Dr. Kevin met Dr. Selina the first day of classes at Life Univ. They later married and have 2 daughters, Kinna and Kloe.
Hobbies: working out, golf, sporting clays and working with Chester, his yellow lab.
It all starts the first time you talk with the patient. This is your staff. The phone call, greeting, screening, event, or dinner.
Day 1; critical to connect and be the authority.
X-rays/testing; explain why you are doing each test and relate it back to their health and your recommendations.
Vision/goals; this is the most critical step to establish a deep connection to have them want and understand the need for chiropractic lifetime care.
Our IN8LIFE weight loss system will convert nearly every weight loss client to chiropractic care.
Other programs separate the 2 which will kill your conversions.
Shake programs
Learning all the weight loss supplements and vitamins
Hand scanner
Blood work, thyroid testing, urine analysis, and stool samples
Fad diets like Ketogenic, paleo, and intermittent fasting
These have all been around and can help lose weight, but will NOT combine how and why they need chiropractic care.
Ours will deliver with a proven system, fast results, and long term success.

Get all history related questions, step by step and make sure to get their goals!
Important that staff does this portion. You will lose authority if you do history and play doctor as well.
You must greet and have authority in the first minute. If you blow this, it is all uphill.
YES! You need to address their symptoms and what they came in for. Then you will turn it around as you explain the system.
Bridging the gap between weight loss and chiropractic is an art. YOU CAN DO IT! When you master this - you will master day 1.
Day 1 connection and Day 2 ROF are the MOST important part of growing your practice and making money.
Day 1 Weight loss questions and objections
"I have a chiropractor"
"I didn't know this is a chiropractors office or about chiropractic"
"I just want to lose weight"
"I don't want chiropractic"
Day 2 ROF
You must answer their question before they ask!
You must connect and set the tone
Every detail blends chiropractic and weight loss strategies
"That's a lot of money"
"I have to talk to my spouse"

We are told Under-Promise and Over-Deliver. WRONG!
Over-Promise & Over-Deliver.
What do they want - I mean really want? Not weight loss or their neck cracked. They want results, something big, life-changing.
What do you want them to do? What are your long-term goals? Ours are for them to become life-time wellness patients along with their family!
Start with this in mind to move them in this direction.
Free consult, Free evaluation, $29 exam and x-rays, etc.
Whatever it takes. If they NEVER come in, you can never help them and never make money.
Big Vision = they will follow a leader. "My people perish from lack of vision" - they want a life-changing event and someone to believe in.
Don't confuse them or separate the two, this will kill your sales and the connection of chiropractic.
Being Relentless If you want to be the best chiropractor around, there are a few actions and steps you must take.

Urgency
If you don't have a sense of urgency and not passionate about what you offer and what you do, you will live in constant struggle.
Complacency
Gradual settling to a place of mediocrity. Who wants to live this way? "Honey I want you to have a mediocre day" - That would suck.
Telling your kids, "I want you to grow up and have a mediocre life and marry a mediocre spouse".
What's your purpose?
Find something you would die for and go live for it. Would you go to jail for chiropractic?
You must dig deep to find what inspires you. Find what you would go to jail for and go out and tell the world.

EOS is a critical strategy to grow your practice and attract new patients into your office.
When the question is asked, "what do you do?", the worse thing is to just blurt out 'chiropractor'. They all have a preconceived idea what a chiropractor is, and unfortunately, it isn't always positive. In fact, the analysis is that they don't trust us and have a negative vibe.
You must be clear on this, write out your EOS, and begin to attract new patients in every where you go. The questions are for your guide, the answers are our office EOS. When they know what you believe - they will be attracted or repelled. This is exactly what you want.
I believe the body can heal and thrive without drugs and surgery. {Sometimes we need a helping hand, that's why everyone needs a chiropractor}
The body has an Innate potential to heal far greater than any drug, pill or vitamin.
Through chiropractic care and/or our rapid weight loss program, we unlock the potential to heal naturally. {and expect amazing results, fast results}
How I do it differently? (3 statements)
We analyze the spine and nerve system with digital and motion x-rays to find out what is stopping [interfering] with your body from healing.
We come up with a plan to correct this problem [interference] so the body can heal itself naturally.
If weight loss is needed, we have a very rapid way to lose weight naturally and reset the body's own physiology and metabolism so this becomes a permanent solution.
Social proof / testimonies.
Make sure you write up a testimony for each of your main things you help with. Ex: weight loss, back/neck pain, headaches, acid reflux, migraines, ear infections. Have them ready for every situation. If you don't have any, use ours or other chiropractors testimonies until you have your own results.
"If I could do this for you, just like I've done for everyone else, what in the world would stop us from taking action and working with each other?"
We believe the same things. I've showed you what it is we do. I've showed you how we do it differently than anyone else. And, I've showed you results we go for everyone else out there in the world.
Or, "If I could help you lose weight like I did with Susan (testimony), would you like to come in for our free consult/exam, to see how we can help you?"
Or, "Out of everything I've shared, what peaks your interest the most?"
Use our weight loss testimonials until you get your own. Just say, "This IN8LIFE system has _______"
"We have gotten incredible results with our clients so far. {List out a few testimonies}
This is far better than saying...."I'm a chiropractor" and having them walk away thinking you crack backs!

How you communicate can make or break you. This can be one of the most powerful tools in your game plan. Without great (not good) communication, you will feel so frustrated and confused.
Big mistake most of the time. This has been taught to us in many seminars, books, and business strategies. We have been taught to get them to say "yes" with little things and then they will say "yes" to your big question - the financial decision. This can be a huge mistake.
The ALL have concerns; money or finances, time, adjustments.
Agree with them, let them know that you understand they already have those concerns, you know they are skeptical, and understand why they may be worried about an adjustment. Don't hide behind this. When you address their "no", their heart opens up to tell you exactly what their true concerns are.
This is a ninja move. We are all trained to ask "why" wouldn't you want to do the program?, "why" wouldn't you pull money from savings to pay for the program?, "why" haven't you got your family in to be checked?
When you move away from "why" and ask "how" can I help you get your family in to be checked?, "what" can I do to help you lose the additional 50 lbs?. The what and how engages the patient to explain in their words what needs to happen.
Be a "straight shooter" and you will win and become connected.
Ask the hard questions and your connection will even be greater and even deeper. Results = more healing, more new patients, more growth and more income.
Go change the world.

