This one is no fun at all

I'm particularly blessed. Great family, good health and I love my work. In fact, helping other chiropractors help more people, have more fun and be more successful is my calling. That's what makes this entry no fun at all.

The vast majority of time, Five Star clients not only do well, but do their best ever years in practice while with us. Not this time.

A young man called me a while ago. He was in serious financial trouble and needed help. Virtually every aspect of his practice, other than his heart to help people, was in crisis. To make a long story short, he didn't make it. He'll close his practice, bankrupt out of his debt and is even thinking about doing something other than chiropractic for a while. Ouch.

I know many great DCs who struggled, even failed, in practice at the start and I know that he can turn things around and succeed, but he feels badly and so do I. It's not OK that it turned out like this.

So, why blog on this less than cheery subject? Because more potentially great docs fail than you might think and usually for the worst of, and very preventable. reasons.

IF you know someone who's stumbling, tell them to call me at (800) 224-4876.

But please, tell them not to wait too long. We've done near miraculous recoveries, but they can wait too long - like my young friend.
