Pick Yourself Up I will be the guest speaker at the September 14th District One meeting of the Georgia Chiropractic Association in Atlanta. I will be discussing how to Succeed in Difficult Economic Times. When numbers go down the choice is either to retreat to your comfort zone of denial and do nothing, get agitated and over react and cause more upset than help or best yet, review, re-evaluate and redo what's been missing and what can be cost effectively added. A viable and healthy practice is one with tuned teamwork, procedures and policies maintained and energy to grow and expand. A great television show to watch for parenting advice is the Super Nanny. All the advice and scenarios may not fit but there is plenty to chew on. A great television show to watch for practice management is Undercover Boss. CEO's of various corporations go undercover and work as an employee within many of their facilities. They train as a new staff member, do the mundane and everyday chores and realize that reality in the field is often not the reality in the boardroom. So, consider having an out of body experience placing yourself as a new staff member in your office being trained by either another staff member or yourself. Listen the staff feel comfortable and either gripe or praise. Live through the redundancy, ridiculous procedures and failed attempts to get things done and just watch how staff or you, the owner, leave growth behind by squelching new ideas or restraining change. Next consider yourself as a new patient. Call the office, fill out your case history forms, consult with you the doctor, be evaluated by whomever and get that report of findings. Feel the office, get the sense of caring and nurturing, live through patient procedures and evaluate if they stop growth and referrals or if the warmth and staff enthusiasm just wants you to return and tell others. There is no secret to success with either the economy booming or bust. Success breeds in all environments when the ingredients are available. As the undercover boss returns to the boardroom, changes are made. So just pick yourself up and take that out of body experience to an in body explosion of new ideas, procedural changes and renewed enthusiasm for what we do.
