subject: Is Doing The Same Old Thing Dragging You Down? [print this page] If youre like me, doing the same thing day in and day out get old. Fast. Some people like working in a corporate setting, doing the same paperwork, the same filing, the same, simple, monotonous jobs each day. But Im differentand I bet you are, too. You didnt become a Chiropractor to sit at a desk and fill out patient cards or schedule appointments on the computer. You took this path to make a difference in the world and patients livesso what happened?
Youre getting frustrated because youre not getting enough new patients. Ive been there. The very thing youre focusing on is exactly what youre going to get: lack. See, youre not focusing on new people walking in your door and loving your services, youre thinking over and over again all day long about the lack of new people coming into your office. Hows that for unproductive, everyday-is-the-same, fretting? So you spend too much time filling out treatment cards to take up time. You chit-chat and gossip for far too long with the small amount of patients that do come to see you. You wander aimlessly up and down the halls, bugging your CAs (if you have any), or youre playing on the computer all day long. The same old thing is definitely dragging you down, as it once did me.
Get up! Get out! Learn a new system that automatically drives in referrals and teaches patient education so you can have FUN on a daily basis. Everyday should be different from the next; an adventure. A new special case, a surprise long-lost practice member popping back inthere should be something fun and exciting every single day to look forward to in your office, whether you know what that little event(s) might be or not.
Nobody is going to do this for you. You have to make your life fun again and the rest will take care of itself.
