Welcome Podcast
Nov 19, 2024
Welcome to the Seven Figure Chiro Podcast Blog, where we delve into the essentials of building a thriving chiropractic practice. I’m Dr. Jeff Berard, and alongside my wife Kristin, we’ve spent the past two decades refining strategies that empower chiropractors to unlock their full potential—both professionally and financially.
This blog is your roadmap to success. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just starting, our mission is to guide you toward creating a practice that not only serves patients effectively but also supports a prosperous and fulfilling life.
Why Seven Figures Should Be Your Goal
As chiropractors, we dedicate ourselves to improving lives, but financial stability is often a missing piece of the puzzle. Many talented chiropractors never achieve the success they deserve—not because of a lack of skill, but because of a gap in business knowledge and strategy.
We believe every chiropractor can achieve a seven-figure practice, and through this blog, we’ll explore the common mistakes, overlooked opportunities, and actionable steps to get there.
Our Journey: From Struggles to Success
When I graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2001, I was passionate about the technical aspects of chiropractic care. However, I had no business experience and underestimated the challenges of running a successful practice.
Right out of school, I bought a practice with minimal preparation. Despite being technically sound, I struggled to manage employees, structure pay scales, and maintain solvency. After years of grinding and frustration, I realized technical skills alone weren’t enough—I needed systems, strategy, and support to grow.
Kristin joined me in this journey, bringing the organization and procedures we desperately needed. Together, we created a foundation that turned things around. Fast forward to today: we’ve built a team of 30+ and now rank in the top 5% of practices nationwide in revenue.
Key Lessons We’ll Share
The Importance of Vision: Success begins with clarity. Without a detailed vision for your practice, it’s impossible to align your actions with your goals. We’ll teach you how to create a vivid, actionable vision to guide your business decisions.
- Mindset Shift: The thought patterns that got you where you are today won’t take you to the next level. We’ll show you how to change your thinking to achieve breakthrough results.
- Building Infrastructure: A strong foundation is critical. From pay scales to workflows, we’ll dive into creating the systems and processes that support a thriving practice.
- Team Development: Your team is your greatest asset. Learn how to recruit, train, and motivate team members who are as driven as you are to achieve success.
- Avoiding Common Pitfalls: Many chiropractors fall into the trap of chasing “shiny objects,” such as new gadgets or services, without focusing on what truly drives growth. We’ll explore what works and what doesn’t.
Are You Ready to Take Action?
One of the biggest questions we’ll address is: Are you hungry for success, or just comfortable? Those who are truly hungry will put in the work to forge a new path. That means overcoming fear, laziness, and excuses—and we’re here to help you do it.
The Art of Integration
Success doesn’t happen in a vacuum. While I focus on ideas and innovation, Kristin plays the critical role of integrator, turning concepts into actionable plans. Together, we’ve mastered the balance of vision and execution—and you can too by building the right team.
