In this episode of The Clinical Leadership Podcast, Dr. Alex Earl breaks down one of the most misunderstood milestones in private practice:

Your first $10,000 month.

For many rehab chiropractors, that number feels either overwhelming or far away—but in reality, it’s much simpler than most clinicians think.

This episode walks through the actual math and structure behind a $10K month, including how many patients you really need, how pricing changes everything, and why more volume is not the answer.

Alex also introduces a critical distinction between prospects vs leads, and explains why generating 40 qualified leads per month can be more than enough to build early momentum—without burnout.

If you’ve been told that growth requires more hours, more patients, and more chaos, this episode will challenge that belief and show you a more efficient path forward.
