Atlanta office available to lease E-mail message this week: Forrest Gump I had the opportunity to watch Forrest Gump the other day and I would like to share the chiropractic/businessperson message in just one great scene. You all remember that Forrest was a sickly young child .. in fact .. their family doctor told his mother he would have to walk with braces on both legs. Being different .. he was ridiculed by fellow students which didn¼t really seem to upset him. Forrest was a simple child with an inner world that was all he needed to sustain himself. As you may know .. I receive many daily e-mails with practice questions which I reply to the same day. Often questions concern contract deals .. poor business management .. non aggressive marketing .. difficulty in getting started .. sustaining an existing practice as well as personal problems that transcend into the office. I also teach students at Life university about ready to graduate. I understand also their anxiety and fear about starting out and leaving the womb of college. Invariably .. my answers are usually the same. No matter how far you feel you are in the dumps .. how deep in debt .. how managed care has chopped your profits .. or whatever .. the picture can change dramatically if others were able to walk in your shoes and made some changes. So too with Forrest. The scene .. I¼m sure you remember .. was when he was walking with his young friend and a number of kids on bikes began to taunt him. His friend began to yell „run Forrest run.¾ With each leg in restricted braces .. Forrest slowly began to trot and as he quickened the pace his braces fell apart and he was free. Not only was he able to run but his speed kept the bikes at bay. In fact .. Forrest never stopped running. Wherever he went .. being himself .. he was accepted and succeeded. People from all walks of life when close to this simple man .. found sincerity and trust. As Chiropractors .. no matter how we practice .. we have a gift that others need. Our simple and profound truth may be ridiculed and misunderstood by some but the people we need to reach are searching for simplicity and truth. We all have a bit of Forrest Gump in us .. a child like persona .. a quest for more .. a search for fulfillment. So when anxiety begins to peek out from some subconscious fold of brain tissue .. begin to trot .. quicken the pace and get rid of those braces that have been holding you down. Need some help .. just e-mail me. If interested in my books .. Smart Start.. $59.95 .. Marketing and Public Relations I .. $20 .. PI Workbook .. $20 ..
