Why did you choose to become a chiropractor?  Why did you choose to practice where you are?  If you can answer those questions with authenticity then you have a story to tell. 

In my instance, I became a chiropractor because my father had a health problem that was resolved through chiropractic care.  It was not unusual for me to go to the chiropractor's office with my dad and I was impressed with the office environment and the friendliness to the staff and how my father responded to care. 

As the years moved forward and the time came to make a decision as to my future, the idea of becoming a chiropractor fit quite well.  I chose to return to my hometown to practice...a marvelous community on the ocean, proximal to Boston and all the pluses the community had to offer. 

I do not know how many times I shared that story with people that I would meet; but somehow this story resonated with them and, in time, many became patients of mine.  The story was true and the words I chose to use were congruent with my inner being...warm and believable.

What is your story?  Is it real or contrived? 

People who you have not met before and who you come in contact with you on a daily basis are truly interested in "your story."  If it is fabricated and not one of congruency, it then becomes a fable and people know it.
