Along this journey of becoming a full-time holistic practitioner, you go through a lot of changes. Before you even start your own practice, you’ve gone through a bunch of changes: From not knowing about this medicine to wanting to heal patients for a living, you’ve come a long way. But how do you get from where you are to where you want to be?  The answer isn’t working harder or waiting to get lucky–it’s what you’ll hear in this episode. If you’re ready to catapult yourself to the next level and reach your goals as a practitioner faster than ever before, listen now! Show highlights include:  Why “feeling good” should never be your goal (and what to strive for instead). (4:46) The one emotional driver that leads you to make high-risk decisions. (13:27) The most important ability you need to cultivate so you can leapfrog to the next level (this has nothing to do with marketing, business or sales).

If you haven’t reached your goal with your practice yet, growing it can feel like a slog. You work hard and do everything experts tell you to do. But you’re still not booked out.  If that’s the case, you’re missing one thing: Momentum.  Momentum multiplies the value you get out of your work and lets you get more results out of the same work. And the best thing about it is: Momentum accelerates. The more of it you get, the more results you see.  If you want more momentum in your practice and in your life, listen to this episode. You’ll find out exactly how to gain more momentum and make all your work actually fill your practice.  Show highlights include:  The most important decision you’ll make as a holistic practitioner (this alone can fill your practice with patients). (5:05) The no. 1 quality you need to master the “momentum mindset” (you probably have this already. Now shine a light on it). (9:50) How to eliminate your cash flow problems without becoming too expensive for those you serve. (14:30) If you want your practice to go anywhere, you need to create one thing. It’s free and takes nothing but your mind. (21:00) Ready to fill your practice and keep it full?

The STS method makes getting, booking and treating patients simple. But if you want to see any results from it, you’ve got to put what you learned into practice.  In this episode, you’ll hear exactly what you have to do to get more paying patients in the door using the STS method.  If you’re ready to have patients seeking you out instead of writing endless blog articles, you need to listen to this episode.  Show highlights include:  Why specializing doesn’t mean you can’t treat other conditions anymore—and how focusing on one thing lets you treat more patients, not less. (1:15) How messaging about “finding more balance” will be ignored every time. (3:35) If you know your real healing power, why don’t you market that? Here’s how you can legally market your treatments for “serious” problems. (5:35) The worst AND most common way practitioners market themselves–and why the easier opposite of that gets you 10x more patients. (12:30) Ready to fill your practice and keep it full?

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?

Most holistic practitioners think they’ll take the straight road to success. They believe one thing will lead to the next and they’ll see dozens of smiling patients per day.  But when reality kicks in and things outside of their control happen, they fight what’s happening instead of focusing on making a bigger impact and building their dream practice. In this episode, you’ll hear all about how to avoid this trap and use whatever is happening to your advantage.  You’ll not only grow your practice quicker–you’ll also be happier and more at peace instead of worrying about what happens around you.  Show highlights include: How holistic practitioners suffocate their own success right as it begins to happen. (3:20) How to use your way of treatment on your own practice. (6:25) The secret to “healing” your practice and making it the haven you want it to be. (12:40) The worst (yet most common) way of responding to pressure. (15:35)  Ready to fill your practice and keep it full?

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?

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?

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?

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?

Seeds and Striving

Seeds and Striving

2019-06-0221:28

Being a holistic practitioner isn’t just a job. It’s really a mission. But it’s also a journey. On your journey, you’ll hear a lot of people talk about you. Some will praise you, others will talk behind your back. The only thing you can control is you. And you’re who controls whether your journey ends with a flourishing practice full of patients or with a broken dream and an office job. You’ll make many decisions on your journey, but one is the most important one: Will you be driven by ego? And if you’ve never thought about what you’ll hear in this episode, chances are your ego has already made that decision for you (and it’s not in the passenger seat). Listen now to learn more about how you can advance your journey by defeating your ego. Show highlights include: Forget all the bells and whistles… here are the 3 only things you need to make magic happen for your patients. (6:25) How “seed intelligence” lets you accomplish anything you want with what you have NOW. (8:25) What Chi really is—and how to leverage it to reach your goals effortlessly. (9:15) The place where all healing comes from—and the exact words that teach your patients to use this so they see results. (17:50) Ready to fill your practice and keep it full?

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?

