Schofield Chiropractic Training Podcast

Welcome to another episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training Podcast with hosts & coaches Dr. FJ and Dr. Fred Schofield. As we dive into the new year, 2024, the focus is on evaluating our weaknesses. Having coached Chiropractors for more than 37 years, a prevalent challenge in achieving success is the pivotal significance of faith in one's technique. Simply put, if the doctor lacks belief in the method, the patients are unlikely to believe in it as well. Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ stress the importance of non-verbal communication in chiropractic care, citing physiological responses through the vagal nerve. Techniques such as nodding, hands-on communication, and eye contact play a significant role. The doctor's unwavering belief becomes crucial in this game, asserting that all techniques work, but it's the doctor who makes the difference. This episode advocates for an obsession with providing patients an unparalleled experience, something that AI cannot replicate. While acknowledging the place of technolo

Join us for a thought-provoking episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training podcast, where your hosts, Dr. FJ Schofield and Dr. Fred Schofield, roll up their sleeves and dive deep into the often-overlooked, but critically important, world of chiropractic business. As chiropractors, it's not just about the art of adjustment; it's about understanding the financial health of your practice. In this candid conversation, we challenge the status quo with fundamental questions: Do you truly know your overhead? Do you grasp the actual cost of providing an adjustment? Are you aware of the expenses associated with acquiring a New Patient? Or are your fees determined by what the town down the street is charging? Intriguingly, we explore the timing aspect of practice management. Do you bring in enough revenue to comfortably cover your overhead, and is it a stressful 28th-day scramble or a smoothly managed 10th-day accomplishment? Understanding these financial dynamics can make all the difference in your practice's s

In this enlightening episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training podcast, join hosts and SCT coaches Dr. FJ Schofield and Dr. Fred Schofield as they delve deep into the foundational philosophy that underpins chiropractic care and its pivotal role in the healing process. Chiropractic care is not merely about making adjustments; it's about understanding and embracing the profound philosophy that the body has an innate ability to heal itself. As Dr. FJ Schofield aptly puts it, "If you don't believe that the body heals from the inside out, you're never going to get good at adjusting." Listen in as our hosts emphasize the significance of not questioning the principle but rather focusing on refining your application. Chiropractic care is not a matter of simply praying to innate intelligence and expecting miraculous healing; it's about the art and science of precision in adjustment. Intriguingly, Dr. Fred Schofield shares an insightful excerpt from the Chiropractic Textbook by R.W Stephenson titled "the Missin

Welcome to Season 3 of the MoChihChu Podcast!   In this episode, Rhino coaches Dr. FJ and Dr. Fred, talk about the biggest threat to long term success: BURNOUT   Success is often measured by its sustainability over the long term. Burnout, by its nature, is not sustainable. It can lead to premature practice burnout, causing individuals to reach their peak potential earlier than they might have otherwise, and potentially resulting in a downward spiral in terms of career achievements and even home life.   Burnout can lead to disengagement and a lack of motivation. Over time, this can hinder an individual's practice and home life, limiting their opportunities for long-term success. Burnout can also lead to dissatisfaction, prompting individuals to retire early, sell their practice, or even make a career changes.   Check out today's episode to learn some tactics that both Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ implement to maintain and manage their energy in practice and at home!     Interested in coaching with

Hey Rhinos, Dr. FJ Schofield   I want to go over an abbreviated version of some of the content I covered during our Digital Training. During the time of this video we are currently working through Covid-19, but this will be on YouTube for years to come so if there’s ever any crisis or recession this is valuable information you can use. When I was in my 9th Trimester at Chiropractic school and my friend and I were putting together a business plan. You know, you’re excited, you’re ideological “we’re going to average 15 NP visits/week and we’re going to ….” So I show my dad, and he goes “you know this is great, and maybe you will grow this way. But you have to plan for the worst case scenario. You have to plan that some weeks you might only have 2 or 3 New Patients in the beginning, or none.” You have to plan that way, you can expect the best, that’s great, but plan for the worst. In any crisis, whenever times are difficult, any planning period, it’s always best to plan for the worst. Expect the best, but plan

