This week we will consider the third factor that will have a significant affect on your results this year. If you explore it and use it wisely you will amplify every goal, resolution and hope that you currently have. We have spoken about the importance of structure and its appropriate alignment whether it is your body, your relationships or your practice or business. We then explored the importance of movement with flexibility and grace – putting structure to the test…
This week we will look at the second factor that will have a significant affect on your results this year. Use it to amplify every goal, resolution and hope that you currently have. This will ensure that you will be in a much stronger position in life by the end of 2014. Once you have your structure aligned, be it you body, your relationships or your practice the next consideration becomes, how do you use the structure? A key to…
In the last few Blogs of 2013 we considered the journey that we took through the year. Now that that is behind us we are in a position to look ahead into 2014 and bring the experience gained into a force for growth and expansion in the upcoming year. My observation of the ‘secret’ of a successful way of being a human and a great chiropractor is quite simple. The following 7 factors (not necessarily in any priority order) are…
I wanted to continue on from where we left off last week in our observation of how it is that we create what we create in the course of a year. If you are like most people there are areas in your life where you are not where you thought you would be by now. You may have dropped the ball when some circumstances occurred. It may have been something good. It seems strange that things being easy can cause…
With the end of the year fast approaching I am sure that you are hearing others (and maybe yourself) saying – “OMG, where did the year go?” Quite a valid question, I would say. Are you and your practice where you thought you would be by this December when 2013 began? How does your reality line up with the reality that you imagined at the beginning of the year? Have your plans resulted in the outcomes that you set 12…
Chiropractic is the most sustainable, cleanest, energy efficient, non-polluting health care system that I know of. As chiropractors, we work with the most powerful ally in our area of endeavour – LIFE. Based on the fundamental premise that we are living in an organised and intelligent world we study what normal looks like. (Even the study of pathology is the study of the ‘normal’ death of a living system) and assist wherever we can to facilitate a person to adjust…
A sustainable practice is a practice that has a long-term growth plan for its team. Practices, which adopt a huge vision, which includes a hairy audacious ‘why’, create an environment for growth on all levels. With an expansive attitude the practice supports the individual growth of practice members and the practice team alike. There are upsides and downsides to this phenomenon. The upside is that people are constantly challenged to be their best and produce their best work. In an…
Following on from the previous blog where I outlines the elements of an unsustainable practice, this week and in the coming weeks I will take a few moments to identify some of the many characteristics of a sustainable practice. I will outline some of the key distinctions of these practices and identify a few suggestions for you to implement in your practice if this is an issue for you. The mark of a sustainable practice is in the ability to…
Last week we suggested that you review your Statement of Purpose and consider the profile of your “Ideal Person”. After doing that I am sure that you will have a way of identifying the general style, look and feel of the values, beliefs and character traits of your favourite people. These are the people who you love to work with. Today I am suggesting that within these “ideal people” there are further categories that give you a profile of a…
Often in practice we are faced with making decisions around the application of our technique that have us doing more rather than less and less when we should do more. How do you know when you have done just enough? BJ Palmer DC, pioneer and developer of Chiropractic is quoted as saying , “The fundamental of this clinic is to see how little we can do, at how few places, how rarely, and how quickly it can be done, to…
Practice and life can feel like a series of high wire trapeze swings. Imagine yourself either hanging on to a trapeze bar swinging along or, for a few moments at a time hurtling through space in between the trapeze bars. Most of the time we are tightly hanging on to our trapeze-bar-of-the-moment. It carries you along at a certain steady rate of swing and you have the feeling that you’re in control of your life. You know most of the…
This week we will consider the fifth factor that will have a significant affect on your results this year. If you explore it and use it wisely you will amplify every goal, resolution and hope that you currently have. We have spoken about the importance of structure and its appropriate alignment. We then explored the importance of movement with flexibility and grace. We then considered deciding on the direction you wished to proceed and eliminating everything that does not support…
