Ep330. Growth Through Clarity: Vision & Mission with Dr Tony Ebel
In a recent episode, we touched upon the foundational steps of building a thriving community around your chiropractic practice. The essence? It starts with a clear mission and vision. Today, we're honoured to have Dr Tony Ebel with us, delving deeper into the intricacies of creating a resonant vision, mission, and the pivotal role of core values. Dr Ebel shares invaluable insights from the 1000’s of chiropractors he’s worked with, emphasising the significance of keeping the vision and mission at the forefront of team operations. A common misconception among chiropractors, especially those new in practice or facing challenges, is viewing the development of a vision and mission as a 'luxury' or a future endeavour. However, as Dr Ebel points out, these foundational elements can be the very catalysts that drive practice success. Whether you're just starting out, facing hurdles, or have been in the field for decades, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the power of purpose-driven chiropractic practice. Remember, it's "Not just about marketing, it’s about making a difference". Thanks for all you do. Keep saving lives!

Dr. Tony truly runs and operates his dream practice (one of the largest pediatric practices in the county) or what he also now terms “the practice of the future” for chiropractic. Partnering with Dr. David Jackson, Dr. Tony co-created the first ever online pediatric training program, Epic Pediatrics. He again joined with Dr. Jackson and his incredible practice-building and training program, Epic Accelerators, as an Epic Coach. Having himself benefited tremendously from his 3 years as an Epic Accelerator Client, it was time for him to simply turn around and “lend a hand up” to as many chiropractors as possible in this area as well. Tony’s amazing wife Kristina keeps his craziness in check, three incredibly beautiful and gifted daughters Addison, Alaina, and Emilia, and an amazing little boy Oliver who himself went through “the perfect storm” spending 6 weeks in the NICU with a very grave prognosis of seizures and severe neurological damage and delays, only to come through that with zero seizures or developmental delays thanks to the early application of Pediatric Chiropractic. He is a health and wellness “junkie” who loves CrossFit, reading and learning, spending time with his family, and sports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
