LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES
Do you still love the “game” of chiropractic? Going from table to table and connecting with your patients – and listening – and caring – and helping – all without the thought of profit? These kids were out there playing what we know to be our nation’s pastime and I’m thinking, “Why isn’t chiropractic still like this?”
The 24 Karat Gold Sink
I was taught to do visualization exercises when I was around 12 years old, and I’ve been doing them ever since. I’d like to share the visualization I do in my car while parked in front of my office each morning.
DO YOUR ACTION STEPS SUPPORT YOUR VISION?
If you close your eyes and REALLY think about it, can you visualize, down to the slightest detail, what your ideal practice looks like? Where is it? How many doctors are there? How many staff members? What types of patients are receiving care? How many hours are you working? How many days are you open? What techniques are used? How much is collected? And so on and so on until you can vividly describe every aspect?
STICKY CHARISMA
I was at a family wedding last night – a beautiful affair – and during the best man’s speech, I heard two words strung together in a way I had never heard. As the groom’s brother was eloquently sharing his feelings about the man of the hour, he described him as having STICKY CHARISMA.

A Carrot, an Egg, and a Cup of Coffee
Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?
Habitat for Humanity
The Markson Connection went to New Orleans for Habitat for Humanity. This video demonstrates what’s possible when a tribe of like-minded chiropractors get together for a common purpose. WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!
Where is the Enthusiasm?
