Six Obstacles that Chiropractors Face
Not treating your practice like a business.
A chiropractor’s practice is usually their biggest asset, in terms of both value and income. Many chiropractors don’t organize it like a business & will lose focus which result in more stress, earning less, & not being able to do what they do best, helping their patients.
Not having a business continuation plan.
Every practice should have a continuation plan to protect itself from unfortunate events. Most chiropractors haven’t taken time to create one, have a partial, uncompleted plan, or have a plan that is unfunded, making it useless.
No Key Employee Benefits
Employees are important and most are vital for your practice’s health and success. Benefits need to attract quality employees to then motivate, retain & reward them. Most practices have common retirement plans, but extra incentives are important to have stability and protection. Chiropractors are employees too, so solid plans should reward them as well.
Not enough wealth outside of the business.
Small business owners' financial futures are aligned with the success or failure of the business. It is very important to have wealth that is not dependent on the practice. This allows more flexibility and freedom when money is wanted or needed, which also protects the practice.
No comprehensive retirement plan.
Most chiropractors have worked hard their entire life and are looking forward to financial independence in retirement. Unfortunately, some of them wait too long before evaluating their retirement plans to see if they can afford to retire, or they believe their standard plan and social security will be sufficient. For many, the result is a delayed retirement or an income shortfall.
No professional team to help with the mentioned 5 obstacles.
Just recognizing the obstacles does not change anything. Every chiropractor should have a team of various professionals that they trust who are capable of creating and implementing the strategies needed for success.
