Chiropractic Practice: How To Get What You Want

Hello, everybody, and welcome to Thrive in Five. I’m Dr. Dennis Perman, and I’ll be your chiropractic coach for today. This edition is called, How to Get What You Want. Why is it that some people seem to have a Midas touch? That everything they do seems to work? How come some chiropractors build the practices of their dreams, help lots of people, earn and accumulate lots of money, and seem to be happy and relatively stress free?

Is there a secret formula for success that can help you get what you want? While there are no magic wands, there is a specific process that you can put into motion that will guide you toward the results that you desire. I call this process, The results quinary. So let’s see how to apply it. The word quinary simply means having five parts.

So the results quinary is a process with five steps that’s designed to help you get the results you want. Step one, it begins with an idea. Everything you could possibly want begins as an idea. Until you think of something, you can’t want it. So the first part of the results quinary is your idea about what you want.

For example, you could think, I’d like to see more people and make more money, or. It would be great to take a European vacation this year. Or maybe, I wonder what broccoli flavored ice cream would taste like. We have many ideas every day, some more important than others. The ones that we perceive to be most important will be the ones that attract our attention and are worthy of taking the second step.

Step two, choose your goal. If an idea is important enough, take the second step in the results quinary and set a goal based on your idea. A goal is a specific idea with a time frame. So the idea you had before, I’d like to help more people and make more money, could be specified into, I will double my practice by a year from today.

Notice how the specificity gives much more power to the idea, and how the time frame creates a sense of urgency and excitement. These are essential components of a good goal. Once your goal is set, You’re ready for the third step. Step three, create a plan. Your plan is the specific method by which you expect to achieve your goal.

Not all ideas are important enough to become goals, and not all goals are worthy of creating plans at this particular time. For example, you may have goals about getting a new car, earning a certain amount of money, mastering a particular technique, or learning to play a musical instrument or speak another language.

For each goal, you’ll need a specific plan, and the relative importance to you will help to determine which plans get created first. A written plan is a blueprint for success, a strategy to reach your objective and understand how you got there, so you can apply the lessons in other contexts and succeed even faster.

These plans should be memorialized in great detail, so that your subconscious mind knows exactly which behaviors will support you in following through on them. Also, putting the plans in writing makes them easier to review and understand. Refine and reorganize whenever necessary, making it worth the extra effort.

Once your plan is written, you’re ready for the fourth step. Step four. Take action. Once again, not all plans will be acted upon. It is at this crossroads that you get to decide what’s really important to you. Put your plan in motion with your first action step, carrying it out to completion with enthusiasm, passion, and a sense of certainty about achieving what you set out to do.

Follow through on subsequent action steps with great energy and self discipline. And when you’ve taken action on all aspects of your plan, you will arrive at the fifth step of the Results Quiner. Step 5. Evaluate your results. Now, you may arrive at the result you intended, and if so, celebrate, and then start a new quinary with the next idea that seems important enough to you.

Or, maybe the result you got isn’t what you set out to achieve. If this happens, instead of squandering valuable resources on futile complaint or disappointment, dive right back into the quinary, and see where you may need to refine the process. This is the beauty of the results quinary model. You’ll save time and emotional energy because the process of getting results is right there before you.

Idea, goal, plan, action, result. And somewhere in that quinary is the way for you to get what you want. Now don’t get frustrated. Channel your desire into the quinary to find out what you need to do next. Is it the idea that needs refinement? Challenge the idea to make sure you really like it and want to follow through on it.

Maybe there isn’t much of a market for broccoli flavored ice cream. Be willing to look at your idea objectively. If the idea seems good, check the goal. Is it specific enough for my brain to know what I mean? Is the time frame realistic? Is it important enough for me to do whatever it takes? If the goal passes this scrutiny, then move ahead to check your plan.

Is my plan thorough and complete? If I did everything I wrote down properly, should I reasonably expect to get my result? Are all the steps I wrote down feasible? Well, there are factors I didn’t figure in. What else could I do? Who else might I need to help me? What other resources might help? Allow improvements and new approaches to occur to you so that you can integrate them.

When you get done with your plan, you should be able to read it and say to yourself, Well, If I do this exactly as it’s written here, then there is no doubt in my mind I will get my result. When your plan produces those feelings, then do one last scan before you take action again. Do I have full command over what I’m setting out to do, with enthusiasm and energy?

Am I prepared to take the process to completion? Can I honestly say I will give this plan everything I have? Be honest in your self evaluation. Remember the point of the results, qury is to quantify the process by which results are achieved. So when you review and refine the process, you get the results better and faster.

Once you’ve thoroughly evaluated your actions, you can take the new actions based on the refinements you’ve made in your idea, goal, and plan. Take action with the expectation at this time, you will indeed get your result and go all out. As you complete the sequence of action steps, you will again arrive at a result.

And once again, it will either be the result you want, in which case you can celebrate and choose a new result to work toward. Or, once again, the result may not quite be there yet, in which case you can save yourself from frustration by diving right back into the by understanding this process of success.

You can spare yourself unnecessary distraction or pain. Just stay focused on the quinary, because as long as you’re involved in the process, then you are legitimately and effectively moving forward, increasing the likelihood that this time you will indeed get what you want. Speaking of getting great results, if you want to attract more patients who are looking for an expert in function and not just pain, nothing works better than integrating the Functional Health Management Score, which you can access by scanning the QR code on your screen.

Try it and see for yourself. Thanks for watching. I’m Dr. Dennis Perman for The Masters Circle Global, where legends are made and legendary practices are built through chiropractic care.
