You’ve done the tests…

Myers-Brigg, DISC and many others.

You know your personality type, you know your IQ and you’ve even started using them in your hiring process or team development.

It’s wonderful to have detailed information about yourself, your team or a position you’d love to fill, BUT do you know the one piece of information that could be the missing link to successfully applying the data you’ve harvested?

How someone takes action is a primary determinant in achieving desired outcomes.

Even the most intelligent, driven team member could be restricted if their tasks don’t match well with how they naturally get $%&T done.

Just think of all the times you’ve tried to launch or complete a project and found it painfully difficult or worse, impossible to gain traction. Maybe it wasn’t you? Or at least not you in anyway you could modify or change.

The Kolbe A Index is a powerful test that streamlines the process of identifying how people take action.

On today’s episode of Life By Design For Chiropractors, we interview David Kolbe, CEO of Kolbe Corp. to discuss the benefits of the Kolbe Index for the practicing Chiropractor and their business.

Of course, new patients are important and are the lifeblood of the practice and yes, practice volume is a key stat… (assuming everyone is paying which isn’t a guarantee in chiropractic) but there’s much more to keeping your finger on the pulse of your business.

In this episode we map out the information you need to be pulling from your practice in order to know if it’s successful and trending towards more or if you’re failing and falling further in the wrong direction.

It’s commonplace in a business setting (especially a small business and specifically a chiropractic business) to mistakenly train your team while minimizing or avoiding the necessity to train yourself.

Contrast this with athletes at nearly all levels but most certainly at the professional level who train on a daily basis, constantly pushing themselves to get better and better.

While team training is a fundamental component of success, if you yourself are not training you will not improve, you risk being being surpassed by your competition, and you cannot contribute your maximum effort to your team.

There are endless benefits to building your own personal training curriculum.

Regular and consistent chiropractic training will make you more competitive, increase your competency and make you more efficient so you can confidently claim that you are the best at what you do.

In this episode we discuss why you need to train yourself, how do make sure it happens and what you should be training on.

While the final two months of the year are a wonderful time for strategic planning, they are especially perfect for planning the marketing segment of your business.

Most small businesses practice reactive marketing…when customers are dwindling, they institute an uptick to their marketing campaigns and launch recycled tactics to grab a few new clients to keep the machine churning.

It can work, in fact it’s how most chiropractic practices generate new business. The problem is that “working” is far from optimal.

Without a marketing strategy and blueprint you’re leaving massive impact and profits on the table, not to mention significantly increasing your stress and frustration.

The solution is a well thought out Marketing Blueprint and a plan to start taking action. Read More
