The thing that would come out of this was just a release from... what I did to my life, besides all the problems, like the legal issues. Sure. I made myself feel like shit for no reason until I wanted to release from all the hard things I had to do and how pointlessly hard I made my life. Do you feel a release?

Hey, my name is Joshua. I'm actually a chiropractor as well.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Make Your Offer So Good They Feel Dumb Saying No | Ep 884
That's funny. Yeah. So me and my wife, we run a family chiropractic center in the UK. Cool. And our current revenue is around $750. We'd like to get it to $2.3. Perfect the model and then scale. Okay. This is what is currently my predicament. So we averaged 48 new clients per month last year consistently from two main channels, referral and Facebook meta.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Make Your Offer So Good They Feel Dumb Saying No | Ep 884
What was the split? So it's 35% referrals, 65% ads. Got it. Yeah. And excuse me.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Make Your Offer So Good They Feel Dumb Saying No | Ep 884
Yeah. So my question, and I think what's stopping me is determining where I should be focusing because we get great results for clients like they get, but you know, even if they have an amazing result, like a lot of those clients leave, which is fine. And then they need us. It's terrible. Yeah. And I'd love to have more clients to stay with us longer term from like a membership perspective.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Make Your Offer So Good They Feel Dumb Saying No | Ep 884
And when I looked at our churn retention rates, our gross retention rate is 47%. And then our net retention rate is 74%. So once we've done expansions, upsells and everything else, it brings it up, but we still lose a lot of, we leave a lot of money on the table on the, because we're losing. You lose half your customers. Correct. But you keep a little bit more revenue.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Make Your Offer So Good They Feel Dumb Saying No | Ep 884
So you're talking revenue retention versus low. So I'm like, which one do I focus on? Do we expand the marketing and just keep pumping the machine? Because I literally feel like you. I've got to a stage in my business where I'm still in the clinic, still serving patients. I love my clients. Yeah.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Make Your Offer So Good They Feel Dumb Saying No | Ep 884
But like, you know, even if they've had an amazing change in their life, like it's like you with the weight loss. Like I've got to the point now where I'm like, man, like this doesn't excite me anymore. Yeah. I know I can help serve more people if I can just become more of the owner rather than the operator. I've stepped my shifts down from, you know, five days a week to like two now.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Make Your Offer So Good They Feel Dumb Saying No | Ep 884
We own the building.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Make Your Offer So Good They Feel Dumb Saying No | Ep 884
Oh, outfit it. So we, so we're pretty lean. Like we outfitted our current one. That was a hundred thousand. Okay. Got it. What's profit? We kind of keep it. We've kept it low the last few years, but we, yeah, it's like, it's like 13%. Okay. Yeah. So you need to fix that. Yeah. Okay. So it sounds like there's a lot of like, you know, owner's earnings and stuff.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Make Your Offer So Good They Feel Dumb Saying No | Ep 884
So me and my wife, we draw 100K. Uh-huh.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Make Your Offer So Good They Feel Dumb Saying No | Ep 884
We're already the most premium in our like area. Like. Well, then it won't change. You'll still be the most premium. Okay. And which one would you focus on then? Would you just focus on like just filling the front end or would you try and fix that? Cause you talked about like fix the chair and like get it to less than three. Like, or would you double down on both? Like would that be.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Make Your Offer So Good They Feel Dumb Saying No | Ep 884
Well, if you keep half your customers, you're pretty close to three.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Make Your Offer So Good They Feel Dumb Saying No | Ep 884
Right. When we track it, it varies between three and seven depending on the month.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Make Your Offer So Good They Feel Dumb Saying No | Ep 884

As they're going room by room clearing out these terrace, the ranger testified he was peeking around the corner to see who had come out and her biological mother ran out screaming and he said she blew herself up about 15 feet from him and he noticed something moving on the ground and that's where he saw Sparrow.

That is nice. You feel that? This was a bunch of service members from the Rangers to the medical staff at Bagram, where she lived for five months in a combat trauma center where they're treating like catastrophic injuries, like double amputations. And she was like a contrast in this world of hurt that they can make a difference for.

We did what anyone else would do. We said, hey, we've gone and gotten legal responsibility in the United States because we believe she was foreign. We believe she was an orphan and she does not have any family. And she has the opportunity to fly to the United States before the Taliban take over, send her. And this guy told me maybe a dozen times that he wasn't responsible.
