Something that comes up quite a bit with my coaching clients and causes a lot of stress for them is their thoughts about what should and shouldn’t be.

“I SHOULD be seeing this many patients per week.”

“I SHOULD be making this kind of income.”

“I SHOULD work this many days.”

“I SHOULDN’T be so tired.”

“This SHOULDN’T be so hard.”

I want to talk about being busy and busying. 

I used to complain about being sooo busy. I had charts to catch up on, bookkeeping, insurance billing, emails, call backs, new software to learn… it was like my life was a never-ending to-do list. 

The life of a solo Chinese medicine doc, right? So much to do and that didn’t even include treating patients! 

I look back at that time and cringe. Cringe because I can see from my current perspective all of the unnecessary stress and inefficiencies I was creating for myself. All of that busying was entirely my own doing. 

Here is a list of things that my present self wants to tell my past self. My past crazy busy self.

We all have had patients that aren’t very good at committing to their treatment regimens. 

They look to you to stay on top of them and hold them accountable. And many of you comply thinking that you are doing what’s in the best interest of the patient. 

Some of you may think that when a patient isn’t complying it’s because you’re doing something wrong. - well that depends. 

One of the reasons why someone would have a problem with accountability is because they weren’t properly provided with the proper steps to follow.

We may piss a few of you off with this one.

But if you're not willing to consider the fact that you have been doing something wrong you're never going to be open to the idea of doing things better. 
 
We are taught from the get go that treating a patient 1X/week with acupuncture is standard and usual treatment. Except that it's not and it never has been. Join us for a discussion about where this comes from, the negative effects it has on patient outcomes and your business and the ethics of under-treating.

I think today’s episode is going to resonate with many of you listening. Because today we are going to talk about people pleasing and people pleasers. 

As a recovering people pleaser I’m right along here with you. 

So what is a people pleaser? A people pleaser is someone who feels an urge or a need to please others. They don’t like rocking the boat, so to speak. Often times the person is unaware of this urge or need. And most often they will exhibit behaviors to please others at their own expense.

In business, you may have to make different types of decisions than you do in your personal life. You may have different considerations in business than in your personal life. Your activities and stressors are different in business than in your personal life... 

No matter what you do or how much you separate and compartmentalize your business, the common thread throughout every change, every decision, every challenge, every win, and every fail is YOU. 

You may not bring work home, but you bring YOU everywhere you go.

Every couple of years I would get to a point in my career where I would feel completely dissatisfied, complain about being dead tired and on the verge of burnout. I blamed my burnout on working to too many hours, working too hard, too many patients, too many clinic days, etc. So I would solve for those problems by resting, scaling back, tinkering with my hours and schedule, and raising my rates. I would feel temporarily rejuvenated, but eventually I would fall back to that place of burnout. So then I would change something again. And again. And again.

People who express that they are experiencing burnout will most often complain about being exhausted. So they do the same thing I did - rest, scale back, change actions. But here’s the thing: Working very hard, working many hours, seeing a lot of patients… are NOT the cause of burnout. There are many people who can work very hard, work a lot of hours, and see a lot of patients and feel ENERGIZED. So those things on their own are not the root of burnout.

We all hear people say “you have to charge your worth” or you may be saying it to yourself. It’s meant to be inspirational and a reminder to never undersell yourself.

Odds are if you’re struggling with “charging your worth” then you likely have some messy thoughts about your own self worth.

Western Patients have no context for Chinese medicine. 
They have no idea what we do. 

We’re weird and mysterious. 

Patients are looking to you to set the tone of what this experience will be. If you’re confident in yourself, they will be confident in you. If you’re nervous and apprehensive, they will follow suit. If you don’t communicate properly, patients will be confused and they will drop out of care. 

How are you setting the tone of your clinic?
