Go the Extra Mile – Part Two
We’re delving into going the extra mile. No, not running a marathon, but how can you make a difference in the lives you touch? How can you make a memorable difference? How can you make a mark on a life that will put things in motion to make a positive memorable mark on another life? Picking up where we left off last time ~ we’re now going to take a look at scenario number two and see how the outcomes could change if handled differently.

Go the Extra Mile – Part One
Ever see the movie “Pay it forward”? It’s got one of the best messages I’ve seen in a movie. In a nutshell, do something nice for someone and they will do something nice for someone else ~ and so on, and so on. You could change the world. How many times has someone done something or said something that you appreciated, but you did nothing about it? This is an important message, but how does this affect your practice?
Well, let’s look into this a bit. How DOES this affect your practice? I like scenarios, so here we go!

What’s your reality?
Oddly enough, I’ve encountered two situations in the past week to put a fire under my butt so to speak and I want to see if it does the same for you.
One was a three year old child where the pediatrician discussed putting tubes in the ears. She has frequent colds and ear infections with antibiotics prescribed each time.
How is it that the mother sees a DC herself, yet that doctor never mentioned checking the child? When the mother asked if she could have her child checked, the DC told her she does not see children and did not give a referral for a DC that did see children.
Another was a child with bedwetting problems……….for the past 9 years. The mother was told that it was a hereditary condition and the child needs to be on medication for it. By the way, the family members who had a similar condition that made this “hereditary” were a cousin and an uncle.

Strength in numbers.
Getting back to Cottrell, your next choice is on relationships. Are you the type of person that has successful people around you, or are you on an island by yourself? Cottrell says “no one can achieve long term success working alone”. Don’t you think this is especially true with chiropractors in a field that is constantly under attack? Have you heard about the proposed CCE changes? Have you heard about the problems in Texas? It’s time to come out from under your rock. Wake up & smell the coffee!

The chameleon chiropractor?
When I went to Life College, Dr. Sid has us memorize the definition of a subluxation word for word. The philosophy of chiropractic was what we lived.
It’s unbelievable to look at the bumpy road our profession has taken since the beginning. How many beatings will we take? What will it take to motivate our colleagues join together to preserve the foundation our profession was founded on? Or is it that we’re so complacent that we no longer care what happens to chiropractic? Are we going to turn into chameleons that blend in with the rest of the “doctors”? Will we no longer be separate and distinct? Is our fate that of the osteopath? Will we disappear all together?

Adversity ~ are you a conqueror?
Getting back to Cottrell’s Monday Morning Choices, this week is on adversity. How do you handle a crisis? Do you face it head on and do whatever is necessary to succeed and make it through? Or do you cower back and curl up in a dark corner in the fetal position until it passes?

Does your attitude need an adjustment?
Are you a glass half empty or glass half full type of person? I discussed this some in my blog on perspective. This needs to be revisited as it is one of Cottrell’s choices and also something we need to hear repeatedly.
I just watched Creflo Dollar the other night & he was talking about having a spirit of fear. This is not just fear itself, but also includes doubt. He says that fear or doubt paralyzes faith and faith paralyzes fear. So, if you pray as a result of having fear or doubt that your practice will not survive, your prayers will not be heard. If you have confidence in the Word of God and stand on that truth, HE will supply all your needs and there will be no room for fear/doubt. As a result, your prayers will be heard.

Do you live in a dream world?
This week’s choice is about dreaming vs. doing. Are you the type of person that says “I’ll be happy when….”, you move to the bigger house in the bigger neighborhood, when your kids get into the private school, when you hire an associate, when you open your satellite clinic. When does it end? I’m not talking about goals, but when you base your happiness on your achievements, yet you never reach the carrot dangled in front of your face.

Committed to Chiropractic?
Well, did you miss me? I apologize for missing last week but life “happens” to even me! And yes, I know it’s a Tuesday and it’s the afternoon for that matter. I’ll get better!
I’m going to pick up where I left off w/ Cottrell. Choice # 2 is The Committment Choice…..be passionate enough to succeed.
When you first graduated from chiropractic school, you were on fire. Your commitment level was 110% to make your community healthy and have a $40k per month practice. You did whatever it took to grow your practice. But a few years later, something changed. What happened? The fire fizzled. You’re content at twenty.
