Prior to Epic, I started a practice and for the first year was failing. I had no direction, no idea how to communicate value to patients, no plan to attract patients and had zero income. I was so low personally, I would take “sick days, I would sleep to avoid the pain of a miserable practice, I would avoid speaking with family and friends because of how I felt about my life and I would actually hope that patients would come into the office because I didn’t want them to see how bad things really were.

Then I spoke with Krysti Wick. She her own journey with practice and life that I could relate to and she shared with me where she was only a few short years ago. Her story was very similar to mine. I remember telling her that I really hated practicing with idea of “needing” scripts” and this “do it my way” style of practice. I wanted to be authentic, I wanted to be me…and I felt that in that moment she and Epic could help me find out what that would look like, in practice but more importantly in my life as a father and husband.

In one short year, I went from seeing 35 visits per week, never being able to buy a Christmas gift for my son, never taking a real vacation to finally providing for my family, to taking family vacations, living congruently with my life and my family’s life, sharing my growth and experience at Epic Impact with hundreds of other chiropractors and having a record WEEK and DAY right before our Christmas break (slow time of the year, right?)

If you would have told me that 2016 would be have been that different, I wouldn’t have believed you. But it truly was. My mindset, my communication, my vision, my expectations for myself and my practice have all been grown because of what Epic has provided and because I made the CHOICE to BE Epic and do the work.

If this feels familiar, take my words to heart…it can happen to you too.

In one short year, my life has changed drastically, I am a better human, father, husband, son, friend and chiropractor because of Epic and the Epic community. I am truly grateful for how much Epic has guided my success in practice but more importantly in my LIFE!

I initially joined Epic Accelerators in October of 2015, and I was a member of the first ever Ignite Program. The past year has truly been a whirlwind year for my wife and I- I graduated from Chiropractic school, we got married, adopted our son, and we opened up a business together.

I was originally drawn to Epic because this is the ONLY group that challenges and invites you to create the practice of your dreams, on your own terms. No gimmicks, no scripts, no fluff. I get to be myself 100% of the time, without copying someone else.

Everything I have learned through Ignite, Accelerators, and Pediatrics has allowed my team to build a thriving, 100% cash, family-focused practice. Additionally, our retention is through the roof because my team and I have learned how to create massive value from the principles we have learned through Epic.

The practice we have created is literally exactly what we envisioned from the beginning. We work six, three hour shifts throughout the week, and we are currently needing to open up another three hour shift because we have very little time to see new patients. We have a three day weekend every week, which allows us the freedom to spend time with our son and do stuff that brings us joy. Additionally, since we are 100% cash we get paid promptly and don't have to go home every night worrying about a potential audit. The experience we have had with Epic transcends any and all expectations we initially had.

I can confidently say that without the guidance from all of the Epic mentors, that our practice would not be where it is today. Most importantly, my life and the joy I derive from it would not be where it is today without Epic. Epic is easily one of the best investments you can make for your current and future practice.

We are beyond blessed to have found Epic. We had NO idea a community like this ever existed. The whole premise and foundation of Epic sounded “too good to be true”: a group of highly successful, courageous, committed, and principled chiropractors ON FIRE and united for one purpose??! Is this for real?! We sat through the Ignite presentation with eyes the size of Godzilla saying, “yes”, “yes”, and “YES!!!” to everything that was discussed. It was EXACTLY what we needed in our lives. At the time we were “stuck” in practice and our lives. We had used a management company AND were paying for a business coach. We had profitable practice as far as finances were concerned, but nothing. left. over. No time. No energy. No fun. And FAR too much stress! It was affecting our family and our relationship. Ignite was seemed like the perfect solution. AND IT WAS!! Dr. Jackson and his crew came swooping in on angel’s wings and lived up to their reputation and then some! The entire Ignite program far exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t absorb enough information from each of the calls and webinars. It was the fastest most furious 90 days of our lives. We did the work, ALL OF THE WORK! The results spoke for themselves. Our “profitable” practice exploded! Our patient visits nearly doubled and we had a 182% NET profit in a year’s time. YES, 100 and 82%! Most importantly we have more time, more energy, and more JOY in our lives than ever before. Epic gave us hope and clarity on a vision (that at the time seemed impossible) of what life could be. We are happy to say, “this is just the beginning”. We have never had more fun in our practice and in our lives than ever before. THANK YOU EPIC!!!!!!

