$7-Figure Chiro Practice: The System That Runs Itself
"If you have no money, you have no mission." Dr. Jesse Jacobs, founder of FreeForm Chiropractic, reveals how he built a $7-figure, 9-location practice by shifting from "healer" to "CEO." Discover why "skill doesn't scale" (but systems do) and how to pass the 90-day test that proves you own a business, not just a high-paying job.
Episode Details
For most chiropractors, there's a hard ceiling. You can be the best adjuster in the world, but you'll eventually get trapped—handcuffed to your practice, unable to take a vacation without everything grinding to a halt.
In this episode, Dr. Jesse Jacobs of FreeForm Chiropractic (currently opening his ninth location) delivers the hard truth: to build a scalable, 7-figure practice, you must be a better business person than you are a chiropractor.
Dr. Jacobs argues that "skill doesn't scale, but systems do". He shares his evolution from a "farmer doctor" focused only on patients to a CEO focused on "people, process, procedures, and performance."
We dive deep into the essential systems for a practice that runs itself, including:
- The 90-Day Test: What happens if you leave your practice for 90 days? If it doesn't grow without you, you don't have a business—you have a job.
- Data Over Drama: How "low data = high drama." Dr. Jacobs explains why he tracks net profit and margins, not just top-line revenue.
- Culture & Core Values: Why he hires for core values (not resumes) and how he built a culture so strong it weeds out bad hires within a week.
- Simplicity Scales: He shares the $200k lesson he learned from bailing on medical integration and why "in order to scale, you must simplify everything."
If you're ready to escape the "founder dependence" trap and build a business that gives you true freedom, this episode is your blueprint.
