I love it. Yes, thanks for your 24 00:01:33.010 --> 00:01:36.090 words. Wrong. I totally appreciate it and thank you all for putting this 25 00:01:36.209 --> 00:01:40.849 together. The profession needs more of this, and I'll start off by saying 26 00:01:41.489 --> 00:01:45.969 what we're doing right here, right now, is a great example of what 27 00:01:46.090 --> 00:01:49.239 chiropractors want to be doing in their communities. People are here to learn, 28 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:55.439 you're here to share because of your authentic desire and value to help others. 29 00:01:55.480 --> 00:02:00.400 It's a win win win, and it's a model of what exactly we're talking 30 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.430 about for chiropractors to do locally in their communities. I love that. So 31 00:02:04.510 --> 00:02:07.750 how do you guys look up? You guys meet. We're both areas. 32 00:02:07.870 --> 00:02:10.750 He's a Tampa Bay on the San Francisco Bay. Jeff Good, I'll let 33 00:02:10.750 --> 00:02:15.300 you opener. I'll spare you the the the detailed exclamation and give you the 34 00:02:15.379 --> 00:02:19.819 high level overview. You know, Jason I've known as kind of a leader 35 00:02:19.860 --> 00:02:23.580 in the chiropractic profession for from many years and you know, eventually there became 36 00:02:23.699 --> 00:02:29.340 this point where I knew I wanted to start something that really made a big 37 00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:32.009 impact in the chiropractic profession. I had an intuition that I wanted to reach 38 00:02:32.050 --> 00:02:37.210 out to him and through a series of events, meetings and phone calls, 39 00:02:37.289 --> 00:02:39.289 we ended up deciding, man, we not only do we get along great 40 00:02:39.330 --> 00:02:43.729 as friends, but this could be a great opportunity to help a bunch of 41 00:02:43.889 --> 00:02:46.360 docs long term. So that's the seeds that started at the take home message 42 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.680 there would be follow your intuition. Absolutely. Yeah, and you're living high, 43 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.960 high there in the Tampa Bay with all your professional sports team that it's 44 00:02:55.039 --> 00:03:01.509 understand it always cycles back then. But anyway, Hey, so you guys 45 00:03:01.550 --> 00:03:07.990 have both become, from my seat, to the experts in this digital world 46 00:03:07.069 --> 00:03:10.629 that we live in, and you guys both seem to understand that in a 47 00:03:10.669 --> 00:03:14.780 way that most chiropractors don't. So how did that come to be? How 48 00:03:14.819 --> 00:03:17.659 did you guys gain such a strong understanding the space? You know, I 49 00:03:17.740 --> 00:03:21.979 have a long, I'll say, history within this space. You know, 50 00:03:22.099 --> 00:03:25.699 my background in college was marketing. My Dad loves to tell a story how, 51 00:03:25.780 --> 00:03:29.689 when I was, I think five or six years old, my dad 52 00:03:29.810 --> 00:03:31.330 was an entrepreneur. He said to me, I said to him one day 53 00:03:31.330 --> 00:03:35.090 I go Gad, I think I get this. You know, I don't 54 00:03:35.129 --> 00:03:39.250 know what's so hard about business. You just got to give something that everybody 55 00:03:39.409 --> 00:03:44.960 needs at a price they can afford, and that business. You know what's 56 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:49.960 so difficult about that? So I always knew, for whatever reason, that 57 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.879 as I got older, whatever I chose to do, you've got to be 58 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.990 really good at communicating what that is so you can attract people to want it. 59 00:04:00.189 --> 00:04:03.069 So marketing is always been sort of in my DNA, in my background 60 00:04:03.110 --> 00:04:08.789 and sort of putting things you know what. Watching myself grow up and, 61 00:04:08.949 --> 00:04:12.340 you know, reviewing what happened, it became obvious to me that the answer 62 00:04:12.580 --> 00:04:18.339 was, well, chiropractic care is something everybody needs and I could certainly give 63 00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:20.980 it to them at a price they can afford. It's me, in my 64 00:04:21.139 --> 00:04:28.209 hands and it is the, as far as I'm concerned, best kept secret 65 00:04:28.410 --> 00:04:32.209 in healthcare. There's far too few people that understand what it is. It's 66 00:04:32.209 --> 00:04:36.889 the most right opportunity. There's no lack of need, of people who need 67 00:04:38.009 --> 00:04:43.040 care, whether it's reactively or proactively. It's the greatest opportunity, you know, 68 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.720 from a business standpoint, let alone a humanitarian standpoint, any of us 69 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:51.279 can imagine. Fast forward, went to college, got my marketing degree. 70 00:04:51.910 --> 00:04:56.509 My Dad was like, wow, this is great, you're following your dreams. 71 00:04:56.550 --> 00:04:59.550 I then tell them I'm going to become a chiropractor, to which he 72 00:04:59.709 --> 00:05:04.189 saaid, I don't think you realize what people think of Chiropractors, to which 73 00:05:04.230 --> 00:05:09.220 I said well, if you knew what I knew about with Chiropractic really is, 74 00:05:09.779 --> 00:05:15.180 you'd probably want to be on yourself. Long Story Short, he finally 75 00:05:15.259 --> 00:05:18.579 decided to try chiropractic locally. It took US five chiropractors to find one that 76 00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:24.250 actually did what I was describing. He ends up becoming very good friends, 77 00:05:24.329 --> 00:05:27.769 best friends, with this chiropractor, and at gave me his blessing to go 78 00:05:27.810 --> 00:05:31.490 to chiropractic school as I'm graduating, I get a call from him one day 79 00:05:31.569 --> 00:05:33.850 and said, I'm so proud of you. You know, I've been getting 80 00:05:34.170 --> 00:05:38.959 such an amazing results. I've been learning all about this. I'm going to 81 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.839 go to chiropractic school. So literally, at Fifty Five Years Old, my 82 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.319 dad is he likes to jokingly say, decided to follow in his son's footsteps 83 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:51.069 and go to life wes. He did that. Of course, I'm fast 84 00:05:51.110 --> 00:05:57.310 forwarding the story with my brother, who was playing professional basketball in Israel, 85 00:05:57.509 --> 00:06:00.910 who had to listen to all these family conversations. When my dad told my 86 00:06:00.990 --> 00:06:03.899 brother he was going to chiropractice school, my brother's response was can I go 87 00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:08.379 with? So we all drove out here. They went to life West. 88 00:06:08.420 --> 00:06:12.420 I started a practice. I was in practice for roughly ten years. I 89 00:06:12.540 --> 00:06:16.180 was applying everything I learned. I was doing local, live television, local 90 00:06:16.339 --> 00:06:21.930 live radio, writing for newspapers magazines, getting out the message in every way 91 00:06:21.930 --> 00:06:26.769 I knew possible. And, as I sort of jokingly say, a funny 92 00:06:26.810 --> 00:06:30.810 thing happened on the way to following my dreams. I was married at the 93 00:06:30.930 --> 00:06:33.040 time and my wife at the time said, you know, I'll tell you 94 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.959 what, I'll go back to work and you know, you follow whatever your 95 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.560 dream is next. I always wanted to write a book about this message, 96 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.399 so I wrote a book called Discover Wellness House. Staying healthy can make you 97 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:48.589 rich. She simultaneously, miraculously, whatever you want to call it, ended 98 00:06:48.589 --> 00:06:55.550 up becoming the first director of marketing at Facebook, and so through her experience 99 00:06:55.709 --> 00:07:00.990 and my passion, I've been able to from a very early start, understand 100 00:07:00.230 --> 00:07:04.459 really the DNA, the