I have a dream that’s playing out in scores of practices now, where host doctors are building their team driven practice, moving to an associate driven practice and they're raising up associates that we call in TLC, matriarch or patriarch associates. These are associates that are never going to leave. Now, there's ways to get this that you have to be clear about. The first associate that you get is looked at as the one that must be the matriarch or patriarch. After you have a matriarch or patriarch associate, it’s fine to hire ones that will come and go every two years because you can help them go out and open their own practice but you can't start with that. You got to start with attracting a doctor that’s going to raise your ADP or associate driven practice. The practice you're in, doctors, must be called the flagship training ed course. In other words, as you open up other practices, no one is ever hired to work at those other practices. They are hired and they train. A CA must train three to six months at the flagship training ed course before they can be set free in a satellite practice. There's a lot of rules about raising the associate driven practice that maybe the first thing you do with an associate is they must be loyal to the one practice, the flagship practice. They must work with you, doctors as we’ll one day be the CAs and everything else. There's a bunch of rules to all this. The joy, of course, is you get to stop working in it and you get to start working on it. Be careful, as I said, that’s a cliché that’s been used in a lot of business models. That’s nice and sweet but a lot of people who use it and bring it to chiropractic didn’t live in the chiropractic practice practicing for 10, 20, 30 years, staying married for 10, 20, 30 years, making sure that the kids they had have one set of parents for 10, 20, 30 years. Guys, if I sound like I'm preaching stuff that upsets you, well, you know what, maybe that’s the stuff you need to hear. This profession needs leaders that are here to protect marriages, here to protect family, here to
