Have you ever noticed that the basics never go out of style?
Think jeans.
Muscle cars.
Opening the door for someone.
Flowers for a date.
Love notes for a lover.
The basics ALWAYS work. And they do so because they're based on FUNDAMENTAL principles that last.
A principle STANDS, regardless of what you or I think of it.
And today, we'll briefly revisit the principle of Accountability - in the most basic form.
Last week, we spoke about Letting Go of What You Think You Know and how you will never be complete and satisfied until you are truly living at your greatest, highest potential.
I mentioned that in order to BE at your Greatest, Highest Potential, you have to BE certain things.
Many people live a life of "apparent success," only to find out that they're actually really unhappy.
Why is this?
Simple. They've lost accountability to themselves for the little things, and as a RESULT, they lose accountability to themselves for the BIG things, such as:
The list goes on (I'll leave it to your imagination...)
And so, I propose the following:
In order to be grateful, complete and satisfied, you must be living at your absolute full potential as a spiritual being.
And...
In order to do this, we have to start small.
Today, I want you to ask yourself the following questions:
To be at your FULL potential (aka your purpose) as a spiritual being, you have to BE certain things.
A liar (to yourself, let alone to others) is the FASTEST way to destroy your self-worth and accountability.
If that's who you BE, I'm starting to understand why you may not be at your best...
More next week.
Sending all my love & blessings,
Dr. Jason

Whenever you’re ready, there are 3 ways I can help you:
Doubt is the biggest dream killer, action stopper, relationship ruiner and overall suck for life.
If it weren't for doubt, many reading this would likely be in a better relationship, better position at work, and likely living an overall better life.
But that's not the worst part.
Instead, because of doubt, most will suffer in a relationship less than they deserve, be mistreated at home, work and in life, and often settle for a life of mediocre instead of a life of abundance.
Overcoming doubt can be what UNLOCKS your life, but it's often in what we're doing, rather than what we're not doing that lies the problem.
(Keep reading to learn what you may be doing that's causing you to DOUBT yourself.)
What most people know is that we all have a little doubt, somewhere inside.
But what a lot of people are now realizing is that we CAN overcome that doubt, and it's actually not that difficult.
The other day I made an Instagram post talking about Doubt, and 3 ways to overcome it (this is the part many are not doing)
Those 3 ways include:
You can read the post to get a further breakdown of those strategies.
What I want to give you today is a CLOSE Look at what you may be doing that's causing DOUBT in your life and leading you down the road that you'd likely rather not be on.
We all have vices - immoral or wicked behavior or characteristics that we justify because of our stress, our problems and challenges.
Whether it's smoking, drinking, eating poorly, or any number of bad habits, we convince ourselves that "it's ok," "no one will know," and "I'll be fine."
But that's a LIE.
The most important person in the world KNOWS, and that person is YOU!
I'm not saying to not enjoy yourself and celebrate life.
What I am saying is that the abuse and use of vices are what silently hold you back from the life you know you deserve.
When we partake in vices on a regular basis, we SILENTLY tell ourselves we're:
Now I don't know about you, but NONE of those sound like thoughts I want to embody.
Getting rid of doubt is all about being congruent between your actions and intentions.
I can't tell you how many patients I've encountered over the years that say they want to get better and heal, yet continue to eat an inflammatory diet, sleep late, take medicines, and not exercise or do entirely the wrong type of exercise for their body and goals.
This is plain and simple a LACK of DISCIPLINE.
When you lack discipline, you're no longer a disciple to a higher purpose.
And when you remove purpose from your life, you live for PLEASURE.
And well, that's the problem.
Once you understand that doubt is like a seed that you've planted into the soil of your life by your repetitive actions that go against your best interest and purpose, it's easy to see the solution start unfolding in front of you.
Get rid of your vices.
Choose purpose over pleasure.
Make sure that what you say you want and what you do ALIGNS.
Its' not easy when you aren't where you want to be in life, work relationships etc.
The core issue that keeps you from where you really want to be is doubt.
We create doubt in our mind when we silently trespass into areas that don't serve our mental, physical and spiritual well-being.
When we focus on our purpose over pleasure, and begin to align our actions with our intentions, we unleash the natural abundance of energy, focus and action needed to propel ourselves to our desired destination.
That's all for today. I hope you enjoyed.
See you next Saturday.