understanding of, you know, the power and potential 101 00:07:05.060 --> 00:07:09.819 of what these social networks are all about, facebook, instagram, etc. 102 00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:17.410 And I've been doing everything possible to try to explain to our profession how powerful 103 00:07:17.449 --> 00:07:21.050 these tools really are if used correctly. And that's what we're going to talk 104 00:07:21.050 --> 00:07:26.529 about today. Confusion About, Oh, you know, I've got a company 105 00:07:26.610 --> 00:07:29.730 that runs facebook ads for me. Isn't that what you're talking about? You 106 00:07:29.810 --> 00:07:32.040 know? No, it's not. So hopefully we'll clear a lot of that 107 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.879 up. We're talking about how to use these tools to really build an audience 108 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.199 of people that want to learn from you, want to advocate for you, 109 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:47.230 want to share you with their social networks so that you never have to market 110 00:07:47.470 --> 00:07:53.829 ever again. So that's my story. Jeff's got a fascinating one, also 111 00:07:53.949 --> 00:07:58.230 about working at like the largest orthopedic I'll let your share a jeff it's. 112 00:07:58.550 --> 00:08:01.939 It's a phenomenal start. Yeah, my story is a little bit I'm going 113 00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:05.379 to say Jason's is so inspiring. I'll kind of give the short version, 114 00:08:05.699 --> 00:08:07.779 you know, on mine, and it's a lot of school, a hard 115 00:08:07.779 --> 00:08:11.620 knocks so coming out of school and really finding out everything not to do, 116 00:08:11.819 --> 00:08:16.170 practicing as an associate and then as my own kind of clinic director and owner, 117 00:08:16.490 --> 00:08:18.170 and then I kind of had this fortunate it wasn't for everybody, but 118 00:08:18.290 --> 00:08:22.290 for me it kind of was this fortunate step to really see on the other 119 00:08:22.370 --> 00:08:26.009 side of what people are doing, being a multi discplinary group that was really 120 00:08:26.170 --> 00:08:30.079 building and growing fast and at the time they were spending about five million dollars 121 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.720 a month on advertising. So, you know, I kind of transitioned into 122 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.519 the marketing leadership role with them and that open my eyes to what could be 123 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.230 done at scale and my goal has been to pull back some of those tenants 124 00:08:41.309 --> 00:08:46.710 from what I've seen really the biggest players in the healthcare space doing and applying 125 00:08:46.750 --> 00:08:50.269 it to us and what we can do as chiropractice. That's beautiful and you 126 00:08:50.309 --> 00:08:54.950 guys will probably touch on this later, but I was you know, thank 127 00:08:54.990 --> 00:08:58.820 you, by the way, for saying either the rough manuscript of your book 128 00:08:58.860 --> 00:09:00.899 that's going to be released I think fall of two thousand and twenty one. 129 00:09:01.419 --> 00:09:05.019 But in there I was just blown away when you stated the sheer numbers of 130 00:09:05.059 --> 00:09:09.899 people that are engaging online. That just it's staggering and I think for us 131 00:09:09.940 --> 00:09:13.330 to not do what you guys are talking about is as an active ignorance. 132 00:09:13.370 --> 00:09:16.370 I mean it's think about all the people out there we can help and so 133 00:09:16.690 --> 00:09:20.009 hey, let's dive right in. So just so you two know, and 134 00:09:20.049 --> 00:09:24.799 I shared a couple episodes with you, but over these last eight episodes on 135 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.279 this show catch up with car touch, we've been focusing on the four domains 136 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.840 of practice, and I know there's more domains. We have really talked about 137 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.159 collections, but the four main ones we've talked about our attraction, conversion, 138 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.990 retention and team building. And in there we've had an amazing guest. So 139 00:09:39.429 --> 00:09:43.789 I've been blessed to have a front row seat for all these amazingly inspirational guys. 140 00:09:43.830 --> 00:09:46.830 It's been so good for me. But for this episode we're going to 141 00:09:46.870 --> 00:09:50.470 stay laser focus on this attraction piece and I think for you guys, is 142 00:09:50.789 --> 00:09:56.419 just this idea of building this authentic tribe of followers that are into what we're 143 00:09:56.419 --> 00:10:00.539 doing and we're inspiring them. So let's just dive right into that and I 144 00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:03.100 think our listeners are going to be taking a lot of notes, so if 145 00:10:03.139 --> 00:10:07.100 I hit a pause it's because I'm taking notes. But in that book, 146 00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:11.049 you guys said something early on that tied into what we've been talking about, 147 00:10:11.529 --> 00:10:15.450 and so if you guys can elaborate on those on what are the best sources 148 00:10:15.610 --> 00:10:18.370 of new patients in the chiropractic practice? That kind of opened my mind and 149 00:10:18.450 --> 00:10:20.840 reminded me again of these truths. So please share that. All right. 150 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.480 All right, so the name of the book is called the payday practice. 151 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:33.039 How to cover your monthly expenses in one day, guaranteed. So it is 152 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:39.029 truly a game changing way of looking at and thinking about your practice from what 153 00:10:39.190 --> 00:10:43.990 I'll call a reactive care way. Most of us know you know, hey, 154 00:10:43.110 --> 00:10:48.269 nobody calls up your practice saying can you correct my sublexations for maximum health 155 00:10:48.350 --> 00:10:52.179 benefit, but most chiropractors believe that. You know, people only come in 156 00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:58.539 reacting to care and it's a self fulfilling prophecy. So you know, we 157 00:10:58.059 --> 00:11:03.580 go ahead and we put messages out that attract that motivated group of people that 158 00:11:03.700 --> 00:11:07.809 have a symptom to come on in. And according to the math I've done, 159 00:11:07.850 --> 00:11:11.330 that's roughly one percent of the population. There's roughly one percent of the 160 00:11:11.370 --> 00:11:18.960 population that is actively right now today go into a search engine typing in chiropractor 161 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:24.720 their town, looking for a chiropractor. And so my question becomes, wait 162 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.600 a minute. I've sat up through hundreds of seminars, I've broken bread and 163 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:35.070 had meals with the professions best minds. I've been around the block for decades 164 00:11:35.269 --> 00:11:39.669 now and somehow and we talk amongst our elves. We got this whole conversation 165 00:11:39.909 --> 00:11:45.870 going on about how you should use chiropractic care proactively to enhance your health and 166 00:11:46.269 --> 00:11:50.259 reactively if you've got a symptom. But nowhere do I see that type of 167 00:11:50.379 --> 00:11:54.779 message and going out into the public. So how's the public ever going to 168 00:11:54.860 --> 00:12:00.299 know that we're good for those things if we never put that message out there? 