EPISODE QUOTES

“The best way for you to see a growth in your practice is to take a vacation.” (01:23)

“I have a triple black belt in vacationing. It’s always been super important to me. It’s super important to my wife. It’s part of my family culture. I inherited it. It runs in my family; it does not skip a generation. I come from a long line of vacationers, people who really appreciate getting away.” (02:41)

“To me, there’s three types of vacations. You have ‘stay-cations,’ you have ‘work-cations’ and you have vacations. And so, there’s three levels of them. And again, depending on the season, and the time of year, and the time of life, and the structure, this is why planning is so important. We talk about plan, prepare, execute and assess.” (05:31)

“Your business is always a reflection of your energy. When your energy’s up, the business is up. When your energy’s flat, your business is flat. When your energy’s down, the business is down.” (10:54)

“As chiropractors, we are teachers. The word ‘doctor’ means teacher. And so, we’re teaching the wellness lifestyle and we are living the wellness lifestyle.” (15:28)

“Send people on vacation and pay for their vacation. Get them out of the office because your practice is a reflection of your energy. So, if the energy dips it costs you a lot of money. If you don’t take vacation, the energy will dip; you will burn out.” (22:23)