Whenever you’re ready, there are 3 ways I can help you:
While under the care of several of these Chiros, I noticed something strange - I would feel great getting adjusted, and then subsequently be in pain the next day.
Not the desired outcome.
While this can have much to do with inflammation, joint health and a variety of factors that have nothing to do with the Chiropractor or their adjustment, I had experienced tremendous relief from adjustments, so I knew that something was off.
Upon entering Chiro school, I began to learn about adjustments and techniques and was simultaneously exposed to extracurricular seminars learning from in-practice doctors about adjusting techniques also.
I found something fascinating...
Most of the adjustments taught in Chiro college were bio-mechanically incorrect, either for the Chiro or the patient!
I decided to approach the situation with my eyes wide open. If you always do things the same way, you'll always get the same results.
So I started to search for alternate (and better) ways of adjusting - according to how people needed the adjustment - because I knew it could help when the right adjustment was done in the right moment for that person.
Here's what I realized:
My neck was out of alignment - I could feel it - the pain, the discomfort and limited range of motion. The problem was the WAY in which I was being adjusted. I received the same adjustment, each time, never varying. I knew adjustments could help, but the ones I was getting were not helping me.
So I decided to abandon what I had been taught and learn the much more difficult techniques.
This was challenging, because my seeming level of proficiency dropped like crazy! I wasn't able to get many adjustments that I had done in the past, because I was attempting them in a different manner, which was new to me.
So, I persisted in learning, and everything changed - both for my spine and my patients.
What a blessing it is to PERSIST and learn something new.
And so when people ask me HOW I'm able to take care of many of the people and cases I do today, it's because of this. I persisted beyond what was presented to me and learned new ways of adjusting.
Want to learn one of the life changing adjustments (both for me and my patients)?

A mentor is someone who guides and leads by example, in business and in life. They provide precious and TIME saving insights into the game of LIFE!
Here's the first thing to look for when choosing a mentor:
1) Look for someone that "appears" to have their life setup like you imagine yours.
This is critical - because although once you get to know them and the intricacies of their lives - it may not be. (and likely isn't) all sunshine and rainbows, it still provides a baseline point of reference for the architecture of their and your lives. The "logistics" if you will of education or training, relationships and even business and residential decisions can help you to architect your dream life.
2) Choose someone ideally in the same line of business/career and/or study.
While I am a firm believer that we can learn from everyone around us - it definitely helps to have someone to learn from in the same area of interest that you have. While learning from someone in a different industry has many benefits, and lessons can be cross-applied, it is simpler and faster to have direct application. Seek out someone (when possible) in your area of interest for faster learning and assimilation.
3) Make sure their ENERGY matches where you're at or where you're working to get to.
I can't overstate this one enough!! Energy is everything. You can't separate out someone's bad energy, low energy, negative point of view or other energy attributes and just pretend like they don't matter. Find someone to mentor you that has a high energy vibration, puts out positivity and most importantly is someone you LOVE being around!
I hope this helps on your journey!

