I continue the pursuit of collecting and cataloging ideas, resources, and insights to share with the chiropractic community for personal and professional growth. 

Attending the first annual Strategic Coach CoachCon was a great experience. I took away many great lessons that I will apply to my life and convey to the MCM audience.

*Personal Branding: The Business Model of the Future w/ Krista Clive-Smith 

*The Art of Negotiation w/ Chris Voss 

*Radical Authenticity: Leadership Lessons from Special Forces Training, Modern Neuroscience, And Ancient Wisdom w/ Travis Ramsey

The tug-of-war battle between Associate and Practice Owner is well documented, but it doesn’t have to be that way. There are many strategies and best practices to have a mutually beneficial experience for both the associate and the practice owner, and that is what we discuss in this week’s podcast episode. 

In this episode, I interview Dr. Lisa Goodman, who recently published her book The Manual for the Chiropractic Entrepreneur.  

“Are you a Chiropractor, or are you an entrepreneur who happens to be a Chiropractor?” Strategic Coach found that Dan Sullivan likes to ask doctors this question, and it always makes me think. Part of being an entrepreneur is leading and leveling up your team, and associates are no different. 

Dr. Lisa Goodman believes that chiropractic is the best profession in the world. Certified in sports, prenatal, and pediatric chiropractic, as well as Titleist Performance Institute certified, Dr. Goodman founded Washington Park Chiropractic in 2006. She has a degree in marketing and communications and spent four years in brand advertising before graduating as valedictorian of her chiropractic college, Palmer West. She is known as an international speaker, author, teacher, mentor, and clinician in and out of the office at worldwide events.

“THE MANUAL for the Chiropractic Entrepreneur,” published by Parker University, is Dr. Goodman’s first published book. It serves as a comprehensive guide for both established and aspiring chiropractic entrepreneurs and offers strategies for launching and growing a successful practice.

The more I discuss with colleagues and experts how to provide the patient with great care and how to avoid the commoditization trap that insurance companies have doctors firmly trapped in, the more the idea of add-on services keeps revealing itself as a great option. 

Whether you are in-network with insurance or are a cash practice, some services are not covered by insurance or should be charged at a separate cash rate from your traditional chiropractic care. 

Some of those add-on services include but are not limited to, Shock Wave Therapy, Dry Needling, Laser Therapy, Physical Training, Supplementation, and more. 

In this episode, I interview Dr. David Rudnick about how he provides world-class care in his sports chiropractic clinic and has escaped insurance companies' commoditization trap. 

The good news is that you don’t have to be a hard-sell clinic. You can provide add-on services without pressuring your patients into spending money they don’t want to.
