Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Let’s face it—to some degree—we all are lazy. We can all do more right things, do more right things better, and do less of everything else. How do you know what those “right” things are? Well, that’s for another time but I will tell you this… It’s more objective in business than it is anywhere else. So if you don’t already know that you are TOO lazy, here’s how...
How To Manage Money Stress
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Financial stress and pressure sucks. …and to make matters worse, the bad mood and funk that it creates can make recognizing the obvious solutions virtually impossible. Forget about what caused the problem in the first place. That’s history. However, you must assume that in one way or another, you caused it. …Because if you don’t first take this stance, then...
Do Less, Not More
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter How do you succeed in practice while leaving room for friends, family, fitness, hobbies, and side businesses that you are passionate about (provided they target those already equally as passionate as you or are things that you don’t need to monetize that really turn you on)? By doing less, not more. This means that you eliminate unnecessary products, services...
What Does “Work” Look Like To You?
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter “I gotta go to work.” “I’m busy working.” “I can’t, I’m working.” “What time do you get off work?” “What do you do for work?” …Questions and statements about work. They are endless and are subjective in their meanings. …But I contend that entrepreneurs and true business people have a different, unique, and more agreeable definition of and relationship with...
Your Biggest Enemy
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Chiropractors fall into so many traps. Envy/fast money… Passion… “Working hard”… All are traps that do not lead to success. That is why “inaccurate thinking” is your biggest enemy. It can cost you a lifetime of sadness and struggle. So what’s the short answer solution? Don’t think about what other Chiropractors are doing. Don’t think about what Chiropractic is...
“Life” Thinking
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter For me, my mood is everything. It doesn’t matter what I know, what I have, or what I want… if I’m not in the right state of mind, I become blind. Blind to the big picture. Blind to business. Blind to solutions. Blind to the right questions. Blind to life. So if you want to get or stay “in the zone”, remember this… You probably already know what you are doing...
“Laziness” Thinking
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter I love thinking. Real thinking. Undistracted… Not rushed… …and Alone—ideally, in a comfortable and stimulating environment outside of the house and office. Laziness thinking wants the answer right now. Laziness thinking never asks the right, the hard, the uncomfortable questions….or asks any questions at all. Laziness thinking is emotional thinking. Real...
“Long-Term” Thinking
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter “Long-Term” Thinking Want to ruin your practice? Think short-term. “Pre-pays” are short-term. “Patient Appreciation Days” are short-term. “P.I. practices” are short-term. Even “educating” patients about Chiropractic BEFORE the got what they want—which is what motivated them to see you in the first place—is short-term thinking. Any business model...
“Leverage” Thinking
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Want to get more done? Want to reap future rewards from your present day efforts? Want to increase your per hour worth? Then think “Leverage”. Although it is impossible to create leverage all of the time, for certain, the more you remind yourself of the importance of it, the more successful you will become… You will make better decisions. You will think before...
Why I Have No Goals
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter “Goals” I hate that word. Especially “Long-term goals”. To most, it means nothing. Meaning…the word may motivate but it sure has heck doesn’t increase or guarantee success. The only way to virtually guarantee success is … TO BE AS NIMBLE AS POSSIBLE. And the way you do that is by treating each day as if it is your last. Today, do everything you can to build your...
