In this episode of The Aligned for Success podcast, Nikki welcomes Dr. Mitch Quill for an insightful conversation about building a successful chiropractic practice alongside his wife.
Mitch shares his journey from Wisconsin athlete who discovered chiropractic through his own sports injuries to co-owner of a thriving million-dollar practice in Illinois. He discusses his early dedication to investing in continuing education despite limited reimbursement from employers—spending his entire annual education stipend within weeks to expand his clinical toolbox beyond what chiropractic school taught him.
Throughout their conversation, Nikki and Mitch explore the challenges of transitioning from associate to practice owner, particularly navigating the COVID-19 pandemic just one year after purchasing their practice. Mitch reveals his mindset shift from being a practitioner with a job to a true business owner, noting how building a team that can operate without him has finally allowed him to take meaningful vacations with his family.
Mitch delivers powerful insights on diversifying treatment options through advanced technology like shockwave therapy and the importance of surrounding yourself with like-minded practitioners. He credits joining coaching groups and mastermind communities as one of the decisions that most helped align his life for success.
This episode is a must-listen for practitioners looking to build a profitable practice that provides both financial success and lifestyle freedom, particularly for those interested in the male perspective of practice ownership and entrepreneurship.
