On August 28th, 1963 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered this famous speech. When I lived in Atlanta, GA to attend Life University, I spent many hours at the MLK Jr. Center, birth house, gravesite and church of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  I used to sit in the pews and listen to his recorded sermons that were broadcasting all day long.

I have always been inspired by this man who stood up for what he believed in.

My question for myself and others today, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, is what is your dream?  What inspires you?  How do you wish the world to be?

What will you do in 2012 to realize your dream?

Ask anyone on the street if they’ve ever heard of chiropractic.  Most of the people say, ‘yes’, while they grab their neck or low back.  When it comes to educating the public what it is that we really do, we’ve failed as a profession.

At Rosen Coaching we feel that the public needs to understand is that they have a health problem, not a back problem, and that you can help them get healthy and stay healthy for a lifetime!

My kick-in-the-groin question is, “Are you the epitome of health”?

Some of us are. We are in great physical shape, we do cardio and weight training regularly.  We have great nutrition. And fabulous strategies to deal with mental and emotional stress. We are well balanced in your overall life, showing up 100% in our practice and in your personal life.

But many of us aren’t.  We don’t exercise regularly and are overweight. Some by a lot, some by a little. We eat crappy food on a regular basis. We’re too stressed out, in fight-flight response for hours a day to think straight, let alone show up with focus and presence for the people we serve. How are we ever going to deliver a congruent Report of Findings where we talk about reaching optimal health and wellness, if we aren’t?

What are you going to commit to this year to lead by example, to be a true picture of health?  If you’d like to share your action steps to get there, to help get support and accountability, post them here.

2010 has come and gone and we’ve moved into the next decade.  Perhaps you achieved all your goals for 2010, or perhaps you didn’t.  But it’s time to set our sights on how we can make this our best year yet.  Let’s start the decade off with a blast, set good goals and take massive action to really make this your best year yet!

Start with your success!  What did you achieve, do great and accomplish this year, both personally and professionally?  Be sure to take inventory of small and big things!

What did you learn this year, from both your challenges and wins?  About yourself and your character?  What worked? What was your winning formula to reach those goals? What didn’t work? What won’t you repeat again?

Get clear on what you want to accomplish in each of the key areas of your life and practice by the end of 2011.  Set a 1 big goal for each sector of your life. Then set a few smaller goals in each area as desired.

The trick to achieving your goals is taking consistent action on the small steps required to reach the big goal!  Massive and repetitive action.  Reverse engineer the steps required to reach your goal. Plan them out month-by-month in sequential order, then break it down week by week. Each day, look at your weekly action steps and do THE most impactful thing that you can do each day to make your goal a reality.

We prefer to look at the goals for the next 90 days and clarify what is the most important, bang for the buck action that you can take to reach that goal.  Each person on your team needs to clarify what they can do to contribute to that goal.

As a New Year’s gift, we’ve included a link to a 30 minute recording on Goals and the New Year.  Please enjoy and let us know if we can help you have the practice of your dreams in 2011!

We invite you to join Dr. Rosen for a webinar titled Goals: A Love/Hate Relationship!  Click here to join us!

What is the one thing that successful chiropractors do at the Holiday Season? Yes, they have fun, regenerate and relax with family and friends.  But more importantly? There are some basic steps that the ones who are creating the life and practice of their dreams do routinely at year end. Here they are:

• Take some time to reflect on 2009.  What did you set out to accomplish? What was your intention for the year?  Did you accomplish those things? What were the wins? More importantly, what needs to be improved upon? What didn’t  you accomplish but you learned something about yourself? How did you deal with challenge and adversity? Overall, how did you show up this year? In life and practice?
• Set a theme or intention to 2010: Maybe it’s practice growth. Maybe it’s the year of leadership.  Have an idea how you want 2010 to end before it starts
• Define your mission for 2010. In a written paragraph and look at it every morning to remind yourself of this big picture thinking you’re starting the year off with
• What are the Top 5 goals that you have to accomplish to make 2010 your best year yet?
• Set time aside each day (preferably the morning) to review your Top 5 goals and write the 5 things you must do today to move you towards those big goals
• Lastly, be disciplined and committed. Take your success seriously.  Get a coach. Show up big. Get organized and focused on making your goals a reality.

Have a very Happy Holiday with your family and loved ones.  From us at Rosen Chiropractic Coaching, we’re wishing you a safe and happy New Year and that 2010 is your best year yet!