Diabetes is likely the Third leading cause of death in America. It may be as high as 19% of all deaths are contributed to diabetes. By 2050 this number may be as high as 48 million Americans. This is growing in the U.S. and globally.
70% of Americans are overweight or obese. 90% of Americans want to lose weight. Over 45 million Americans are on a diet. It may be as high as 100 million Americans. However, 75% of Americans say that they eat healthy.
The U.S. and the world needs the truth and a healthy change. They are searching, trying every program out there, and in desperate need to lose weight, eliminate diabetes and heal.

There are 10 steps or 10 rules to play by when connecting with patients to gain trust, gain AUTHORITY, and gain business.
Chiropractors have been doing these wrong steps every day. We have been trained that we are 'doctors' and we should Love, Give, and Serve....and they will come and sign up.
WRONG!
You better love, give and serve, but you must follow a business plan of attack.
Let's all grow our businesses and change the world, change how the community thinks about chiropractic, and change your future.
Business, money, growth and an incredible future for you and your family.

Dan Borowski is a Pittsburgh Pennsylvania native who for the last four years has been residing in Seattle Washington.
He has many diverse hobbies and interest from rock climbing, backpacking, recently certified scuba diver, and all-around health and fitness enthusiast to Philosophy, astronomy, geology, and overall personal growth.
When Dan was 18 years old he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. After two years dealing with the disease through pharmaceutical medicines and their devastating side effects he began to search for alternative remedies which led him down a life changing course to better health.
His story is shocking and real. This happens way to often and has to change. At such a young age, and advice from a cousin, his life and health began to take a dramatic change. The timing was absolutely perfect. Imagine having to educate yourself on alternatives, side effects of medications, and trying to avoid a lifetime of drugs and have a section of your colon cut out, only to live with a bag!
He did it. He not only beat the odds, he is now an inspiration and example of a true champion. His motto is – “Keep Swinging”.
You will love his story. Be inspired to take on your challenge and win. We can all gain tremendous insight and courage from Dan.
Enjoy…..
Show Notes: Let's keep it short. Listen and enjoy.
Medication is over utilized in the U.S. Medication has many, many side effects. Medication ALWAYS changes your body chemistry. When this happens, it will affect how your body hormones work, how your body retains weight and body fat, and how your body physiology functions.
This all leads to a highly dysfunctional body and can greatly affect how you lose weight or have a terrible time keeping it off, even when you have a good diet and exercise program.
Obesity related deaths are close to 20% of all deaths. 70% of Americans are overweight or obese. This is a big problem and can be corrected.

About half of all American adults are either pre-diabetic or diabetic. Between 1990 and 2013 diabetes rates rose by 71% in the U.S.
Almost 70% of all Americans are overweight or obese.
Death certificates suggest diabetes is involved in nearly 12% of deaths and among the obese, it may be as high as 20%. This has become a national and global problem. We have the answer both in philosophy and programs that deliver results.
When the community turns to medication, the risk of dying is greatly increased. Over 250,000 people die annually from properly prescribed medication and errors. This is equivalent to a 911 terrorist disaster every 4-5 days. We would not tolerate this if it were from terrorist, so why do we tolerate this when is from our medical community and big pharma?
WebMD has an article that factors in genetics. 50% luck or family history and 50% lifestyle. It also states that a gene called PPARG was known to be involved in type 2 diabetes. Researches found that 1% of people have one of nine mutations that affect how that gene functions. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes increased more than sevenfold. "We're moving in the right direction, discovering these mutations, but diabetes is a very complex disorder," said Dr. Joel Zonxzein.
I get a bit confused and frustrated. Type 2 diabetes is NOT a complex disorder. Maybe in a very small %, but for 90-95% of diabetics, they would all respond with amazing success with proper diet and lifestyle changes. True Changes!
The Chiropractic lifestyle, philosophy, and intent offers the answer.
The IN8LIFE program offers a quick and easy solution to jump-start their healing.

