Have you ever wondered how can some people be so ridiculously productive?

It’s seems nearly impossible that they can accomplish all they do in such short time frames and still be happy, energized and excited to tackle more.

That was until I met Dr. Mike Gibson.

In the beginning I thought he was more alien than entrepreneur but once he revealed his secret ways and took me under his wing like a young Padawan…it all became clear.

It wasn’t a trick, there were no smoke and mirrors. In fact, I was kind of sad it was a simple system built on principles and habits that when applied consistently, yielded NASA level results.

It was sad for me because I realized Mike didn’t have special powers and my lack of success in the realm of productivity was, well, my own darn fault.

Fast forward 5 years later and I’m happy to say that more than any other area of growth, focusing on my productivity has, without exaggeration, revolutionized my life.

This includes more profitability, happiness and impact.

On today’s episode of Life By Design For Chiropractors, Mike and I cover our top 10 productivity habits. Read More

Are you considering reducing your practice hours to enhance your life enjoyment, personal free time, or to spend more of those precious moments with your family?

One likely concern may be that working less will mean earning less and that’s just not something you want or you can’t have, given your current expenses.

How do we solve this dilemma?

Is working 60 hours a week in practice and on your business the only solution?

Ask Dr. Rachelle Vanderheyden-Jug.

Rachelle is a LBD Director, a mom, a wife and a chiropractor.

Over the past year she’s dramatically changed her model and approach to practice and the results have been, well…, exceptional!

On this episode of Life By Design For Chiropractors I interview Rachelle about the challenges and solutions to maximizing profits during her switch into part-time practice. Read More

No one is going to debate whether having a great team is important to your success…

Heck, we believe it’s one of the 4 requirements for a successful practice (along with systems, communication and leadership).

What happens when you think everything is in place and you can just let one of the requirements, like team, take a backseat?

It’s the same thing that happens when fitness, fuel or the brain-body connection doesn’t get fulfilled…you fail.

In one case it’s your health and performance that will suffer, in the other it’s your practice and business that will begin to fall apart.

That’s what started to happen when I shifted my attention elsewhere without ensuring this key requirement was being nurtured. Lesson learned!

On this episode I share my story about the past 6 months at The Life By Design Centre during which we changed 6 of 16 team members and took a deep introspective look at our hiring, on-boarding and training systems.

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
