TNR Seminar and MasterMind September 14th and 15th
It sounds silly to be promoting a September event in July, but the summer flies by so quickly! The Saturday seminar is a very rare, non-specialized event that is essential to make sure all the other seminar’s concepts and strategies (DCME, Miyagi, Super Academy, and Head-to-Heads) are being implemented in your office. There is quite a range of members in TNR right now, from brand new to seasoned practitioners. I received a text from a 4-year member who just set a personal best record for one month after 22 years of practice. To keep refreshed, review and implement TNR concepts to make sure they are part of your complete system that works for you 365 days a year. This creates true economic advantage for your office regardless of technique, insurance inclusion, or location. The MasterMind speaks for itself. This Friday edition of the highest level concepts in TNR is presented a la private school to an intimate audience from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. More members have 3, 5,10x their income under the effect of constant MasterMind attendance than any other offering. Economics are not at all linear or analytical; they are as emotional as eating is. Without new forms of input, your economic thermostat will not budge. So many DCs outside of TNR continually attempt to buy BSOs to refute this claim; but their temporary gains, if any, evaporate because of the lack of an underlying new system of belief.
LHNC Fundraiser ends tomorrow
Miyagi’s birthday is the day to send all of your backpacks or other donated items that you have collected to Kenny Smoker. Send all monetary donations to TNR headquarters and make sure the checks are made out to Love Has No Color. You can remind your practice members today and tomorrow that we need a last thrust to put us over the top. Every donation helps us help more kids. The solar-powered greenhouse dome will be historic. The high quality, non-perishable food, the backpacks, the kid-sized tee shirts, underwear, socks, and travel sized shampoo, soap, and deodorant will go so far in having kids enjoy brighter futures. Don’t forget to get your kids in on the celebration. Donate in their names. We have some kids in Michigan who cut lawns and babysit and then donate their money to LHNC. Remember the 6-year-old who raised $600 on gofundme and requested the song Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple? His mother is playing in the band on keyboards!
Practice tip of the week
This is a heads up to newer practitioners and not-so-new practitioners. One of the most ingrained programs and conditioned beliefs (and thus behaviors) of almost all DCs is when we see a new patient, we immediately morph into the helping or solving mode. We just can’t help wanting to help or solve people’s problems, but we make an invisible mistake doing so. We unwittingly only let people see a fraction of what Chiropractic is…pain and symptom relief only. When we exclusively speak the language of disease, they never learn the language of health and remain devoted to the removal of symptoms only. We address the small picture and don’t focus on the trust, the emotional connection, and the relationship. This allows the practice member to pull us into the swampy, brackish polluted water of disease care, with no corrective care, no wellness, no kids, etc. Here are a couple of illustrations that will demonstrate the concept:
Patient # 1: A Millennial mother saw your blog on your website and she is bringing her 5-year-old daughter to you for chronic constipation.
Scenario A - Typical Way
The typical way is focusing on the problem. How many times do they poop a day? What makes it worse, what makes it better? What doctors have been seen, medicines taken, restrictive diets, etc. "In this office with adjustments, we take pressure off a nerve that goes to the lower bowel and rectum. It will return to its normal function."
Editors note: When this is accomplished do you see how they think it's time to leave and come back only when there is a problem again?
Scenario B - TNR Way
"You know Mary, I think constipation is overlooked, undervalued, and trivialized somewhat. Most doctors just don’t think it's that big a deal. So what if the kid doesn’t poop, just give them a suppository and some drugs. Me, I think it’s the beginning of much bigger problems. Your child can’t absorb food and their nutrients, regardless of how organic, gluten-free, vegan, or vitamin enriched they are. The discomfort, the frustration of being different than other kids, and not wanting to participate in social and sports activities, all take their emotional, physical and social toll. At a very early age, we are reinforcing poor health on a kid and saying that’s the best that can be done as a society for a child. I don’t agree. It’s not right or healthy to be constipated and it’s my job to get your child healthier and healthier. Every layer of interference or compromise we remove with adjustments allows your child to be healthier. And not just with elimination, its emotions, how they handle frustration, how they fit in with friends, how confident they are their worldview, etc. Forcing your child to eliminate with drugs is not what I do. Allowing your child to express more health is what I do.
Patient # 2: Depression or anxiety in a child.
Scenario A - Typical Way
Asking how long it has been going on, what makes it worse, does the time of year make it worse, what triggers it, what helps or relives it, how many doctors have been seen, what type of medication has been taken, etc. We remove interference to the nerve system and the depression lifts.
Scenario B - TNR Way
"You know Kayla, I think depression is one of the most overlooked, underrated, and one of the most serious illnesses there are. Most doctors just don’t get that by covering it up and not getting to the heart of the matter, it becomes chronic and can lead to everything from addiction, crime, violence, anger, rage, etc. So many children have it so there is a tendency to trivialize it or make it seem almost normal. It isn’t. Any teenager or adult that has had depression morph into something terrible will say the same thing; they wished someone had taken this seriously when they were younger. Chronic depression just doesn’t go away on its own. This didn’t just get this way overnight, and it will take some time to re-establish health. Emotional and mental illness is invisible. It isn’t as easy as injuring something physical, like a knee or elbow. Joint replacement and surgery are not possibilities and yet emotional and mental health (PTSD, concussions, addiction, anger, defiance, etc.) issues create much more suffering and tragedy than physical injuries. If you are all about getting to the bottom of this problem and not putting your kid on drugs for years, I’m your guy."
Editors note: These viewpoints seem like the same thing, but they are not. If you are merely a problem solver, you will be respected and treated like a face-in-the-crowd generalist. If you are a once-in-a-lifetime specialist, then people will drive for miles to see you.
The power of influence
Almost all TNR members from the past and present didn’t get here on their own. Usually, it has been someone strongly recommending that they get a hold of Dr. Kevin to right their ship or start truly upping their game. All over social media there are slumping DCs that are publicly telling of their woes. It's so difficult and you have to swallow your pride to welcome the help you need to actualize your true potential. We live in an age of playing small and appearing like we’re doing well when we really are not living up to our potential whatsoever. We all know that there are only 2 types of people in trouble: ones that want help and ones that need help. TNR can only help the former, not the latter. If you know of a colleague that is not reaching their true potential, set aside time to call (not a text or email) them and let them know that there is help available for DCs who want to be the best versions of themselves possible. As you know, you don’t join TNR, it becomes a part of you!
All members and crew for Boot Camp need to register!
We want a comprehensive list of all attendees and cell phones for communication. If your plane is late, the group needs to know. If this is your first trip to the reservation, you probably are unfamiliar with the ‘reservation hesitation’.
DCME news
If you attended the last DCME training, please send a testimonial. I did not get a chance at the actual seminar to ask you, but I would love to get a testimonial for TNR. Please note that these are only used in-house to this closed-door event. These will not be seen online or mass marketed. And by the way, who would understand a word of DCME without being in TNR anyway?
Pet snakes, anyone?
Can you imagine the shock of discovering a 4-foot snake in your second-floor bathroom? It can’t get through locked windows and it didn’t use the front door, so it must have made its way from the toilet!!! This really happened!!!