The public does NOT understand what Chiropractic is and what Chiropractic can do?
You must tell stories and analogies. Jesus always told parables and stories. These stories are easy to remember and they bridge the gap.
The gap is where they are right now and where you want them to go. Pain and symptoms is what may bring them in, but it won't keep them under long term care. Take them where they are and agree with them, and then start to gently move them forward to understand the principles.
We do this with each client/patient that comes in for weight loss and quickly help them understand how and why the nerve system, aka = chiropractic, is the primary concern for weight loss and long term healing.
Stories must be told on a 3rd grade level. Don't play doctor and super-educated doctor. Be real and simple.
Garden hose story. Simple and they understand it. Use it!! You must first get them to agree and understand a concept, and then you can elaborate.
Light bulb and light switch story.
Car alignment story. Great way for them to realize stress causes wear and tear. Arthritis and degeneration.
Fuse box story. The Power story that explains why a quick and simple adjustment may be all that you need. Keeps the adjustment powerful.
Engine light goes on story. Explains symptoms and drugs. Why we take care of our car the way we take care of our body?
Brushing your teeth story.
Building a house story. We need an engineer (brain and nerve system) and we need good material (lifestyle with nutrition, exercise, and thoughts)
To get a full picture of Dr Groulx’s marketing strategy as well as some FREE training go to http://www.dconfire.com/secretsauce
Dr Groulx was piloting a small aircraft in 2011 when he started to feel dizzy and nauseous. He decided to scrub the flight, landed, and by the time he shut down the engine and removed his headset, he was deaf in his left ear.
Forty-eight hours later he was deaf, blind, in the early stages of kidney failure and becoming more and more paralyzed.
Doctors knew he had some kind of infection but did not know where it was coming from. Eventually they performed a lumbar puncture and learned that he had bacterial meningitis. Despite being given the most powerful antibiotics available, he was not responding to treatment and his neurological status continued to decline.
Doctors told his wife, Beth, to prepare herself for his imminent death.
As much as he has recovered beautifully from such a traumatic illness, his energy levels and stamina were very, very slow to return. Practice was difficult but continuing to do the marketing and all the extra work required to sustain his business became UNsustainable.
This was the impetus for the birth of one of his highest values in his practice....LEVERAGE. He was forced to find ways to be able to leverage his time, talent and money to multiply the results of all his efforts.
Dr Groulx has made a habit of taking action on the 20% of things that creates 80% of the results.
Marketing his practice online became his #1 method of bringing new patients to his clinic using the “Mere-Exposure Effect”. The Mere-Exposure method allows him to use social media to create authority and trust – making him the go-to chiropractor in his city. All of this, without discounting his services.
The result is an automated system of producing high quality new patients that arrive while improving the overall brand equity of the profession.
Imagine if we all did that!
Dr Groulx mentors other doctors to help them reproduce his results. Check out his approach at http://www.dconfire.com/secretsauce

Have you ever tried to pull weeks in July? Dry ground, sun beating down on you.
It is nearly impossible.
This is exactly what we do in our practice all the time. We try to market and advertise to the community about subluxation, pain, or other symptoms. Every one out there is marketing the same thing.
Dieting systems don't work well. 2/3rds of dieters regain their weight in the first year. 100% regain their weight within 5 years.
108 million dieters are out there!
The market is amazing and they are ready to listen. You don't have to be a nutritionist, dietician, or weight loss guru. You simply need to have a solution for the millions out there. They want results. They want to heal. They want to function well for life.
Our system really does yield fast and effective results AND you still are the chiropractor.
5 Simple Struggles/Strategies to help your patients win:
1. Cut back of sugars and carbs. This increases insulin and fat storage.

Core Premise
"Everybody is born with seeds of greatness and capable of doing heroic things. A hero is defined as a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. The majority of people have had this silently hidden, beaten down, and imprisoned in them.
Hero Purpose
We live in a broken society that teaches, encourages, and rewards mediocrity. People are silently grieving their potential. Therefore, I exist to wake up the hero that we know resides in everyone.
Clear Goal
For people who are sleepwalking through life... living their secret identity, we wake them up and connect them to their greatness, genius, and buried hero. And for those who are already awake, we provide a powerful and motivating experience to help them further develop their super powers and encourage them to contribute by joining our mission in helping us wake up others.
Dr. Zaino's Facebook and YouTube vlog style series, "We Are Heroes", follows him as he readies himself to tell the world that embracing the Hero within is the full expression of who you were created to be and guides you in fulfilling your purpose in life.

FREE GIFT From Dr. Franson and The Remarkable Practice: VISION CASTING JOURNAL
A big challenge among chiropractors is referrals and new patients. Many times we throw all our effort on one event or screening and when it doesn’t yield much, we feel destined for failure and a small practice.
Our 4 square idea for workshops, doctors reports, and events has the potential to yield HUGE results. Listen to entire podcast and never stop growing.
We first must understand the principles of our efforts.
In the bible it explains the principles of sowing and reaping. These principles, established by Universal Intelligence…aka GOD, always exist and are applicable.
A must read to fully understand: Matthew 13: 1-9
We throw seeds out on the ground. We throw efforts towards new patient growth.
Some fell on the path and the birds ate it up. We hand out Free Exam cards and no one comes in. We do a screening and nothing.
Some fell on rocky places, and didn’t have much soil. It sprang up quickly but the sun came out and the plants were scorched, they withered because they had no root. We put an ad on facebook or do an event. Get a hand full of patients but because they didn’t understand the principles or you didn’t make a deep connection, they started and quit within several visits.
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. The new patient comes in and is excited to start care. They leave and tell friends and family. Everyone tells them that they shouldn’t, chiropractors are quacks and will take their money, and the pharmaceutical world continues to tell them to take drugs. They get scared and never return.
Other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop – 100, 60, or 30 times what was sown. We continue to teach and educate, we continue to shoot facebook videos, we continue to train and learn, implementing new strategies to better the patient and the community. And some of these seeds work. We grow, collect more money, they refer their family and friends, and you succeed.
If these principles apply, then only 25% of your efforts will succeed.
There are many options to grow and expand. Don’t quit and don’t get discouraged. There is much work to be done in chiropractic and health care. We must push and continue to grow personally and professionally.

