I just returned from a few days in Costa Mesa CA.\u00a0 I attended CalJam, a chiropractic philosophy\/music convention, with Ed Petty from PM&A.\u00a0\u00a0 It was refreshingly different because of the focus on chiropractic’s unique philosophy combined with music.<\/p>\n

The man behind it all is Dr. Billy DeMoss and his fun-loving personality really shows in the event. Check out my video of BJ Palmer resurrected<\/a>.\u00a0 [Longer Version]<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, I had to give Ed a lesson about why I’m called the “down-to-earth” doctor (www.thedowntoearthdoctor.com),<\/a> a big part of it is going on adventures, so I took him on a high desert search for a natural hot spring called Deep Creek Spring. Yes, those are my feet in the picture.\u00a0 Ed reciprocated by guiding me on a motorcycle tour one of the days – I drove my first Harley and now I’m hooked!\u00a0 Thanks Ed.<\/p>\n

As I listened to many of the greats like Dr Dan Murphy, Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, etc. I became even more grateful for the 25 years of tremendous success I’ve had in chiropractic. “Best profession in the world!” is what I told a 2nd semester student I bumped into there.\u00a0 He was wondering if he made the right decision, given all the negative news circulating about the business of practicing lately.<\/p>\n

The speakers were talented and the content inspiring, but it also became apparent to me, that the seminars of PM&A are better in the sense that they lack sales. What I mean is that all or most of the speakers at CalJam, as inspiring and fun as they are to listen to, have a hidden agenda – they want to sell me something. That’s one of several reasons why I stayed with PM&A as my practice management guide, and why I’m excited to now be a part of their team.<\/p>\n

I teach a class around the country called Reclaim the Joy of Practice,<\/span> based on my book of the same name (www.reclaimthejoy.com) for content, I’m always on the lookout for exceptional DCs.\u00a0 I bumped in to Dr. Gerald Clum, president of Life West Chiropractic College.<\/p>\n

Listen to his brief message in response to my question “What can chiropractors do to be more successful?”\u00a0 LINK<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Doctor, how can you apply that message today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
