Self–Sabotage:
Self-Martyrdom
Your practice is beginning to show signs of prosperity and growth. All of your patients are seeing good response; referrals are coming in your office. Everyone is doing their jobs and the appearances of all things that pertain to the office are going according to plan. Finally you have turned the corner to developing the practice that you have always wanted, the dream practice. All of the sudden your chiropractic assistant tells you that the job is too hectic and wants to give you notice.
Confrontation in the Office
Why is confrontation so scary? Why do you put it off as long as possible? You may say to yourself, “I’m an adult. I’m educated, a successful professional, yet when I feel that I must confront a staff member or patient, I am filled with apprehension, anxiety, guilt, doubt, and maybe even anger.” These are natural responses to the prospect of confronting someone about a potentially negative issue.
The Close to the Patient Orientation
The close to your class comes after telling your own personal story or a story about a patient that you have had that responded well to care or made a miraculous recovery. I have been given the gift of health and I want to give that gift to as many people as I possibly can. For those of you that have come to the class tonight I want to give you the opportunity to give the gift of health to your family members, loved ones and friends.
Money Management
It is a fact of life that money makes the world go round. Though healing is our prime motivation for practicing Chiropractic, money is a necessity. If we could, we’d do it for free, but among other things, money is what keeps our clinics running allowing us to serve as many patients as possible to spread the healing powers of chiropractic throughout our communities.
