Let's talk about Inflation, Artificial Intelligence, and Investing...

And, of course...how this all relates to you, as an Animal/Veterinary Chiropractor...

Disclaimer: None of what you read here is investment advice. Speak to a financial professional. Everything I'm writing here, is my opinion only.

If you've been reading my newsletters for some time, you're likely already aware that I'm a big economic/tech nerd.

If you're like most people, you'd probably rather be chewing on broken glass than talking about finances.

However, if you stick with me, you're going to learn how to insulate yourself from becoming more exhausted. Your future-self will thank you for spending some time with me, here.

Oh, and I promise to circle back, so you'll see why this matters to YOU, as an Animal/Veterinary Chiropractic provider...

In other words, the words I'm gifting you here, if you follow them, could make a big difference for you (I sure hope it does). Let's jump in...

INFLATION:

I've discussed this a lot since 2020, so we'll keep it short-ish.

Inflation isn't going away, at least, not in your lifetime.

A simplified way to understand the zoomed-out concept of why inflation occurs is...when the Federal Reserve prints money out of thin air, adding more money into the supply, each and every dollar loses power.

This is why your milk, eggs, houses and yachts (#savethebillionaires) continue to become more expensive (except ChiroSimple, we haven't raised our prices since inception 2018 - we're eating a lot more ramen noodles in an effort to take one for the team).

It's a silent tax you pay, one you didn't vote for, that robs your future time and energy while you sleep. It's the most insidious theft there is. Essentially, all of us must work harder for money that's becoming weaker.

Inflation is also the reason everyone you know (probably including yourself) feels as though they need to become a hedge fund manager in their spare time. They're chasing yield (growth) on their money in an attempt to keep up or outpace this headwind against us.

Since 2021, this inflationary force has become much more difficult to outpace -- and it's not looking great for the future either. I'd actually argue, impossible, if you don't fully understand it.

You're going to need a strategy, now.

And, I've got one for you, if you're willing to listen. It's not a complete strategy, but it's a great start.

Keep reading, I'll bring it all together.

Since our country is in so much debt, we need to print more money (a lot more) to keep things going (service our debt) - don't you wish you could that!

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:

I've been prognosticating on this in these newsletters for half a decade! If you read them, you're probably pretty happy right now (financially). You're welcome.

Ai is here to stay. But...here's the big takeaway, as it relates to you...

In my opinion, Ai will actually result in an resurgence of personal connection and relationships. All animals, which we are, need a connection to another animal (proven by "Harlow's Monkey" experiment).

Ai will accelerate this, because the further we get from one another, the more motivated we will become to have those connections -- it's an animal/human need.

People will become "starved" for human connections. They'll gladly seek out opportunities where they can interact with other humans. You're human, and the services you offer not only create a connection with other humans, but also their animals, which their owners are deeply connected to. Double as powerful!

Ai will help your business grow. Trust me, you'll see.

INVESTING:

Disclaimer: None of what you read here is investment advice. Speak to a financial professional. Everything I'm writing here, is my opinion only.

My favorite topic. I know, I'm such a nerd. Just ask Dr. Amanda. She has no interest in any of this, all she wants to do is help animals and talk about helping them (one of the many reasons why I love her so much).

I'm not going to get into investment strategies here, I've shared that with you before in these newsletters. Today, I wanted to twist this a little and suggest that your animal/veterinary business is (IMO) your most significant investment. Without it, you don't have income to grow elsewhere.

So, it makes sense to carefully consider how you can impact your business to generate more income, by helping more animals -- a clear WIN-WIN.

One ChiroSimple adjustment

can make all the difference in the world.

You catch my drift?

Here me loud and clear....

TIME = MONEY

Ignoring this, is costing you considerably.

And, when you factor in annual inflationary pressures, stable ChiroSimple costs which have never gone up, you can easily see why this might be the single most important decision you can make for you financial-future today (not investment advice. They make me say that).

So, let's sum it all up here:

1. Do the things that create the highest/exponential ROR (Rate of Return) and ditch everything else that doesn't.

Have you noticed that you get ongoing referrals from a single source? That's an example of a ROR that you want to cultivate. By contrast, spending your time (or dollars) with your rotary club might get you the occasional referral, if it's not generating a high ROR, you'd be smart to invest in the habits that creates the ideal yield. (ChiroSimple members have proven that simply sending their reports to every referral source reinforces more referrals).

2. Hedge against risk/liability.

A board complaint can stall your business income, add additional stress no-one can handle these days, and cause you to incur costs that would be very difficult to recover from. Your records are your primary (or only) salvation to help you avoid/recover from this unfortunate reality. Your notes are your voice and representation of your skills - make certain they are up to your standards. Other risk assessments include, but not limited to: staff training, icy walkways, patient flow (could 2-dogs get in a fight?), are you mobile and risk getting in a car accident every day, etc.

3. Create More Time.

Anything that helps you create more time is an automatic, yes.

You are in a trading-time-for-dollars-business-model. More Time = More Income. While most (broke) business owners are worried about cutting out costs, getting rid of the water cooler, and switching to cheaper laundry detergents, you understand that investing in creating more TIME is SMARTER and the way ahead.

I hope I've given you some insights that might empower you to stack more cards in your favor.

All of us here at ChiroSimple appreciate you and what you do. Helping animals is (at least from our perspective) a gift to the world that deserves to be returned to you ten-fold - you're truly making a difference, and we love you for that.
