E-mail message this week .. Reflection for the New Year

Once again, we come to the end of the year and another moment to reflect on where weıve 
been and where we wish to go.  If your e-mail and snail mail is anything like mine, you are 
inundated with promotions for chiropractic products and seminars. Introductory samples 
and sales are common with many vendors and discount weekends are often available by 
many of our chiropractic consultants and seminars. In fact, Dr. Karl Parker has offered a 
free seminar in Las Vegas this January with 23 hours of CE classes, look for his posting 
below for details. It isnıt too difficult to smart start a new practice, jump start a wayward 
practice or maintain and surge an established and well run office facility. Therefore, I 
recommend, prior to getting into the New Year,  some quality time be spent on reflection 
and consultation with those responsible for your success or lack thereof. 

Concentrate on the why and because of your statistics. If you are proud of your success 
and your practice works like a charm, you still have to justify why to maintain the because 
of your success. People and places fall into place only because you have steadied your ship 
and all hands on deck follow a map charted by you, thatıs why you succeed year after year. 
Reflect on this and also if you have profited and accumulated both with wealth in treasure 
and wealth in soul. Success comes in many forms and more of it only allows you to share 
your bounty with others. The purpose of life is to survive and the purpose of chiropractic is 
to add quality to the lives of those we touch. The numbers we serve and the rewards we 
gather are bound together. Your lack of commitment, service or purpose reduces the 
intensity of your glow and dilutes the power of your office from the head, you, to each 
extremity, your staff and down to the lifeblood itself, your patients. Never underestimate to 
power of commitment, your continued success depends on it. 

If your numbers are low or flat can you justify this easily or do you have to jump through 
hoops to make it right in your mind? If money is involved, is the lack of it stopping your 
progress or the fear of using or working with it a concern? Are their demons in your closet 
that get dredged up each time you want to move forward preventing you from making 
sound and reasonable decisions or even entertaining positive thoughts? Is the colloquial 
fear of failure the rationale behind your rationale? So many variables here that 
psychologists can survive on chiropractic doctors only as their patients. 

As a profession, we are generally a competitive breed. Always comparing our numbers to 
others or worrying about the doctor down the street. I imagine this keeps us from 
becoming stale, but it will also drags us down if we decide not to join in the competitive 
game and resign to the numbers we produce. No shame here, but if you wish to venture to 
the next level and feel you lack the proper skills, no fear as there are numerous seminars 
and consultants out there willing to help you turn things around. Granted you have to 
spend money to travel to seminars, to join or visit seminars during weekends, to purchase 
the necessary props or equipment and gather the learning skills to make it work, but the 
receiving is available if you are willing to make a strong commitment, follow through with 
the ideas and delegate your authority. But, here lies the rub. Many doctors lack the 
business sense to run a business or lack the know how to maintain it. Hiring a business 
coach may be the best decision made and the income spent.

I recommend you spend time either during this weekend prior to the start of 2007 or during 
the early part of the New Year to reflect on where youıve been and where you wish to be. 
Ponder your dreams that further wealth or reaching even modest goals can bring and 
determine if your pace is set on the right track. If you predict more of the same and it is 
unacceptable, you may wish to find a coach so your team of staff, patients and community 
can benefit from a solid practice not more of the same. Visit my webpage: 
www.chirosmart.net and look under weblinks and from there look for consultants. I have 
linked most if not all of them. If you wish to attend seminars while watching them on the 
computer, visit www.mbachiropractic.com for their list of available downloadable 
seminars, including some of mine. Also, take advantage of the mega seminars with various 
instructors such as found at the Parker and Karl Parker seminars and when the occasional 
flyer or e-mail shows up at your door or computer, seize the moment and take the plunge, 
you may like the journey. 

I wish you all a Happy and Health and Prosperous New Year

Have a Great Day

Dr. M
