Exponential Momentum Multiplier 27:21

27:21

If you haven’t reached your goal with your practice yet, growing it can feel like a slog. You work hard and do everything experts tell you to do. But you’re still not booked out. If that’s the case, you’re missing one thing: Momentum. Momentum multiplies the value you get out of your work and lets you get more results out of the same work. And the …

How The "STS" Method Will Get You More Patients Fast, Part 1 26:09

26:09

When you first started your practice, you probably thought it would be easy: Do some marketing to get patients every week, treat them and live a happy life full of impact. But along the way, things probably started to seem a lot more complicated. And most practitioners find one thing most complicated: Getting Patients. Maybe you’ve also tried metho…

Take Your Practice To The Next Level With Amplified Growth Momentum 20:25

5y ago20:25

20:25

Most holistic practitioners think they’ll take the straight road to success. They believe one thing will lead to the next and they’ll see dozens of smiling patients per day. But when reality kicks in and things outside of their control happen, they fight what’s happening instead of focusing on making a bigger impact and building their dream practic…

The Biggest Self-Limiting Factor Of Them All 24:40

5y ago24:40

24:40

As a holistic practitioner, you’re probably critical of some of the practices of the allopathic medical community. One of the most common criticisms is the greed of big pharma companies. But when it comes down to it, even many acupuncturists are greedy. Because greed isn’t just a money-addiction. In this episode, you’ll find out how greed sneaks in…

Big Impact Requires Big Decisions. Here's How To Make Them 23:40

5y ago23:40

23:40

Impact is the no. 1 thing holistic practitioners strive for. It’s watching your patients enter with a frown and leave with a smile that really drives us. But most practices don’t create maximum impact. Most practitioners don’t get patients results, get distracted by their emotions instead of being present with their patients and slack off on their …

Avoid Self-Sabotage By Understanding This Important Principle 21:50

5y ago21:50

21:50

If you think of success in your practice, what do you think of? You probably imagine some highlight reel. A patient brought to tears after your treatment changed his life, a packed schedule and an income that affords you your dream lifestyle. Those magical moments exist. And if you follow the proven path to a successful practice, you will have thos…

The REAL (counterintuitive) Key To Personalized Patient Care. 14:22

5y ago14:22

14:22

Each patient who comes to you is unique. They have unique problems and require unique solutions. Unlike conventional doctors, we don’t see our patients as numbers in a spreadsheet. But how do you know what treatment your patients really need? If you do this the wrong way, you’ll not only lose them after a few (or a single) appointments, but they’ll…

Being a holistic practitioner isn’t just a job. It’s really a mission. But it’s also a journey. On your journey, you’ll hear a lot of people talk about you. Some will praise you, others will talk behind your back. The only thing you can control is you. And you’re who controls whether your journey ends with a flourishing practice full of patients or…

You’ve encountered your fair share of obstacles on your journey to running the practice you want to run. Some of them might be physical (i.e. not having your own location), others might be skill-related (need to go back to school), but the most challenging obstacles are emotional ones.

Knowledge vs. Power - It's Not What You Think, Part 3 12:00

5+ y ago12:00

12:00

Many holistic practitioners like to talk about the universe giving them something or about putting their intentions into the universe. All of that might sound nice, but the truth is: The universe doesn’t really care all that much and it’s you who has to make things happen. In this episode, you’ll hear how to take responsibility and make things happ…

As a holistic practitioner, you’re always trying to attract patients to your practice.

Knowledge vs. Power - It's Not What You Think, Part 1 16:18

5+ y ago16:18

16:18

All sorts of “experts” and professors like to say it: Knowledge is power. Reading every book on earth doesn’t grow your practice. Information by itself doesn’t change patient’s lives or attract more patients to you. When you take the wrong actions, you might take 10 years for the same progress others reach in months. The truth is: Knowledge and pow…

You can have a filled practice that serves hundreds of patients a week. But when you don’t have a process for healing them, they’ll abandon you.

You’re on a journey. A journey to become a sought-after practitioner that heals people. But there’s no straight road to any place worth going, and you eventually face challenges.

Effortless Retention And Eternal Referrals, Part 2 23:40

5+ y ago23:40

23:40

Your patients are the lifeblood of your practice. Without them, you’re not making any money or impacting any lives. That’s why it’s so heartbreaking to see them leave, whether they decided to not work with you (anymore) or chose a different treatment. You can do better. And in this episode, you’ll hear how you can get your patients to keep coming b…

As a natural practitioner, some traditional business skills (marketing, selling, accounting…) probably don’t come naturally to you. And that’s fine. After all, you focus on serving a purpose, not on clawing at every penny you can make. But to have a thriving practice and a filled calendar, you don’t need to be a cold-hearted business person.

30:52

If you’re like most people, you can think back to a time where you seriously embarrassed yourself. We call moments “embarrassing” when we unintentionally break rules everybody else abides by. Usually, somebody explains the rules to you. But when it comes to building a thriving practice, most of us simply don’t have any successful practitioners to c…

When you sit down to create something that attracts patients, what do you do? You probably sit down and you get “empty page syndrome”. You start to type, you delete. You type again, delete again until you decide to take a coffee break. Many practitioners find it hard to tune into their unique voice when they have to create marketing material. If th…

You’ve probably heard it a hundred times: Having a burning passion for what you do will help you through struggle, will let you strive ever higher and your conviction will attract patients like an industrial magnet.
