The Remarkable CEO for Chiropractors

“If you can’t see it...you can’t be it.”The question for the CEO remains how well do you see it and do you really believe it?

Where is it for you as a leader... Then where is it for your team? And then where is it for your patients right now?Visions are caught, not taught.

Are you a leader worth following? Are you modeling the behaviors you want to see from your people? As the CEO, YOU are the high-water mark. Your people will never sustainably surpass your commitment, your discipline or your execution. Your Team’s behaviors will reflect your behavior. The same can be said of your patients. The reality is, you get the behavior that you model. As a leader, you don’t have the luxury of saying one thing and doing another, you must lead by example both in your actions.Here’s the good news: you have massive influence on the behaviors (and therefore the outcomes) of the people that are following you. You want better outcomes? Model the behaviors that drive the outcomes you desire.Listen in as Drs. Stephen and Pete share their personal experiences and prepare to answer this one question: What is the one behavior that you are committed to change right now?This may be the most important step you take towards the business that you’ve always wanted. You don’t get what you want...you get what you model. What We Covered: 00:38 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen introduce today’s topic, You Don’t Get What You Want, You Get What You Model, Part 204:25 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen pose a reflection question to the audience: What is one behavior thatyou are committed to change today?13:02 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen take a moment to promote Chiro Match Makers and the upcoming Remarkable Retention Immersion14:59 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen talk about challenges they’ve faced along this journey18:13 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen speak to the difficult balance of having both a Remarkable Practice and a Remarkable Life25:39 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen reiterate the importance of modeling the correct behaviors EPISODE QUOTES “We talk about, in the CEO’s journey, there’s two significant transformations. There’s the identity shift, which is shift number one. And there’s the behavior shift, which is shift number two.” (02:48) (Dr. Pete)“For those of you who have thought about having interns come into your office or preceptors, or Associate Doctors, I say absolutely do it. Even if it’s just for the benefit of knowing there’s gonna be an elevated consciousness because you’re modeling all the time.” (09:40) (Dr. Stephen)“I think I can share as well, with great confidence, that I also am very proud of the way I’ve modeled my practice. I think that’s why so many docs did come and want to train and work with us. Associates would come for one to two years because they simply wanted to train with us.” (15:31) (Dr. Pete)“Part of the pain point is it wasn’t modeled so therefore we had to figure it out and fail so that we could then begin to get awareness and change our perspectives and behaviors to become modeling for how to do that.” (17:53) (Dr. Pete)“If they’re not exercising, are you exercising? If they’re not eating right, are you eating right? If their thought life is sideways, how about yours? You gotta ask yourself, ‘Am I modeling these things?” (26:36) (Dr. Stephen) LINKS MENTIONED Dr. Stephen’s LinkedInDr. Peter’s LinkedInThe Remarkable CEO WebsiteDr. Stephen’s Book – The Remarkable Practice: The Definitive Guide to Build a Thriving Chiropractic BusinessChiro Match Makers WebsiteSchedule a Brainstorming call with Dr. PeteJoin us for the US Retention Immersion.

As the CEO, you love LEVERAGE!There is no more highly leveraged step in your patient process than THE WORKSHOP!One a patient goes to workshop, every visit gets easier...If a patient does not go to workshop – every subsequent visit gets harder. The purpose of the workshop is to:1. Challenge and shape the attendee’s belief system2. Equip them to get BETTER RESULTS FASTER3. Recruit them to the Mission You must create the space and time to make this happen...If you do – you will create long term, happy patients who want chiropractic care.Otherwise, you’ll be dragging people along until they quit.Losing patients is off-purpose and bad for business.Listen-in and discover the keys to powerful workshops. What We Covered: 00:37 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen introduce today’s topic, Turning Believers Into Understanders at the Better Results Faster Workshop03:15 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen analyze three scenarios they have observed regarding the workshop05:01 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen detail the process of converting believers into understanders by leveraging the workshop06:53 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen take a moment to promote Innate Radiology08:59 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen discuss the paradigm shift that is necessary within the workshop17:15 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen stress the importance of Table Talk22:01 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen talk about the inherent value of the workshop and why it must be important to you and your team26:53 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen take a moment to promote Atlas Digital & The Remarkable Retention Immersion30:43 – Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen talk about the importance of showing up and sharing your heart and head EPISODE QUOTES “We talk about how the patients have a life of possibility and a life of probability ahead of them.

Do they feel like they’re in the right place? Do they feel you’re gonna help them get what they want? That’s why people start care. But people stay under care based on what they know.” (04:27) (Dr. Stephen)“Understanders are like helium balloons. You can gather them up and you can carry an infinite number of them. So, we want to take the believer and turn them into an understander. And the workshop is really the pivot point.” (06:24) (Dr. Pete)“We have to understand that we are living in an outside-in world. The paradigm is outside-in. It’s an allopathic way of thinking. It just is the way that it is. It’s where people are at now. And so, we first have to identify that there is a paradigm.” (10:58) (Dr. Pete)“Workshop drives Table Talk. And if you don’t do workshop, Table Talk is hard.” (17:35) (Dr. Stephen)“You have to be so deliberate and so intention. And remember, remarkable does not imply perfect. My workshop was never perfect. So, don’t shoulder that burden. This is not about being perfect. This is about you showing up and sharing your heart and your head. It’s about showing up and being the person that moves a room.” (30:43) (Dr. Stephen) LINKS MENTIONED Dr. Stephen’s LinkedInDr. Peter’s LinkedInThe Remarkable CEO WebsiteDr. Stephen’s Book – The Remarkable Practice: The Definitive Guide to Build a Thriving Chiropractic BusinessChiro Match Makers WebsiteSchedule a Brainstorming call with Dr. PeteJoin us for the US Retention Immersion.
