Strategic planning for your practice is easily the most overlooked component of future practice development.

Most docs we cross paths with dream up their vision when they start practice and yet only revisit it very briefly after an annual “spizzing” at their favourite chiropractic seminar.

That’s not going to cut it… At least not if you’re serious about being successful and seeing your vision become a reality.

If you want to reach your practice goals, you must systematically determine your needs, projects and the daily action steps that will move you incrementally closer to your vision.

You need to enroll your team into the vision and assign actions that will get the most of out your A+ players.

You need to stay on course and not fall prey to the trap of busyness that is keeping you from your dream.

You need somewhere (and not a bunch of sticky notes!) to keep all of this information organized and at your fingertips.

How many times have you heard someone say “The time is now!” or “There’s no better time for chiropractic than right now!”

More than enough right? It’s a common mantra at most seminars and I believe it’s actually TRUE but not because of chiropractic.

Let me explain what I mean and why it’s important…

You can call me a pessimist, you can disagree with me or maybe just call me a realist…. but IMO, this profession is 0% better than it was 25 years ago.

There are a handful of aspects that have improved and just as many that have regressed or totally collapsed.

For all of that time our “leaders” have told us “serve chiropractic and everything will be fine”…..”chiropractic needs you”….

Where has it gotten us? All of the effort, the investment, the campaigns, the attention, the focus that has gone into making “chiropractic” better and the end result…neutral….at best.

Apple didn’t leave it’s mark because Steve Jobs wanted to “save” the tech world. The side effect of global impact came from the relentless pursuit of his values…one of which was his company.

This has lead me to make 2 conclusions.

1. Stop trying to save chiropractic. It doesn’t work.

2. It’s a great time for chiropractic because it’s a great time for just about any entrepreneurial pursuit.

Enjoy! Read More