169 00:12:01.220 --> 00:12:05.450 So what we include in the book is sort of a reframing of what 170 00:12:05.570 --> 00:12:09.690 all called Jeff and I's experience as we've been going out now for I think 171 00:12:09.730 --> 00:12:13.889 it's about five years sharing this message, longer on our own, but together 172 00:12:13.090 --> 00:12:20.399 five years. The number one response we get from almost every chiropractor and Chiropractic 173 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.639 leader or group manager, Management Company and so on, all of a sudden 174 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.679 immediately goes okay, but is this going to give a new patients? Like 175 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.350 there's no thought. It's almost the same hypocrisy. As you know, you 176 00:12:33.470 --> 00:12:35.629 doing your leg lecture, you trying to explain to people the nerve system, 177 00:12:35.950 --> 00:12:39.149 the in a healing ability we have, etc. And they go yeah, 178 00:12:39.190 --> 00:12:43.230 but well, my neck and going so you kind of go okay, well, 179 00:12:43.269 --> 00:12:46.220 let's just pause for a moment. We have to reframe this conversation, 180 00:12:46.500 --> 00:12:52.019 and so the way we're reframing it is that we think most of the profession 181 00:12:52.059 --> 00:12:58.289 has this bass actwards. It's just not thinking smart or intelligently about it. 182 00:13:00.049 --> 00:13:05.850 We focus collectively. I know there's exceptions, collective. The most of people 183 00:13:07.009 --> 00:13:11.730 in our profession are addicted to meeting new patients and they're addicted because every time, 184 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:13.960 you know, we go you want to try this? They go yeah, 185 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.440 but I need new patients now. You go okay, well, what 186 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.720 are you doing? Well, we're doing advertisements to target people who have these 187 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:28.029 particular symptoms and then offer a deep discount to come into our office. That's 188 00:13:28.070 --> 00:13:31.389 the way to get them in. But if you've been around for the group 189 00:13:31.470 --> 00:13:37.110 on days, you know just getting warm bodies in your door may not necessarily 190 00:13:37.309 --> 00:13:41.659 be the best long term strategy for any of you. So what we had 191 00:13:41.700 --> 00:13:43.299 to do was we sort of came up with a new way of thinking about 192 00:13:43.299 --> 00:13:52.059 how this is and it sounds something like this. Most chiropractors next best new 193 00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:58.570 patient is actually keeping your current patients. Okay, as long as you're providing 194 00:13:58.570 --> 00:14:01.129 a service. Let me give the disclaimer, as long as you're providing a 195 00:14:01.210 --> 00:14:07.049 service you authentically know as a positive health benefit for people and is not, 196 00:14:07.330 --> 00:14:11.639 you know, nobody saying overtreat, nobody saying take advantage, nobody saying extend 197 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.480 care unnecessarily. But if you're like me and many other chiropractors that you know 198 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:22.480 getting checked and adjusted if necessary proactively has a positive health benefit, then we 199 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:28.750 understand that this is a lifestyle and for a lifetime. That's up to people 200 00:14:28.750 --> 00:14:30.909 to choose what they want to do. But if you don't lay that out 201 00:14:30.950 --> 00:14:35.669 as an option, they're not can necessarily intuitively know that's the right choice. 202 00:14:35.230 --> 00:14:41.259 So your next best new patient is keeping your current patient. Your second best 203 00:14:41.419 --> 00:14:46.659 next new patient is a friend or family member or referral of a current patient, 204 00:14:46.179 --> 00:14:50.460 client member, whatever you want to refer to them as. The third 205 00:14:50.059 --> 00:14:54.129 next best new patient or client to come into your practice is someone following you 206 00:14:54.330 --> 00:14:58.889 online, who's been watching you, listening to you, learning from you, 207 00:14:58.370 --> 00:15:03.210 seeing their friends or their social network engage with you. And all of that 208 00:15:03.409 --> 00:15:09.799 is because those are three ways or three categories that build trust. And the 209 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:16.960 currency in today's world is not information. There's lots of information, disinformation, 210 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:22.070 misinformation. Nobody knows how to hear it, filter it, determine what's true 211 00:15:22.190 --> 00:15:26.830 it's not true and make good decisions. We follow people, we trust and 212 00:15:26.990 --> 00:15:31.389 we assume they've done the due diligence to come to the conclusions they have. 213 00:15:31.070 --> 00:15:35.500 And that's really the paradigm shift from Hey, let's just make it super cheap 214 00:15:35.620 --> 00:15:41.700 for strangers who have no idea who you are to come on in for what 215 00:15:41.779 --> 00:15:46.059 they think you provide, which is typically pain relief covered by their insurance, 216 00:15:46.460 --> 00:15:48.740 so that then they could even get out of there. which is your fourth 217 00:15:48.860 --> 00:15:54.210 best new patient. Maybe even fifth. Okay, so what we're trying to 218 00:15:54.289 --> 00:16:00.129 do is reframe the conversation about needing more new patients from hey, let's just 219 00:16:00.529 --> 00:16:03.759 throw a bunch of deep discount adds to anybody who lives locally and has some 220 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:11.000 sort of orthopedic symptom into why don't we share our truth? Why don't we 221 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:17.440 do it consistently over time, authentically with those people that already agree with us? 222 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:23.230 And let's authentically earn our audience, like everybody does, of people that 223 00:16:23.269 --> 00:16:29.549 actually aligned with our philosophies, that agree with our perspectives and that actually use 224 00:16:29.629 --> 00:16:33.340 our services and positive ways, and I'm such remarkable both results and outcomes, 225 00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:37.659 but also shifts in their thinking, that they end up becoming the ones who 226 00:16:37.659 --> 00:16:44.139 share you with their social networks. And you're really using social media the way 227 00:16:44.139 --> 00:16:48.409 it's intended to be used, because people forget that it's social media. It's 228 00:16:48.450 --> 00:16:53.169 not advertising media, it's not sponsored media, it is social media. So 229 00:16:53.250 --> 00:16:56.730 that's really the way it's designed and intended to be used at its best. 230 00:16:57.289 --> 00:17:02.440 And I think about the energy drain it is on a practice to have a 231 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:06.200 bunch of people coming in because you offered such a little price and then it's 232 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:10.440 hard on the staff, it's hard on the dock and it just taxes and 233 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:12.720 it's hard on the existing clients, I think too. From you got a 234 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:18.309 doctor spread thin trying to manage new patients there are going to accept his advice 235 00:17:18.430 --> 00:17:21.750 on day two or whatever they do. The report. So deep diskind advertising 236 00:17:21.910 --> 00:17:23.349 is like sugar. It's going to get you a result over a short period 237 00:17:23.349 --> 00:17:26.069 of time and then you're going to crash. So there's always a tradeoff there 238 00:17:26.230 --> 00:17:30.059 and there's there's a lot of practices that have suffered that crash and sometimes that 239 00:17:30.180 --> 00:17:33.779 can be almost more difficult than the potend, the benefit given up front by 240 00:17:33.819 --> 00:17:37.619 that little boost. So I love that. That's a good analogy, man. 241 00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:41.299 I love that. Okay, so we live in this, obviously, 242 00:17:41.420 --> 00:17:44.609 and you can share some numbers with me on this guy's we live in this 243 00:17:45.049 --> 00:17:48.490 massive digital world. I mean, it is what it is. It's not 244 00:17:48.690 --> 00:17:52.769 going anyway. It's only going to get bigger. And you know, how 245 00:17:52.849 --> 00:17:56.049 important is it, what you already said, Jason, to regularly engage with 246 00:17:56.170 --> 00:18:02.119 them and and to go further with that? How does one start building