What's being sick costing you?
You see, the smartest investors they don't only look at what the actual cost of the investment is going to be. They also look at what it would cost them not to invest. Let me give you a real life example.
We have an awesome practice member. Her name is Amanda. She's a respiratory therapist and one of the things that she shared when she started chiropractic care in our office was that she thought it was too expensive for her. She was like, "I don't know. This is really expensive." But in the end she made the decision to start care with us and to start living her Life By Design.
Amanda presently works at the hospital. Last year, during 'flu season', something cool happened. Everyone on her floor got sick (that's not the cool part) EXCEPT for her (this is the cool part!). So she got to work a lot of over time. And all of that overtime not only paid for her care, but also paid for her vacation, paid for her gym membership, and paid for all of the Christmas gifts that she wanted to buy her family (and she has a big family!).
So I think you would agree that this is a great concrete example of somebody who was willing to invest in their health and it actually paid them back in tangible money.
I want you to do an exercise today.
Ask yourself, how much is it 'costing' you to not be able to do the things that you love to do? How much is it 'costing' you to not to be able to pick up your grandchildren? How much is it 'costing' you for you not to be able to play three rounds of golf in a week? The point is, all these things have a price tag associated with them.
So when it comes time to investing in your health, you not only have to look at how much it's going to cost you to make that investment, but you also have to take into account the money that you could be losing by not making that investment.
I'm confident that if you start to look at your health as a series of investments you'll begin to look at how you spend your money on health care in a completely new way.
