Doc, Wonder Who Is Being Straight With You?
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter As an industry, Chiropractic lacks consumer trust. Trust is built over time through relationship, reputation, relevance, repetition, and reliance. That’s why the majority of your past patients don’t come in any longer and don’t refer others. It’s not your fault. You have been trained to believe that being good should be good enough. Unfortunately, it’s not. You...

They think that they make more money doing so. And even worse… They think that if they didn’t, patients would complain or maybe even leave them for some other office in town. Nope. Not the case. Not even close. Actually, the...
Doc, Who Do You Hang With?
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Professionally, who do you hang with? A few local docs who either envy or deceive you? Or just those who make it so easy to feel superior around?

How To Maintain A Productive Work Mood
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Maybe I’m unique but I don’t think so… Do you sometimes not feel like working ON your business? That’s what I thought. We ARE alike! Hey I admit it, attracting, and managing “customers” can be a pain in the butt. To ignore the fact that they need help, they come across as if you need them more than they need you. They want change but resist change. They don’t...
