"You know the principles of chiropractic, but do you know the principles of business? Finishing School is like a key that unlocks painful shackles that prevent even the best DC's from experiencing the success and happiness they deserve. We suffer needlessly. I say this based on my own experience. As business owners, DC's need to learn the foundational truths of business. And that is exactly what Finishing School provides."

Patrick Gentempo, Jr., D.C.
Co-Founder of Chiro Finishing School

Why Chiro Finishing School?

You know the principles of chiropractic...but do you know the principles of business? There are many reasons why Chiro Finishing School is critical for DC's who want to have more fun, less stress and more profit. Here are a few important ones:

  1. SUFFERING IS OPTIONAL:
    A fact of reality is that if you own a chiropractic practice, you are in business. For the most part, all of the training DC's receive in school and during post grad events is all clinically based. Even practice coaching and consulting is focused on procedures (consult, ROF, marketing, etc.) - but not on universal business principles. Therefore, DC's are competent to deliver a great service, but what about business structure and economic models? Here is where we are deficient. To show up every day in a business without understanding foundational business principles and deploying efficient economic strategies is to suffer day to day, week to week, year to year. To borrow a phrase DC's tell their communities, "we suffer needlessly". CHIRO FINISHING SCHOOL will end that suffering.

  2. LOVE THE BUSINESS:
    Chiropractors will often express the sentiment, "I love chiropractic and I love my patients, I just hate the business!" The truth is...No Business = No Patients. No Business = No Chiropractic. You can't hate what makes what you love possible! This hellish contradiction translates at the very least into significant underperformance and very often, into burnout and failure. Learning the business principles of CHIRO FINISHING SCHOOL will help you "Love the Business"...and then, the business will love you back.

  3. RICK SAPIO:
    Rick is not a consultant or public personality. Rick Sapio is Dr. Gentempo's business mentor. He is a guy who is the CEO of a holding company that has over 35 business holdings in it. He has been developing and practicing these business principles for years. Rick and Dr. G are in a weekly mastermind/accountability group together which is where Dr. Gentempo started learning and applying what Rick taught him. The impact was so profound, Dr. G. felt compelled to bring Rick to the chiropractic profession because the need and impact of what Rick teaches is so immense. Dr. Gentempo is quoted as saying, "After running 2 multi-million dollar businesses for many years, I felt I was pretty business savvy - especially in the field of chiropractic. I knew a lot about the tactics of running a chiropractic practice. Care plans, marketing, communications, etc. Indeed, I taught these things successfully to DC's for many years. However, what I didn't realize is that there was a deeper foundation to the understanding of business in general. Simple but profound principles that I learned from Rick Sapio. During the worst economy of my lifetime, these principles have had massive positive impact not only on my businesses, but my entire life because of the reduction of stress and the increase in efficiency and clarity with which everything functions. The crazy thing is how obvious these principles are. Sort of like chiropractic principles as they relate to health...simple, but profound and life-changing."

What Is Chiro Finishing School?

Chiro FINISHING SCHOOL is a completely new and unique online business training course. Also, once you are enrolled in the program you will have the opportunity to attend our Live Business-Mastery Intensive Bootcamp 3-day Business Training (see below for details).

Each month, you will have online access to a new video module, featuring Rick Sapio with support from Dr. Patrick Gentempo. Each module has a companion guide and additional assignments. You will learn why to 'not be addicted to yes' and the 'simplicity imperative'...or why you need a 'doorman' guarding who you let into your business and life. In all, there over 4 years of material, with the first year of the program teaching you the 12 Foundation Principles of Business (one each month).

The power is in the simplicity! Each module is 30 - 60 minutes long and can be accessed by one computer (1 IP address) that you register for the course. From each module, you will learn the business principle and there will be discussion as to how it applies to chiropractic practice. The design is for you to be able to apply what you've learned to your practice immediately. If this seems overly simple, it is because it is! These concepts are easy to understand and put into action. When you apply them they are game-changing. Here are the module descriptions for year one:


