It has been a good summer. The crops are coming in.
Growing a practice and developing a business is much like farming. It takes nurturing, care, and just the right about of help at the right time. A plant can seem to be dormant while underground its roots are growing and getting strong. Sometimes practice improvement seems to occur slowly even though we may be working hard. It could be that that you are just developing the “root” system before your practice is more productive.
Your practice follows natural laws – it has its own innate life force.
Just like a zucchini does.
You have to trust in your own goodness as you do in the power that made you and gave life to your patients. That Power — it also runs through your office and eavesdrops on your thoughts and intentions.
You have to smile about the truly awesome benefits your patients and you receive with chiropractic, which we all too often overlook.
It’s not about insurance or money or policies and procedures or schedules or management or marketing or meetings – which we all can use at the right time to the right degree. In the end it’s about the help we provide and that help should not be separated from the love in which it is given or the joy that it produces.
There is truly a lot to celebrate.
It’s a good procedure to look for and have many celebrations with your patients and those you are close to. Don’t be shy about it.
Keep nurturing your practice and it will continue to produce happy patients.
