The Magic Answer

I get calls every week from chiropractors from all over the U.S. who are seeking the "Magic Answer" to their practice problems, and believe that they will get that elusive "magic answer" from so practice management guru or company.

Now, if you line up ALL the practice management guys and really see what they are selling, doing, and promoting....guess what?....They are ALL selling, doing and promoting the exact same thing:

Exam, Consultation, X-rays, Don't Adjust on the 1st visit, and then on the 2nd visit, attempt to sell them on a "corrective care" plan for thousands of dollars. Now this is a quick fix for cash in the "now", but just like a heroin addict, it's a quick fix. What happens in a year, and most often sooner than that year?....The patient is like so done with you, with chiropractic, with the year plan, and can't wait to escape their prison of "corrective care".

Now, I used to do the whole "corrective care" model and had some success with it, but it was an ongoing nightmare of repeated selling of chiropractic plans, and patients always coming and going, and I just got burned out. There had to be a better way?...

Well, the PCT Open Practice Model of chiropractic practice is the ultimate practice model for any chiropractor today, and what is surprising is that most of the old time chiropractors who are caught up in the per visit charge model can't always see the beauty of this practice model.

Our next training is coming up in November on the 7th and 8th, and I would encourage you to sign up soon, as seats are going fast.

In January it will be our 3rd year anniversary of starting our trainings and seminars, and in only 3 short years, we are quickly becoming the choice of coaches by chiropractors.

And always remember....if you take care of God's people.....God will take care of you!

Stop listening to the Naysayers!

If you listen to most people, including chiropractors, they will all tell you how bad the economy is and how bad everything else is too....don't listen to them!

Now, if things are bad...does it make any sense that you'd raise people's taxes?....

Does it make any sense that you'd take advice from someone who is not successful? or has a successful practice?

Now, my practice is going full force and I get new signups every week, but I work at it... I don't rest on my laurels... and unlike most chiropractors.... I work... and I work hard....but I work smart...

Now, people are people...and people will still sign up for chiropractic care...if it makes sense to them... and if you have a fee system that makes sense....

Now...does any of this corrective care baloney..make any sense?... not to me...and for most people who do decide to sign up and pay upfront for expensive care...are usually gone after their sentence is served.

My good friend, Gay Gary... ( I call him that to differentiate him from Gary the dentist, Gary the cop, I guess, I could call him Gary the Chiropractor, but we already have a Gary the Chiropractor, So, Gay Gary describes him well)

Well, Gay Gary is always talking about how bad things are... his practice sucks...his life sucks....his house sucks...he's never grateful for anything at all, and to do my program, he won't do it...why?...because it involves work.

Gay Gary actually gets pissed off when people come into his office for an adjustment, and he has to get off the couch in his office while reading his favorite novel to go adjust them.

I'm always telling Gary...If you just work, and be Principled...you won't have these problems in practice... and why are you always so negative?...it's probably because of the people he hangs out with... I guess If I was 62 years old, and had no practice, and no significant other, I'd be pissed too...NOT!...

I always say this... if you aren't in jail, prison...or dead...life is good!... and remember... Scott Peterson...he'd trade places with any of his in a heart beat...including Gay Gary...

So, stop listening to the naysayers....today!

CALIFORNIA BOARD TO MAKE THINGS WORSE!

California Board is making some serious changes to our practice style.

In California right now, we are only required to have 12 hours of re-licensing, and the re-licensing can be done with an independent provider, which means that you can do it outside of the school.

Now, for 2009, the board is going to increase our re-licensing hours from 12 to 24 hours and all licensing will have to be done thru the so called chiropractic colleges, and the course fees will go from like $149 now for 12 hours to like $800 for 24 hours of re licensing thru the schools.

Here's the worse part.... at the end of the 24 hours...the chiropractor will have to take a test to pass with 80% or the chiropractor will not get the credits, and the chiropractor will be required to carry, 1 million, 3 million malpractice insurance or you'll not get licensed....can you believe that?....

Personally, I don't carry malpractice anymore, because it's a scam. I used to carry it for over 10 years, and the one time that I needed the help from my insurance carrier, they stalled me, and gave me the song and dance...."Well, Dr. did you take the patient's blood pressure?".... "Did you take the patient's vitals?"...no.... and my so called insurance carrier was supposedly a malpractice carrier for straight chiropractors.

Well, let me tell you this...if this happens.... I'll probably not be renewing my license and I'll just keep doing what I'm doing now, and call myself a neuropractor or something like that....

It's stupid that I'd put myself thru all of that, because I have very, very little insurance and for P.I.'s, I'll just refer them out.

So, our board sucks, and then they still want to be more and more medical.

HELLO.....FELLOW CHIROPRACTORS!

It is with Great Pleasure to be officially now a "blogger"....

My blogs promise to be interesting... never boring... and will help any chiropractor have a more successful chiropractic practice.

My blogs will be similar to my Principled Chiropractic Training Newsletters, but will be shorter in length, and promise to be different, but of course there will always be some overlap...just a little....

Anyway, My good friend and colleague... Eric "too cool" Gonzalez got me dialed in on the blogger.... so, thank Eric by referring anyone you know who needs a web guy..

Again, thanks.. and remember our Los Angeles Training will be this next week at the Radisson Hotel Westside....on August 1 and August 2....thanks... so much....

The Innnate in me...blesses the Innate in you peace!
