANY reasons why some Chiropractors succeed but only ONE reason why most do not and probably never will. Successful D.C.s have A LOT in common with one another. Struggling D.C.s have ONE thing in common with one another. Successful D.C.s… Accept change Never look back Get a lot done Are confident and competent Are nice, kind, happy, grateful...
When Practice Stats Are Down…
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Running a business is such a huge brain game—it’s an eternal struggle and relationship between actions and results. It’s always wondering what is and what is not worth the effort and/or expense—especially when stats are down. When stats are down, it is not uncommon to freak out, doubt, and want to stop and shop. Stop what you are doing and shop for...
Chiropractic-Life Momentum
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Want more out of your practice and your life? Create momentum. Here’s what I mean… Unless and until you have a real reason to get out of bed every morning, life feels pretty stagnant and unfulfilling. Every day feels exactly the same as the day before—sort of like you’re trapped in the movie Groundhog’s Day… But when you have a lot of irons in the...
Never Ignore Your Patients
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter How often do you communicate with every patient who has ever been in your practice? Here’s the bad news… If anyone on your patient list has not been communicated with in over a year, then they will be as responsive as a stranger to your marketing attempts—maybe even LESS responsive. So what IS “communication”? Here is what it is NOT: Birthday cards Holiday cards...
