In every health related field you can find someone earning less than they once did or less than they would like to. Many have survived serious dips in income from home health care to assisted living to pharmacy. And no, this does not apply to everyone.
Some are going crazy with success while others may not be experiencing instant heightened success but you can tell that their business realignment is taking them to a better place. What is making the difference? In a word, "performance" and it's a much bigger term than you might think.
It is how that performance energy is used that makes the difference. It is not best used being busy threatening people whom we feel, in our deeply held insecurity, have become less loyal to us, sort of like the kid on the playground who is mad that the more popular kids are having more fun. What a most unneeded distraction! Here we speak about investing into specifically designed strategies aimed at growth so let's call your competitors the popular kids.
Managing distractions must be a large part of how we perform.
Regardless of your politics, think about President Barack Obama and his response to the group known as the "birthers" who question the legitimacy of the election that placed him into office by claiming he was not born on American soil. In response he produced an original birth certificate. Now think for a moment.
How much has he continued to discuss it? Almost not at all. He is not wasting energy on the thought of being vindictive or taking the next shot. He has too much to do. And so do you. Your performance has to demonstrate similar discipline.
What else does the word performance really involve? It involves taking that day or two and staring your competitors in the face. Why stare? You want to know what they are doing, how, for whom and how you can capitalize on their weaknesses. This is an "only the strong survive" environment.