Many holistic practitioners like to talk about the universe giving them something or about putting their intentions into the universe. All of that might sound nice, but the truth is: The universe doesn’t really care all that much and it’s you who has to make things happen. In this episode, you’ll hear how to take responsibility and make things happen without blaming failures or successes on the universe. As a result, you’ll be in control of your destiny, deciding how many patients you work with and how much they will pay you. Show highlights include: - If you doubt yourself as a practitioner, do this and take back control over your own thoughts. (3:10) - You can absolutely get messages, but if you don’t realize this, they’ll never translate into any real-world results. (6:45) - The single quality which will let you run a successful clinic AND be a healing presence for your patients. (7:10) - Why to expect mistakes—and why they’re often more important than your successes. (9:00) Ready to fill your practice and keep it full?

As a holistic practitioner, you’re always trying to attract patients to your practice. Without patients, you’re not just out of money, but you’re also out of opportunities to touch lives and change them for the better. You eventually have to face an uncomfortable question: How do I sell my services? In this episode, you’ll hear how to think about sales in a positive way and get high-paying patients who come back without selling out your purpose. If you apply what you hear in this episode, you will change more lives than you’ve ever imagined. If you don’t, you might not have a practice—but a hobby.

(2:45) - How to stay connected to your loving self and never overstep those boundaries—even if you have to sell something.

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.

(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?

You can run an amazing practice filled with patients and employees, but if you’re driven by a mission, you care less about the numbers than you care about the impact you can make by healing people. And that’s what it all comes down to. That’s why in this episode, you’ll hear from Montserrat Gonzales how she achieves results for her clients that she calls “kind of insane”. You’ll find out about how she gets her patients the results they seek and which systems, mindsets and practices play a part in that. Show highlights include: - If you really care about making your clients feel better, you need to ask fewer questions. Here’s why. (0:55) - Why never to tell patients to quit their job or make other radical changes in their lives—and how to get them the insight to make the change they need.

You can have a filled practice that serves hundreds of patients a week. But when you don’t have a process for healing them, they’ll abandon you. Having a system that works for your patients is what makes the difference between having raving fans that tell your friends about you and burning through patients one after another. In this second part of Montserrat’s interview, you’ll hear how she turns patients into fans after she transformed her system for treating clients. Show highlights include. - If you’re looking to grow, you’ll need this quality (it might sound a bit old-timey at first, but it’s absolutely crucial if you’re looking for success). (0:55) - Why your body language and the way you talk can repel your patients—and how to keep attracting patients without changing your body language. (8:10) - Are you really the healer?

You’re on a journey. A journey to become a sought-after practitioner that heals people. But there’s no straight road to any place worth going, and you eventually face challenges. Whatever your personal challenge at the moment, the best way to get past it quickly is to see how others have done what you’re trying to do. That’s why today’s episode features Montserrat Gonzales, one of Chris’ co-coaches and a successful practitioner herself. When you listen, you’ll discover what makes the difference between those practitioners who see 40 and more patients a week and those who pay a lease on an empty practice. Show highlights include: - You own a practice, which means you own a business. Here’s the 4 key skills you need to succeed with your business. (2:50) - The two things you need to move past any barrier on your journey to a successful practice (these have nothing to do with marketing or business).

Your patients are the lifeblood of your practice. Without them, you’re not making any money or impacting any lives. That’s why it’s so heartbreaking to see them leave, whether they decided to not work with you (anymore) or chose a different treatment. You can do better. And in this episode, you’ll hear how you can get your patients to keep coming back and to send their friends to you for treatment. Show highlights include: - How to tune in to “Limitless Joy” to stay calm and serve your patients with a clear mind, even if you’re stressed.

(6:40) - If you’ve ever taken a road trip without Google Maps, you know what your patient most desperately desires. Give it to them and they’ll be your biggest fans.

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?

You’ve probably heard a few different opinions on working for “free”. Some people love giving free consultations because they get in more paying patients, others say they devalue your treatment. Frankly, both of these ways of thinking are driven by greed. In this episode, you’ll hear how to think in terms of serving your purpose instead of stuffing your own wallet. You’ll find out how to turn prospects into patients without feeling like a greedy corporation. Show highlights include: - How to eliminate “price” objections and allow your patients to see that they’re making an investment in themselves with you. (4:00) - Why it’s better to not tell your patients when their chances of healing are slim. (19:30) - Why doing packages for your services can get you sued with minimal odds of winning.
