Why isn’t my practice growing?

I’m doing all the right things. I’m working out, I’m getting up at 5am, I stopped caffeine or stopped drinking alcohol…

I see this a lot within the profession as a whole. The idea is you want to be a better, healthier person. You want to be a good example for your patients, you want to feel great, have more energy. If you do this, you’ll be a better practitioner. If you do these things, your practice will follow and also be healthier.

But then your practice doesn’t grow.

Having healthy routines, while good for you, means absolutely nothing for your practice.

The only thing that helps your practice is actually working in, and on, your practice. Your practice doesn’t care if you met a PR in CrossFit. It doesn’t care if you can do splits, hand-stands, back flips, or if you eat clean.

In fact, oftentimes these things are another distraction and a way to avoid working on your actual practice.

There are many broke “healthy” people.

Health and wealth is an overall measurement of your life. Not a single stat.

So you quit alcohol? Got off caffeine? Started doing enemas? Meditate for 2 hours?

Great! Your practice doesn’t care.

OF COURSE you want of be healthy and feel great. But my point is…is your practice?

And are you doing more for your health as a distraction or because you’re avoiding something else?

It’s all about balance. And not making a mountain out of a mole hill. Simply do that food drive in your clinic. Reach out to local media. Do that talk. Have that in-house event. Call your local rotary. Find the health fairs. Hand your patients business cards and tell them to refer people. Follow up with patients that fell off your schedule. Be a part of your community, not just another business within it.

There aren’t secrets. It’s just hustle.

Awesome first day back at clinic. Got to use many of the techniques from over the weekend with emphasis on finishing with body work. Everyone had improvement today but the bodywork on top especially with pin and stretch serratus area really opened up people.
