As we dive into the new year, 2024, the focus is on evaluating our weaknesses.

In this enlightening episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training podcast, join hosts and SCT coaches Dr. FJ Schofield and Dr. Fred Schofield as they delve deep into the foundational philosophy that underpins chiropractic care and its pivotal role in the healing process. Chiropractic care is not merely about making adjustments; it's about understanding and embracing the profound philosophy that the body has an innate ability to heal itself.

Welcome to Season 3 of the MoChihChu Podcast!   In this episode, Rhino coaches Dr. FJ and Dr. Fred, talk about the biggest threat to long term success: BURNOUT   Success is often measured by its sustainability over the long term. Burnout, by its nature, is not sustainable. It can lead to premature practice burnout, causing individuals to reach their peak potential earlier than they might have otherwise, and potentially resulting in a downward spiral in terms of career achievements and even home life.   Burnout can lead to disengagement and a lack of motivation. Over time, this can hinder an individual's practice and home life, limiting their opportunities for long-term success. Burnout can also lead to dissatisfaction, prompting individuals to retire early, sell their practice, or even make a career changes.   Check out today's episode to learn some tactics that both Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ implement to maintain and manage their energy in practice and at home!     Interested in coaching with

Hey Rhinos, Dr. FJ Schofield   I want to go over an abbreviated version of some of the content I covered during our Digital Training. During the time of this video we are currently working through Covid-19, but this will be on YouTube for years to come so if there’s ever any crisis or recession this is valuable information you can use. When I was in my 9th Trimester at Chiropractic school and my friend and I were putting together a business plan. You know, you’re excited, you’re ideological “we’re going to average 15 NP visits/week and we’re going to ….” So I show my dad, and he goes “you know this is great, and maybe you will grow this way. But you have to plan for the worst case scenario. You have to plan that some weeks you might only have 2 or 3 New Patients in the beginning, or none.” You have to plan that way, you can expect the best, that’s great, but plan for the worst. In any crisis, whenever times are difficult, any planning period, it’s always best to plan for the worst. Expect the best, but plan
