From: Dr. Margolies .. 8-8-02 www.chirosmart.net Note: I am in the throes of a hard drive crash and have been slack in my e-mail replies and updating my webpage.

Doc needs "Tic Talk" LUCC update: The Board of Trustees has added three new members .. Dr. Thomas Klapp .. Dr. Robert De Bonis and Dr. Sharon Gorman expanding the 12-member panel to 15. E-mail message this week: Bright Future While speaking at this past weekend廣 Fernandez Seminar .. I was struck by a conversation I had with a CA and a DC concerning Life University and the general Health and Wellness of Chiropractic. Both of these folks came from outlining states and were marginally knowledgeable of the issues and facts. Not aware of LUCC廣 daily implementations to recapture accreditation is frustrating for sure. But .. rumors and false thoughts add flame to the fire of fear and doubt. Same is true for the Health and Wellness of Chiropractic. The future is not bleak but bright and Chiropractic will not only survive but flourish .. I suspect the same for LUCC. Survivors always find ways to maneuver their fate and settle to live and breathe at their pace. If you sit quietly and review what is .. rather than what isn廠 .. you may be quite surprised that the potential for success far outweighs the doom and gloom. We are at a crossroads in Healthcare. People no longer drink only from the well of medicine .. they have moved on to greener pastures and enlightened wellness horizons. Consider how many magazines .. cable television programs .. internet sites .. stores and spas focus on alternative wellness concepts. Consider how many corporate facilities have set aside space for wellness and are searching for proactive ergonomic programs. Consider how many vendors are soliciting to us more than ever before. Consider the potential of your demographic environment and seize the momentum within this crest of new awareness. Consider this: Need new patients .. consider some office workshops for those you already have Need new patients .. create a database of corporate neighbors and prepare various programs such as stress/postural screenings .. ergonomic workshops .. safety walk throughs .. health fair participation .. establish a workers compensation healthcare provider relationship Need new patients .. create a database of church and civic groups with member meetings and provide wellness classes .. stress management programs .. aging gracefully classes Need new patients .. meet community professionals such as attorneys .. medical physicians .. allied health care providers .. emergency room personnel .. sport coaches Need new patients .. follow these general rules .. be persistent and follow through with marketing and above all be ethical and caring. We have such a gift to offer people but they are clueless about the potential of chiropractic unless you have the opportunity to teach them or teach others to do so. The sky is literally the limit for your practice to be all you want it to be. Capitalism dictates that those that reach out have the potential to gather the rewards while those that wish only a handout get the crumbs. Attending seminars and spending the cash to purchase flyers and advertising is only as good as the control and coordination of the purchaser. You must apply and implement .. if you think you are incapable or sense that it is unprofessional for the doctor to promote .. then hire someone .. it may be your best investment. My Smart Start Book (purchased via my webpage) has a chapter on hiring staff .. especially for public relations. So I conclude with this thought. If you have a thriving business watch your overhead and profit and loss column. If you have a floundering practice with limited funds consider what I wrote above .. it costs nothing but time and energy .. start small and reinvest money and time and watch the practice boom. If your practice EKG lifeline is a perfect flat line .. you need a cardiopractice jump start. Attend some seminars .. talk to DC廣 with some clue of what to do and if you wish educational material .. purchase one of many chiropractic books. Start with mine .. Smart Start 261 pages of practice management and public relations $60 .. Workshop Workbook .. $25 .. Marketing and Public Relations .. $25 .. Personal Injury Workbook .. $25. These can be purchased on my webpage. Also consider attending seminars such as the next Fernandez Seminar in Atlanta which will focus on building an ethical personal injury habit. I will be teaching marketing to the attorney and building a worker廣 comp practice .. as well as working with your CA and letting them know the difference between PI and regular care. The next date is September 14 and 15. To make it easy .. call them and let them I know you read about the seminar here for some discounts .. 1-800-882-4476.

There is no excuse to survive and survive well. Be assured your and our futures are glowingly BRIGHT!