Fear is the #1 dream destroyer!
This applies for your patients and your practice.
Several steps must be taken to allow your patient to overcome their fear, accept your recommendations, and pay you for service.
The only way to transform their life.
The patient must be able to tell you CA or yourself all their complaints and what is on their mind. This releases the stronghold.
Once they let it out, they begin to have an open bucket and heart to listen. This is the first step in connection.
Their words are powerful. You must write them down and repeat back to them.
This is what they came to you for. You will soon be able to give them what they need, but first you must establish this relationship.
Understand and ask for what their fears are. Usually time and money. They have tried many other diets, drugs, supplements, and other doctors. They are skeptical and confused. This opens the door for your unique and powerful plan. They are ready.
At this point, if you have done your job, all you have to do is walk them through the process and they are ready to pay and begin care.
This process applies to you as well. What are your fears of implementing a new strategy in your office? Why are you not stepping out in faith and beginning?
You know that your patient will experience a life-changing event once they begin your care and implement chiropractic principles in their life. You know because you have experienced it and are on the other side.
We have also experienced how powerful implementing the IN8LIFE weight loss system in our office is. We are on the other side.
It is up to you to ACT and move forward. Your fear will paralyze you and create many excuses why this won’t work. If you want growth – you can’t stay put.
It takes Action. Join us at TheChiropracticAuthority.com and begin a new system!
Diets Suck!
There are over 150 diet plans. 95% will regain their weight within 1-5 years. 70% of Americans are overweight or obese.
If you’re selling a DIET – you will struggle and lose in the long run. Being a Chiropractor is about chiropractic. Not a diet.
You will be viewed as a diet person, not a doctor, and will blend in with everyone else. Stand out and be the Authority. If you sell a weight loss program separate from your chiropractic program, they will buy, lose weight, and leave.
When you combine the weight loss into your chiropractic program and recommendations, they will pay, stay and continue as wellness patients. You MUST set up chiropractic as Primary and weight loss secondary. Our IN8LIFE system will do this every time.
This is about a system!
The workshop is the #1 way to convert weight loss clients into raving chiropractic fans.
The workshop has several components:
We walk through the very workshop we have used in our office to attract a massive amount of new patients and convert them into raving chiropractic fans.
Listen, learn, take notes, and implement immediately!
This will be short and to the point.
You must first sell yourself and your family.
Do you believe in the principles of chiropractic? That lifestyle and weight loss are essential for maximizing health?
If you truly don’t believe in what you are selling, you will fail miserably.
Do some soul searching and find your passion. Your practice and income are a reflection of your beliefs.
Your patients/clients/practice members are depending on your guidance and direction. Don’t steer them wrong.
Listen and enjoy!
You MUST Walk the Walk and not merely Talk a good game.
Adjustments:
Are YOU getting adjusted every week and doing home rehab?
Do you adjust your family and kids?
If you are NOT doing more than what you recommend – they will sniff you out and call your bluff.
You must get your house in order first.
Do you believe in the Chiropractic Principles, and that the body is self healing, self regulating and the nerve system is the master system?
Do you believe that Innate is on the job 100% of the time and is superior than any other form of medicine, supplements, and supportive care?
This is critical for growth and long term results. If you struggle here…..STOP!
Fix this first before going any further.
Exercise and supplements including weight loss:
These are supportive and secondary to Innate and our nerve system.
They must be implemented for optimal success but they must be secondary in your office. If not, you will struggle with growth and become a second class doctor.
Eating Healthy:
Healthy eating is an important part of overall healing. This is what patients believe will heal them. They know that diet and exercise is a must. They don’t know the principles.
Teach the truth…Always!
They don’t want to do a weight loss program.
They don’t want to be adjusted.
They don’t even want to be in your office.
But they want a specific result. If you do not identify what they truly want, you will never sell them anything.
First you must be able to attract your clients/patients.
108 million dieters.
90-95% regain their weight within 5 years.
Most people hate diets – they are looking for overall health, energy, and healing.
Secondly, you must be able to convert this patient into buying your program.
Old system is to sell them a weight loss program and then try to sell them a chiropractic program. This is So Dead Wrong and will never build a practice.
Within days of our IN8LIFE weight loss program, they will feel better and begin healing – so they do not see any value to chiropractic once this happens.
New system…Our IN8LIFE system we teach.
Blend chiropractic physiology and weight loss programs together as ONE system.
Start by adjusting a few times before they ever start weight loss or cleansing, and they will feel better and begin to heal. Chiropractic is Primary now!
Third step is to teach and educate. If you never attract them, convert them to care, you will NEVER have an opportunity to teach.
At this point, you have the opportunity for doctor reports, advanced workshops, and teach them about your type of chiropractic and long-term chiropractic care.
Weight is NOT their problem – it is what the weight is doing to them that is their problem. Can and will they ever be HEALTHY without Chiropractic care? Can they have optimal health? Of course not!
This IN8LIFE system works in any office and can enhance every chiropractic practice.
There are plenty of patients that need your help within 5 miles of your office. If they all chose to come in, you would be overwhelmed.
Don’t have the “Lack Mentality”. Don’t just accept every warm or cold body that walks through your doors.
Be specific and write out your ideal patient. You will begin to attract more of what you want.
4 Questions you must ask and write out in detail, both by yourself and with your team.
1. Who are your ideal patients?
What age?
Male or female?
Educated or college degree?
Married and family?
What income level?
2. Where can you find the ideal patient?
Weight loss – weight loss forums
Ads in local paper
Radio show
Flyers to your patients
Referrals
Your ideal patient will hang out or congregate in a certain location. Once you realize that, then you must be there every day. Hang out there if it is online, write responses, do workshops, facebook groups – be present and be the authority.
3. What bait will you use?
Free consult
Free Dinner talk
20 – 40 Lbs in 8 weeks
Money back guarantee
20 Lbs guaranteed in 5 weeks
The key is to be specific and not like everyone else. In weight loss, there are a lot of programs and many have the same catch. We utilize the SSHR – Sympathetic Stress Hormonal Response along with a 20 Lbs in 5 weeks – Guaranteed!
4. What result do you want to give them?
They are NOT interested in adjustments, herbs, or the weight loss kit. They are after RESULTS!
Energy
Keep the weight off for life
Restore their health
Hitting their weight loss goal
Being healthy and independent as they age

