	Article 23 -- JULY 2011 Article #23 “Professional Practices—Check Points For Generating Instant Income”      Would you find yourself snapping to attention if someone threw a huge stack of money on your desk, said nothing, and walked out of your medical office without saying a single word?      If you are a physician, professional health care provider, or other medical care provider with a small business, listen closely.  Many of you are struggling along financially and need help, or at least would be thankful for some new income strategies to implement into your business.            We agree that every small business owner today had better do something immediately to prop up your declining income.  However, even more than maintaining a level flow of income, a professional business must work at increasing revenues consistently long term.      Every medical professional continues to seek out methods to do that, experts to tell them how to do that, and resources that enable you to accomplish it.  Those are not easy to find.       Small business of medical practices suffers from being outsiders to most other kinds of businesses.  Doctors are isolated from the interactions of most other non-professional businesses, which does contribute to also being outside the circles of business education, new business strategies, and contacts with the business experts who can be of great help to them. How do you find that kind of expert help?      The fact that doctors are never educated in business principles during their professional education and training, moves them further away from the business help they need for survival.  Consider these search factors: Have you wised-up to the fact you are running a small business and have no reliable knowledge how to run a business and make it successful? Have you taken on the responsibility of learning how to run a small business efficiently and profitably? Do you read business books, take business newsletters, subscribe to marketing newsletters? Do you attend business seminars for professionals outside the medical arena? Are you aware of the names and histories of business experts who offer advice, teaching seminars, and personal business coaching?      If you answered NO to any or all of these questions, indications are that you are a medical professional who believes the outdated dogma promoted by medical educators (you don’t really need to have a business education to practice medicine), or that you have no desire or intention to reach your full potential as a professional.       Chances are that you are happy with the mediocre medical practice you have now that is slowly going downhill.  You probably don’t even realize it is happening to your practice because you have no business standards to measure the changes that are taking place silently.       Had you been doing a few of the tasks mentioned in the series of questions above, you would already know who to seek help from.  It won’t do much good to ask other doctors around you, because 95% of them are in the same boat as you.      Business experts who are outside the health care industry and medical professions are the only ones who will give you everything you need to earn more in your practice.  Others with some business knowledge help, but only to give you new ideas that you have to learn to do yourself. What do you need to reach your highest practice potential and profitability? You need to create…… 1.   A business system implemented into every segment of your medical business. 2.   A reliable and workable set of strategies to make each business system run on automatic. 3.   A written business plan for your particular medical business type before you can do the above two steps. 4.   A long-term primary goal for your practice business and a series of progressive short term goals to reach the primary goal. 5.   A good foundational knowledge of business principles before you can create the four steps above. 6.   A firm commitment, sworn on your family integrity, that you will go to any extreme to take action on everything you have envisioned for yourself.  Meaning, you intend to do what it takes to rise to your greatest productivity in your medical business and you won’t quit until you have accomplished it.  The medical business can then run on its own without much management.  You start with #6 and work up the line.  You can do it yourself or pay an expert a lot of money to do it for you.      About 7 major business systems are commonly promoted because of their long standing value and reliability for growing businesses and creating instant income for owners.  Thankfully, there are a few business strategists and experts who now provide the step-by-step process for anyone to follow and succeed using these systems. What are the 7 Major Systems? 1. Prospecting and Lead Generating System---contact potential new patients on a continuing recurrent basis. 2. Internet Selling System---your business website attracts interested prospects, captures their info, and convinces them you have the right stuff. 3. Your Sales and Lead Conversion System---once the first two have pre-conditioned prospective patients, then you must sell them on being your patient. 4. Key Performance Reporting System---measurements and profitability performance indicators that tell you how you’re doing. 5. Your New Business Development System---constantly identifying potential new patients, new sources for patients, and establishing services that turn into a secondary source of income. 6. Publicity and Media System---arrange for your medical practice to have widespread attention in all the media formats. 7. Your Cash-Flow Generating Staff---ensure you staff is empowered and instructed to make money for the business.  They must understand that they are there to work with an eye towards generating income.      You can find more details about this overall process from a highly regarded business expert, Janet Switzer.  Her full program runs about $797 and includes many bonuses.  Contact them at support@instantincome.com .  Subscribe to her newsletter for a wider expanse of business knowledge.  Her website is  www.instantincome.com .