a 247 00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:04.519 tribe of followers online? How do you go about that? How do you 248 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:11.200 start, I think it starts with the doctor understanding what this is. Okay, 249 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:18.069 so we've actually built a program for our clients that helps doctors literally teach 250 00:18:18.230 --> 00:18:22.549 their patients, teach their community, teach their what we call health tribe, 251 00:18:22.789 --> 00:18:30.019 how to make social media healthy for you. And that's really understanding. That's 252 00:18:30.140 --> 00:18:33.859 the first understanding is from the doctor's viewpoint, is that this is not a 253 00:18:34.259 --> 00:18:37.980 sugar high. Even though this is not, I'll pay someone else to run 254 00:18:38.180 --> 00:18:41.009 ads for me, and I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm saying 255 00:18:41.049 --> 00:18:45.130 that's not the highest and best use. Sure, you can get an adjustment 256 00:18:45.170 --> 00:18:48.849 for a headache and stop. It's an option. It's not your highest and 257 00:18:48.930 --> 00:18:52.650 best use. So, yes, you can run ADS get patients in. 258 00:18:52.329 --> 00:18:56.880 Yes, not your highest and best use. That's not your full understanding. 259 00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.599 So it starts with the doctor understanding that, wait a minute, this is 260 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:04.599 not just a drug that wears off temporarily and then you grow and you know, 261 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:07.880 immune to it and you've got to use more and more over time. 262 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.670 This is something that is like, you know, one of the ways we 263 00:19:11.950 --> 00:19:15.470 say it is this is the difference between hunting versus farming. You know, 264 00:19:15.509 --> 00:19:18.470 if your hunter, you go out, you kill, you eat and you 265 00:19:18.630 --> 00:19:22.630 start over again. If you're farming, you've got a strategy, you've got, 266 00:19:22.829 --> 00:19:26.859 you know, land, you've got an idea and you know there is 267 00:19:26.900 --> 00:19:30.579 a natural law to planting seeds, nurturing those seeds and having them harvest over 268 00:19:30.740 --> 00:19:37.019 time, a sustainable supply of food versus an instant supply of food, and 269 00:19:37.180 --> 00:19:38.970 that's really what we're talking about here. Again, we're not saying do one 270 00:19:40.089 --> 00:19:42.970 not the other. We're saying pay attention to which ones you're using and the 271 00:19:44.130 --> 00:19:49.009 build a portfolio of resources to hopefully focus on more sustainable supplies over time. 272 00:19:49.809 --> 00:19:56.200 So that's really the whole idea is understanding. Wait a minute, I should 273 00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:57.799 be building an audience. And one of the things we say we know there's 274 00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:03.000 a lot of controversy, especially right now. FACEBOOK's good, facebook's bad, 275 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.230 it's you know, there's all kinds of talk about the addiction of social media 276 00:20:07.230 --> 00:20:11.190 and so on. Here's the framework. If social media has the potential to 277 00:20:11.269 --> 00:20:17.509 be so damaging, so dangerous that it can shift elections, that can change 278 00:20:17.549 --> 00:20:19.910 the world, it can get all these negative and bad things to happen, 279 00:20:19.950 --> 00:20:26.940 it's that powerful. My question is, doesn't that mean that it's equally potentially 280 00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:33.380 powerful to do the same or better for good right if it's got the ability 281 00:20:33.539 --> 00:20:41.089 to communicate with basically billions of people around the world. Isn't the issue what 282 00:20:41.369 --> 00:20:45.329 we're consuming, not that we're consuming it. Media is not new. People 283 00:20:45.369 --> 00:20:51.000 have been addicted to television, their telephones, all the media of the past. 284 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:56.440 What's new is the speed and the scale that you can now this is 285 00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:59.599 a good thing as much as it's a could be a negative thing, and 286 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:02.839 that's really where it starts, is understanding. If I said to you and 287 00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:06.549 I said listen, Hey man, I'm going to I'm going to grant your 288 00:21:06.630 --> 00:21:11.750 wishes, like bj Palmer in the very early days, who invested resources and 289 00:21:11.869 --> 00:21:18.470 radio stations and television stations so that he can build an audience of people that 290 00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:22.339 listen to his message, I'm going to now grant you your wish and I'm 291 00:21:22.380 --> 00:21:27.700 going to give you access to your own television studio that you have one hundred 292 00:21:27.700 --> 00:21:32.819 percent access to twenty four seven, three hundred and sixty five for free. 293 00:21:33.450 --> 00:21:36.609 I'm also going to give you a radio station where you can say whatever you 294 00:21:36.730 --> 00:21:40.690 want to anybody. You can get to listen around the world for free. 295 00:21:41.089 --> 00:21:44.970 I'm also going to give you a printing press so you can type and write 296 00:21:45.170 --> 00:21:48.119 whatever you want to get anybody you can get to read it or down the 297 00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:55.079 world for free. What would you say to me? Let's get that's a 298 00:21:55.200 --> 00:22:00.000 miracle. Now I've got the tools and resources and I don't have the excuses 299 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.910 as to why I can't get my message out to the masses. So it 300 00:22:04.150 --> 00:22:11.029 starts with that mindset that this isn't just some asterisks advertising option. But you 301 00:22:11.150 --> 00:22:14.910 know, all I really want to do is a just we believe that doctor 302 00:22:14.990 --> 00:22:21.779 means teacher and a teacher teaches, and being a chiropractor really is about teaching. 303 00:22:22.140 --> 00:22:26.380 First, being a mechanic or adjuster second, that if you will build 304 00:22:26.380 --> 00:22:30.210 a big enough audience of people that trust you, are inspired by you and 305 00:22:30.450 --> 00:22:36.490 therefore want to learn from you on an ongoing basis, you will build an 306 00:22:36.609 --> 00:22:41.730 audience of people that become your advocates and ambassadors. H really how this is 307 00:22:41.809 --> 00:22:45.359 all designed to work. The tactics are simple and easy, once you get 308 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.880 the mindset straight and get it right. Well, that's great, and maybe 309 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.319 Jeff elaborate on some of those tactics. You know, really it's about teaching 310 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.400 and inviting consistently. So we think every opportunity that somebody's taking to shoot a 311 00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.670 video, to write something online, whatever it might be, to put out 312 00:23:00.670 --> 00:23:04.509 a piece of content, that's your opportunity to teach your audience something about themselves. 313 00:23:04.630 --> 00:23:07.869 Right. How can you get people to engage? How can you entertain? 