Poor Dad I am sure many of you have either read the book or listened to the CD of Rich Dad .. Poor Dad. If not, I recommend you either purchase a copy or find it in your local library. The business of chiropractic includes gathering and caring for our patients but just as important as caring for our family and self. Seminars and consultant gurus are more than eager to guide you through the maze of patient recruitment and practice management but few take the time to discuss what it takes to maintain and grow with your financial rewards. Is there any doctor out there reading this e-mail not saving for their future, their retirement, for private education of their kids, for their dream vacation or the bounty of assets that will make their later years an easy go. Regardless of how many years you are in practice, you must protect your future now. I havenšt time nor the ability to go over finance 101 but trust me, if you think I am crazy or feel that living in the present is all youšll need for the future, I recommend you find a tax adviser and get some education. The cruelest thing about public and often private education is the lack of time spent on financial health. Elementary students should learn the basics of wealth production if not more than learning how to mange a lemonade stand or maintain a paper route, I did both as a kid. The youngest amongst us lives on a budget, determines what to purchase now or later, reviews quality and quantity and realizes shortly that coming up short is not the outcome they wish. The money we create in our field of work depends on the outcome of our product and skills. The same product in the hands of others can generate a gross amount of money while you and others may struggle. A decision concerning patient acquisition and managing them is a product of your ability to capture and maintain interest in your work. We all want a healthy practice, the numbers of people in the community are the same but some amongst us attract while others push them away. Business 101 must include commitment and perseverance. Financial 101 also includes commitment and perseverance but a steadfast agreement to save and let the savings grow exponentially. Rather than getting into details, find and read this book. Begin the process of financial education as later is not better than sooner. You will thank me if you read this and take it to heart. You will curse me if you live in the present as you know that the present youšll open in the future may be empty. Have a Great Day and Happy Thanksgiving Dr. M Postings: Dr. Joel E.