ScheduleOnce.com is the system we use.
You can add in weight loss into a principled chiropractic office, but you must be clear in your explanation.
In The Chiropractic Textbook, by R.W. Stephenson, he gives us insight.
Art. 174, page 127, “Dieting, as commonly understood is not Chiropractic.”
We completely agree with this statement. Chiropractic care is not to inhibit or stimulate; it is to restore. Dieting is not restoring health or nutrition.
“Prescription is a medical procedure, not Chiropractic. To attempt to cure dis-ease by a prescribed allowance of food, is treating effects and not removing the cause.”
Art. 175, page 128, “Educated should not presume to determine the calories or determine which elements Innate should use. People with abnormal hunger, or other abnormal desires, are technically sick people. People with habitually abnormal appetites are victims of habit and are practicing a form of intemperance; not at all the expression of Innate Intelligence.”
“Therefore, nutritional hygiene is not dieting but common sense. It is simply the restoration of normal and natural environmental conditions. The restoration to normal, of conditions made abnormal by unwise educational living; restoration brought about by a wise, sane, and normal educated mind, coordinating with innate mind as it should, is nutritional hygiene. With this aspect of dieting, Chiropractic agrees. A sick person’s abnormal educated mind will not allow him to use common sense, therefore somebody else’s common sense must be used.”
“Chiropractic is not a propaganda for a new method of dieting, but is a return to the old; a restoration of the natural.”
Our IN8LIFE system restores the proper lifestyle that will allow Innate to thrive. The IN8LIFE system is principled and chiropractic.
We are told “work smarter, not harder”.
But how?
When you apply this strategy in our IN8LIFE system, you really can double, triple or even quadruple your income without adding tons of hours to your work schedule.
We know that we need to put our time in, work hard, and give it time. But, without a proper plan and strategy, you may be left working long hours with very little return.
Many chiropractors are working 8, 10 or even 12 hour days. Expecting that long hours will attract more people. It is just the opposite.
We have 17 ½ hours of clinic hours and attract and see hundreds of patients per week. And when we added the IN8LIFE system and strategy, we doubled and even tripled our income immediately without adding more hours.
Selling weight loss systems do not have to be separate from your chiropractic programs. And when you implement this procedure, they will pay you double, triple or even quadruple what you are collecting now. Without adding more new patients. Even though this weight loss program will attract many, many new patients.
You will not have to add hours to your day. You can shorten them. You will not have to do more events and screenings. And you will not have to rely on insurance to survive.
This strategy really will have you working smarter and producing more without stress.
We all hear them and see marketing promotions about how to hit the mother load with ONE thing. One ad, One Screening technique, or One new Niche.
It is all a bunch of CRAP!
There is no process that doesn’t require time!
Key Point: Don’t compare yourself to other docs. There are amazing chiropractors with high volume, collecting millions a year, and seem to be all over at seminars. Be yourself and learn from them, but don’t expect to become what they are overnight.
Dr. Zaino has an amazing practice, but he achieved his results with hard work and years of training and failures.
Every time you compare yourself to other docs, beat yourself up for not seeing 1,000 patients a week, believe that every workshop should yield 20 new patients, you waste valuable time and destroy your potential.
To get rich, succeed, or have amazing growth it takes some very powerful steps. It is not about the overnight success. Daily steps, week after week, month after month and year after year.
5 Steps for success:
What is all the talk about philosophy for?
Do you read the green books? Philosophy seminars, cd’s and training?
Do you even care to read about the chiropractic philosophy?
Is philosophy remotely important?
Some say without philosophy you cannot survive or grow.
Others say it philosophy has nothing to do with business or growth.
Philosophy won’t save you, BUT….you must be grounded in a strong philosophy or your success will be tremendously restricted.
Without the right philosophy, you will not serve your mission or your purpose.
Without the right philosophy, you will feel empty, will always try to find more marketing, implement different strategies and therapies. Always searching for the answer. We all have a philosophy – you must know and understand this and learn how to express it in your practice.
What do your patients want?
We all need to understand our personal philosophy and be grounded in that. When we are, we become the Authority.
You may be surprised at what you hear today. Sit back and enjoy!
We should not only survive we should THRIVE with Chiropractic. But we are not.
50% of all businesses fail in the first year.
95% of all businesses fail within 5 years.
56% of all chiropractic businesses fail within 4 years.
With statistics like this, we as chiropractors need a game-changer. We not only need to survive, we need to thrive and become the leaders in health-care.
Other alarming statistics:
Can you and will you survive doing Chiropractic? The future is to attract as many new patients as possible and teach them the principles. Learn how to attract a whole new area of health care clients.
Yes, we can survive and THRIVE with chiropractic care. Our principles and strategy is the #1 way to optimize their health…..BUT we must be able to reach new patients and get them in the door.
7 Steps to begin to implement immediately. Giving is a very powerful way to connect and begin your journey with your patient/client at a higher level.
Your time - You must be willing to give up some of your time to do research. Look up the stats. If a patient of yours is running a few minutes late, don't close the door on them, wait the extra few minutes to let them in. Trust me they will appreciate you for it.
Information - you must be willing to send information to your patients on what you do, chiropractic, nutrition, health in general or whatever you do in your office. The more information they have, the more certain they are about what they are doing and why they are in your office.
Health talks - You must be willing to make yourself uncomfortable to get up in front of your community for the ability to spread your message and your brand.
Facebook videos- send 1-2 minute videos everyday to your patients and followers that are valuable to them. Don't expect anything in return. Make the videos something that your followers can implement immediately.
E-mail - When a new patient comes into your office, once they leave, send an email to them with information on a natural remedy or something that they can implement immediately prior to returning to your office for their review. Ex. If the patient is suffering with headaches, send them information on something they can do that night that will help until you can go over your game-plan for them.
Give so much to your community and your patients that they are guilted into paying you for your service. Continue to give and give so more.
Most importantly, you should give for the sake of giving. You shouldn't have the mindset that just because you give something you are entitled to something in return. That is the wrong mindset to have.
The elevator pitch. You must be ready at all times. It doesn’t matter if you are in an elevator, in line at the grocery store, or attempting to talk to a business owner, you must be well scripted, trained and passionate.
First start with 20 – 30 seconds to get their attention, and then you will have the opportunity to sell them you and your program
Build your pitch
When you first meet someone, what is it that you want to achieve? You must outline this in detail, write it up, and practice it. It must become your statement.
When asked – “What do you do?” If you say….”I’m a chiropractor” – you’re dead in the water. You will rarely get to second base. You must make a statement and get them to be intrigued and curious. Once they buy into your vision or mission, they will accept that you are a chiropractor.
WHY? The majority of people already have an opinion about chiropractic and most opinions are not the truth. So, get them intrigued in your mission and they will buy into you. Not chiropractic. Once they are in your office, you can teach them anything you want. But if you can’t get them in – NO DEAL.
Powerful Pitch Script
We all have to address symptoms because that is what brings the patient in. We may communicate how the symptom is not the cause, but an effect. Whether they have headaches, back pain, acid reflux or weight gain, it is all relative.
The symptom is an effect of a body that is not functioning at 100%. If you treat obesity or weight gain as a symptom – you will find that the chiropractic principles and philosophy fits directly in with this.
Weight gain is caused by poor lifestyle choices, just like headaches, back pain and organ dysfunction. A subluxated spine, poor posture, and a dysfunctional spine also contribute to poor physiology, poor hormone function, poor digestion, and poor fat burning.
When you address it this way and tie it together, the patient or client will understand why they MUST have their spine and nerve system checked. This will allow you to continue to be a chiropractor and not a weight loss specialist or vitamin salesman or woman.