314 00:23:07.910 --> 00:23:11.750 How can you educate? So the more that you can teach. Every 315 00:23:11.789 --> 00:23:14.579 time you do that, it gives you an opportunity to invite. And now, 316 00:23:14.660 --> 00:23:17.660 if you're listening to marketing in the past, you might have heard the 317 00:23:17.700 --> 00:23:19.740 word call to action, and that's what we call your called action is your 318 00:23:19.859 --> 00:23:22.980 invitation. You can invite them to take the next step. And then the 319 00:23:23.019 --> 00:23:26.250 last word there is critical, and that's consistently. If you do that once 320 00:23:26.289 --> 00:23:29.529 a year, it's going to be tough to hit a home run if you 321 00:23:29.569 --> 00:23:30.930 only swing the bat, you know, once a month. So you want 322 00:23:30.930 --> 00:23:33.849 to get out there and get those reps and I think the best way to 323 00:23:33.930 --> 00:23:37.970 do that is we always think about things with a smart chiropractor, through a 324 00:23:37.210 --> 00:23:42.559 framework of monthly campaign's, weekly topics and daily posts, and the short version 325 00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:48.240 of that is identifying those areas of WHO's your ideal person, who would who 326 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.240 would you love to have in your practice? What are the challenges they're dealing 327 00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:55.910 with, and then proactively teaching them something about how they can overcome that challenge. 328 00:23:56.549 --> 00:24:00.349 So that's really a simple framework to start thinking about. How can I 329 00:24:00.390 --> 00:24:02.910 produce content? What do I talk about? Well, heck, who's that 330 00:24:03.029 --> 00:24:04.589 person you'd love to have in your practice? What are they dealing with that 331 00:24:04.670 --> 00:24:07.309 you could help them get over the Hump with? That's a great place to 332 00:24:07.349 --> 00:24:11.660 start teaching and that gives you the opportunity to invite them. If you do 333 00:24:11.779 --> 00:24:15.059 that consistently, you'll find your way to success. And I'm assuming that this 334 00:24:15.259 --> 00:24:25.690 strategy is a synergistic kind of blend of email campaigns, facebook groups. have 335 00:24:25.809 --> 00:24:29.569 an instagram page with the practice. Is that kind of what you guys are 336 00:24:29.609 --> 00:24:32.769 talking about? And then maybe even podcast, and there's so many place you 337 00:24:32.849 --> 00:24:34.769 can go with that. Right. But is that stuff you guys work with 338 00:24:34.809 --> 00:24:38.799 people on? Its helping them kind of established that rhythm and that consistency. 339 00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:44.880 You're digging in perfectly wrong. That's exactly it. There's not a one size 340 00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:48.480 fits all for everyone's solution, but your concept is exactly right on. It's 341 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:55.509 okay. Are the resources that you have access to and interest in. Some 342 00:24:55.710 --> 00:25:00.069 people do navigate more towards, you know, longer form at podcasts. Other 343 00:25:00.150 --> 00:25:03.390 people are great writers, other people are really good on video and just like 344 00:25:03.589 --> 00:25:08.099 to get on share. So what we really provide with the smart chiropractor is 345 00:25:08.220 --> 00:25:12.900 the framework and the structure to be able to, as Jeff said, really 346 00:25:14.059 --> 00:25:18.339 build almost what you think of yourself as an educational institution first and a service 347 00:25:18.420 --> 00:25:23.170 provider second. So you know, monthly campaigns means that instead of when I 348 00:25:23.250 --> 00:25:30.490 was in practice, every day was chiropractic education day. And I'll be honest, 349 00:25:30.690 --> 00:25:33.930 you know, after ten years, part of my inspiration for retiring was 350 00:25:34.529 --> 00:25:41.039 I was board saying the same thing every day for a decade. You know, 351 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.400 sounds like it might be a sublixation coming from your spine, putting the 352 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.119 interference on your nerves. That's what we're going to keep on work. Same 353 00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:52.670 words, same thing, every day, over and over again. I wish 354 00:25:52.710 --> 00:25:56.309 I could have joined the smart chiropractor and really gotten what we think of a 355 00:25:56.430 --> 00:26:00.990 sort of the hybrid approach. Like one of the things jeff comes up with 356 00:26:00.109 --> 00:26:03.460 a brilliant he says, you know, we do the things for you that 357 00:26:03.619 --> 00:26:10.299 you know you should be doing but aren't getting to and and oftentimes it's under 358 00:26:10.700 --> 00:26:15.859 standable. You know, there's very few chiropractors that are researchers, writers, 359 00:26:15.859 --> 00:26:26.170 enders, copywriters, graphic designers, content managers, social media experts, email 360 00:26:26.369 --> 00:26:30.529 experts in office, video streaming experts. In fact, I don't know anybody 361 00:26:30.569 --> 00:26:34.279 who's can knock off, any chiropractor that can knock all those things off. 362 00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:38.880 It takes the team. All these companies, even these individuals that have these 363 00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:45.319 massive followings it don't do hit by themselves. They are randomly pick up their 364 00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:48.750 phone and go, wait, I haven't done this for a week. Maybe 365 00:26:48.750 --> 00:26:52.150 I should put a bunch of them out and randomly put things out. There 366 00:26:52.309 --> 00:26:57.390 is a strategy, in fact a hearly campaign with monthly meant monthly topics. 367 00:26:57.430 --> 00:27:00.109 You know, here's what we're talking about this month. Each week there's a 368 00:27:00.230 --> 00:27:06.380 strategize version of what that month's campaign is all about, and each day there's 369 00:27:06.380 --> 00:27:11.019 a protocol. You actually think about what we do for communications as what your 370 00:27:11.059 --> 00:27:15.220 chiropractic technique would be about. Nobody that suggest you just go up to the 371 00:27:15.299 --> 00:27:18.369 body and randomly do things right. Usually you got a system, you got 372 00:27:18.490 --> 00:27:22.930 a protocol, you got structure, to what am I trying to accomplish, 373 00:27:23.410 --> 00:27:27.529 doing it, knowing if I accomplished it, and then being consistent with that 374 00:27:27.650 --> 00:27:32.200 type of structure. That's really what we provide. A lot of our clients 375 00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:34.480 just go just handle it for me. Thank you. Do what you do. 376 00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:38.640 Thank you very much. I'll never do it myself. And those benefits 377 00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:44.670 are amazing because they are really automatic and automated. And then there's others who 378 00:27:45.109 --> 00:27:48.349 you know really, you know, admire that. Joe Murclas, Josh axe 379 00:27:48.470 --> 00:27:52.470 is and other, you know, health influencers, almost celebrities at this point, 380 00:27:52.509 --> 00:27:57.150 and they become sort of celebrities in their own communities by following a similar 381 00:27:57.230 --> 00:28:02.500 formula. Those guys all have massive teams, I know that, and so 382 00:28:02.660 --> 00:28:06.819 we become sort of your outsource team to handle, you know, the structure 383 00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:10.940 and the daytoday stuff. Make you look great, almost like a rock star 384 00:28:11.019 --> 00:28:12.849 who kind of just gets to get out on stage, be the front man 385 00:28:12.890 --> 00:28:15.970 or woman, and we'll handle, you know, the crowd will handle, 386 00:28:17.009 --> 00:28:18.690 the stage will handle, you know, writing all the music, so you 387 00:28:18.769 --> 00:28:22.329 just get to go out and be the rock star that you are. HMM, 388 00:28:22.410 --> 00:28:27.400 I wish. Yeah, it sounds like you know, basically you guys 389 00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:32.640 are the publicist to the chiropractor. So that ties into my next question. 