If no, things are better and you’re on track to accomplish your objectives for 2014, great.
If yes, then why is the question because there are many reasons why a practice or business would plateau (just like there are many reasons why a patients health can plateau). Have you applied the same reasoning you would offer them to your current situation? Read more
Our long term subscribers know this but for all our new subscribers…Thanksgiving is my family’s TOP holiday of the year. Imagine a holiday to remind us of all we have been blessed with and all we are grateful for. This holiday always combined that tradition with both my son’s birthday as well as my Dad’s. It was, is and will continue to be a tradition of reflection of both the ups and downs we have experienced and the recognition that those events, victories, losses and tragedies all provide the contract through which we can acknowledge all that we have to be grateful for. So, in that spirit, please accept our best wishes for a happy and healthy Thanksgiving this year and every year. We are grateful for you and all you do and are blessed to be part of your lives and have you be part of ours.

CureNotProfit:
Inspired by Caroline, a brave and beautiful little girl with a very serious cancer, CureNotProfit was created by my son and daughter-in-law as a way of providing both Caroline and her pregnant mom and other families with serious medical and/or financial needs with free chiropractic care.
Her mom has shared Caroline’s chiropractic story with many others at Rady’s Children’s Hospital in San Diego because Caroline’s doctors have noticed that she has done better than most her peers with the same type of cancer.
My son Ian said, “we are brought to happy tears knowing that Caroline is now back in school, done with medical treatments, will be off all medications next month, and her beautiful hair is now much longer than mine!”
Caroline and her mom continue to receive free care and they’re not alone.
Let us pay you back big time for supporting this Non-Profit. Here’s what you can do now and realize we will be sending more info in a few days.
Simply CLICK HERE and make a tax deductible donation of $99 or more and you’ll be supporting this great cause and will receive our Practical Philosophy Video and our Managment Seminar materials (nearly $500 value) as our way of saying thanks.

Have you heard of Google+ Live Hangouts?
In fact I used it during the planning seminar and it was a big hit. The problem has always been it takes hours to learn how to do them, that is until now.
It turns out that Dr. Randi I Ross from Community Wellness Day and Dr. Alan wrote an entire E-Book that includes step by step videos, MP3s, flowcharts, transcription, and notes that will get you up and running in a matter of minutes, and they even have a special chapter on getting Google Reviews for your practice.
The amazing part is that they put the entire thing together for only $47.00. I suggest everyone get it because the it is the easiest way for you to learn it.

What is dogma?
According to Ayn Rand, dogma is a set of beliefs accepted on faith; that is, without rational justification or against rational evidence. A dogma is a matter of blind faith.
Where do we see evidence of dogma in chiropractic…in the coaching Read more
A frequent coaching question and topic revolves around x-ray….
Should I?
Shouldn’t I?
If I do, do I take point of pain only?

Last Chance for the Business Development Seminar on November 1…
First a few words…everyone has heard the cliche that if you fail to plan you are planning to fail…
ITS NOT TRUE! Read more
One that I receive over and over and over again and a quick question about technic so let’s do the technic question first:
My partner, Dr. Alan, just sent me this email that said if I thought the Forbes article or the recent articles on stroke and cervical manipulation were bad for our public image….I just had to see this. So I immediately clicked on the link he sent me and, well, you tell me:
http://aboutrealhealth.com/summit/public-perception
And Now, the COACHES CORNER
It’s the 4th Quarter:
First Down or Touch Down?
Chiropractors continually play this game of First Down meaning they arbitrarily pick a goal (number) for their practice. Then, every day or week that goes by that they don’t hit this arbitrary goal, they beat themselves up (mentally) with lots of negative self talk.
Somewhere down the line if they hit this arbitrary goal, there’s no big celebration…no little dance…nothing except then setting a new arbitrary goal that they can once again beat themselves up over every time they don’t make it.
This game of First Downs is in direct contradiction to the Law of Attraction in that what you are constantly telling yourself (and your staff) is that you are lacking.
And, no one ever won a football game by scoring the most first downs….you win by getting into the end zone. The problem is that most chiropractors don’t know where their End Zone is nor where they are on the playing field. Those two pieces missing and the game becomes almost impossible to win.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
What do we know? Outcomes are driven by actions and actions and we withhold action due to a perceived lack of skill and, for most docs, that missing skill set is business acumen.
What should be clear at this point is that the Annual Business Development Planning Seminar is unlike any other experience you have had in chiropractic before and there are reasons for that.
Combine these ingredients, and, at least in my mind, I could not imagine what could hold you back from taking the needed steps to experience the life and practice you have always told yourself you wanted.
Isn’t it time to take a stand for YOU?
Now Is YOUR Time to get where YOU want to go!
Enough excuses…time to act….

