I get many calls each week saying the title of this article, “I’m Practicing for Years and have No Money to Show For It.” That mantra can be changed; read on.
Change will not happen on its own. Change will happen when YOU are ready to make it happen. That means that you are going to have to go way out of your comfort zone and spend time and money (that you don’t have) in a different way to get different and better results. There is no magic bullet, potion or lotion. It has been and will always be stepping out of your comfort zone and spending your time and money differently than you are doing right now.
After coaching doctors just like you for twelve years, I can tell you with 100% certainty that anyone can be helped if they are willing to invest their time and money differently than they are doing right now. Follow each and every suggestion below for 30 days. Each and every one, not just the ones you like and see what happens to your practice.
REMEMBER, The POWER IS WITHIN YOU, NOT IN THE NEXT NEW PATIENT GIMMICK!
1. Get Your Head space right. Start doing “be” level things on a daily basis. Affirmations, journal writing, visualization, and goal setting. Create a daily plan of success. Don’t create a wish, hope or dream. A daily plan for success vs. a hope, wish or dream are two entirely different things. Get spiritual. You don’t have to get religious but get spiritual. Spirituality calms the mind, elicits faith, and gives you clarity of purpose. Your action step for the next 30 days is to create your habits of excellence everyday including weekends.
2. Get a Coach. Stop spinning your wheels and making mistakes. Can your patients get along without your services? Of course not. Then why do you think that you can do it on your own. Results are the proof. If you can say this, “I’m Practicing for Years and have No Money to Show For It” then you need coaching. PERIOD END OF STORY! Respectfully if you could do it on your own you would not be saying that. Notice I did not say coach with me. I said get a coach. Even if you had a disastrous coaching experience in the past, don’t give up on the process, find a great coach to help you. Click here to read an article on how to find the right coach. There are many terrific coaches out there. Find one that you resonate with and that has the criteria in the article. Your action step for the next 30 days is to interview different coaching companies and see who you resonate with. Then hire one!
3. Get Strategic. Tactical based marketing is not as effective as strategic-based marketing. Create a UVP (unique value proposition). Next create an ideal new patient and a budget. Then create a minimum of five campaigns that are strategic in nature. Your action step for the next 30 days is to launch a minimum of 1 strategic campaign.
4. Come from a position of love not fear. Fear will eat you alive and kill you. Fear will destroy your hopes and dreams. faith is the opposite of fear. You need to develop that unshakeable faith. Read books, engage with a mentor, but learn how to turn that fear around. It can be done! I can assure you with 100% certainty when faith replaces fear your whole world (business, money, relationships, health, happiness, and spirituality) will all run with effortless ease. Your action step for the next 30 days is to turn the TV off and get and read some titles like: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Conversations with God, Neale Walsche, Unlimited Power by Anthony Robbins or The Psychology of Winning by Denis Waitley.
5. Decide right now that you are tired of not having or achieving what you want. Then either create the steps to get what you want.

I wish that everyone who is reading this blog understands that you have the power to create anything in your life that you want. Once you understand that basic premise and act accordingly you won’t be able to contain the successful growth of your practice and life.
In twelve years, I haven’t seen one practice that executed the steps above that failed to grow their practice. Why am I so confident (100% certainty) that these tips will create better growth and a more successful and fun practice? Two reasons: (1) I coach practitioners just like you everyday and have seen excellent, duplicative results and (2) Every single day I get a call, email or text from an existing client telling me that since they implemented these procedures and suggestions, they have more money than they ever had before; they love their staff; they are having more fun in practice; or they had a record day in office visits. Or, they had a record week in collections. Or, they had a record month across the board! Please don’t take my word for it.
