Several years ago, I wrote an essay dealing with the doubts I was having about my doubts. I realized then that most of the things I had previously doubted had become tangible parts of my belief system. I realized, too, that my faith in chiropractic principles had allowed me to overcome those doubts.
I heard a speaker last week at Life Source talking about a prayer he says in the morning. He asks God to send him all the people he can help. It struck me and I’ve been thinking about the simplicity of the request ever since. I tend to make things complicated and that little prayer is so simple. I am here to serve. I am here to help. I have often asked God to keep me busy while I am in the office. More than I ask for a number of patients I ask God to have me stay in the game. I want to be interacting. When there are no patients in the office I feel like God is giving me a time out. I want to be in the game. I want to feel like I’m being used to my capacity.
Dear Colleagues and Friends, Step number 20 to hundred a day (Always look, dress, and act successful) is actually advanced success principle #10. It surprises me how difficult it is to get doctors to do this one. Have you ever noticed someone walking into a restaurant and everyone is checking this person out. This person looks and acts like a “Winner.”
I was checking my luggage in curb side a little while ago before I got on the plane home from Atlanta, Georgia. The gentleman who was helping me was especially friendly and seemed efficient. I handed him a tip and he stopped and stared at me for a second. Then I said thanks and was about to walk away and he was still looking in my eyes. I smiled and looked away and he then said that he never got a tip from a doctor before.
How do you get the patients through the door after you open the door? That is the question. I could write volumes on it yet here are some quick ideas to get you started.
