From Tough Beginnings to Empowerment

Embracing Change & Growth

• Lessons from “Who Moved My Cheese?”: Don’t cling to old strategies—adapt, evolve, and shift from scarcity thinking.
• “Grow or die”: Why clinic owners must always be planning for growth and a smart exit strategy.

Values-Driven Leadership

• Identify your true core values—not just “family” or “service,” but the deeper drivers like kindness, gratitude, and fun.
• Use your values as a litmus test for what to keep, delegate, or let go in your business.

Creative Marketing & Patient Experience

• Always ask, “What’s in it for them?”—craft marketing and onboarding that creates wins for your patients.
• Gamify the patient journey: Offer small rewards (even non-monetary) for milestones like completing forms or scheduling visits.
• Use creative touches—sample packs, e-cards, or recognition—to turn routine appointments into memorable experiences.

Tracking & Optimizing for Growth

• Don’t rely on feelings—track data to see where your best patients come from.
• Audit your front desk: Are team members acting as professional schedulers or just answering questions?
• A great onboarding experience can set your clinic apart and increase revenue.

Mindset Shifts for Abundance

• Practice “10 wins”: Record and celebrate your wins each month to reinforce progress and boost confidence.
• Women (and men): Claim your achievements! Modeling prosperity helps others rise too.
• Prosperity and goodness are not mutually exclusive—being abundant allows you to help more people.

Actionable Insights for Clinic Owners

• Identify what’s missing in your clinic—fun, connection, adventure? Infuse it intentionally.
• Focus on patient wins: Make every interaction a “win” for them, not just a transaction for you.
• Track where your best patients come from and double down on those channels.
• Celebrate your wins—publicly and privately. Display your accomplishments and use them as motivation.
• Revisit your values and align your clinic’s culture, marketing, and patient experience with them.
