For those of you who think Facebook is going to go away, I’m not so sure.  They are big with over 5 million users worldwide, and want to be bigger. They want to give Google a run for it.

By now, I hope you’ve realized the power of Facebook for your chiropractic practice and you have a Personal Profile (that you may or may not use for your close family and friends) and a Facebook Page for your chiropractic practice.  It can be a great way to build your chiropractic community, spread health and wellness messages to your patient base, promote both internal and external office events and really lead a TRIBE of people in your community!  If done correctly, it could also be used to showcase your office and be a way to draw new people into your office.  Want to know how to do it?  See our Wellness Marketing package for more!

Now released on Facebook is Facebook Places.  It is an iphone application (or touch.facebook.com) that allows you to add your chiropractic practice as a Facebook Place (good for search engine optimization).  AND the best part about it is to have your patients ‘check in’ with their friends while they are in your office, spreading the word and buzz about your office to their friends!  We’d suggest hyping it up for a few weeks and getting your patients with smartphones to ‘check in’ while they are in your reception area.  For more on how to set this up see:

Are you living the life of your dreams, as a chiropractor and personally?  If not, why not? Many people I speak with, as a chiropractic coach, who are not having the success they desire in their practice or personal life and I want to help you live the life of your dreams:

1. Know what the life of your dreams looks like. Imagine it, visualize it.  If we don’t know what the end is, how will we ever know we got there? Without knowing our vision, we are always unsatisfied.

2. What is your life about? As a human being and as a chiropractor? Write a mission statement that is clear and concise. Your mission outlines how will you achieve your vision. When we coach chiropractors to build a Dream Team with their CA’s, we ask that they read the mission together before each day.  We must keep the big perspective and the ‘why’ we do what we do in the forefront of our minds to not get caught in the mundane details of life and practice.

3. What do you stand for? What are your core values?  For yourself personally and for your chiropractic practice.  These are the foundations that you measure every decision against. If it’s aligned with your values, consider it. If it’s not, move on, even if it’s a good deal.

4. What is success to you?  What are the categories of success for you personally and your practice?  Discover these categories (hint: it’s not just financial wealth) and then grade yourself where you are today on a scale of 1-10. Then decide what ONE thing you need to do to move you more towards a 10 in each category.  Categories could include: Personal Fulfillment, Health, Finances, Practice, Lifestyle, and Family, for example.

5. Get organized and focused on what’s important!  Many people have great ideas and no organization to execute. Be diligent about managing yourself (notice I didn’t say your time) and each day work on what is most important or what will have the greatest impact on your life.  Move away from distractions and ADHD tendencies of a high-tech, high-noise world.

6. Take consistent action. Knowing what you want is one thing. The next is to actually create movement and action towards it. Craziness comes from doing the same thing and expecting different results. So do something different and take action!
