January 18 .. has a Lexus commercial with a beautiful lateral view of the spine. Practically every segment has a „thank you¾ written to the side. At the bottom of the page and to the left of the Lexus logo is a quality statement we should all strive for: „The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection.¾ The spine is just that .. we as chiropractors want to keep it that way! To the Lexus company I say: Thank You! E-mail message this week: Highlights The other day I was assisting my 14 year old son with his world history essay report. I tried to explain that he had to focus on a few keywords within the two sentence question and embellish his answer covering the specific key points. This brought to mind how we have to focus on our practice and work on the highlights leaving the rest aside. I am an avid reader of the Atlanta Business Chronicle. This is a great resource of what¼s happening in the city and their yearly List Book is worth the subscription itself. To see if there is a chronicle in your city or order their List Book or disk (listing every formidable company in each sector) call: 1-800-486-3289 or e-mail me and I¼ll tell you if it is published in your city. Okay .. while I was reading through this week¼s issue.. I came across a number of topics with many highlights .. key points .. focus topics. If I were giving a business class and asked the students to write a paper on any of the many topics .. I¼d have a year¼s material for my class. So .. I¼m going to mention a number of these highlights and ask you to take the time to focus and embellish and consider writing your own essay and answer their questions .. if you need reinforcement have someone read and share your thoughts with them or send it to me for grading. Never stop learning .. asking .. refining. Here are the highlights: Create a personal strategic plan for the future .. have a plan .. develop your unique selling proposition .. create patients for life .. invest in training .. assemble a board of advisors (possibly form a focus group with your patients and community) .. have a personal and career vision plan .. network .. become an expert in your field .. enthusiasm is contagious .. people buy from people they like .. do brain work not hard work .. claim your potential .. people sense when you have their best interests at heart .. if you want to be successful study success .. listen aggressively and always take notes (when the patient¼s speak .. listen) They also questioned (surveyed) a number of corporate CEO and these were some of the questions: What would you like to change at your company in the New Year? What was your biggest personal accomplishment of 1998? What was your biggest mistake of 1998? What or who do you think have the biggest influence on whether your business will be a success in 1999? What would you personally like to do in 1999? Postings this week: DE date in Atlanta: Register for the January 28 - 31, 1999 in Atlanta ..
