EPISODE QUOTES
“If you are listening to this and you are a chiropractor, and you own your business, if you have employees, if you’re a sole proprietor, if you’re an independent contractor inside someone else’s business, all of those people will qualify for this [the CARES Act].” (06:10)
“Here’s my argument for why you need to move fast. There is a set amount of money in this bill - $349 billion – that is going towards this program in particular. I have no idea what the private payroll of companies under 500 people across the country is, because everyone is going to take advantage of this.” (12:16)
“This is such a great time for you to be pouring into your ideal patients. What is it that they need right now? How could you and your team be creating content that would give them some hope right now. Cause there’s a lot of people that are pretty down about what’s going on right now. You could be a ray of sunshine for these people the way I’ve been able to be a ray of sunshine for offices out there that didn’t know what they should be doing.” (28:26)
“There are so many things that we could be doing right now as far as the highest and best use of your time to continue to grow your business but be the authority. People will remember how you make them feel and they’ll remember especially how you lead during this time.” (32:31)
