Do you dream of a steady, predictable income that allows you to focus on what you love – helping people? Many practitioners get stuck in the cycle of fluctuating income. Some months are good and others aren’t. 😐If the sole source of your revenue is reliant on insurance reimbursements, one-off visits and consultations, or a basic fee for service model, you might be missing out on a golden opportunity. In this episode, I’m talking about an important aspect of building a sustainable business model...

We’re diving into one of those head-scratching moments we all face: What do you do when you don't know what to do? 🤯 Imagine a patient walks in with a random condition you’ve never heard of.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, trying to manage patient appointments, keeping track of their progress, and ensuring they have all the essential documents they need? 🗃️ This is a common complaint from health practitioners - one that keeps you up at night, wondering what the best solution would be. Having to constantly keep track of all the details while running a business can leave you feeling exhausted and frustrated. But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. 😉 Imagine what it would be like to have...

Finding a good book to read is like balm for the soul. The words on the page seem to symbolically offer themselves up as a way to prompt us to become better humans, better parents, learn a new skill, or simply consider a new perspective. The words we read (or hear) provide valuable information that slowly shapes us into being the next better version of ourselves which is always a good thing. I’m always so thankful when a book seems to ‘jump off the shelf’ and tug at my soul, indicating there are...

Do you find that you have more supplements in your cupboard or on the shelves in your office than you can reasonably use? Or even worse, bottles that have long since expired? 💊 Managing your inventory of supplements or other retail products can be challenging at best. We get excited about a certain supplement, ordering more than we need and then promptly forget how to use it. It languishes on the shelf, slowly moving toward its untimely expiration date until we have to give it away or throw it ...

Do you find it challenging to figure out what to write or post about that will really resonate with your patients? It’s difficult to pinpoint the precise questions your patients are asking relating to their health condition. But this is important information to have! 🔍 We end up guessing what we ‘think’ they’re thinking… 🤔and many times, we miss the mark. You spend time writing an email, creating a free resource, video training or a social post, only to have it fall flat. The only sound you he...

If you've ever felt lost when it comes to communicating your treatment plan with a new patient, you’re not alone. Even though you already have a good idea about what needs to happen to help them feel better, the patient often feels overwhelmed with the whole thing. This leads to confusion, loss of motivation to continue, and missed opportunities to really help. That’s why we’re talking about how to create a unique 3-step proprietary process that allows the patient to get excited about their heal...

Have you ever had a question about something that you were just too hesitant to ask? Depending on the situation, asking can feel slightly awkward so we often just avoid it all together. And it’s no different with your prospective patients. They often have questions rolling around in their mind yet don’t feel comfortable enough to come right out and ask them. So how can we make it easier for them to get their questions answered before they even ask them? The more you know about your ideal patient...

Today, we're diving headfirst into a topic that might make some of you a little nervous…. how to effectively network with others as a way to grow your practice. And yes, there’s a right way and a wrong way to do it. But when you get it right, you will have more new leads than you know what to do with! 🔥 It’s true that proper networking can be one of the most powerful marketing tools to build your practice.

Over time, we end up accumulating random questionnaires, surveys, and evaluations to include as part of our new patient intake process. And while each one provides another perspective on what might be going on, this isn’t the best experience for your patient who is already overwhelmed and in need of your help. Having to think through and complete each intake form may feel ‘comprehensive’ to you but to the patient, it’s overkill. Not to mention the time it takes for you to review all of them and ...

Sometimes, we just miss the mark. The best laid plans just didn’t work out the way you thought and now, you need to figure out how to do it differently. This process is what I like to call a Do Over Day. 🎯 A 'Do Over Day' gives you the opportunity to build something even better when the gears of your business seem to be grinding against each other. It's like a strategic pause, allowing you to step back, assess, and recalibrate your approach. Think of it as a reset button, but with a structured ...

Let’s say you are a chiropractor and a patient comes in for a routine adjustment. But during that appointment, they conveniently ask if you can quickly muscle test a certain supplement or review their labs and make a few suggestions before they go see their primary doctor. Combining these two things rarely works out well. The patient doesn’t get the focused attention they need and you, the practitioner, aren’t able to provide the best care possible because your brain is effectively focused on tw...

