This week’s TMD is an extension of last week’s discussion about connecting with your peers. Dr. Jay is talking about how he is fat #AF right now (it’s ok he said it, not us) and how connecting with his peers is helping him do something about it.
Accountability Group
In this week’s video, Dr. Jay talks about how he is 10 lbs overweight and how in a recent discussion with his peers they talked about fitness levels, dealing with stress, and maintaining fitness. He and his peers decided to challenge each other and agreed that they were all going to work out at least 3 times a week.
This accountability group inspired him, made him accountable, and motivated him to actually make sure he worked out 3 times a week. Even when we think we are intrinsically motivated sometimes it is not enough. Sometimes you need that group of peers to motivate you.
Here is a suggestion for you:
Set a target or goal.
Tell a couple of friends your goal and have them share theirs with you so you are accountable to each other.
If you stumble, don’t give up. If you miss a day or a week, don’t give up. Just get back on track and make those tiny little atomic habits big over time.
Keep watching and maybe next month Dr. Jay will share an update on his weight loss journey.
Now we are all his accountability partners.
We want to hear what you are working on. Share with us on our Facebook page who your accountability partners are and what goal you are working toward.
Your questions and feedback are always welcome and appreciated!

It’s a new week and a new location for this week’s TMD. This past weekend Dr. Jay was at an entrepreneurial chiropractic event and shares his experiences and how you can get the most out of similar events.
Getting the most out of conferences
In this week’s video, Dr. Jay reflects on three things he experienced while at an entrepreneurial chiropractic event this past weekend.
Open up your peer network and spend time with colleagues. This allows you to share ideas, challenges, and frustrations, and get ways to make your practice and your life better. Connecting with others is really important as human beings.
Listen to new ideas. These ideas may or may not conflict with some of your beliefs. It is not a bad thing to open up your mind and hear what others are saying.
Research what you hear. Is what you hear real? Are people telling the truth? Are they giving you new facts/new ideas/new concepts? Take what you need from those things that you learn (from the speaker, connecting with your peers, and researching those ideas) and apply them to your life in the best way possible.
In summary, expand your peer group and connect with some colleagues this week, listen to/read about new ideas that may conflict with your existing ideas, and research what you are learning, and apply what you need to to make your life and your practice better.
We want to hear what you are doing. Share with us on our Facebook page all how you are planning to connect with colleagues this summer.

Where in the world is Dr. Jay this week? Watch this week’s TMD to see where he spent the weekend and his message on giving your brain a break so you can get into the highest state of flow.
Go do something for yourself
The last couple of weeks we have talked about stepping out of your comfort zone and the importance of messaging over and over the same thing so people hear it in a different context. This week is something different, it’s not really about business or personal development. It’s about making sure you take some time out to take care of yourself.
As entrepreneurs we are working our butts off, working days/nights/weekends. We never stop working. We can get a little bit burnout or stale sometimes. The business and personal development literature have both shown it is really important to take time off. You have to stop working, shut your computer, and go do something for yourself. Try hanging out at a new place or visit a favorite old place, hang out with family/friends/kids/pets, whatever brings you joy. It is important you take some time out and refresh so when you get back to your business you can be in the highest state of flow because you’ve given your brain a break
This week’s challenge: find some time and give your brain a break. Go have some fun. Go out. Enjoy life. That’s why we work so hard so we can have the freedom to enjoy our lives
We want to hear what you are doing. Share with us on our Facebook page all of the great things you are doing this week to take care of yourself and enjoy life.

This week Dr. Jay is bringing you the Two Minute Drill from beautiful Utah. It is the perfect location for this week’s TMD, which is about a President who came out west after suffering a significant tragedy in his life. Check out this week’s video, where Dr. Jay reviews leadership lessons that can be learned from this story.
Step out of your comfort zone
This week’s TMD is about a President who came out west after suffering a significant tragedy in his life. Theodore Roosevelt lost his mom and his wife on the same day. He decided to leave politics and come out west to get away from it all. He realized he needed to face his fears, needed to do the things that were most difficult, stepping out of his comfort zone in order to become a better version of himself.
Dr. Jay is currently reading the book, Leadership: In Turbulent Times by Doris Kearns Goodwin and shares a passage from the book about President Roosevelt. Some lessons that stood out as keys for leadership are:
Cultivate courage as a matter of habit
Repeated effort and repeated exercise of willpower
Wanted to set a leadership example
Perseverance was the key to his success
Anticipate the behavior
Hoped example of acquired courage would prove instructive
Two weeks ago Dr. Jay talked about the importance of stepping out of our comfort zone and that’s exactly what one of the greatest presidents in our nation’s history did. He didn’t just step out of his comfort zone, he faced his biggest fears. When we are dealing with practice and life, sometimes we have to step out of our comfort zone and face those biggest fears head-on as if we weren’t afraid at all.
Share with us on our Facebook page what your biggest fears that you are working to overcome.
