Great to be with other Chiropractors!!!

I just returned from teaching the 7th chiropractor Boot Camp Seminar with Dr. Ron Farabaugh. I had the best time!! It is so good to be with other chiropractors from across the state of Ohio. We had over 115 attend the seminar in Columbus on Thursday and over 80 attend the seminar in Canton on Saturday. I really enjoy teaching and presenting new and exciting ideas that will help more people have the opportunity to be helped by another chiropractor.

I have also discovered that I am apparently fast becoming known as technical guru type chiropractor. Or something like that. I am not sure but I have always enjoyed working with computers to see just how they can make my life easier. I want to have more of an opportunity to share what I have learned with other chiropractors as well as my patients.

Cathy, My office manager and I are writing a program that will make educating patients more streamlined and efficient. We are thinking of an idea that will create a patient education program to help patients do the things that we recommend to them to do and integrate home care with their appointments in the office here.

The idea keeps growing.....

Looking at the past.

Very interesting last few days. I have hired a new front desk person and we are preparing to train an orient her to the practice. The interesting thing is that I can see that this training process will be the easiest training time we have ever had. Over the years we have created written office policies and training videos for new staff to listen to so that understand how we do things here at the Sheely Chiropractic Clinic.

But this time, we are transferring all of our training videos on the server and will be playing them through a program that Cathy, my office manager wrote that has an easy to use interface for repeat training for staff.

Why am I talking about this? Because it is proven systems that make my life easier. I do not have to re-create the training system each time someone changes their employment with me. It is a successful system. It is something that will need to be checked once in a while instead of something that has to be created from the ground up every time we need it.

Maybe it is like how our cars work for us... we do not have to go out and create a new form of transportation each time we need to go some place. We already have a "system" sitting in our garage or driveway that is "proven". That is what I am talking about. Doing work that has value and stays around after it is done the first time. I need to continue to think of ways that I could only do the things that last and not the things that fade away. Hmmm .. sounds like a spiritual discussion.

Exciting Day Tomorrow

Tomorrow - Well Later today I have the incredible pleasure of teaching a license renewal seminar with Dr. Ron Farabaugh. We are in Clevaland. It is 1:30 in the morning and I an extremely excited about what is going to happen tomorrow. I can feel that this will be one of the best seminar we have ever done. I pray that i will be guided and directed to to EXACTLY what I am supposed to do.

The profit centers of our lives

Ok, so it takes me a while sometimes. I have understood the idea about creating profit centers within my practice for quite some time during the pursuit of a strong successful business. The idea being that one has to create several centers within the business that profit and can stand on their own within the business. It works of course as all successful business people know - you have to treat each area as a separate business and have a profit and loss statement for each area.

The same concept applies to the other parts of our lives besides our work or careers. Profit centers in family, social, financial, spiritual, mental, and physical as well as the career area need to be looked at this way. How different would we look at our family life if we created "profit centers" within the family and created systems that would make these areas be profitable and produce "Great Products" and cause them to be exchanged to the "Great products" that others in the family produce. I know it sound a little odd - but for someone like me that looks at everything like a business - it makes sense.

All of these areas need to be profitable in the way that they were intended to be profitable. The profit for family life would be harmony, love, companionship, happiness, pleasure, etc... you know all of the things that all of us want within our families.

The only way for this to work is to analyze each area and find out what the end profits for each area should be and make a plan to produce those in each. Building systems and communication structures to make successful "business" venture occur in each area is an interesting challenge.

I will let you know my progress. What do you think about it?
