How To Become Successful
Of all the questions I get asked, most boil down to the simple query of “How Can I Become Successful?” Sure there are derivative questions but it boils down to this singular concept.
And even though this was addressed to me, I believe Calvin Coolidge had the right answer if there is just one…
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.
My take on this is the ability to start and complete. We get the ability to start out of our vision for what we want to create and the ability to carry on is often the result of sufficient motivation to see it through.
That said, the biggest problem I see with docs is that they are chasing someone else’s definition of success instead of defining it for themselves.
My friend and colleague, Dr. Chad Hawk will be presenting on just this concept during this year’s Annual Management Planning Seminar (save the date now and join us on November 1 in San Diego…info available on this

I asked Chad if he would like to elaborate and I think he’s spot on. Here’s what he sent me:
“There is an underlying tension in our profession that isn’t discussed at conferences or seminars. It isn’t brought up very often in mastermind groups or coaching calls. In fact, I have never really heard it discussed openly with frank discussion in a group of chiropractors.
It is an odd contradiction. We adjust differently, talk differently, look different, have different practices, see different practice members, and have vastly different life experiences. But, we try and do the same things to be “successful.” The very things that make us shine, each of our unique traits and characteristics, are often minimized. We try and follow scripts, do screenings, be like someone else because what they do worked for them, and even act the way we think we should act to be what we think we need to be! All the while, the very thing that makes us special withers away. We wonder why things aren’t working. We wonder why our recommendations are not followed. And why we are not at peace.
We try and to be warriors for Chiropractic! We talk the TIC. We are principled. We live and breathe the 33. But it simply isn’t clicking.
What is wrong?
Here is a secret. Chiropractic doesn’t need your help. That’s right. The principles are true. Chiropractic is eternally secure. Chiropractors are weak. We are insecure. We are faulty. We are subluxated. We corrupt something that is pure and sacred.
Sadly, we do it out of fear or pride. I know I have.
There is one thing that Chiropractic expects from us. We must be who we are made to be. We must be beautiful expressions of our own life and not someone else’s life. So adopt solid business principles that are like our principles, timeless, and quit winging it. Stop trying to be someone or something you are not. Guess what? It is scary at first. You will probably need help. But something miraculous happens; you become free.
It is time to learn more. Please accept this invitation to attend Dr. Hoffman’s Business Planning Seminar November 1 where I will be the kick-off speaker…

************QUICK MARKETING FOLLOW-UP**********
A few days ago we sent an alert for a google hangout with Dr. Alan…here’s the follow up from Dr. Alan since it was so last minute…
Yesterday the live event I did for Alex Mandossian was a huge success. If you didn’t get a chance to watch it I want you to do so right away because I know it is coming down next Friday. Click here to watch the live event.
Here is what Alex himself said about it,
“I wasn’t on live, but man … you CRUSHED it today Dr. A! I loved how you specifically focused TRENDS and made it “brain based” and not “sales based” … you can take my spot any Friday!!!!!
Don’t want you to watch it just because you are going to see every marketer on the planet who is anybody using the VIP Desktop, Smart Phone and Tablet Apps since I can tell you that is already in the works. I want you to watch it because without these Apps you will no longer be able to reach your patients and potential patients and it is not only true for email but for Facebook also. So go watch it first.
Then, after you are done I want you to go here to find out about your own mobile Apps and what you will get is more compliant lifelong patients…
You can get your own mobile Apps for a fraction of what the big players are getting it for at least for a short while.
So check out the event first here.
Then go to find out about your own mobile Apps here.
