How The "STS" Method Will Get You More Patients Fast, Part 1
When you first started your practice, you probably thought it would be easy: Do some marketing to get patients every week, treat them and live a happy life full of impact. But along the way, things probably started to seem a lot more complicated. And most practitioners find one thing most complicated: Getting Patients.  Maybe you’ve also tried method after method to get more patients, jumping from one strategy to the next. If that’s you, there’s a good chance you’ve thought something like “that’s not what I became a practitioner for”.  Here’s the good news: With the “STS” method, your marketing becomes so simple that you can focus on serving your patients and making an impact, NOT trying to figure out some high-tech marketing software. In this episode, you’ll find out how to put the STS method into action for your practice. Show highlights include: Ban all the complicated tactics from your head–here’s what marketing is, summed up in 4 words. (1:10)The biggest marketing mistake practitioners make (and how to fix it with what you already know). (9:35)Which people never to market to (you’ll not only make less money, you’ll also fail your purpose as a healer). (11:25)The biggest fear that holds back holistic practitioners from building a practice that lives up to its potential. (19:45) Ready to fill your practice and keep it full?

The Biggest Self-Limiting Factor Of Them All

The Biggest Self-Limiting Factor Of Them All
As a holistic practitioner, you’re probably critical of some of the practices of the allopathic medical community.  One of the most common criticisms is the greed of big pharma companies. But when it comes down to it, even many acupuncturists are greedy. Because greed isn’t just a money-addiction.  In this episode, you’ll find out how greed sneaks into your thinking and infects your practice. You’ll discover how to spot it, end its damaging presence and replace it with a perspective of service.  That way, you not only avoid a practice crippled by greed, but build a practice fueled by love and driven by service. You’ll become the practitioner people seek out—not the one whose patients leave after a single session. Show highlights include: Why reflection is the skill every practitioner needs—and how it frees you from bad luck and feeling like a victim. (2:25)The REAL meaning of greed—and how to let go of your desire for more. (9:05)The simple realization that cancels greed and lets you be happy, whether your practice is flush with patients or you’ve never given a single treatment. (16:15)The single book chapter that teaches you everything about eliminating greed. (17:05) Ready to fill your practice and keep it full?

Big Impact Requires Big Decisions. Here's How To Make Them

Big Impact Requires Big Decisions. Here's How To Make Them
Impact is the no. 1 thing holistic practitioners strive for. It’s watching your patients enter with a frown and leave with a smile that really drives us. But most practices don’t create maximum impact. Most practitioners don’t get patients results, get distracted by their emotions instead of being present with their patients and slack off on their marketing once they’ve got patients. The reason most practitioners are stuck isn’t that they’re lazy, it’s that they’re afraid to decide. They’re afraid of deciding on a treatment for a patient—and the patient doesn’t see results. They’re afraid of paying money for marketing—so their calendar stays empty. The big impact killer is fear. You’ll discover how to make those important decisions in today’s episode. Show highlights include: The big secret to getting referrals, growing your practice consistently and do away with the constant ups and downs. (1:45)Here’s what you have to do before you can heal anyone—and it has nothing to do with certificates, degrees or diplomas. (9:15)How to impact people without ever meeting them in person–and improve your own life at the same time. (15:50)The drive you need to remind yourself of to “switch off” your fear of growing your practice and delivering results. (16:20) Ready to fill your practice and keep it full?

Avoid Self-Sabotage By Understanding This Important Principle

Avoid Self-Sabotage By Understanding This Important Principle
If you think of success in your practice, what do you think of? You probably imagine some highlight reel. A patient brought to tears after your treatment changed his life, a packed schedule and an income that affords you your dream lifestyle. Those magical moments exist. And if you follow the proven path to a successful practice, you will have those touching moments. But if you imagine success as a practitioner as a 24/7 highlight reel, even the most committed patients and life-changing results will frustrate and disappoint you. REAL success looks different. In this episode, you’ll hear how to think about success as a practitioner so that you’ll reach your goals better and get more satisfaction out of them. And that is how you become the loving practitioner you dreamt of when you first got into natural healing. Show highlights include: Why NOT chasing the exciting moments of life as a successful practitioner will create more of those moments in your life (seeking out excitement actually dulls the best moments and sucks the life out of your practice). (2:35)The most addictive feeling in the world (unfortunately, it’s NOT love) and how it can either destroy your life or fuel your practice and help you become the practitioner you desire to be. (4:45)The “trigger” that lets you double your practice within a year—this is NOT a complicated marketing system and actually makes your work easier, not harder. (13:05)How “boring” work gets your patients better results and turns your practice into the haven your patients desire. (15:10) Ready to fill your practice and keep it full?