390 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:36.680 You know Dr Bow and I you guys know Dr Box Pierce, Great Guy, 391 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:40.880 and we kind of had a little bit of a rabbit trail talking about 392 00:28:41.549 --> 00:28:44.710 the frustration that a lot of docs we meet, and I know you guys 393 00:28:44.750 --> 00:28:49.190 meet them too, that they're feeling this big gap between what they really want 394 00:28:49.190 --> 00:28:52.470 to do and know that they need to do, but then they had this 395 00:28:52.549 --> 00:28:55.349 other the voice as Oh, you can't afford that right now. So Huh. 396 00:28:55.859 --> 00:28:59.299 You know again a lot of what you're talking about. It takes not 397 00:28:59.500 --> 00:29:03.380 so much money, rather it takes more time and focused energy. But kind 398 00:29:03.380 --> 00:29:07.140 of encourage the doctors on the call and think about who's on this on this 399 00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:11.049 podcast right now. Is going to be a variety of practitioners. But kind 400 00:29:11.049 --> 00:29:15.210 of think that through as we answer that of what advice can you give them 401 00:29:15.529 --> 00:29:19.130 as far as overcoming that mental hurdle of bridging that gap between what they want 402 00:29:19.130 --> 00:29:22.369 to do what they can afford to do? Number One, I'd say that's 403 00:29:22.410 --> 00:29:27.000 fantastic that you're speaking with with Dr Bou he's Great. We Love strategizing with 404 00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:32.599 him and talking shop on exactly these types of topics. So that's that's absolutely 405 00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:36.279 fantastic. And what comes to mind for me when you mentioned that is we 406 00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:37.789 have an internal saying that we use within our team, but I think it 407 00:29:37.869 --> 00:29:42.309 applies to this and that's results follow actions, you know. So what action 408 00:29:42.430 --> 00:29:48.230 step are you taking today to get the result you desire the day after next, 409 00:29:48.390 --> 00:29:51.269 month, next year? Right, and you don't have to do everything 410 00:29:51.309 --> 00:29:53.980 in a day, but take that one action step. What's that one action 411 00:29:55.019 --> 00:29:56.660 step that you can take today? Then what's that one step you can take 412 00:29:56.700 --> 00:30:02.299 tomorrow? Because I'll guarantee you that if you continue to take positive action steps 413 00:30:02.339 --> 00:30:04.579 to build and grow your practice, you will get the results that you desire. 414 00:30:04.940 --> 00:30:08.450 And I think sometimes the challenge is the overwhelm of thinking you need to 415 00:30:08.529 --> 00:30:14.250 take a hundred action steps yesterday as opposed to taking the one today. So 416 00:30:14.529 --> 00:30:18.369 what I'd say of a word of encouragement to all the docs out there is 417 00:30:18.849 --> 00:30:22.279 just focus in and take away those distractions. Take two to three minutes for 418 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.079 yourself tonight and think about what that one thing you can do tomorrow to move 419 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:27.799 your practice forward. If you start to make that a habit, you're going 420 00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:32.119 to find yourself getting those results you desire before you know it. Jason, 421 00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:34.990 I'm going to push a little bit harder on this one. You know, 422 00:30:36.069 --> 00:30:41.069 this comes down to what's your goal, what's your objective? And you know, 423 00:30:41.150 --> 00:30:44.430 the reality is this is hard work. There is a lot to it. 424 00:30:44.869 --> 00:30:47.109 Jeff is a hundred percent right. You know, if you're a do 425 00:30:47.269 --> 00:30:51.099 it Yourselfer and you know you just, you know, for whatever reason, 426 00:30:51.299 --> 00:30:53.579 want to do it yourself, which I don't even do it all myself. 427 00:30:53.619 --> 00:30:57.420 Jeff doesn't do it all is self. If you're crazy like that, that's 428 00:30:57.460 --> 00:31:00.579 the way to go. You know, take one step at a time. 429 00:31:00.819 --> 00:31:06.369 If you were looking to succeed, if you're looking to win, if you 430 00:31:06.450 --> 00:31:08.769 were looking to, you know, express your best. You know, I 431 00:31:08.809 --> 00:31:11.490 almost think of it like, you know, a bodybuilder, right, even 432 00:31:11.529 --> 00:31:18.079 experienced athletes have a coach, have a team, have the people they need 433 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:25.160 in order to support their success, and that's just an essential nobody does this 434 00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:27.839 by themselves. This is hard work. So if you were trying to get 435 00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:32.079 in shape to you know, even compete in the contest, let alone win 436 00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:37.829 a contest, you would likely hire people to be there to handle those issues. 437 00:31:37.549 --> 00:31:41.349 The biggest issue is is, I sort of said in the very opening 438 00:31:41.430 --> 00:31:45.470 of all of this is that most chiropractors don't understand what this even is. 439 00:31:45.269 --> 00:31:49.940 So if you think of this as just some advertising thing that I know, 440 00:31:49.980 --> 00:31:52.779 I hate social media. I hate facebook, what a waste of my time. 441 00:31:52.819 --> 00:31:56.059 I don't like getting on it. You got all this negativity, like 442 00:31:56.420 --> 00:32:00.849 so many people do, about what you to because they don't understand what it 443 00:32:00.970 --> 00:32:06.210 is, then you're going to go down one pathway and probably not be very 444 00:32:06.250 --> 00:32:10.930 successful. Once people understand the big idea of what you know, getting adjusted, 445 00:32:10.970 --> 00:32:15.720 seeing a chiropractor being a line understanding. Are An eight potential to heal 446 00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:21.839 ourselves, remembering the concept that health is a matter of optimal function, not 447 00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:27.240 just a lack of symptoms, that your practice is about expressing itself and reaching 448 00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:30.789 as many people as possible, not just getting by and paying the mortgage again 449 00:32:30.990 --> 00:32:37.509 few this month. Once you reef structure your goals and understanding, then you 450 00:32:37.630 --> 00:32:39.630 realize, wait, this is a different game. How do I build a 451 00:32:39.829 --> 00:32:46.059 team of people that can consistently get these actions? Jeff's of talking about consistency 452 00:32:46.140 --> 00:32:50.500 is the name of the game. You can do it perfectly once and you 453 00:32:50.579 --> 00:32:55.500 don't win. It is in the follow through in the consistency. One one 454 00:32:55.579 --> 00:33:00.650 adjustment can be life changing, but it's in the consistency over time that you 455 00:33:00.769 --> 00:33:06.930 really get your long term benefits and results momentum. And so, once again, 456 00:33:07.049 --> 00:33:09.569 that's really who we are. We happen to work beautifully with bow. 457 00:33:10.170 --> 00:33:15.880 Bow Happens to be great at the content side himself, which most chiropractors are 458 00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:20.480 not. He focuses very much on sort of the technical search engine optimization, 459 00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:24.720 website stuff, brilliant stuff, top of his game. Great work there. 460 00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:30.349 But that's where we really go parallel, because he is such a pro at 461 00:33:30.509 --> 00:33:35.509 creating his own content. He doesn't rely on us that to the same degree 462 00:33:35.630 --> 00:33:38.269 that most chiropractors have to. And the same thing is true otherwise. You 463 00:33:38.390 --> 00:33:44.059 know, we have so much great content out there that actually provides a lot 464 00:33:44.140 --> 00:33:50.460 of search engine optimization organically. So it's really a perfect fit. It would 465 00:33:50.460 --> 00:33:52.380 be like somebody saying, Oh, I don't need a chiropractor because I have 466 00:33:52.420 --> 00:33:55.490 a personal trainer. What are you're talking about? That makes no sense. 