Circle of Docs- Chiropractic Social Network

Have you ever walked out of an exam and thought to yourself, “I did a really great exam, but for some reason, I don’t think the patient fully understood what I was trying to communicate.” What did I do wrong? How could I have done that differently? Today we are sitting down with chiropractic coach, and communication expert, Dr. Russ Rosen as he elaborates on how to most effectively communicate with our patients so they fully understand what we are doing and why. If you like what Dr. Rosen has to say, he is offering a FREE practice kickstart program to the first 100 COD members! Click below and enter your information! The post How to Communicate With Patients in Response to Coronavirus appeared first on Circle of Docs.

Chiropractors from around the world are looking for answers as to how best to communicate with their patients about the Coronavirus.  We have been looking to leaders, associations, and institutions for their best solutions and unfortunately, no one person or place has stood up and led from the front.  In this podcast, I give you my best perspective on how I am handling the situation and it is my hope that you will choose to lead from the front as well.  The post The Chiropractic Response to the Coronavirus appeared first on Circle of Docs.

To be great at Personal Injury we must first understand what we are working with by looking at it from a totally different perspective from what is conventionally taught. Getting it right means big money. You can have a busy practice and do PI well once you master: The System: what works, what doesn’t, the carrier, the patient, the attorney, the arguments. The Injury: what it is, treating it, educating the patient, documenting it (taking the defense arguments off the table), supporting the attorney, closing the patient for future care and future referrals Getting Paid: take the great cases, close the crappy cases as cash, cutting through the BS, UCC liens, supporting the attorney and becoming the go to resource for the great PI attorneys in your area, how to align with the right attorneys to get great consistent referral sources.

Are you interested in animal chiropractic? Today we catch up with Dr. Christina Cole who released a video on Youtube after she adjusted a dog that literally went viral overnight. She is an animal chiropractor who loves serving every type of animal from a squirrel to dog to horse. Take a Listen! Dr. Christina Cole is a licensed human chiropractor, certified by the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association(IVCA) to work on animals. She attended the University of Michigan for her undergraduate program, followed by Life University in Atlanta for her doctorate, and finally attended Options for Animals College of Chiropractic in Kansas to be certified in animal chiropractic. Dr. Christina finds that helping those unable to help themselves is one of the most rewarding experiences in this life. She chose this career simply because her passion for animals is her driving force, and she knew this was a field that needed to grow. Those certified in animal chiropractic are limited, and only a handful of professionals actively practice in Michigan.  

Are you looking for a more high touch, low overhead style of Chiropractic practice? Have you ever heard of a House Call Style of practice?  Today on the COD podcast we sit down with Dr. Jen Faber as she tells us how she went from a overworked high volume clinic to a house call style of practice and doubled her net income.  All the while having a practice where she only works 20 hours a week and visibly less stress. Bio: Dr. Jen Faber is a House Call Entrepreneur and Mentor and is on a mission to teach chiropractors a new freedom to build their practice with house calls. She’s the author of “House Calls are Back” and host of the podcast – House Call Revolution. Dr. Jen left convention years ago to escape the burnout and stress of a high volume practice. She was done feeling trapped by the typical path to building a practice, so she broke free and figured out how to grow a six-figure practice with house calls that gave her more time, less stress, and the freedom she craved. After seven years of building the right systems and being sought-out for advice, Dr. Jen now shows chiropractors on how to build their own successful house call practice.   LINKS To learn more and get exclusive access to free training for COD members, go to www.housecallpractice.com/cod Click the Image below, sign up and receive 3 Free videos to learn more about adding a House Call to your exsisting practice.

