What if I told you that fear could keep you from reaching your financial goals—just like it kept me off my mountain bike for five years? Sounds crazy, right? But it’s true. (long story short, I had a terrible crash and that fear kept me off my bike for FIVE YEARS!!! When I started back up I had to ‘commit to pedaling’ which helped me put the fear in the back seat.)

Many chiropractors avoid dealing with their finances out of fear. Fear of messing up, fear of not understanding, fear of facing the numbers.

The problem? Avoidance doesn’t fix anything—it just creates more stress. In this post, I’ll show you how shifting your mindset and committing to pedaling (yes, even when you’re scared) can transform the way you manage your chiropractic business finances.

Why We Avoid Finances

Most people aren’t avoiding their money because they don’t care—they avoid it because they’re afraid. Maybe you’ve had a bad financial experience in the past, or maybe no one ever taught you how to properly manage a business. Either way, avoidance leads to financial instability, stress, and missed opportunities.

How to Overcome Financial Fear and Take Control

1. Acknowledge the Fear – Recognize that fear is just a cue, not a roadblock.
2. Reframe Your Thoughts – Instead of “I’m not a numbers person,” say, “I’m capable of learning.”
3. Take Imperfect Action – Waiting for everything to be perfect means you’ll never start.
4. Shift to a Proactive Money Mindset – Just like with chiropractic care, proactive is always better than reactive.

The Solution: Commit to Pedaling

Just like I had to get back on my bike and trust the process, you have to commit to managing your business finances. That means learning how to budget, allocate money, plan for taxes, and create financial stability for yourself and your family.

That’s why I created Business Financial Foundations for Chiropractors, a course designed to give you the financial knowledge you never got in school. Check it out on my website (if it’s after May 2025).