467 00:33:55.490 --> 00:34:00.170 Or have a massage therapist. You know, when you understand what needs to 468 00:34:00.250 --> 00:34:04.329 be done, you have a better understanding as to who you need to hire 469 00:34:04.809 --> 00:34:08.489 to get those jobs done on a consistent basis. And there is a difference 470 00:34:08.489 --> 00:34:13.920 between an expense and an investment. Yes, and he's our investments in that, 471 00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:16.880 actually putting in a little money to make a lot, which is, 472 00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:21.880 you know, the smart move every day of the week. And expense is 473 00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:25.349 something you pay money you don't get as much value what you spent. And 474 00:34:25.469 --> 00:34:29.829 that's really, think, the big difference in mindshift now and I think it's 475 00:34:30.429 --> 00:34:34.070 it's so beautiful how you guys put that, because it really kind of mimics 476 00:34:35.030 --> 00:34:37.429 the chiropractic wellness lifestyle, what we're expecting from our clients, you know, 477 00:34:37.550 --> 00:34:43.260 consistency and doing the home exercises and eating the right way and working on mindfulness 478 00:34:43.300 --> 00:34:46.340 and routines and all the different things that go into the chiropractic lifestyle, and 479 00:34:47.219 --> 00:34:52.340 so that's chiropractors were constantly preaching out with our clients. So this is very 480 00:34:52.420 --> 00:34:54.929 congruent with that and I think you're the doctors in the colony are going to 481 00:34:54.929 --> 00:34:59.329 be very blessed by this. So let's go to this next level. I've 482 00:34:59.409 --> 00:35:04.409 built my health tribe. I'm regularly in front of them now, weekly, 483 00:35:04.449 --> 00:35:10.039 daily, monthly, with research with certain themes and I'm just out in front 484 00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:15.800 of them and I'm building that trust there. They're starting to really like me 485 00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:20.639 and trust me. How do I then begin to and this is beyond the 486 00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:22.590 new patients I get from that that live local to me, but how I 487 00:35:22.710 --> 00:35:27.829 how do I begin to monetize that and how do I really take that to 488 00:35:27.909 --> 00:35:29.710 the next level? Because I know you don't want to do that runaway. 489 00:35:29.710 --> 00:35:31.909 It takes a while to build that tribe. So the three key words are 490 00:35:32.070 --> 00:35:36.179 monthly or occurring revenue. And, Jason, I'd love it if you if 491 00:35:36.219 --> 00:35:38.780 you gave the explanation there. Yeah, sure, you know. We are, 492 00:35:38.820 --> 00:35:42.579 as I said at the beginning, with the book and with our stun 493 00:35:42.820 --> 00:35:46.380 for you, you know, automated communication services. What you're asking is sort 494 00:35:46.420 --> 00:35:49.940 of what comes from all that? Okay, I got all these people. 495 00:35:50.090 --> 00:35:54.289 Now what? And so what we're building is the answer to that, which 496 00:35:54.329 --> 00:35:59.650 is again starts with an understanding follows with the tools and the tactics. The 497 00:35:59.769 --> 00:36:02.969 understanding is, if we start putting this all together, if your next best 498 00:36:04.210 --> 00:36:08.440 new patient is keeping your current patients, my question then becomes what do you 499 00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:16.679 have in place from a business structure that encourages and incentivises those people to stay 500 00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:21.510 with you on some sort of consistent, regular basis. We refer to that 501 00:36:21.590 --> 00:36:24.989 as a proactive membership in your practice. We teach that, we give the 502 00:36:25.110 --> 00:36:30.750 tools for that, but the idea would be if you've got thousands of people 503 00:36:30.989 --> 00:36:36.659 following you online, at least hundreds of them will be local, and are 504 00:36:36.820 --> 00:36:42.380 you able to promote a program, a specific program, for those people that 505 00:36:42.739 --> 00:36:49.050 understand what you're talking about and want to be proactive with their care? So 506 00:36:49.610 --> 00:36:54.170 there's really what we think of at this moment, three models to build recurring 507 00:36:54.369 --> 00:37:00.289 revenue. Again, the sub headline of the book is how to generate your 508 00:37:00.449 --> 00:37:06.440 monthly expenses in one day, guaranteed. So what that means is, Ronald, 509 00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:08.639 just sort of ask you right, you've been in practice for a period 510 00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:15.199 of time. The first day of every month is symbolic to every business owner, 511 00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:20.429 practice owner, because it represents what to fresh new months, fresh starting, 512 00:37:20.949 --> 00:37:23.829 okay, and even if you're just broke, your best financial record, 513 00:37:23.949 --> 00:37:29.989 your best patient number record ever, symbolically, the first of the month is 514 00:37:30.059 --> 00:37:35.300 our way of saying exactly that. Back to zero, all right, and 515 00:37:35.539 --> 00:37:40.260 for many chiropractors it's men. We just climb the peak of the mountain. 516 00:37:40.340 --> 00:37:45.250 And now we're back at the bottom again. This is crazy. Here we 517 00:37:45.409 --> 00:37:49.489 go again, and so what we're suggesting, sort of starting with the end 518 00:37:49.570 --> 00:37:52.210 in mind, is what if you were able to turn the first of the 519 00:37:52.329 --> 00:38:00.119 month from Oh my God, back to zero again into pay day? So 520 00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:06.239 we're teaching the concept that every doctor has what we refer to as an Mvmi, 521 00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:10.159 a minimum viable monthly income. If I ask you the question, how 522 00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:15.269 much money do you have to earn to not feel financially stressed, you could 523 00:38:15.309 --> 00:38:19.230 come up with a calculation of what that number is. If I were to 524 00:38:19.309 --> 00:38:22.590 say I'll write you a check on the first day of every month so that 525 00:38:22.750 --> 00:38:29.059 you never have to financially stress about business again, there's a number and whatever 526 00:38:29.139 --> 00:38:31.500 your number a different for everybody. Whatever your number is, what we're teaching 527 00:38:31.619 --> 00:38:39.219 is is that the benefit of building this audience is so that you can generate 528 00:38:39.900 --> 00:38:45.650 your monthly your minimum viable monthly income, monthly recording revenue, so that every 529 00:38:45.769 --> 00:38:50.530 first day of the month becomes pay day, that you literally set up your 530 00:38:50.690 --> 00:38:54.050 business model so that the first of the month gets you all of the revenue 531 00:38:54.130 --> 00:39:00.480 necessary to cover your monthly expenses. That changes the entire equation of practice. 532 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:05.119 If, from the second to you know the twenty, eight, thirty or 533 00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:08.280 thirty one of every month, you know you got your bills paid, you 534 00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:10.989 can have a lot more fun, be a lot more creative, be a 535 00:39:12.070 --> 00:39:15.269 lot more generous, dare I say, be a lot more honest, because 536 00:39:15.269 --> 00:39:19.829 you can afford to tell the truth about who you want to see what you 537 00:39:19.989 --> 00:39:22.550 recommend they do, and you can afford for them to say sorry, I'm 538 00:39:22.550 --> 00:39:28.179 not interested and let them walk away. That will actually dramatically change the way 539 00:39:28.179 --> 00:39:31.579 all of us practice when more people can actually afford to tell the truth. 