How to Make Your Posture Practice a Mindset Monopoly

Everyone in business understands the concept of monopolies. A monopoly is defined as “the exclusive possession or control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service.”

Monopolies have been criticized throughout history because they allow one person or enterprise to control the market and buying behaviors of the mass population. Thus making it difficult for small businesses to compete with monopoly enterprises.

Kjell Nordstrom, a highly influential economist and business thought leader, suggests that although physical monopolies may be illegal in the consumer market, mental monopolies are not only legal, but they are the recipe to business success.

What is a mindset monopoly? Simply put, mindset monopolies are those companies that occupy the majority of market space in the consumer’s mind. The businesses you can’t ignore. The companies that impact your subconscious mind and influence your consumer behaviors.

When I say “functional exercise,” what is the first thing that comes to your mind? …Crossfit. Why is Crossfit the first thing you think of?

Crossfit has created a mental monopoly in modern-day society in the niche of functional exercise. Even non-Crossfit enthusiasts and WOD-avoiders can’t help but think of Crossfit when someone mentions the phrase “functional exercise.” By specializing within an overcrowded market of exercise fads, Crossfit has created a mindset monopoly, and they have created massive success as an enterprise.

How can you take this idea of a mindset monopoly and implement it? How can you become so memorable that healthcare consumers simply can’t ignore you? Is it possible that your Posture Practice could be the next Crossfit?

Absolutely.