Grass Roots and Chiropractic Trends
Grass-roots activism in the United States has generally been directed at correcting problems, abuses, and issues that a large number of people believe are not being addressed by the powers that be.Different movements have used different strategies.
Among these movements, going back to the 1930’s is labor activism. Swinging forward 40 years we find Earth Day which was the beginning of a movement that continues to this day.
What does this have to do with chiropractic? Well, in the 1930’s BJ sparked a grass roots movement to travel “the hiways and byways” and airwaves bringing the message of chiropractic. He spoke with, to and for chiropractors but the message was for the public…not the chiropractor. In the late 60’s and early 70’s we saw a movement spearheaded by todays profession’s icons, namely Gold, Sigafoose, Flesia, Riekeman, Williams, Parker and Gelardi among many others to again bring the chiropractic message to the public.
It’s time for mobilization…not of chiropractors speaking to other chiropractors but for chiropractors to be speaking to the public.If we, as a profession won’t do it, who will?
If you, as a practitioner won’t do it, who will?
I can’t tell you how many docs I speak to that all have the same lament…ultimately the lament of every failed business which is…
“There were so many things we could have done, we just didn’t do them”
How many times can I hear that the public “just doesn’t get it” before I scream that they don’t get it because we’re not communicating it. And yet….
I know docs have their hands full so what’s the answer?
What’s your answer?
What can be done?
This and many other topics crucial to the success of your business in 2015 will be the central subject of this year’s Business Development Meet known as the Annual Management Planning Seminar….details on

They who? Your current and prospective patients.
You tell them the story. You tell them what they have to gain. You tell them how important their life and health is and they tell you “NO” or, worse yet, they make excuses.
Are you making the same ones they make? Better yet, do you realize how, by you making these excuses, you actually attract people that make them? This is the age old concept of contradictions. If you would say “no” to you, how can you expect others to say “yes” to you.
Reality Check Please…
I don’t have the time
Don’t you wonder when the patient will find the time to make their health a priority? Do you point out to them that it actually takes less time and energy to grow their health than it does to overcome a health issue?
I can’t tell you how many times the light bulb lights up over a doctor’s head when I point out to them that they spend way too much time working IN their business and way too little time working ON their business. After all, your business is the vehicle that allows your practice to happen!
If you don’t make time for your business, you will spend all of your time working in it…it doesn’t have to be that way.
I’m overwhelmed with stuff to do now
This is really the same issue. If the patient doesn’t invest the time to grow their health, where will they find the time to try to resolve a problem? Overwhelm is simply too many starts and not enough completions.
I get it…you’re full. Do you know how many times this is one of the first subjects I discuss with a new client. On one hand, everyone wants MORE and on the other hand, I hear they’re FULL or overwhelmed. Overwhelm is almost always a time management issue and an inability to prioritize what is really important. On the other hand, doing what you say you will do is how you grow your personal power. These are basics we will definitely look at at the Planning Seminar.
By the way, don’t you think the stress of overwhelm keeps both you and your practice members from reaching your fullest potential? And, just look at what you’re feeding your subconscious (your Innate).
They just don’t “get it”
Why would they? They’ve spent their lives in an allopathic model and, when they break down, they seek solutions to their problems. When this doesn’t work, they eventually turn to us and, instead of looking for an “un”used solution to their problem, we focus on finding the cause of their malfunction and breakdown. In so doing, we give them a unique opportunity to actually see their health turn around in a positive way.
Your turn. I get this from prospective coaching clients all the time…looking for solutions to problems that they’ve been unable to solve on their own or with their current coach. Imagine if, instead of looking for solutions, they sought to know the cause of their business and practice issues?
You have to admit…it just makes more sense.
I’m not ready yet
This is the classic perfectionist EXCUSE. The problem is that you have likely accepted it as true. No one gets ready by waiting until they’re ready just like no one improves while they’re waiting to get better. It is also a classic public mindset. Successful (and healthy) people are proactive and take action NOW and then refine it by doing not by waiting.
I’m inviting you to do your PLANNING with me. Wouldn’t you love to know where your business will be by this time next year?
It’s too late to make arrangements
If you continue to procrastinate, that WILL be true. At the moment, there is still room for you. At this moment there are just 5 seats left for the Business Development Intensive. That won’t last much longer so do what you would want your public to do….GET IN THE GAME NOW!
It really is time for you to make a decision!
Let me be your guide to developing the business, practice and life you want. Invest just one day with me and maybe a few hours at my house the next day. I promise it will be the most valuable thing you can do for your business this year.
Enough excuses…time to act….