540 00:39:31.900 --> 00:39:36.539 This is how you do it. So one is by building a proactive membership 541 00:39:36.619 --> 00:39:39.010 program so for all of those that aren't in pain at this moment, who 542 00:39:39.090 --> 00:39:45.329 have a obvious motivation to be here teaching them about proactive care and having a 543 00:39:45.530 --> 00:39:50.690 business model that makes sense, we've developed something unique and different than just about 544 00:39:50.690 --> 00:39:54.519 anybody else out there that solves that problem. But that's only one of three 545 00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:59.679 options. The second option, is you mentioned this earlier, is that you've 546 00:39:59.719 --> 00:40:05.599 got this whole audience of people following you and many people recommend lifestyle recommendations, 547 00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:12.269 and the most common lifestyle recommendation is something around nutrition. Okay, so we've 548 00:40:12.309 --> 00:40:16.429 developed this very limited and specific line of nutritional products that are what we refer 549 00:40:16.550 --> 00:40:22.460 to as everybody every day nutrition. These are not therapeutic. Oh you've got 550 00:40:22.539 --> 00:40:27.860 this problem, take this supplement. These are things most everybody should be taking 551 00:40:28.340 --> 00:40:32.539 most every day for the rest of their lives. So the thought process is, 552 00:40:32.739 --> 00:40:37.090 I've got thousands of people following me. Maybe it starts to zero, 553 00:40:37.489 --> 00:40:40.250 because to tens and goes to hundreds, goes to thousands eventually millions, like 554 00:40:40.409 --> 00:40:46.969 some people we know. Then offering them your favorite things that they can purchase 555 00:40:47.130 --> 00:40:53.320 from you online, automatic, automated and drop shift, hassle free, without 556 00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:59.000 customer service or out shipping, without the doctor having to deal with any of 557 00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:02.679 that, is the next best way to sort of automate your revenue. And 558 00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:06.550 the third one is, and a lot of doctors are using, you know, 559 00:41:06.989 --> 00:41:15.269 various fitness, Motion Movement Rehab Apps. There are literally multibillion dollar companies 560 00:41:15.469 --> 00:41:21.820 offering digital physical therapy to corporations around the world and all they're doing is some 561 00:41:22.059 --> 00:41:27.739 version of this, with some exercise recommendations and access to their doctors. Multi 562 00:41:28.059 --> 00:41:32.570 billion dollar companies, several of them, doing exactly that. We say to 563 00:41:32.610 --> 00:41:39.130 ourselves well high are chiropractors not offering these types of digital access, digital services, 564 00:41:39.210 --> 00:41:45.090 digital recommendations, exercises, the build an answer and ask questions? Why 565 00:41:45.170 --> 00:41:50.639 are we not offering what it is that people are using, whether it's apple, 566 00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:53.559 fitness or all the other different types of APPs out there? So we're 567 00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:59.559 in development of an APP chiropractors can use to be able to build their audience 568 00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:06.469 and generate that monthly recurring revenue by providing monthly recurring services. And so either 569 00:42:06.550 --> 00:42:08.510 you just want to stay focused on a chiropractor, all I want to do 570 00:42:08.670 --> 00:42:14.710 is adjust. No problem. Then build a proactive membership in your program following 571 00:42:14.750 --> 00:42:17.340 our recommendations. Or, if you like, you mentioned, your more lifestyle 572 00:42:17.539 --> 00:42:22.539 oriented, then get people not on a supplement but on drop, ship, 573 00:42:22.699 --> 00:42:29.460 subscribe and Save Monthly subscriptions to your supplements that don't end. There's never a 574 00:42:29.659 --> 00:42:35.329 time we're not going to take some sort of Multivitamin, grain drink or something 575 00:42:35.449 --> 00:42:39.570 that does provide us the nourishment we all require every day. That should come 576 00:42:39.730 --> 00:42:45.199 from your chiropractor, not costgo target Amazon or somewhere where they just look for 577 00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:50.800 the cheapest option, which is very likely not what you would recommend. As 578 00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:54.559 professional grade. So that's what you do when you've got thousands of people following 579 00:42:54.599 --> 00:42:59.750 you as you teach and invite them. You teach them about the lifestyle things, 580 00:42:59.829 --> 00:43:04.150 whether their adjustments on a regular, consistent basis proactively, whether it's about 581 00:43:04.150 --> 00:43:08.429 the nutrition that everybody should have every day, whether it's about motion and movement 582 00:43:08.510 --> 00:43:13.539 and things you can do in your life and lifestyle using these APPs, and 583 00:43:13.619 --> 00:43:19.380 then you invite them to participate in one of those offerings so that you build 584 00:43:19.619 --> 00:43:24.059 your automatic monthly Minimum Bible and lothly income and you can pay your bills on 585 00:43:24.139 --> 00:43:30.650 a monthly basis optomatically. been more details, but that's how it all fits 586 00:43:30.690 --> 00:43:34.250 together. What you're saying, you guys, are so important for Chiropractic right 587 00:43:34.250 --> 00:43:37.530 now. You know, we we do need to create a tipping point, 588 00:43:37.570 --> 00:43:42.559 and what you're talking about to me is probably the most effective way to do 589 00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:46.760 it. Is this whole comprehensive strategy what bow kind of referred to as the 590 00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:52.679 well rounded marketing machine, because there's docs on the call, myself included. 591 00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:54.440 Were when I do a dinner event, I know I'm going to crush it, 592 00:43:55.070 --> 00:44:00.829 but if I parallel that with a regular web presents in a digital health 593 00:44:00.949 --> 00:44:04.590 tribe man, and then I say, you know, you're doing virtual workshops 594 00:44:04.630 --> 00:44:07.030 and there's just so much potential there. And I think one thing both said 595 00:44:07.070 --> 00:44:13.059 last week. For these growing young chiropractors there are struggling financially, and this 596 00:44:13.179 --> 00:44:15.820 is a principle I do with my associates and I know you both do this 597 00:44:15.900 --> 00:44:19.460 as well as where. Gosh, if you have twenty patients today, cluster 598 00:44:19.539 --> 00:44:22.179 book them see him in two to three hours. Now you got five hours 599 00:44:22.300 --> 00:44:29.489 to produce content. Now you got five hours to personalize your smart chiropractor relationship, 600 00:44:30.050 --> 00:44:32.489 and there's just, I think, docs are you know, and that's 601 00:44:32.530 --> 00:44:37.170 why the whole theme of the show's been business and practice management, because if 602 00:44:37.170 --> 00:44:40.599 we could learn to manage our practice is better and learn to do what you 603 00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:45.000 talked about take the pressure off financially. Chiropractic is meant to be fun. 604 00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:50.960 Being a chiropractor is fun and so many guys are burning out because they're financially 605 00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:53.550 strapped. Their disorganized. They can afford a coach. Well, they need 606 00:44:53.590 --> 00:44:57.110 a coach, for they can't afford it. They can't afford to do your 607 00:44:57.150 --> 00:44:59.670 problem, but they need to do it, you know, because they're stuck 608 00:44:59.670 --> 00:45:02.269 in this Rut, and so I'm hoping that that's the nature of our listeners. 609 00:45:02.309 --> 00:45:05.309 I want to thank you guys so much. I know we kind of 610 00:45:05.309 --> 00:45:07.699 ran out of time here. We could do a whole nother workshop. I 611 00:45:07.820 --> 00:45:10.219 definitely want to have you guys back on. I really appreciate you guys. 612 00:45:10.219 --> 00:45:15.019 I appreciate what you're doing, I appreciate your love for Chiropractic and I just 613 00:45:15.139 --> 00:45:19.260 think, man, our profession is a much better place with you two in 614 00:45:19.340 --> 00:45:22.690 it. And hopefully I'll see you guys at one of these upcoming events in 615 00:45:22.809 --> 00:45:25.570 Park City. Maybe we'll see each other. But for Chiropractors, right now 616 00:45:25.690 --> 00:45:29.769 is our time. You guys. The world needs us to be at our 617 00:45:29.809 --> 00:45:31.969 best now more than ever, and so with that I want to again thank 618 00:45:32.050 --> 00:45:36.800 Cairo touched for their spirit in this.