Module 1
  Values-Based Decision Making
You will learn one of the most important "rules" regarding long-term business and personal success, i.e. how to institute a "values-based culture", in order to create a sustainable business. This lesson will show you how to leverage yourself and your business so that you can accomplish more, with less investment of time and resources.
Module 2
  Life and Business "Catalyzing Statement" and Management-by-Objectives ("MBO")
An age-old business principle, brought current with the introduction of the "Catalyzing Statement". You will learn how to use a Catalyzing Statement, and MBO, to pull everyone in your organization onto the same page, in order that they all "sing from the same sheet of music." This organizing principle will add predictability to your business.
Module 3
  Using Rhythms to Amplify Time and Success
It's been said that successful businesses are comprised of good habits, and unsuccessful businesses are comprised of bad habits. You will learn how to institute rhythms and habits into your culture, so that your organization is not reliant only on you.
Module 4
  New Profit Paradigm
In 2011 and beyond, organizations need to learn how to partner, outsource, and leverage resources, so that they can do more with less. Here you will learn how to align all resources to produce the most value in the marketplace, in order to achieve more success.
Module 5
  Business Entity Structure to Leverage Long-Term Wealth
Businesses that have thrived for many decades understand that there are universal rules for success built around organizational structure. Most entrepreneurs believe that wealth is created by taking money out of a business, when the opposite is often true. You will learn how to maximize wealth opportunities inside your business.
Module 6
  Lessons from The Billionaire Mind
Rick has spent time with 14 self-made billionaires, and 11 other individuals that have achieved much in the world. He will share with you many common traits that they possess, that you can implement in your life. Even if your goal is not to become a billionaire, you will learn an immense amount in this session.
Module 7
  The Battleship Principle (Asset Protection)
In order to sustain themselves, long-term growth companies possess many common traits. Many of these companies started as one-person operations. You will learn how to fortify your business to withstand the sometimes harsh realities of a long-term existence.
Module 8
  Simplicity On The Far Side Of Complexity
Having a successful business life and personal life is often far simpler than most of us believe. You will learn how to focus, organize for success, and leverage your resources to produce more with less, while creating more profits and impact. On a personal level, you will learn how to organize your family life, so that all of your priorities are getting the attention they deserve.
Module 9
  Rules-Based Business Decisions
Many small businesses operate in a sometimes random fashion. Here you will learn how to add predictability to your business. You will be introduced to the concept of "having a deliberate business." The goal is to allow you to be fulfilled, achieve your goals, lower your stress, and have impactful employees.
Module 10
  5,200% Rule:  How To Consistently Hire And Attract Talent
There are universal principles around attracting talent that are often overlooked by over-committed small business owners. Here you will learn insights about the difficult task of recruiting and interviewing potential employees that you've likely never heard before. Many Chiropractors don't realize how much poor talent is holding them back in business.
Module 11
  The Stop Doing List: How The Ability To Say "No" Will Transform Your Business And Your Life
You will learn that your "To-Do List" is a thing of the past. You will see that many of the things you are currently doing are moving you away from long-term success, not toward it. This module promises to bring you breakthroughs in thinking that will have immediate impact.
Module 12
  Lifelong Investing Success
Many chiros and small business entrepreneurs often are the worst investors. You will learn principles that are easy to implement, and that have long-term impact. You'll notice a common theme in all of these modules around values like "Simplicity" and "Leverage", and this certainly applies to investing as well. We find that people tend to complicate, rather than simplify, and we will illuminate the difference.

Year one of the program is about the 12 Foundational Principles of Business, described above. Year two is about Business Acceleration, which teaches you how to leverage what you learned in year one. Year three is about personal and business accountability, and year four is about legacy, i.e. your personal and business legacy, and what you can do to alter them.

"Chiro Business Finishing School has been an amazing source of business knowledge. Information I've learned and implemented in my practice has radically improved our operations by making us more efficient and effective.

Procedures such as 'values-based decision making' have helped to automate our business decision-making process. Decisions taking days to finalize are now made in an instant. Rick Sapio's teachings about 'management-by-objectives' allow me to manage, not micromanage, my staff. All 8 employees are crystal clear on what is expected of them and by when, which includes self-evaluation and knowing exactly how they are performing at any given time. Chiro Business Finishing School principles have freed-up my time to be used for its highest and best value. My practice immediately grew by over 25% and now my staff generates more new patients that I do all. I look forward to learning more."

"Start looking at yourself as the CEO of your own practice. Chiro Business Finishing School gives you the tools and the strategies to take your business to the next level, so you can REALLY make a bigger and more positive impact in the lives of others and in your community. I love the program."

Nathalie Beauchamp, D.C.

"Chiro Business Finishing School has transformed our office. We utilize these business principles at staff meetings and trainings to hone our mission, vision and purpose. We now have all staff members engaged, motivated, and inspired to help us serve others. Starting with the 'doorman principle' and 'values-based decision making' helped us recognize that our values must match the decisions we make. Each meeting incorporates the 'management-by-objectives' goals for every team member, as well as our company as a whole. I have personally implemented all of the rhythms, rituals, habits, patterns, and meetings into my life; and put it to paper – very powerful. Chiro Business Finishing School will transform our profession."

Mike Acanfora, D.C.

"I've been in practice 27 years, managed multiple offices and have been very successful. I have had many ups and downs. Chiro Business Finishing School is NOT a seminar or learning experience like any other. It is the foundation, the standards and principles of business which will allow you to make any of the other seminars a successful venture. I completed the first module about five weeks ago. The re-foundation I am creating from that module will certainly make me millions of dollars in the next few years! It will enable me to serve many more patients more effectively. Our offices are already being transformed and the result is a passion that is naturally coming forth from the entire staff."

Steve Hoody, D.C.
New York Total Health Centers

"The most impressive thing about Chiro Business Finishing School is how tangible the advice is. After each recorded module I have a handful of axioms that I can start implementing in my practice immediately. Rick Sapio presents his knowledge in a very accessible, layperson manner. Salient examples on how to apply these business principles immediately to my chiropractic office are invaluable. Rick's clear presentation and focused message helps you marry principles to practice."

Jessica Dietrich-Marsh, D.C.
Southern Pines Chiropractic Center
Pelham, AL

"Chiro Business Finishing School is the best business program I've been through BY FAR in my career. I have implemented many of the things taught; including a pay-for-performance system for our employees, so raises are not automatic. Most importantly, I have become clear on what I want, removed certain people and things in my life that did not contribute to achieving my goals, and I say NO far more often. My mantra lately is 'better small pain now, for long term benefit later vs. small benefit now for long term pain later.' Thanks for all you do!"

David A. Packer, D.C.
Precision Spinal Care

"I've been looking for Chiro Business Finishing School my whole life. Becoming a chiropractor has satisfied the 'helping people' part; and Chiro Business Finishing School is greatly assisting me to reach my goal of having a successful business. What's particularly helpful is Rick Sapio telling us how he lives his life and runs his businesses and then explaining how this information is integrated into practice. This is what makes the program so inspirational and invaluable. Chiro Business Finishing School turns the overwhelming process of learning to manage a business, into a plug and play system. As with anything worth doing, you have to do the work, but the CBFS roadmap makes the work efficient and effective.

Thanks so much again and again."
