The video below was taken at TNR’s quarterly seminar on April 14th, 2012, before Dr. Craig made his voyage to the Reservation.  Their emotions, their love for the children, and their passion is something to be celebrated, recognized, and kindled.  A very special THANK YOU to the Onstotts for stepping up in a huge, huge way.

If you or someone you know is ready to take the leap from where you are now, to where you want to be, call us today at 800-525-3879 or go here.  There is no obligation to join our program, either.  It’s an introduction to make sure it’s a good fit.

By Dr. Kevin Pallis

Last week, Dr. Ed Plentz, co-owner of TNR, had a brush with death.  He was pinned and crushed by a vehicle he had been working on.

After Dr. Ed’s near fatal brush with death, things crystallized for me. I could hear the terror in Angie’s voice when it happened. Something was stirred deep inside me after his injury that is hard to put in words. There was even more URGENCY than previous to his injury.  Some people in our family are not getting the ‘essence’ of TNR.  Oh, sure they are making their calls, doing some studying and serving at a higher level than pre-TNR…but is it their best effort? Many DC’s are successful, however they are coasting and have lost their purpose and their passion. With your best effort comes transformation. Transformation is exponential growth, not incremental. It’s going from 75 people a day to 150 people a day in less than 3 months. It’s about having a large, purposeful, passionate and profitable office. Do you notice that you don’t ever hear the word transformational in Chiropractic anymore? Lots of philosophy, however, no practical way of communicating it. It’s because you can’t read about being transformational, or view it on your computer…it’s your belief in self and Chiropractic. It comes about through experiential events, intense study, and application of the principles.

Lucky for you, we have some great experiential events coming up. Go here to see what’s coming up next!  See you soon!!

And if you’re not yet a TNR member, the time is now to join.  Seriously, there are children in your community who need you, and you need the chops to get them into your office…before surgery, vaccines, or other deadly grips do.  We are about so much more than generating profits.  A profitable practice is just a nice after-effect of practicing with purpose.  We’re about the whole picture: purpose, passion, and prosperity.  You might be scared, or you might not think you need a coach, but give us a call anyway.  Ask questions.  You’re not weak if you ask for help!

Traditionally there were two camps of thought; the science based DC’s and the philosophy based DC’s.  This causes an identity incongruity of DC’s in the mind of the American public.  The same health conscious public now asks who will provide wellness for their families?  Since 1977 Renaissance has been uniting all DC’s with a common vision of Chiropractic… healthier people create a healthier world.  Backed by science and philosophy the Renaissance DC wears the colors of global vision.  When your life is “cause” oriented… dedicated to a “cause”… committed to a big vision, nothing stops you… nothing.  Not, where or how do I get new patients, not dumb questions, not the insurance issue, not politics, not administration, not who to hire, not anything.

The New Renaissance stands for an intent, a morality, and the ethics of a warrior/hero dedicated to a higher truth than self.  A hero is ready to do whatever it takes to complete the mission of bringing Chiropractic to the world.  This readiness comes as a result of homework and redefining the hero’s intent or belief system.  Before the hero can face his enemy or mission, he must first face himself.

This means that the hero must have a spiritual or moral gyroscope.  This internal mechanism keeps his/her soul operating on an even and constant high plane, no matter how adverse the conditions under which he/she must operate.  It is this internal gyroscope that makes it possible for the hero to endure.  You endure because you know you are a better person than your opponent: more pure, more consecrated, and more sanctified.  You have been blessed by a higher power who gave you a higher power.  You can suffer, tolerate, or undergo anything.  This may not sound like a lot of fun, but ask anyone who has put their everything into something, it’s galactic!

It is our unshakable belief that when the two intrinsic values called intent (belief in Chiropractic and self) and homework are refined in anyone, it propels the newfound hero to previously unattainable heights of achievement.  When these two conditions are combined with an absolute moral code, the hero becomes invincible.  It is this mental edge that keeps the hero prepared at all times.  Tough questions from patients, tough patients, nah, not for the hero.  Answers are spontaneous, always right, and contain the proper flow of energy.

The Renaissance hero wears the colors of global vision.    Our vision does not begin and end with health, or our offices.  Rather, it is so much more than that; it’s adhering to ethical and moral principles, a code of honor among a group of DC’s who have a bigger vision than self.  Patients are not inconsequential playthings to be used up and replaced.  Instead, they are members of the human race.  When you hone yourself to the sharpness of a razor’s edge and continually train your moral gyroscope, it becomes more and more powerful.  It sustains you at your mental and physical peak, even if you thought you would never be in this place we call Renaissance.

With this as your essential core, what kind of practice do you think you would have?  That’s right – a modern day hero’s practice.  Everything you do in practice is aligned with a bigger vision than self.  Your practice is filled with people that want what you have.  Financial problems?  Not for the hero DC.  Short-term patients who have a low respect for Chiropractic and your office?  Not for the hero DC.  How about the CA’s at a hero DC’s office?  Truly a dream team of teammates.

Most reading this will react in a predictable fashion with comments of, “This can’t be possible!” This type of practice or this way of life is totally foreign to many readers.  Many will loudly proclaim that their practice is stressful and filled with daily problems.  It doesn’t have to be that way.  Think about professional athletes who love the game that they play.  They are playing a game and being paid huge amounts of money to do something they love.

Have you ever seen a hero on a passionate mission?  There is something majestic about being “in the moment” in both your practice and your life.  You can’t buy it, sell it, and it can’t be given to you.  You have to make it happen yourself.  Heroes are developed from the inside, out.  Do you have what it takes to be a modern day hero in Chiropractic?

I just got back from breakfast at the ‘greasy spoon’ that I used to go when I skipped school as a kid (to play hockey, what else?) and here is what I witnessed: A man who was being verbally pushed around by his three teenage kids. They were treating him with gross disrespect and insubordination. They sat down to eat and all they did was argue. As if that wasn’t enough, the front door to the diner flies open and another teenage girl appears (his daughter) and she demands in dramatic fashion that he drive her to school (it’s only ¼ of a mile away and her back hurts). Everyone in the diner eagerly awaited what was going to happen at this ‘shootout at OK corral.’ You could hear a pin drop. He got up in the middle of his breakfast with the other kids and sheepishly drove her to school. If you could only see the looks and the mouths dropped in that diner!

DC’s are being bullied and because they are so used to it…they don’t even see it!

Maybe you’re being bullied by patients that negotiate your fees and recommendations. Perhaps it’s insurance companies or personal injury attorneys. Or maybe it’s CA’s that don’t believe in you or your vision. Perhaps your spouse and yourself have grown apart or lost respect for one another. Typical ‘roommantics’ (roommates) who play house, share in the child rearing responsibilities and bills, with or without benefits.

The easiest and fastest way to stop being bullied is standing up to the bully

You’ve got to take a stand in your life and practice. Being bullied leads to a lack of purpose and passion. It affects all areas of your life. By going through the motions, you don’t feel alive, you don’t feel connected…you feel alone and isolated.

Rediscover your purpose and passion

Since the 1970′s, Renaissance has been helping DC’s all across the world rediscover their calling and their zest for what they do. You might make a great income, but feel like it’s just a job. Or perhaps you want to take your practice to another level, but don’t know how to and feel embarrassed to ask for help. Stop allowing YOU to bully and sabotage yourself, and call us today.
