Episode Synopsis

This week, I’m talking about what real growth looks like when a practice outgrows its space, and how the next move feels both exciting and terrifying. We’re preparing to move, so I’ll take you through what it’s like expanding into a new building, the hidden costs that come with change, and why progress often shows up disguised as stress first.I also revisit the early days: delayed openings, unexpected obstacles, and the relentless hustle required before a single patient ever walks through the door.Sometimes you have to pause, reflect, and ask: where did this all start, and where could it go next?What you’ll learn about in this episode:What inspired the decision to expand into a significantly larger clinic building.How major clinic moves commonly create short-term drops in patient volume.Why operational changes can disrupt established systems and daily workflows.How repeated staff training becomes essential during periods of rapid transition.Scheduling strategies that reduce patient disruption during a condensed moving timeline.How early licensing and regulatory obstacles delayed our initial clinic opening plans.The emotional realization of success occurring before patient care officially begins.Why acknowledging progress strengthens resilience during demanding growth phases.The long-term vision that extends beyond daily adjustments and clinical routines.How hiring challenges increase as clinic scale and operational complexity grow.What behind-the-scenes systems support sustainable multi-location expansion plans.How year-end reflection can help out clearer goal setting for the coming year. Our website: https://pathtovictorychiro.com Our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victoryspinalcare