As a practitioner who also chooses to be a business owner, I am positive that most of the time, you’re struggling to balance your professional life with personal responsibilities. ⚖️ Trying to balance both is like the spinning plates game at a carnival – it can be a real challenge! 🤹 It's not just about squeezing in some downtime; it's about keeping your whole self happy and fulfilled. 🌿 With the demands of managing your patients and running a business, it's easy to lose sight of what you need...

Health savings accounts (HSA’s) have been around for years and offer people a way to set aside funds for qualified medical expenses and decrease their tax burden. Not everyone qualifies for an HSA but if you do, it can be an easy way for you (or your patients) to help save for health expenses. And, these HSA’s can provide huge benefits for you, your patients, and for your business! Personally, I’ve had an HSA for many years, and I love it. Not only does it lower my taxable income at the end of t...

Ever felt like you're stuck doing one-off treatments with your patients and after just a few appointments, they simply bail on you? Unfortunately, this scenario is becoming all too common but there’s a simple solution that will solve this problem once and for all: having your own unique proprietary process! By developing a proprietary process that highlights your area of expertise, you can create a practice where patients know up front what it’s going to take to get better - and they’ll stay til...

Sending regular emails to your patients is an important part of what you do as a practitioner and a business owner. Why? Well, it lets your audience know that you’re around to help, and keeps your name (and smiling face) at the top of their minds. 🤩 But if you're like most practitioners, the mere thought of having to figure out how to write and send these types of emails makes you roll your eyes. 🙄 I get it – writing emails might not be your favorite thing, but here's the deal: neglecting this...

Have you ever felt like you answered the same questions over and over throughout the day? Well, if so, I’ve got great news for you. I’m about to show you how you can create a library of resources for your patients that answers all of their commonly asked questions, and doesn’t require you to be involved! Your patient resource library can contain many different types of resources, but my favorite (and most effective) way is to create a series of videos that answer their most common questions, pro...

When you’re talking with a potential new patient, what does that conversation look like? Are you giving them answers that come from a place of “need” (as in you really want them to say yes to working with you) or is your conversation more about determining whether they will be a good fit in your culture and practice? The truth is, you don’t have to take every potential new patient that comes your way. When you have that first meeting or initial conversation, this is when you come to the fork in ...

Ever felt overwhelmed or frustrated when it comes to managing your business finances? Keeping an ever watchful eye on those darn expenses + focusing on bringing in more revenue is a never ending situation. 💸 If that sounds like you, no worries.

Apart from the physical aspects of patients battling with fertility, the most important way to support patients who are trying to conceive could be their emotional state and mindset. It’s well known that a woman’s fertility can be impacted by what she eats, her good (and bad) habits, and her overall health. But a significant aspect of her physical state that’s not often addressed is her emotional well-being. What’s going on inside her brain is a vital part of her fertility journey, and when prop...

These year-end rituals help to prepare us for an even more phenomenal year ahead as we learn from our wins and our challenges. So, if you feel like another year went by where you set ambitious goals and fell way short (it happens to the best of us!), I’d encourage you to pull up a chair for this short exercise.

Ever wondered if there's a better, less stressful way for your patients to keep an eye on their breast health rather than the traditional mammogram routine? 🤔 Mammography is thought to be the gold standard for evaluating breast health but unfortunately, there’s a dark side that the medical authorities are not talking about. The reality is that many mammograms result in misdiagnosis which leads to increased anxiety and other health consequences down the road. It is well known that the more mammo...

What if I told you there's an all-natural product out there that can add a significant amount of revenue to your practice AND would provide almost instant pain wherever it’s needed? Doesn’t sound like the two would go together, but they do. Most patients are experiencing some type of pain. Whether it’s joint pain, abdominal pain/discomfort, muscle pain, the list goes on. In a world saturated with products that make the ‘promise’ of quick pain relief, many of them don’t deliver. But the brand-new...

Does the idea of talking about business finances trigger your fight-or-flight response? I totally get it. 😳 Many practitioners often shy away from the financial side of their practice. And hey, who can blame you? Accounting and business management weren’t likely part of your curriculum. However, avoiding your books is one of the worst things you can do. 💢I mean aren’t we always telling patients that we want to get to find out what’s driving their current health condition? And that’s the same c...