Lastly, if you want to take advantage of Dr. Loop’s offer just for COD members, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the red link…. you will not be disappointed. Now, let’s get on with the show! Meet Matthew Loop This is the part where I’m supposed to tell you how great I am, right? You know, where most authors use credibility by association triggers, important buzzwords and brag about accomplishments. Well, instead of boring you I think you deserve the real story “behind the scenes.” I wasn’t always successful, not by a long shot. When I started out online, I didn’t have a million-dollar business or the luxury of a big bank roll like most gurus you might already be familiar with. My parents weren’t rich either. Before discovering the power of social media, I was desperately struggling in business and juggling over $135,000 of loan debt. My credit cards were maxed because of all the ineffective advertising gimmicks I tried. I even went to Bank of America one day and attempted to cash a convenience check. If you’re not familiar with what that is, it’s a preprinted check that’s linked to your credit card. When you cash it, they jack up your interest rate and charge you fees up the wazoo. As I stood at the counter, the bank teller came back from talking with her manager. My palms were sweating and I felt terrible. She politely said they couldn’t cash the check. My heart sank. I felt crushed and was quickly running out of options. I still remember being on the verge of collapse, having more and more anxiety daily. My stomach was constantly knotted up. I was scared because I knew if I didn’t make something happen fast, I’d have to close my doors and take a job waiting tables. That sure wasn’t what I signed up for when I went to grad school. I felt like a total failure because I could not make the traditional promotion and advertising work. By this time, I could hardly afford rent in my one-bedroom apartment. Probably the worst part was when my ex-girlfriend’s dad took me out to lunch one day at Bahama Breeze. After we ate, he presented me with a $2,000 check because he had gotten wind of my financial circumstances. I had no idea this was coming. You might say, “Why was that so bad?” Well, whatever I had left of my ego was totally squashed that day. I was humiliated, and it was a very humbling experience. To say I felt less than a man would be an understatement. However, I had no choice at the time but to accept the loan. Now, the pressure was really on. I had to make things work in a major way. There was just no other option. It’s one thing to let yourself down. It’s another thing to let someone else down—especially when they invest in you. It turns out this situation was the kick in the ass I needed to get laser-focused and motivated to start making things happen. Right after that hardship experience, I began to take an interest in social media and human behavior. I became fascinated with why people make the decisions they make when it comes to purchasing. I started asking myself questions like: Why would someone that clearly needs my service not invest in their health? What psychological factors influenced buying habits? I devoured books on the subject. Probably one of the most powerful books I ever read on the subject was called Influence: The Psychology of Persuasionby Robert Cialdini. It was like a fog had lifted. I finally understood how valuable marketing was in the grand scheme of things. Marketing is simply the ability to effectively communicate (1) what you do (2) to the perfect audience (3) at the right time and (4) in such a way that enables a prospective customer to take necessary action so you can help them. It’s about ethically influencing an individual so they can achieve the result they’re already seeking at a much faster pace. We’ll talk more about influence and psychology later. The rest is, as they say, history. As I began to grow my brick-and-mortar chiropractic practice quickly using the Internet, a friend asked me to show him what I was doing because he was having problems getting the word out about his office. He was completely blown away by what I was doing on Myspace (yes, you read that correctly). After all, everyone I spoke with thought it was a network for kids. A short time later, he began to see brag-worthy results in his own practice by cloning the same social media marketing process I developed. Right around that time I started to realize the power of connecting people who were faced with real problems to effective solutions. If you can successfully do this, others will gladly pay you for your expertise, coaching, and advice. In the mentioned example, my colleague had a problem he needed solved. Chiropractors, like the overwhelming majority of professionals, aren’t trained to market in school, so acquiring new clients when they get out is very difficult for many. However, it’s not difficult for the reason you might think. There’s no shortage of people looking for wellness, holistic health providers, alternatives to medicine, and natural solutions for pain. With that said, why aren’t many chiropractic practices booming like crazy? It’s because these professionals (like most other businesses) don’t know how to properly market and communicate to the people that actually need their services. Marketing is EVERYTHING online and offline, no matter what type of company you have or are thinking about starting! So after I had my little epiphany in 2006, I decided to put my Internet promotion expertise in DVD format so I could reach the masses of other chiropractors worldwide. That was my initial big taste at harnessing the Internet to help others with my specialized knowledge. It was also my first real information product. I still get regular testimonials sent in from professionals that have applied the concepts, letting me know how it’s changed their businesses and lives for the better. I cannot even describe to you what an amazing feeling it is to serve others doing what you love—while getting paid ridiculously well for it. The crazy thing was that my “secondary” source of income eventually overtook my primary practice income. I was totally shocked. The demand increased so much that I had accidentally stumbled upon a career in consulting. I loved helping patients in the office, but I figured that if I was able to show doctors how to reach and serve more with social media, I could directly and indirectly impact millions of people in need. Being able to leave a positive legacy like that really excited me. Throughout the last several years, I’ve been fortunate to train several thousand ordinary people, business owners, brands, consultants, authors, entrepreneurs, and famous public figures. I’ve spoken from stage at world-class events and built a strong loyal following from scratch in a few different industries. You’ll learn how to replicate that process in Social Media Made Me Rich. Over the years, I’ve invested well over $125,000 in “me” (including seminars, private mastermind groups, and courses). I ambitiously did this so I could develop my expertise in order to help people like YOU financially prosper, experience more flexibility, and have a better quality of life by strategically using the internet to start or further scale a business. I’m extremely passionate about helping aspiring entrepreneurs and business owners set up sustainable mini ATM’s online that generate passive recurring paychecks for years to come. You see, social media, such as Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter, aren’t just some hobby for me like they are for most others. I’ve actually built a successful brick-and-mortar business using it. Then, I took that advanced knowledge, applied it to online commerce, and established two highly profitable seven-figure companies from scratch. The Internet has allowed me to sell millions of dollars’ worth of services and products over the years. More importantly, this knowledge has helped my private clients generate over 135 million dollars in extra sales. An important note: I’m NOT one of those entrepreneurs that believes in working and hustling 24/7 without coming up for air. We’ve all seen those guys. You won’t find me chained to an office or creating content every waking hour of the day. Family is first in my book. Traveling the world and experiencing different cultures is second. As you can see by my photos on this page, freedom and flexibility are very important to me. I love what I do for a living and have set my companies up around my ideal lifestyle. I teach private clients how to do the same. The true beauty of doing business online is that if you lay your foundation correctly, all you need is an internet connection, a laptop or smart phone to operate anywhere in the world. If you’re an entrepreneur, brand, author, speaker, coach, or business owner, you’ll find a tremendous amount of value from the insights shared in Social Media Made Me Rich. I’ve developed a reliable blueprint, knowledge and experience to connect anyone (or company) with a BIG vision to their desired outcome.   Links:   SocialMediaMadeMeRich.com  Launch Bonus Just For Circle of Docs  CLICK HERE    Book: 

