6 Life Rules That My Mom Taught Me
By Dr. Paul Inselman, owner of Proven Profit Solutions
My heart is broken. My mother, Elizabeth, passed away on February 28th. For those that have never buried a parent I suggest that you wait 200,000 years. For those that have, my heart goes out to you more than my previous condolences ever could have conveyed. This is the so much harder than I ever thought possible. The good news is each day gets better.
Growing a chiropractic practice or a business can really be distilled down into several powerful lessons that my Mom taught me.
1. Be Yourself
Your patients, clients and customers can see and smell BS a mile away. Just be yourself. You will have more fun and the people who you attract will want to be with YOU, not the façade you created.
2. Don't Worry
She would say "why worry about things that may never come to pass?" If negative things do occur you will have plenty of time to worry then. How many of your worst fears never came true?
3. Always Act With Integrity
Integrity is what you do when nobody is looking. If you always act with integrity, you can never go wrong?
4. Be Happy and Have a Pleasing Personality
She was always happy and had an amazing pleasing personality. She loved her family and she loved being together. What would happen if you had the same disposition in your business every single day?
5. Take Care of Others, Especially Those Who Are Less Fortunate
My Mom taught me well. Last year I donated over $250,000 in pro bono work saving 54 business from going bankrupt. Don't worry about giving stuff away. Take care of others. When you help someone less fortunate you will automatically help yourself.
6. Go After Your Dreams and Don't Take No For An Answer
My mom was a fierce competitor and was way ahead of the woman's liberation movement. She hunted, she fished for sharks and other big game in the sea. She would never accept the word no. To her no meant figure out another way to get to yes. That was probably the biggest and best lesson that she taught me.
My Mom was a very special lady. Super-Model material in her younger days. A fierce athletic competitor, great cook, great wife, mother, grandmother and friend. At 85 she had 36 people attend her Zoom funeral. Not a bad send off. She had an incredible dash. If you don't know what I mean by the dash; it is the dash between your birthdate and death date. 1935-2021. Mom, I love you and miss you. Till we meet again.
Obsessed with your success,
Paul Inselman
PS: If you have parents treat them better than gold. You will be happy that you did. I have no regrets; my Mom knew how much I loved her because I showed her in some way every single day. I hope this very personal newsletter helps you in some way.
