Rather than setting the usual big resolutions for 2015 that are usually impossible to achieve and often easy to break, I suggest that you act small and locally – very locally in fact. The vision for, and the associated actions that you have for your team and practice members along with those people close by is your most effective instrument of empowerment. Your ability to affect your immediate sphere of influence and their future is profound. Everything you think, say…
Having trouble explaining the chiropractic journey to new and existing practice members? Each of your practice members absorbs information differently. Words can be confusing and go in one ear and out the other. Many people need a combination of visual and verbal. Chiropractic charts and posters are a great way to deliver information to your practice members in a simple, easy to understand way. What do your walls say to practice members? Apart from being great tools for delivering information….
As we slip into the end of year mode and prepare for the year ahead it is a good time to reflect on that which was during 2014 whilst at the same time also consider that which could have been during the year. During the year we at Quest have seen huge change occurring in the lives and practices of the majority of our clients. Many of you have literally kicked butt and made massive shifts both personally and professionally….
On the back of last week’s blog regarding the wisdom of leaving that that needs to still be done with and for practice members to TOMORROW I wanted to elaborate a little further. This brings us to considering the value of a forward plan of care for the development and enhancement of your practice members. Too often we can be guilty of thinking that because we have dealt with an area or problem, be it in the spine or the…
As a chiropractor I bet you are feeling two urges with every person you adjust. I bet that you will have a deep desire to really physically help the person and also have a yearning for the person to understand chiropractic, life and health just as you do. I also bet that you want to help people so much that you want to try to do everything that you can see that they need right now, while they are on…
Following on from last week’s comments on the ‘Stones’ and especially Mick Jagger’s magic I wanted to make note of some of their lyrics that may be insightful for you and your practice. We seem to be in a world where people are conditioned to going after what they want. This is seen to its extreme at Christmas. I heard this week that the average Australian family will spend $4,000 this Christmas – 30 billion nationally. The recipients of this…
I couldn’t let this week’s blog go by without a comment on what I got up to this past weekend. In fact, as I think about it there are a number of messages that I will convey to you based on this experience over the next few weeks. Anyway, I attended the Rolling Stone’s 14 Australia tour performance in the Hunter Valley, NSW and oh, what a show. 20,000 people of all ages and generations rocked to the music that…
Potential and recently enrolled practice members are coming to your practice carrying with them their own understanding of health, health care, chiropractic and in fact their own worldview. They don’t know (and probably don’t care much) about what you know. They don’t necessarily see things as you do. Metaphorically, you might see it that they use a different type and style of ‘boat’ to navigate the waters of their life than you do. The question must be then ‘What is…
How often do you hear yourself saying that you need your CA to do something different, that you need more New People in your practice, that you need more time or any number of pleas of neediness? There is a direct relationship between needing and having. I think that the more we need, the less we are capable of having. The greater your need for anything, the less you will have of that which you ‘need’. Whether it is in…
“Excellence can be attained if you…. Care more than others think is wise. Risk more than others think is safe. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible.” – Jim Gentil Here’s the fourth comment on Jim Gentil’s quote on Excellence. I suggest that if you take the time over the next week to focus on each of these statements you will see major changes occur for yourself and your practice. Expecting more than…
“Excellence can be attained if you…. Care more than others think is wise. Risk more than others think is safe. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible.” – Jim Gentil This week we continue to dissect the above quote on excellence. This line which reads “Dream more than others think is practical” causes us to think about the power of big dreams. Big dreams are what build big practices and big businesses. Lofty…
“Excellence can be attained if you… Care more than others think is wise. Risk more than others think is safe. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible.” – Jim Gentil This week’s quote has so much wisdom in it so we will explore it under the 4 topics that it deserves. I suggest that if you take the time over the next four weeks to focus on each of these statements you will…