I want to go over the number one productivity strategy I use and it has been a game-changer for me. I had a friend that I was working with that was going to an Elite Military Training and wanted to know what he could do. I told him this tip, this strategy and he later said that it was amazing. It made the difference for him and made everything else so much easier because he implemented this, each and every day. it’s his really, really powerful. It seems simple and almost common sense - But so few people use it. The ones who do it makes a massive difference for them. The tip for Productivity. You ready? Here it comes! Rituals and Routines. For a small business owner, chiropractor, entrepreneur, when you’ve got your family, you’ve got your children, your parents, you’re supposed to go to work in th business but you also want to work on the business plus take care of your own health. You want to eat right, you want to exercise, you want to have fun with some of your hobbies. Rituals and routines. Are the key and

Hi Rhinos, Dr. FJ Schofield here, in this episode I'll be going over the 2nd part of the ROF, the Financial Presentation. This is by the far the most messed up part in the Communication Process; right there with the consultation, it’s so important. If you do a bad consultation you’re screwed, but if you mess this part up, even if you have an awesome consultation and great ROF you shoot yourself in the foot with the Financial Presentation The Consultation your building rapport, building the trust, building your authority and positioning yourself as the expert so they know you can deliver, they trust you and now you’re going to clearly lay out the plan so they know: what you’re going to do, when you’re going to do, how they’re going to benefit and how much it’s going to cost them. Everything is clearly laid out and you want to remove all the pressure from the situation, as I mentioned in the last Rhino University video on the R.O.F., letting people know it’s okay to say No. It’s so important to alleviate the pr

Dr. FJ Schofield Here. A really, really important part of practice is the Report of Findings. It’s huge! 1st and 2nd visit are obviously a big deal, and once you get those new patients in the door you have to then communicate effectively so they understand what is going on and so that they actually commit to care. Most complaints that we hear from other patients that have gone to other chiropractors is that he or she didn’t explain anything. “I would just come in, they’d adjust me and they’d say come back and I just had no idea about what was going on” People want a plan, they want progression, and they want an explanation. Help them understand what’s going on in your mind. They want to know and it’s your responsibility to take them through the process. Start with this blue print The biggest mistake that’s typically made is that people talk the entire time, not asking the patient question and going for way too long. If you don’t have a structured plan, you’re going to get wordy, talk too much and water down y

SCT Coach Dr. FJ talks about the Rhino Exam that will prove your authority and unique value #DDNP Success is not a huge secret.   You have to master the fundamentals. You gotta be able to do them when the office is packed without thinking – it’s just a reflex that brings you massive results. It’s what you can do under pressure that matters.   We want to change the profession so that we have more Principled, Successful Chiropractors, only then can we make REAL CHANGE TOGETHER. Listen to these free Rhino University tips that WILL. MAKE. A. DIFFERENCE.   The biggest mistake made during the exam is that they’re SILENT.   The most common thing that untrained Chiropractors come to us with is that they talk the whole consult. They’re trying to educate people, which is good, but it’s all about “ME” – “Let me talking to you about the subluxation,” “let me tell you about the adjustment, “let me…”

The Rhino Consultation. This is the key to getting New Patients, getting your marketing dialed in and doing your first and 2nd visit properly. The Consultation at the very least gives the opportunity and time to set up a care plan so you can help them. This ROF and Consult is what allowed me to grow to 200 new patients in only 14 weeks and continue growing. It’s so important to know how to do this because this is where you start to grow relationships with your patients! So if you’ve done a lot of other programs, take a shower, get the slime off of you – this is going to be totally ethical, you won’t have to give up your integrity, your sincerity or your honor to have a successful practice. You do it the right way, by building relations, by caring, by getting interested in your people, by being totally transparent and by delivering amazing results - and then you don’t have to sacrifice who you are, you can still go home and look in the mirror and feel good about who you are and what you’re doing!     Coach wit