The REAL (counterintuitive) Key To Personalized Patient Care.
Each patient who comes to you is unique. They have unique problems and require unique solutions. Unlike conventional doctors, we don’t see our patients as numbers in a spreadsheet. But how do you know what treatment your patients really need? If you do this the wrong way, you’ll not only lose them after a few (or a single) appointments, but they’ll feel as bad after your treatment as before. If you want to become a healing presence that transforms lives, listen to this episode. You’ll learn how to make your patients healthy, happy and you’ll hear them thank you when they walk into your practice for their next appointment. Show highlights include: Why your patient’s medical condition usually isn’t their real problem—and how to unearth that real problem, help them live a better live and make them feel so alive they can’t resist coming back to you. (2:55)Why NOT to give all your patients custom treatments will get them better results and help you book more appointments. (5:30)How to give personalized care without poring over books for hours or strategizing in your office (you’ll need to create a certain “framework” for this, but then it’s almost on autopilot. (10:30)How a framework sets you the borders you need to become more creative and find the individual solutions your patients need. (12:55) Ready to fill your practice and keep it full?

The Most Self-Destructive Distraction

The Most Self-Destructive Distraction
You’ve encountered your fair share of obstacles on your journey to running the practice you want to run. Some of them might be physical (i.e. not having your own location), others might be skill-related (need to go back to school), but the most challenging obstacles are emotional ones. When your emotions are out of swing, you won’t see the results you deserve for your hard work. If you depend on your emotions to get work done, you won’t consistently get results. One of the most toxic emotions is envy. When you think of what others have and see what you don’t have, you’ll always be inferior to them. Instead, listen to this episode and find out how to deal with envy (and other damaging emotions) and use it to your advantage. Show highlights include: -The common habit (conventional doctors do this a lot) that makes your patients feel like you’re not listening to them—and eventually sends them to your competition. (3:40) -Why you can’t transform any patient before you transform yourself. (10:10) -How to spot a fake “guru” (once you pick up on this, “unlearn” what they told you and run the other way). (11:15) -The only thing you need to do to escape envy (this has nothing to do with getting better than everyone, quite the opposite). (13:15) Ready to fill your practice and keep it full?

Knowledge vs. Power - It's Not What You Think, Part 1
All sorts of “experts” and professors like to say it: Knowledge is power. Reading every book on earth doesn’t grow your practice. Information by itself doesn’t change patient’s lives or attract more patients to you. When you take the wrong actions, you might take 10 years for the same progress others reach in months. The truth is: Knowledge and power are not the same thing. They’re related, but different. In this episode, you’ll hear how to use the two in conjunction so you control what you charge, how many patients you work with and how you run your practice. Applying what you hear in this episode will help you turn all the books you’ve read and the courses you’ve taken into action which turns your practice into the healing haven you know it can be. Show highlights include: - How to gain the power to change your and your patient’s lives without having to build a home library or getting another degree. (4:20) - The single action that turns valuable knowledge into impactful action that changes lives. (10:15) - If you want to fill your practice with patients and create any result in your life—develop this skill to become in control of your practice and life. (11:20) - Once you’ve started gaining power—here’s how to “snowball” your power and make it easier to amass more and more of it. (13:40) Ready to fill your practice and keep it full?

Effortless Retention And Eternal Referrals, Part 1
As a holistic practitioner, you're a transformer of lives—not a tacky salesperson. Your purpose and passion are to heal others without "hard closing" patients. But you can't make a living doing what you love if you don't sell. So what do you do? Having a thriving practice lets you keep healing others. But using high-pressure tactics would be selling out your values. You need to strike a delicate balance that keeps your practice full and your heart happy. In today's episode, you’ll hear how to ethically book yourself solid with new and recurring patients by staying true to your mission. Show highlights include: - Why having no selling skills is irrelevant when trying to skyrocket your holistic practice. (02:05) - The first thing you MUST say after a patient agrees to work with you (turn a blind eye to this and risk losing their trust and confidence... FOREVER!). (11:44) - The ONE excuse responsible for your empty schedule. Never think or say these 3 words ever again if you want a successful practice! (14:08) - What many holistic practitioners think about themselves that patients pick up on instantly (and will make them escape your office in a flash). (18:24) - Find out what goes on in emergency meetings when business is slow for my associates! If you don't use this "high-level discovery" strategy, forget about referrals or even steady patient traffic. (21:06) Ready to fill your practice and keep it full?