Summary: Do you ever feel like you have more to say than you can write in a Facebook or Twitter post? Perhaps you are looking for a way to distinguish yourself and your practice from the guy down the street.  Has the  youthought about writing a book? If this task seems daunting, and for 99% of people it is, then have no worries. Today we sit down with the host of the hot new podcast, ChiroCandy with Billy Sticker, as we talk podcasting, marketing and how to write your very own book. Bio: Billy Sticker never set out to become a marketing expert, speaker, or a podcaster, much less an author.  Through a unique turn of events, today he is all of those things. Billy married his high school sweet heart almost 20 years ago.  Shortly after they married, he started a career in sales.  Wanting to be the best he could be, Billy began reading everything he could on subjects like sales, marketing, leadership, and success.  He didn’t just read these books, he studied them, and put them into practice. When he and his wife started having children, he decided to write a book on leadership and success principles that he could leave to his children, and one day grandchildren.  For nearly 7 years Billy worked on his book, The ABC’s of a Leader. In the meantime, Billy had become the director of marketing for a multi-practice chiropractic office.  They immediately started seeing great results using the strategies and marketing efforts Billy brought to the table.  After deciding to document what they were doing, he ended up writing a marketing book for chiropractors.  But this book only took him 3 weeks to complete, start to finish! When he realized how easy it was for him to do this in a short amount of time, he wanted to help other’s do the same. He now has written 4 books and created a system for helping chiropractors write a book to help marketing their practices.  He also has created a coaching community for chiropractors, C4: ChiroCandy Coaching Community). His podcast, ChiroCandy, is listened to by chiropractors in over 40 countries world wide.   Links:  The Special Link and offer that Billy is offering to COD members Other links: To go check out the ChiroCandy podcast

Summary:  On the Circle of Docs podcast today we sit down with Dr. Dan Sullivan and talk all about Chiropractic and how doctors can start using technology combined with research to elevate their voices within their community.  Dr. Sullivan brings a unique perspective to todays Chiropractic message and is one that every DC worldwide needs to hear. About: Dr. Dan Sullivan is a chiropractor, speaker, author, and one of the most sought after health experts in the United States. He’s well-known for showing chiropractors the profound science and proof behind what they do to give them certainty in communicating to the public. Dr. Sullivan began investing himself into the world of Chiropractic in 2004. His mission began with building one of the  largest  single-doctor natural healthcare clinics in the state of Nebraska. Dr. Dan expanded his pursuit to the world of  research and  education in 2012, speaking to students, doctors, and the public while serving as an Official Chiropractor for  the United States  Wrestling team during the 2012 London Olympics.  He currently lives with his wife and daughters in  Atlanta, Georgia, where he  passionately continues to research and speak on the scientific validation of the Principle of  Chiropractic.  Dr. Sullivan’s passion for health care revolution took root in a childhood shared with seven brothers and sisters, two of  whom have  since become medical doctors. Dr. Dan demanded an understanding of the cause of diseases that entered  homes just like his and a  world that profits from the treatment of symptoms that maintain an endless cycle of sickness.   His search for truth led him through  Doctoral School in Minnesota and advanced chiropractic training in Naples, Florida before opening his first clinic.  Witnessing the life changing results with thousands of patients each week inspired Dr. Dan to begin coaching and mentoring Chiropractors and Chiropractic students on the devastating effects of vertebral subluxation and the power of an adjustment. He developed a deep desire to fully understand the very real and negative impact of subluxation on human health.  Dr. Sullivan’s journey and research produced an undeniable truth: the medical model of health care needed to change. The power of a chiropractic adjustment forms the foundation for reforming a hopeless, drug-stricken pathogenic system into a true health and salutogenic-care model founded in vitalistic principles. Chiropractors must lead this charge!Societal reformation is a natural step of progress. Health care must evolve through education. Chiropractors must own the current principles and science behind the power of Chiropractic. Society can then be properly infused locally and nationally with the reality that health care need not be sick care! The truth will lead the way! Dr. Sullivan’s simple and profound explanation and application will help every doctor deliver the truth to their community. Whether speaking publicly or teaching a new patient, the power of the message ignites with the truth and a vision. This truth has the power to change every clinic in every town.  Whether struggling or successful, all new or experienced chiropractors are empowered to bring life and hope to each and every community. Chiropractors are the most relevant healthcare provider in every community. It is time the world understands why! Links: The Chiropractic Advocate
