Wednesday Nov 07, 2018
Sometimes, people tend to overthink. They are scared to do or take the next step in their practice or profession for the thought that it might not work in their favor.
The more time that we spend on thinking on the bad things that will happen, we lose the opportunity to grow. Take that step and you’ll never know, it might be the best thing that will happen to you.
On this episode, we have Dr. Keltie Warren. She graduated from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College last 2013. She owns Warren’s Chiropractic Café of life.
Dr. Keltie talks about how she got into Chiropractic. She shares her struggles with the practice and how she was able to overcome it. She also provided tips on how to be able to practice chiropractic successfully. Get all the resources for this episode and listen to more at http://www.drdonmacdonald.com/
