TNR Happenings April 1, 2019
Miyagi Seminar on May 17th & 18th
It's not too early to start making plans to attend our next exciting seminar. Friday evening will feature a mystery experience that will go into the wee hours and there will be plenty of snacks to keep you going! On Saturday, all attendees will receive an upgraded "adjustment toolkit": learn how to adjust areas of the body that are neglected by 99% of DCs. Logan Basic has been removed from the Logan College of Chiropractic curriculum but you will learn the technique at the Miyagi Seminar. There won't be any fundamentalism or technique worshipping, just the practical application of once-in-a-lifetime adjusting techniques to assist you in your move from pain relief to much more advanced cases. It’s not enough to attract these difficult cases, you must develop the mindset and confidence to create empirical change with invisible diseases like concussions, anxiety, depression, metabolic illness, pediatric syndromes, etc.
Is Chiropractic a limitless, non-linear way of achieving health or it is limited to a few vertebrae and pain relief? Most DCs aren’t even aware they have a choice. I know I was blind when I first graduated from Chiropractic college. It will take your best effort to develop this unique mindset and confidence; it can’t be viewed on YouTube and it must be earned.
Practice tip of the week
Be patient with people. Everything in society is geared toward disease, limitation, and lack. This is not a negative, it's social conditioning. It’s the world we live in. Instead of attempting to educate and pound it into practice members' heads, take little steps with them. Create relationships of trust first before you attack their beliefs about disease and attempt to replace them with your beliefs about health. Remember, everything in our society is about disease, classification, and diagnosis, not the development of health. War is not about peace.
Not having a Health Awareness Seminar is shying away from our responsibility of educating our practice members about health. Some will not attend or bring a guest. Some will. You’re not doing a Health Awareness Seminar for the ones that won’t attend, only the ones that will attend. Don’t attack their positions on disease. You need to disagree, but not make them wrong. Remember, it’s the strongest belief in the world. Don’t attempt to fight against it. Use inspiration and demonstrate the power of health. Don’t try to convince and prove; help the people who can keep an open mind and who will accept and embrace new ideas.
From the mind of Miyagi
What is it going to take for you to step up: To have record after record personal bests in your practice? To have the best personal relationships you are capable of having? To become the best version of yourself?
Here are a few TNR guidelines to follow:
- Don’t miss training events. They are spaced out to be every other month to put the least pressure on your family schedule.
- Do your homework. Read your workbooks from the TNR events. They include hundreds of pages of the best TNR has to offer. Read TNR and LHNC blogs to keep razor sharp. Re-read your Head-to-Head notes.
- I recommend having a minimum of 2 Head-to-Heads per year. Our advanced members have many more. For those who travel great distances to get to TNR Headquarters, combine your Head-to-Head with a TNR event. You can schedule your Head-to-Head the day before or the day after a TNR event.
- Stop listening to the online and offline opinions of others. This step is so important. Cannabis oil is the latest BSO, pain relief distraction that will take you from being a TNR DC to a lowly paid, lowly respected face-in-the-crowd DC. Your identity as a TNR style DC is sacred, treat it as such.
- Are you offering practice members two levels of care? Are you utilizing the latest new tool from TNR? The tenured members of TNR probably remember the Accelerator Program and NRMs in the past. These have been replaced and upgraded. Now there we offer the 21-Day DCME Video Program. It peels away the invisible emotional and mental layers like the layers of an onion. Your clinical results will soar with this tool.
- Stop attempting to be friends with your practice members. You’re the best friend they ever had as regards health, but you need to have boundaries. The line must be drawn if they are to move past the paradigm of disease towards health.
- Move towards less insurance dependency. Tell people the truth about what they need in your office. Insurance guidelines are deceitful, completely false, and you become a part of this lie when you agree with them. Don’t go cold turkey, continue with the companies that have the least amount of hassle and get rid of the other ones. People will pay cash for a once-in-a-lifetime DC.
- It’s more important now than ever before to preserve the fire in your belly to practice the way of your choosing. Kid care is being seriously outlawed and regulated in many areas. Difficult cases, ditto. Wellness care is a joke in most offices. Lowering fees and having gym-type memberships are moving towards the problem, not the solution. It takes much more effort to be a master at anything: why should your journey in TNR be any different?
DCME confidential
Question 1: I have never attempted a case with x,y,z and frankly I’m a bit intimidated by it. The parents keep asking me pointed questions about the disease and the characteristics. HELP! What should I do?
Answer: What difference does the naming or classification of the disease mean to the resolution or the movement towards health? Your communication skills and relationships of trust will be in full display here. The parents are acting like they know something about their kid’s health. They are merely mimicking the doctor who is supporting the loss of health (problem), not the resolution. Get to removing the layers of interference and don’t step on the disease paradigm landmine.
Question 2: I want to offer a package to a Medicare practice member. Is there anything I should watch for?
Answer: Yes, you can’t offer a package to a Medicare practice member. You look great in every color of the rainbow except an orange jumpsuit. It’s illegal and you will be prosecuted. For DCME packages, work with non-Medicare practice members.
LHNC news
It has started! We received an email confirming the first airline ticket purchased for this year's Boot Camp/Fun Days on August 8th to the 10th:
I will be flying out this month to the Reservation to meet with Kenny Smoker to find out what we are going to be building and what our community service project will be. This year promises to be the most exciting adventure yet. As many may know, a pastor from Michigan is bringing a bus of middle school kids to do missionary work. We are hoping to have 100 volunteers this year. Make sure to be on the lookout for the brand new LHNC digital newsletter. The profiles of our DC and non-DC supporters are really exciting. Keep up-to-date on the planned Boot Camp activities. Don't forget to invite VIP practice members, family, DC colleagues, or friends to this year's Boot Camp. Let's make it special! Everyone will experience a unique takeaway from attending this year’s event. You'll go back to your world with a renewed purpose and sense of gratitude.
21-Day DCME Video Program update
I had a very interesting conversation with a TNR member about the usage of this video. They asked if this could this be used with a practice member who has Alzheimer's? To date, the DCME program has been used with almost every type of metabolic disorder, mental and emotional illness, autism, etc. The answer is there are no contraindications whatsoever for practice members using this program. Depending upon the severity of the loss of health, they may need to be guided through the program. The program is just as valid for them as anyone else. Who knows the far-reaching effects of removing emotional and mental blockages with any illness? Every illness has these accumulated layers of damage and interference to the nerve system. When I was on the phone, I had goosebumps on my arms as we spoke about this application. This is the first usage for Alzheimer's that I am aware of.