All the experts in the world, all the entrepreneurs, inventors, and successful people have all had to just jump in and start.
Procrastination is the key to death. We will never perfect anything in life, so why wait. Waiting is for losers. From Steve Jobs to Thomas Edison, they have all had tremendous success and tremendous failure.
With success come many failures. We as doctors often tell our patients to follow through with our recommendations with passion, even when the patient is very unsure and skeptical.
Why? Our confidence. If you lack confidence and certainty, you will never engage or succeed to your highest potential. We all must build on this every day. But, it will never be perfect. We must act and engage even when we are a bit scared.
Ask yourself, what is the worst case scenario? It usually is not that bad and you can always reverse the damage even if it does happen. But then you must ask yourself, what if I succeed at a very high level? What will happen to my finances? What will happen to my free time?
Sometimes we must just jump in and Pull the Trigger. Our program for chiropractors allows success and financial investment to be returned and profited very quickly. For more information head on over to: The Chiropractic Authority
When it comes to weight loss, many of us think that we must lose 50+ Lbs to have major benefits on our health. This is not true at all.
Losing 10 lbs can reduce heart attack risk by over 50%.
Losing 8 lbs can significantly decrease your risk of carcinogenic hormones
Losing 10 lbs reduces risk of type II diabetes by 60%
Losing just 10 lbs can cure sleep apnea
Erectile dysfunction is reported by 80% of overweight or obese men
Cutting just 100 calories a day could prevent or eliminate 71.2 million cases of obesity and save $58 billion annually in the United States
This is especially true when the quality of food and lifestyle choices is better. Just losing 10 lbs with medication or surgery does not give you the same advantage. In fact, when you engage in lifestyle behavior and commit it to a habit, this is when you have a complete long term result on both your weight loss and health.
Don’t ever underestimate the power of losing those first 10 lbs and committing this to a long term habit.
Stress is the #1 factor to health problems, medication and doctor visits. But what stress are we talking about and how do we avoid it?
There are several different stressors: Physical, Emotional, and Chemical. We cannot avoid them, but we have to learn to decrease them.
Lifestyle stress such as poor eating can cause the sympathetic nerve system to go into fight or flight mode. This will cause major disruption to your health.
Blood pressure, breathing, heart rate, cholesterol and body fat are a few problems that are affected.
But, this is the same response when we have posture and nerve stress.
Learn the facts behind this amazing process. Once you understand this, it will clarify all the problems behind dieting and weight issues. This also is the same problem for all health and sickness.
Get your pens and paper ready for some note taking. This is a Game-Changer!!
First – this is NOT a diet. It is a lifestyle change. We call it the Calorie Clean Diet. It is real food, herbal supplements and healthy choices.
We do a 3 step plan:
1. 8 day cleanse. This is designed to transition their very unhealthy diet to a clean eating nutritious plan while detoxifying. Easy and powerful.
The patient can lose 3-15 Lbs in just 8 days.
When this happens – the patient losses weight extremely fast while cleansing and healing. High blood pressure and diabetes can be quickly healed.
We must become the authority. When we are certain what we do and why we do it, we will not live in fear.
4 Things that can paralyze you in practice.
Patients that come in with screws, plates and post surgery – we are told NOT to adjust. You must become confident in what you must do, not what others have told you. That is FEAR.
Pregnancy is just another concern some docs have. Don’t let it stop you or even hinder you. Learn from the best. Go to ICPA, find a mentor that adjusts pregnant women and children.
Again, learn from the best and become an expert. Our kids are the future. We need to educate and inspire the parents to understand how powerful that is. We must be the authority.
We must be able to adjust to any situation. We also must develop techniques that work with special situations. Elderly that present with osteoporosis need special care. You must learn and become the Authority.
What do we have to do and educate to have patients “Get it” and stay under care for life. We all know these principles are powerful and chiropractic care should be utilized for life, but how do we get our patients to understand.
We need to turn our passion and vision into powerful energy the patient can catch. So, we need to read material, study, go to seminars, and listen to podcasts. Whatever it takes to gain the knowledge to stimulate our passion.
If we don’t have a vision for long-term chiropractic care and the wonders behind it, how will our patients?
Passion needs to be heart deep. Not skin deep. Dig deep to know why you are a chiropractor and why they need to be adjusted for life. Catch that and all else follows.
We have to have a process of educating our patients. From the initial exam and consultation, to re-exams, progress reports, doctor reports, and consults.
Every day can add a little more education. Don’t be overwhelmed with pounding it in. It will come if you are consistent.
You need a way to test their progress. It can come x-rays, posture analysis, thermal and nerve scans, or any other measurable test. Palpation and symptoms won’t cut it. This before and after test and ongoing tests will confirm progress and why they need to continue.
