Often children dream of becoming a firefighter when they grow up.
It would appear that some Chiropreneurs have never dropped the dream as they spend more time putting out fires in their practice than they do leading their practice to greatness.

A decision is not poured into concrete.
You can always change it, if a better decision is available.
