If you’re a Canadian chiropractor, you likely know about the recent hit piece regarding chiropractic in the Globe and Mail.

It’s just one of many over the past couple decades and it definitely won’t be the last.

What that means to us at Life By Design For Chiropractors, is that lessons can be learned from these articles…lessons that can help us design our practice approach in ways that deliver the impeccable level of care we imagine and keep us from risky behaviour all at the same time.

These are not mutually exclusive ideas.

Many chiropractors think that to see enough new patients we need to litter social media with ads and offers for low price examinations or other hooks to lure potential prospects close enough to snatch them up!

On one hand proponents would say “but they work!” and while I’d agree, I would also add in the caveat… “but at what expense?”

Is a stream of new prospects worth the risk of losing your license? Your reputation?

In this episode of Life By Design For Chiropractors we explore the article’s tenants and tease out which are completely false and which ones we could actually learn a thing or two about in order to protect us in the future. Read More

It’s rare to find someone that has worked their tail off (even when doing just about everything else incorrectly) for an extended period of time and not had some level of measurable success.

Hard work is very often THE missing ingredient and in the absence of knowing what to do, can be a replacement until the proper knowledge base is developed.

Now, imagine if you worked ridiculously hard and nailed every requirement for success as well?

That would be the ultimate success formula for every single area of life…

(Time + Consistent Action) to the power of Correct Principles = Extraordinary Results.

As a chiropractor we’re told a successful practice comes down to “telling the story” and “delivering the goods”.

“You too can soon work 1 day and have 500 visit per week practice with only 8 hours.”

What is not often promoted is the incredible amount of effort it takes to truly excel.

The jump from good to great is massive; the gap between great to extraordinary is monumental.

Hmm, that sounds like a lot of work. LOL.

In a profession where good is almost always good enough to not worry about money or other stresses that plague most others, you’re left with a decision…

What does success look like for you?

Is it just getting by or is it leaving a massive impact?

In today’s episode of Life By Design For Chiropractors, we share our raw, unedited opinions about the work volume it takes to reach the peak.

I’m not sure there could be a more important topic than the one covered on this episode.

It’s the NUMBER ONE character trait I personally see in successful people that is missing in those who struggle.

I’m not just talking about Chiropractors…I’m talking about ALL PEOPLE.

My suggestion is to listen closely to this episode, and if you’ve realized you’re deficient, and take immediate action to start building this trait.

What trait am I pointing out?

Integrity… aka doing what you say you’re going to do!

More specifically carrying out the appropriate action steps with regards to your own lifestyle blueprint.

If you have big plans for your practice and hopefully your life, you know a healthy lifestyle…fuel, training, fitness, sleep, etc. all MUST play a central role in giving you the physical and mental resources for success.

Are you consistently meeting all your requirements? If not, why not?

What is holding you back?

The great news is after 15 years of entrepreneurship I’ve faced many of my own challenges in successfully implementing a blueprint that works and I’ve also brought on a guest who has done the same…

On today’s episode of Life By Design For Chiropractors, myself and Dr. Mike Gibson share our strategies and tactics to help you solve this BIG problem and start living it to lead it. Read More

Thank you very much for all the amazing and positive feedback for The Life By Design For Chiropractors Podcast.

It’s been an overwhelming and rewarding experience as well a wonderful opportunity to share our best content with you.

That said, one of the questions we receive from time to time is “what about us?”

That “us” is women.

The challenges, struggles and difficulties that women face in chiropractic practice are unique and, since I’m not a woman, I will never fully appreciate or have direct experience in solving.

The good news is right here at Life By Design, we have an extraordinary woman!

Our guest today is Life By Design Director, Dr. Rachelle Jug.

Since the birth of her two beautiful boys Ari and Vedran, Rachelle had decided her top priority was spending as much time as possible with them.

Once Ari was 3 and Vedran 1, she began to consider stepping back in to practice.

The decision was a difficult one, but it’s turned out to be incredible!
