If you've been a chiropractor for longer than two days, someone has tried to sell you something. I've been on both sides of that. I spent nine years in practice buying coaching, services, and products, and in all that time, not one person ever told me I was a bad fit. Looking back, that bothers me.

In this episode, I walk through five signs that a chiropractic coach, marketing company, or service provider may be more interested in closing you than helping you. I'm not naming names, and I'm not saying a bad result means you got scammed. You can do everything right and still end up with a disappointing outcome. But the more of these signs that show up while you're deciding, the more it makes sense to slow down.

I share the story of the first coaching program I signed up for, with no research of my own, taught by someone who specialized in pediatrics when I never wanted to be a pediatric chiropractor. I also explain why a brand new chiropractor in a competitive market shouldn't be paying $1,500 to $2,000 a month for SEO, what to do with that money instead, and the one question I'd ask any company before paying them: how would I be a bad fit?

If you're happy with the companies you work with, stick with them. This episode is for the chiropractor who is frustrated, especially if what was promised at the start doesn't match what happened after.

Topics Covered:

• Why no one telling me I was a bad fit in nine years of practice is a red flag
• Why a bad outcome doesn't automatically mean you were scammed
• Sign 1: Promising outcomes they can't control
• Sign 2: Not investigating your situation, including your finances
• Why new chiropractors in competitive markets should skip expensive SEO and build the foundation first
• Sign 3: They've never told anyone no
• Sign 4: Unnecessary urgency or pressure
• Sign 5: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is
• Why boring, consistent habits beat shortcuts
