It’s easy to think that success comes from one big push, a magic moment, a killer strategy. But that’s not how greatness works. Not in business, and definitely not in a chiropractic practice. The Flywheel effect, popularized by Jim Collins, shows us that true transformation is the result of consistent, incremental effort. It’s about pushing, turning, building momentum—slowly at first, then faster and faster—until your practice practically runs on its own energy. What’s the key? Focus on people ,...

In this episode, Martin breaks down a simple but powerful idea: how the first and last moments of any interaction shape everything that happens in between. It’s the primacy and recency bias at work.

Imagine structuring every client visit to make the strongest connection at the beginning and leave them with a lasting sense of the value of chiropractic care at the ...
