Monday Morning Motivation | Barriers to Growth
Posted by Bill Esteb on Dec 6th 2025
Want to help more patients?
A sustainable 10% to 20% increase might make all the difference, allowing you to retire some debt, and maybe even retire yourself.
Rising above your current "set point" means reducing constraints:
Is your aversion to patients waiting, stronger than your desire to grow?
When you have openings, do you linger with that enjoyable patient?
Is your support team well-trained and have an incentive to grow?
Is practice promotion or new patient marketing distasteful?
Are there things you could do—but choose not to do them?
Are you reluctant to make optimal care recommendations?
Do you have clarity about what you’re delivering?
Instead of set procedures do you call audibles?
Do you give formal reports and progress exams?
Have you traded respect for being liked?
Do you lack remarkable adjusting skills?
Are you proud of being a chiropractor?
Just how badly do you want to grow?
