Note: Kevin Doherty is one of the first people I stumbled across a few years back when we started this blog. He built a successful acupuncture practice, then went on to become an author and business coach.
He’s a smart guy, which I like, but he’s also walked the talk, building a six-figure income while [...]
We’re leaving shortly for our annual two-week summer getaway – it’s our 7th year for this escape. We spend 14 days living off the grid at a solar-powered cottage. During that time we have no contact with the practice whatsoever, and it’s become a critical part of staying balanced.
We generally take at least a week [...]
We’re firm believers that there comes a time when finding success means you need to work less at some things, not more. It’s counterintuitive, I know, but sometimes the most important things are.
Here’s are 6 reasons why cutting your hours might just take your practice to the next level:
1. You’ll Be More Efficient
Parkinson’ s [...]
Hi Everyone,
Summer’s in full swing in our part of the world, and we’re heading out for our annual 2-week hiatus. We’ll be off the grid in solar-powered relaxation mode (right here, to be specific).
A few tidbits before we head out:
Escape 101 is now available in Audio
We’re excited about this one. Escape 101 is a how-to [...]
Many of you know that Tara and I spend last winter doing volunteer health care and economic development work in Paraguay, SA. It really was an incredible experience – the positive impact on our health and family was remarkable.
The real bonus benefit was that our practice was profitable while we were away, and ran [...]
We’re off for a two week break. It’s an annual summer getaway for us – no phones, TV, or internet. In fact, there’s no power. The place is off the grid, and runs on solar juice.
We’ll be back in a couple of weeks, so if we don’t get to your practice questions [...]
CAM practitioners seem to have a real challenge in leaving their practices for a decent vacation. The Too-Busy can’t seem to make the time, and the Not-Busy-Enough are afraid to leave, or don’t feel they can afford to.
Here’s the thing: vacation time is a like money. You need to manage it, or [...]
I got a few questions after the recent series on Leaving Your Practice. One of the best was:
“How much should I pay the person who looks after my practice?”
Great question. There are several ways you can consider compensating the person who fills your shoes while you’re on sabbatical, vacation, maternity leave, or any other type [...]
In many ways, the practical aspects of leaving your practice for a sabbatical – locums, money management, etc. – are, believe it or not, the easiest. What can be incredibly challenging is the emotional roller coaster ride of walking away from something you’ve worked so hard to build, and then trying to remain sane while [...]
Whether it’s a sabbatical, an illness, a new baby or just a break, there are times in your practice where you may need to be away for an extended period of time. We’ve just arrived in Paraguay for a five month medical mission, so I thought I’d share some ideas on how you can take [...]
