While always having a
seeking spirit, Jill Jordan began researching the self help industry
over 15 years ago. What began as mere curiosity and desire to
improve her own life quickly became a mission to guide all people to
their own success, health and happiness. While researching this
in-depth and inspiring field, Jill worked in the medical field and
behavior services field for over 16 years, some of those years
specializing in children and family services. While it was somewhat
fulfilling in that she was able to change lives on a daily basis,
she soon realized that by the time people are ill they must seek
help. She decided she would like to reach people before they become
desperate or diseased. Jill was motivated to find a way to guide
people to the best life they could live. She became empowered by the
idea that a resource must be available to improve lives in every
area when people are seeking to feel better, and not waiting until
they are broken, or diseased. Yet, that same resource would also be
the guidance system to help those as well. That resource is
SelfHelpCenters.com. Jill is also the producer and host of the
upcoming television show The Power of You.

Chiropractors:
Ivan Delman, D.C.
Company:
Business of Chiropractic Pub.
Dr. Delman's first degree was in business management. For twenty years his career focused on the management of manufacturing plants, car racing-related businesses, and then specializing in personal injury claims for the insurance industry.
He then became a chiropractor and for eighteen years successfully practiced that profession until retiring to travel around the USA.
As he and his wife traveled around the country, they visited many chiropractors and other healthcare practitioners.
He discovered that, although many practitioners were excellent professional technicians, many struggled to keep their practices alive because they didn't know basic business concepts.
After discussing their various business problems with Dr. Delman, he would outline some simple solutions.
Using his business recommendations, the practitioners found it easier to manage their offices, with sometimes dramatic increases in cash flow and major decreases in problem areas. Dr. Delman realized that there was a business crisis developing in many single-owner health practices, due to decreased income from managed care, increased competition, and a lack of general business knowledge among practitioners.
Dr. Delman continues to provide realistic business advice to fellow chiropractors through articles, his e-mail newsletter, Chiro-Biz and special presentations.
