Have You Hit The Ceiling of Complexity?

I receive many messages and calls from chiropractors struggling to make it to the next level. Whether they need to get to cash flow confidence or how to get to the next phase of growth, the Ceiling of Complexity is a common problem amongst entrepreneurs and/or chiropractic practice owners. 

 

In this episode, I discuss Strategic Coach’s concept of Ceiling of Complexity and how it relates to your chiropractic practice. 

 

Here is a short excerpt from Strategic Coach on Ceiling of Complexity to provide you with some context. 

 

“All the growth in a person’s life occurs in stages. Within each stage, the individual comes to a point where it is not possible to base further growth upon their existing knowledge and skills: The individual has reached a Ceiling of Complexity™. Sometimes this ceiling is permanent, which is why many people fail to grow beyond a particular stage of development. 

The problem is experience.

Within each stage, we gain experience by solving problems and transacting business. However, this experience has a price—each solved problem, every transaction, adds complexity to our lives. At a certain point, the growth of complexity prevents any further growth of capability, performance, or achievement. 

A new state of simplicity is required.

No further progress is possible because the existing stage of growth is filled with the complexity of expe­rience—the messes, stuff, details, complications, conflicts, and contradic­tions that come from doing things a certain way for a long time. One thing immediately becomes clear: Working harder and longer in the existing stage no longer works; in fact, it becomes counterproductive.

A new set of concepts and strategies is needed to achieve a new state of simplicity. It is this new simplicity of thinking, communicating, and per­forming that enables an individual to break through the ceiling.

All stages of individual growth come from having goals—desiring some­thing new, better, and different. At first, goals liberate and motivate us; once achieved, they hobble and hinder us. Working to achieve a set of goals motivates us to develop specific relationships, structures, and personal habits. Once the goals are achieved, these same relationships, structures, and habits—now firmly entrenched—form The Ceiling of Complexity that prevents the next stage of growth. People become pris­oners of their own success, sometimes for the rest of their lives.”

 

I hope you enjoy this episode and know that there is help available if you need to break through the ceiling.
