E-mail message this week .. Getting Back To Basics

I am winding down this quarters LUCC PEAK student program and discussing with my 
student intern the steps to create a successful new practice prior to her graduating in a few 
weeks and joining our honored ranks. By the way, if you are a DC looking for a great 
associate in Virginia, she has my highest endorsement, just reply back for details.

If only it was so simple to lay out successful steps and walk away and come back with it 
all in place. Too simple maybe, but whether we like it or not, we need to be prepared for 
success with everything in place so confidence is at its peak and action is taken to assure 
the community knows we exist. Step back a bit and close your eyes and remember your 
first steps out of Chiropractic College. What did you do to get going or are you still trying 
to find out. Where did you turn for advice, gather data to sign that first lease or agree to 
be an independent contractor or work as an associate with hopefully a fair contract. What 
steps did you put in place to create community awareness and how successful has it been 
since. What pieces of the puzzle did you use from diagnostic to adjusting tools. Are the 
forms you used still being used or have you tweaked them after finding them too 
overwhelming or not whelming enough. What educational tools were in place to create 
chiropractic awareness and referral mentality such as visual or written media and how 
were staff chosen and put up to speed? Wow, a lot to think about, and a lot to be done but 
if any were missed, misused or misplaced, results are what you see, hit or miss or right on 
target.

Doctor, imagine if you will with the years behind your belt, if you were able to do it 
again, what would be different. The PEAK program gives you this opportunity to step 
back and review your procedures, where you slacked off and through the eyes and ears of 
another, make the changes you wished you did. Your alma mater may offer a similar 
program, just ask. For details about the Life University PEAK program, I recommend 
you contact Dr. John Markham at john.markham@life.edu PEAK mentors doctors are 
worldwide. 

I am familiar with a unique program for new doctors or DC's needing to jumpstart their 
practice, the Practice Starters with Fernandez Consulting: www.drfernandez.com or call 
1-800-882-4476. They coach the new graduate from choosing the proper clinic location, 
clinic design, rental contracts, advertising, marketing and the successful steps from soup 
to nuts. Timely statistics are reviewed and follow through phone consultations allow 
either a mild tweak or overhauling failing or enhancing winning actions. Other 
consultants offer similar programs, check their websites found on my webpage under 
weblinks: www.chirosmart.net  

Getting Back To Basic once in awhile is a good thing

Have a Great Day

PS .. register for the Personal Injury seminar at the next Fernandez Seminar in Atlanta, 
March 12 and 13. I will be speaking for four hours on how to simplify a PI practice, 
Professional Alliances and more. Call them at 1-800-882-4476, listening to Brad Hayes 
discuss insurance is worth the ticket alone, naturally besides me and the other speaker.

He wrote an eBook called The 21-Day New Patient Makeover that is available at no