I am so thankful to have found my EPIC family! I started with the EPIC pediatrics about 6 months before I opened my practice. I watched these Modules like many would a netflix series; I just couldn't get enough of the science, communication, marketing, and strategies. Then, I started with the Ignite program 90 days before I opened my doors. This on-boarding process gave me the tools that I needed to open my practice. Not only did the program cover MORE systems, MORE communication, and MORE care plans, but also allowed me to have the mindset to THINK BIGGER! It made me re-evaluate what I even thought was possible in a pediatric and family focused practice, and gave me the certainty to do it.

With the knowledge that I learned from a combination of Epic Pediatrics and Ignite/Accelerators, I was able to grow very quickly! Within 2.5 months of opening my practice, I was seeing more than 100 patient visits per week! I can't thank EPIC enough for all the strategies and support that it has given me, and would recommend this to anyone who wants to have more clarity, certainty, and success!

The change in my mindset has been super powerful in my professional and personal life! Each week we are increasing the number of patients seen, and consequently increased profits. I love marketing! The Marketing Gear has helped me focus and gave me more ideas to implement for next year. I have loved Epic so far!

Since attending Impact in October, my Cash Collections has gone from 40% to 70%, 350 Patient Visits/wk to 475, I stopped adjusting on Day One (practice changing alone!), 40% Pediatrics, and Care Plans have increased by 20 visits. Thank you!!

One of the biggest impacts we've experienced is improving our marketing and hitting record new patients a month. We are finally feeling like we are going somewhere. Our belief triangle is changing. We are so glad we stepped up and committed to this program. Thank you Dr Jackson for being an EPIC leader and challenging our beliefs.

Thanks for helping me identify and call bull**** on an independent contractor and freeing up a perceived weight on my shoulder. Thanks for helping me improve my PV by 33% since joining Epic which also translates into profit. Thanks for the kick in the ass that I'm going to need next year to maintain this momentum!

I am so grateful for the Epic community. I was running down the wrong path, stuck in my comfort zone and needing a big change. I started the Ignite program a few weeks before I opened my own practice. This process gave me all the tools to DREAM bigger. I was able to start on the right foot with better communication, systems and care plans! Ignite has given me certainty and confidence to chase my dreams and set goals. I've also recently joined Epic Pediatrics and Epic Associate. I'm ecstatic to see what 2017 and the years to follow have in store for me personally and professionally!

It's been such a blessing to be a part of such an authentic community. Everyone is so kind, caring and willing to help. My practice has grown immensely, my team is on point and I'm a happier mom, wife and chiropractor! I've been challenged more and learned more in the past seven months than I have in the five years I've been practicing. I am truly grateful for how much Epic has influenced my success in practice and cannot thank you all enough!

I had my first taste of Epic when I joined Epic Pediatrics. I was so impressed with the compassion and expertise that Dr. Tony Ebel possessed, and I knew I wanted to develop a similar way of practicing.

It was not until about a year and half later that I was considering the option to open my own practice. I had prayed tirelessly for God to give me a sign and, even more, provide me with guidance. Soon after I started praying this prayer I was emailed an Epic Ignite informational opportunity. I watched the live video and signed up before it was even finished. As God would have it he placed in my life three giants. Each would help direct me and give me the confidence to put a stake in the ground and move forward with opening my own practice. I started Ignite in February and by April I was seeing patients in my new office!

I am currently the only doc in my office and with the goals I have laid out we will be hiring an associate by January 1, 2018. As I journey into becoming a wife, and a mother in the near future I am thankful to have the ability to create a practice in which I can put those aspects of my life first. Epic has equipped me with the tools needed to hire and train the best. I am grateful to have programs such as Epic Pediatrics, Epic CA, and Epic Associate as utensils to educate and train myself and staff. You will certainly not find this level of expertise anywhere else.

Epic has provided me an infinite amount of confidence, direction, and momentum to create the practice of my dreams. This community is divinely unique in that it animates development of self, family relationships, and life experiences. Hard work, commitment, willingness to evolve and self-responsibility are the developmental qualities that have sharpened me in this journey. There are no offers of scripts, lists of things to do, or blueprints on how to run your life or practice. However this community does offer a vast amount of matchless perspectives to help create the Epic life of your dreams.
