Chiropractic Marketing: The Two Words That Could Prevent You From Having A Successful Chiropractic Practice!

Ya know, in the years that I've been guiding and coaching chiropractors, I've discovered something funny about what separates the successful doctors from the struggling, frustrated doctors.

Not funny ha-ha, but funny in that it's not what you would think.

What I'm trying to say is that what I've found to determine whether a chiropractor will be successful or not is very different from what you would think would determine success (or lack of).

You see, most new chiropractors think the ability to correct a subluxation or in-depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology is what separates the successful from the unsuccessful.

Some doctors would say that the knowledge and ability to attract and keep chiropractic patients is what separates the successful from the unsuccessful.

And, even though effective chiropractic marketing ability is much, much more important than technical skill, that's still not the ultimate thing I've found to determine whether a chiropractor will be a success or not.

Want to know what that ultimate success predictor is?

Good. I'll tell you.

It's ATTITUDE.

But, I'm not talking attitude in the sense of always being an upbeat, happy-go-lucky person who's always smiling and chipper.

That's not what I mean.

When I say that attitude is what will ultimately determine whether you're a successful chiropractor or not, what I'm talking about is how you respond to new chiropractic marketing ideas.

In a nutshell:

A chiropractor that comes across a new and different chiropractic marketing technique or idea, and immediately goes into brainstorming mode to figure out how he or she can implement and test it out, that chiropractor has the right attitude for success.

A chiropractor that comes across a new chiropractic marketing idea or technique and immediately comes up with all the reasons and excuses why it won't work for them, that doctor has the absolute wrong attitude, and is destined for a long and painful journey in the chiropractic profession.

I've seen it time and time again.

One doctor has an open mind.

One; closed.

So, wondering what the heck all this talk about attitude has to do with those two words I mentioned earlier?

They have *everything* to do with attitude.

You see... the doctors who have the wrong attitude always respond to a new idea or technique by first saying, "Yeah, but...".

They learn about a new chiropractic marketing approach and immediately start with...

"Yeah, but... I just started doing chiropractic."

Or

"Yeah, but... I live in a really small town."

Or

"Yeah, but... I don't have any money to spend on chiropractic marketing."

Or

"Yeah, but... I don't really like the chiropractic marketing part of being a chiropractor."

Or... well... you get the point.

The "Yeah, but..." is always followed with some reason (or excuse) for why the new chiropractic marketing idea or technique won't work for them.

The "Yeah, but..." is just another way of saying, "I can't do that because..."

And here's the reason why using those two words is such a detrimental thing to your success as a chiropractor:

The moment you say "Yeah, but...", or anything like it, is the moment you've relinquished control of your practice (and your life) over to your circumstance, environment, etc.

And... to put it bluntly.... the moment you begin making excuses for why you can't do or achieve something with your chiropractic practice, you immediately begin going down the path to failure.

It's important that you always maintain an open mind.

Be willing to give new chiropractic marketing methods a chance.

Be willing to admit there may be a better way of doing things with your chiropractic marketing than the way you're doing them right now.

And most important...

When faced with a new chiropractic marketing idea, technique, or method, always ask yourself HOW you can use it.

Not IF you can use it.

Apply this type of attitude to all the new chiropractic marketing ideas you come across in the next 90 days and you'll be shocked at how much progress and improvement you'll make to your practice.
