(Today’s blog post is by Chris Burfield, founder of Chiropractic Secret Society, a free social networking site for chiropractors to share ideas. Chris also owns and operates a chiropractic office in Texas, which grosses over 500K annually.)
Is your office streamlined? …or is it chaos at times? Are you delegating low priority things to your staff? …or are you trying to be a Super Man or Wonder Woman and do it all yourself?
The reason I ask is because a company cannot grow beyond the ability to streamline and delegate.
What that means is, every job position, if it wants to go to a more effective and efficient state, has to streamline what it is doing in the most efficient pathway it can be done in.
You must delegate low priority things, so you can focus higher priority things.
Think about this for a minute. What is going to make you more money, answering telephones and scheduling patients which is a $12 an hour job or Adjusting 15 patients in an hour which can be a $1000 + and hour job?
Anytime you do something that is lower priority in your office, you bring your office down.
Your office will IMPLODE and not EXPLODE!!
It is important to delegate lower priority things in your business so you can focus on those things which are higher priority and make you the most money.
Another thing that I require everyone on my Team do, is write down the 7 top priority things they can do in a day to help fulfill our Mission.
By doing this, we can see which things actually help to grow the office. We then take those common priorities and streamline them in a way that we can achieve those things more effectively and efficiently.
It is essential, in order to grow the organization to keep going toward greater efficiency and greater effectiveness.
If you do not make yourself duplicatable, then you hold yourself and your practice down. It is essential to duplicate and create the delegation process or your practice will not grow. …plain and simple!