There is a reason millionaires become millionaires.
There is a game plan and action that MUST be done.
Become the millionaire chiropractor!
By waking up 15 min early Mon – Fri, you will gain 1 hour and 15 min more of quality work. By adding in 4 hours on Sat and Sun, you will gain 8 hours on the weekend.
That adds up to 37 hours a month = almost an entire week more of quality work.
That adds up to 12 extra weeks a year! = 3 extra months of quality work.
By doing this – you will become the AUTHORITY.
We all need coaches and mentors. Follow the group that will guide and direct you to a better life. Someone that matches your strategy.
It doesn’t have to be perfect – but engage now to a stronger future.
All great people have coaches.
Train every day. Listen to the podcasts to and from work, train on the videos every morning, read books, and then implement those strategies every day in the office.
Don’t worry about perfection. You must act and then work on your scripts daily.
It NEVER gets perfect. But it will improve and you will become the Authority.
Visualization
Unless you have a clear cut picture – it’s impossible to hit the target.
Visualize your patients signing up for care, paying top dollar for care, and seeing their lives transform and thank you.
But….you must do the work.
Action!! You must do the work.
Emotions
There is a time to be emotional and a time to be clear and non-emotional.
Be emotional about:
Don’t be emotional:
Be emotional about their results – not your results. They want to know if you can help them and how if will affect their life. Not your adjusting, diets, or your rehab.
Be clear and be the AUTHORITY!
WRITE OUT TODAY:
It is not chiropractic you are selling. You are selling results.
This is a real client who had an amazing turnaround that would have NEVER came in based on chiropractic care. They are attracted to weight loss ads because they know they are overweight. They see it and feel it. They don’t know this for chiropractic.
(1) The weight loss ads attract. Easy for them to understand. They are LOOKING for ads in the paper, a new approach, a different answer.
(2) What if they don’t have symptoms? Trying to attract a client with NO symptoms is extremely difficult for chiropractic care. But not for weight loss.
(3) You must get their goals and concerns. We teach these steps through; The Chiropractic Authority System.
The coaching and training will walk you through every step. The health care system is failing. 1 in 5 deaths are related to obesity, weight loss programs yield very slow and expensive results, and health care costs are 150% higher if obese. The market is extremely rich for success.
They need help and the IN8LIFE system will deliver.
Teaching weight loss and physiology is simple.
You DO NOT need to do:
You can do this with some basic tools. Posture, pH, digital body fat analysis and chiropractic testing.
Low budget and very cost effective. I use to think that the more complex the testing the more they would buy. WRONG.
Our IN8LIFE system has 3 different programs. From simple cleansing to rapid weight loss. All with amazing results.
What your client or patient wants is: (1) Easy (2) Simple (3) Fast (4) Results!
They don't want all the special tests - they want a simple solution they can understand and get fast results with. That is what the IN8LIFE system delivers.
The IN8LIFE system is designed to do 4 things:
When you are hiding behind a Doctor image, a fake person, or someone you are not – this will destroy your overall practice.
You must be comfortable and powerful. When a client asks you, How much does this cost, you must be transparent and real.
It is FREEDOM.
When you know how to communicate and are confident in what you do, it is easy to be transparent and real.
To develop wellness or lifelong patients, you must be able to communicate clearly and with vision.
Just because they have a chiropractor, doesn’t mean they won’t be a patient or client.
This episode will go over exactly how we handled each objective with one single new patient. And the results were unexpected!
Chiropractors often do many procedures. Learn how this main concept will move your office and chiropractic to the top. Without this simple and very powerful concept, you will STRUGGLE and so will the profession.
We can do ‘our thing’, but we must have a higher level of purpose.
What distinguishes us as a profession; can be used by all.
It shouldn’t matter if you use stim, ultrasound, massage, correction care or our weight loss system.
Learn how to take your game to a whole new level and the reason the high volume doctors see high volume.
Kelly decides to come in to lose weight. After seeing two other chiropractors, she didn’t believe we could help with her CHRONIC migraines/headaches. But wait to hear her amazing turnaround.
When a client/patient tells you that they want to wait to start care or weight loss until after vacation, what do you say? How you answer this and handle this will change your practice and your bank account. It will also serve your mission – helping the patient succeed.
Kelly’s story is truly inspiration and uplifting.
If you teach with authority the correct principles, they will NOT be confused.
This will build lifetime patients excited for chiropractic care.
An amazing testimony and transformation.
Vicki saw a weight loss ad, heard a workshop and was completely inspired to a complete weight loss and chiropractic program.
Learn how to walk a client from any symptom, condition or ad that attracts them to a chiropractic patient. Unless you become the authority on Health, Healing, Nerve System, and Chiropractic you will not move your clients/patients up this health ladder.
Chiropractic and weight loss CAN blend together if explained well.
Become the Authority!

