1. Do you pay off the highest interest rate first?
2. Do you pay the smallest debt first to get an easy win?

The predominant theme that weekend was about the "experience" in your office affects the emotional state of your patients which directly affects the decisions that they make.
To piggy back on that weekend I would like to tie in 6 basic human needs we have that people seek out in their experience. ... Read More

On Thursday I had the huge honor of speaking at the Spring for Life conference at Life West Chiropractic College. Many of you have written me asking me to explain the comment I made about being able to measure everything that happens in my offices through numbers.
