We are interested in
assisting individuals who are committed to taking their practice (and personal)
growth to the next level of fun and profit.
We are interested in long
term relationships.
We realize the better the
“fit” between your desires and Power Strategies capabilities, the better the
chance of a long term relationship.
So …take the test and see if
there is a “fit”.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Print this from your
browser or write down your score for the 10 items below and total them.
2. Chose the number, on a
one to ten scale, that most closely reflects your answer on the subject matter.
Ten = total agreement or strong desire. One = not important in your life.
3. Compare your score to the
guide.
1. Do you
desire to have more fun in practice and life?
1-----------10
2. Do you
desire more profit in your practice and/or more wealth accumulation?
1----------10
3. Would
you like to master that art of having patients START, STAY, REFER and PAY?
1----------10
4. Would
you like to solve billing and coding issues?
1----------10
5. Would
you like to be introduced to a software system that allows you to leave the
office every night with billing completed, reports automatically written, call
backs for missed appointments and appointment confirmation completed etc. that
allows you to enter the practice each morning with no “pile” of “to – be-
done”?
1----------10
6. Would
you like your staff to be a “Power Team” of problem solvers vs. problem causers?
1----------10
7. Would
you like to have unlimited phone consulting and multiple seminars each year to
create a totally customized (no cookie cutter) approach to take you from where
you are to where you desire to be?
1----------10
8. Would
you like assistance on practice decisions and to get rid of the “Lone Ranger”
feel of practice?
1----------10
9. Would
you like to overcome “burnout” or simply get “recharged” periodically?
1----------10
10. Would you like to
participate in “what’s working today” sessions to learn what others do—RIGHT NOW
VS. YEARS AGO--- that works to bring in new patients and increase office
efficiency?
1----------10
Score key.
So, how did you do?
If your total score was below 30, and no single question
ranked a nine or ten—congratulations!
You are pretty satisfied and happy with your practice and
life.
If your total score was between 30 and 50 you are in a
danger zone. Most people at this level are not satisfied with their level of
fun and profit but are not motivated enough to do anything about it—the pain is
not great enough ---yet. (You know about the two old Texas guys on the porch?
The one says, “Why is that old blood hound howling out there in the yard?” The
other replies, “He’s layin on a nail”. The first one says, “Why don’t he
move?”. The old boy replies, “It don’t hurt that bad yet”.)
Are you lay' in on nails? How bad is it going to get?
If your total was over 50…. time to start removing nails!
It should be an easy decision for you and an easy job for us. At these levels of
dissatisfaction or inefficiency, there are so many options of approaches that
work, and so many areas that can improve, we are very encouraged about our
chances to assist.
As we assist you in improving one area you typically see
the impact “globally” on the practice in other areas. Then we keep on going--
like peeling the layers of an onion.
If any single question rates a 9 or 10 the chances
are you could rocket practice growth, and satisfaction, with our assistance. Any
area where you have that much desire, and have not already achieved your
objective, can have massive effects on growth- when the desire is accomplished.
This would likely make Power Strategies an excellent investment.
If you rated more than one question a 9 or 10—what are you
waiting for?
More importantly, how long are you going to tolerate this
situation keeping you from enjoying the fun and profit you deserve from
practice and life? You “put your time in” training for your profession and have
lived up to the responsibilities and risks inherent in private practice--- when
do you think you deserve the rewards?
If you don’t work with
us, what are you going to do?
Make a decision, whatever it is, and do it!
Nothing will change until you do something different.
AWARENESS
Asking the right questions produces new awareness about
your desires and focuses you on what can be done to accomplish them.
The following questions may assist you in focusing on
