Mediocrity vs. Mastery

It’s easy to be mediocre. A mediocre person, a mediocre mother, a mediocre friend, and certainly it is easy to be a mediocre chiropractor. Look around, most everyone is doing it. Mastery however is difficult. Mastery takes hard work, dedication and keeping a big vision in the forefront of your mind and the stamina to follow through. To be an overnight success takes 10,000 hours of work. It means you have to push through The Dip.
What does it take to be a master in the art, science, and philosophy of chiropractic? Even more importantly is what does it take to be a master of communication about our truth of health, healing and chiropractic? As a start you need to understand personality types and communicaiton/behavioural styles of people. You need to LAASR your Visit 1, Visit 2, Daily Interactions, ReAssessments & ReReports communication to lead people forward.
Do you know what the common denominator of all successful chiropractic practices have? Chiropractors with certainty. They are clear on their vision and how they are going to achieve it. They know what they bring to the table. And they speak their truth boldly and in a way that people can hear them.
Are you the best chiropractor you can be? Are you communicating chiropractic to the people in your office and community so that they ‘get it’? Can you turn people on to a healthy lifestyle that includes chiropractic care for them and their families for a lifetime? Write down what having mastery in your chiropractic career would look like. Then write down the things that would need to change or improve to get there. What support do you need? A coach? A consultant? Practice management tips? An action plan? Accountability?
Most people get successful ‘enough’ and help ‘enough’ people. They hit a plateau and get comfortable. Are you pushing yourself towards mastery? It’s your life. It’s your practice. You get to choose. Let us know if we can help. There are too many people sick and dying in your community because they don’t know what you know.
