340 - Why Your Practice Drifts Off-Track and What You Can Do to Fix It
The Remarkable CEO for Chiropractors
Intro to SprintSet with Roger Sahoury
Pete introduces guest Roger Sahoury and the SprintSet lifestyle program as a retention and revenue solution.
Why does chaos rear its ugly head in your practice?
Your practice is a set of systems - and systems move from a state of ‘Order to Disorder’ unless energy is introduced to reorganize the system. This is the Law of Entropy in action. Your practice systems - and your people - will naturally “drift” off track if you let them.
This episode gives you a clear roadmap to stop ‘practice drift’, protect your core values, and run your chiropractic business at speed without losing control. Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete unpack the Porsche drifting metaphor, the law of entropy, and a simple three-step framework to operationalize, professionalize, and optimize your practice. You will see how to use delegation, identity, and a stronger training culture to keep your team aligned with your vision story so you grow volume, profit, and impact without burning out.
In this episode you will:
- Understand how practice drift shows up across adjusting, education, front desk, and reports.
- Learn the three-step framework of operationalize, professionalize, and optimize for sustainable growth.
- See why entropy is always pulling your systems off course and what to do about it.
- Discover the delegation method of identify, train, trust, and verify so the right people own the right roles.
- Get practical ideas to build a training culture that protects alignment, profit, and purpose in 2026 and beyond.