]]>How about being in a relationship with the right person but throwing it down the drain?
If you can answer yes to these, you may be a victim of having a low EQ.
Don’t feel bad though. EQ is a learned behavior that you may have learned at a young age from your parents, grandparents or siblings, or you may just be learning now.
The trick to boosting your EQ is to understand first what it is, and how it can be the key to unlocking what’s been holidng you back.
3 steps to Check Your EQ score:
Use the following key:
1-never
2-sometimes
3-always
Check your score.
If you scored 3 or less, you have an EXCELLENT EQ.
If you have 4-6 you may need some work on your EQ.
If you scored 7 or up, your EQ is really holding you back.
EQ is defined as your emotional intelligence, or your ability to act in capacity that serves both you and others at the same time. Mastering your EQ gives you the ability to not only get what you want most in life, but to help others get what they want in the process.
As a husband, father and entrepreneur, I hold a very high value on not just communicating effectively, but helping others to get what they want. Of course, if I can in the process get what I want, then it’s a win/win situation. And in the process, if we can achieve a unified goal, then it becomes a win3 situation.
Come learn more about EQ on the online coaching community and classes I designed and how to use it to drive success in all areas of your life-#360success.
]]>Let's face it-business is about solving problems. It's about creating options for people who either need to fix something, improve something, or avoid something. All of this is focused around your customers, clients or patients, and what they need. What's interesting about the social media debate with professionals is that they're overly focused on their personal opinion about it, rather than focusing on their clientele-and the FACT that they're using it, daily.
One of the most difficult concepts to move past for many professionals, especially those in highly specialized fields, such as Chiropractors, Medical Doctors, Optometrists and Dentists is that they don't understand social media. You've spent so much time becoming a master at your craft, learning patient care, then how to run a business, manage employees, etc, that the last thing you've learned to figure out is how to use SnapChat or Instagram.
As with all things in life, what you don't know can hurt you, or certainly hold you back.
That's why education is key, but ACTION is imperative!
Following is a brief description of snapchat and instagram and how to incorporate into your day as a busy professional:
Snapchat provides the ability to tell a virtual story, taking pictures and videos throughout a 24hr period, on an ongoing basis. By taking pictures and videos and posting them to your "story," viewers get to see what a "day in the life," is like for you. The simple benefit is showing people that you too are human, you have children, a family, you go to the gym, etc. You also get to broadcast your passion, your profession, IN MOTION, as you help and serve your patients/clients and work with your staff.
The benefit to this is massive. People watching-if grown properly from not only your community but from all over the world, FEEL like they know you. They feel like they've been to your office before. Let's say you're a Chiropractor or Dentist, and you show pics of happy patients and videos of people receiving procedures (quick or longer videos) that de-mystify what's happening. Do you think there are people in your community that have often wondered what it's like to have that procedure? Do you think that there are people that don't yet have a Chiro or Dentist and would love to go to one that they KNOW?
Exactly. You're developing relationships with your future patients BEFORE you ever meet them.
Now, Instagram is essentially the same with instastories, however instagram also provides the opportunity to post pics and vids to your profile which don't disappear after 24hrs. This allows you to create a personal brand, which years ago would have cost thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to do.
SocialHack-Quite possibly the biggest tip you could have for social is to NOT just post your highlight reel. Where I've had great success is by showing people parts of my real life-waking up with messy hair, going to yoga at 6am, having date night with my wife, basketball games with my son-it makes you HUMAN.
And people want to do business with people they like and trust.
Social media is about establishing trust before they ever meet you. Exactly like a referral patient.
I hope you begin using social media today, and remember, if you want to see what my day is like, come find me on social and I'll follow you back.

And if you're serious about using social for your practice growth, I've put together an amazing online training course that shows exactly how we've grown to thousands of followers and leveraged the power of social media to bring new patients into our office that need our services.

]]>For some vision is a simple term, with a simple meaning. It's what they see.
For others, their vision is something they work on, cogitate about, and are constantly refining.
For many, life is lived as a frustrating series of events that never quite lead up to the ultimate realization of what they want.
For others, life is an abundant joy, filled with an equal number of ups and downs that carries them definitively to the destination that was pre-conceived in the mind.
Knowing that, this article can now begin to become important to you.
So what happens when you lose your vision?
Let's look:
Some people never have a vision. We just mentioned those earlier. They usually go through life relatively unfulfilled, and they try to make the best of what they have.
Others may find that they have a grand vision, big dreams, and they lose their vision either suddenly or over time.
What's happening? Why do they lose the vision, and what are the consequences of losing their vision?
It's pretty simple actually.
You lose your vision when you lose your focus. Vision is what you see in your present and projected future life. When you lose focus, you take your eyes (and your mind) off of what's important.
When you lose touch with what's important, you lose the ability to be present, and when you're not present, you're either focused on the future (anxiety) or the past (guilt).
How can you lose touch with your future if your minds already there?
Easy.
If you're not focused in the present, you don't have a foundation from which to build the future-first in your mind, second in reality.
WHAT TO DO?
Focus on and write down what you really, truly want. I'm not talking about cars, houses and money. All of those are the results of people with vision who focus, produce, and then that production yields.
Want sexy cars and big houses? Is that your vision?
You're not really focused. Try again.
If you've ever lost your vision, and have reclaimed it, I'd love to hear from you.
Share this article for someone to re-gain their vision. You never know who's reading :-)

]]>Who you are and who you're developing into?
Are you destined for mediocrity or for greatness?
Many times, the voices of family, friends and colleagues sink into our conscious and deeply influence who we think we're supposed to be.
And there's the catch. You're not supposed to be anyone. Anyone except you.
The person that's uniquely you is the one that you love. The one that knows exactly what he wants to do. The one that doesn't think too much, but rather focuses on doing. On Being. Because he simply is.
Not changed. Not pressured. Not forced.
The person you are supposed to be is the person you are, before you starting messing with the divine plan of just being yourself.
Be you.