You should never ask questions during a report. Why?

You never know what they are going to say. This could go off in tangents and away from the seriousness of your discussion.
You will appear to lack confidence. This will kill your conversion or sale.
They will minimize their problem. Once this goes down this rabbit hole, it is nearly impossible to return with confidence, conviction, and how serious their problem is and why they need to start care immediately.
Learn these strategies and turn your authority up a notch and begin to close your client/patient that day, for their health and your future.

Should you come out of the gates screaming “I’m a Chiropractor”?
There is a specific time when you don’t want to tell your audience that you are a chiropractor. Don’t worry – they will love you in a few minutes.
Learn some huge value bombs as you do your next screening, advertise for your next workshop, or meet someone for the first time.
When you are passionate about your vision and teach the principles, they will fall in love with your mission and vision, and then they won’t have a bug about chiropractic.
Almost everyone has an opinion of chiropractic – most are not good or even correct, but that is their understanding. Guide them through a simple process and then you connect, you will be able to offer them something and possibly get a new patient.
You don’t have to be involved as a chiropractor to make this weight loss system work and grow.
You will be able to hire untrained staff, train them, and let them run the entire program. All you have to do is guide them and show them where to get the information and how to answer their questions.
The IN8LIFE system is quite easy which allows staff to guide the client through the IN8LIFE weight loss book and answer simple questions. This is NOT a detailed program that you need to know the krebs cycle, every vitamin and mineral, and understand every herb to make this work.
The book and program will teach itself, staff needs to guide, motivate and lead the client to follow directions. From the supplements, book, and video’s, the program will practically run itself and you can be the doctor.
You need to become the authority in your community. Become the authority in chiropractic, weight loss, nutrition and health.
Why weight loss patients are really seeking health results that a principled chiropractor can deliver.

If you don’t get their goals – you don’t get their money!
Learn what real goals are compared to lame, no money goals.
You will need to dig deep to get it out of them – help them with the problem they want to correct. Not your agenda.
It’s your plan, system, and program – it’s their reason why they would do this and pay you.
Their first goal is NOT their goal. You need to dig!
Remember obesity, diabetes, and disease is just a symptom – that’s NOT what they want to avoid – it is what it is affecting in their life!!
Quote: They want to reveal their deep secrets to the Highest Authority – You are the Chiropractic Authority!
We have all had patients/clients say they don’t want adjusted, hate chiropractors, and have heard some really bad reports.
As soon as you agree, understand the underlying reason, they feel comfortable and will move forward with the exam. They will open up and you will connect.
This is critical for closing the deal. They will never move forward or become your patient/client if you don’t get the elephant out of the room.
Address it head on, uncover the problem, and now move forward for a great patient.
They want results, they want to lose weight, they want results – Be the Doctor, Doctor! Explaining how this system works, physiology and the nerve system will empower them because it finally answers their questions and concerns.
Quote: They don’t come for chiropractic, they come for RESULTS
On the initial exam – if you separate the weight loss testing and information with the chiropractic testing and information – you will kill the program and your results.
This is the biggest step in making a weight loss patient a raving fan of chiropractic.
Staff can implement the history and make the connection between nerve function and health, hormones, their symptoms and weight loss.
The doctor can take this connection, their history, medication, symptoms and how the nerve system (the master system) may be an underlying problem why they haven’t lost weight or kept it off.
The client is now very intrigued!
This connection can all be done in less than 30 minutes.
Learn the parts of this exam that are crucial for success and growth.
Quote: Their Why is their Buying power – Get this and close the deal.
Over 90% of the population does not see a chiropractor. Heart disease, cancer and chronic health problems continue to rise. In 2012, 90 million Americans had diabetes or pre-diabetes.
Over 50% of children have a chronic health condition. 50% of Americans are dieting. 90-95% of all dieters regain the weight back in 1-5 years. 66% of adults are overweight or obese.
The community is ripe for growth. The sky is the limit and you need to deliver results! There is no better time in history to find new patients, help them succeed and grow an amazing practice.
The reason they want to lose weight is not about weight – it is about the results of losing weight. That is health and chiropractic and the correct weight loss system will deliver every time! Dieting is NOT chiropractic – but the principles behind physiology and HOW it’s explained is chiropractic.
Learn the workshop, paying $97 for a chiropractic/weight loss exam, sign up family, and come in every time for chiropractic wanting to lose weight!
Quote: Dr. Stephenson; “Dieting, as commonly understood, is not Chiropractic”
Chiropractic principles are about health and giving Innate the optimal potential to heal and function.
Innate can only utilize what you supply. Obesity and being overweight hinders what Innate is trying to achieve.
The architect is your innate intelligence. The material is what you supply innate intelligence; nutrition, exercise and positive mental attitude. You need both.
The avg. chiropractor adjusts 10-40 patients a day. Long days and long weeks to just survive. It’s time that you learn a system that can make you thrive, not survive.
Learn to be a high volume chiropractor, correction rehab, and weight loss without working 80 hours a week.
Quote: Stephenson’s 33 Principles: The laws of adaptation – Innate intelligence adapts forces and matter for the body as long as it can do so without breaking a universal law, or innate intelligence is limited by the limitations of matter.
How Dr. Muir went from chiropractic school to a powerhouse chiropractor. Adjusting high volume, principled, and becoming an authority without years of coaching, expenses, and selling out.
What and where do we begin as we graduate from chiropractic school?
Keeping an exam under 20 min, being principled, and taking a weight loss patient into a raving fan.
Different options: Associate, opening up on your own, joining a specific clinic franchise, or independent contractor – How to make the right decision.
You can do a weight loss workshop and turn 100% into a cash weight loss and chiropractic exam.
Quote: Fear Feeds on Time! Afraid of something? Do it Today and grow.
Learn why we started the weight loss program when being a principled, correction chiropractor. It was a rocky start to make the connection with weight loss and chiropractic, but we did it.
Weight loss can make you a lot of money, but it can also take you away from being a chiropractor – we can show you how to not make this huge mistake.
Do you need a coach? What are you getting into with coaching and what happens if you choose the wrong coach?
We all need coached and mentored to grow to a higher level of practice and life, but many times you can be coached into something you are not. Be careful.
Our IN8LIFE system can save you lots of time, money and travel by implementing a simple solution. Weight loss is about physiology and they will totally understand this connection about chiropractic care, hormones, and weight loss.
Don’t sell out on being a chiropractor to just a vitamin salesman/saleswomen!
Quote: Weight loss is about Physiology, and Physiology is Chiropractic
