I just got back from hosting the 2025 EntreMD Business School Vision Retreat, and let me tell you… This one hit different.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.760
Where I was once was a disaster.

00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:02.879
I can become a master.

00:00:02.959 --> 00:00:04.080
Let me put in the reps.

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:05.040
Let me read the books.

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:07.440
Let me have conversations with people who are crushing this.

00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:08.640
Let me stop and evaluate.

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:09.199
Why?

00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:11.839
Because I can become a master.

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:13.839
Hi Docs.

00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:25.679
Welcome to the Entre MD podcast, where it's all about helping amazing physicians just like you embrace entrepreneurship so you can have the freedom to live life and practice medicine on your terms.

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:26.960
I'm your host, Dr.

00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:27.679
Umna.

00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:39.119
I just got back from hosting the EntreMD Business School Vision Retreat 2025 at the time of this recording.

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:46.719
And it was very interesting because this retreat, more than any other one, impacted me in a way that I didn't expect.

00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:49.280
I learned so many lessons from it.

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:51.840
And these are lessons I'm going to use in my business.

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:59.840
So I wanted to share it with you because you may not have attended, or maybe you did, but these lessons are things that you can apply in your business right away.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.600
It will help you give you a better understanding of your journey as an entrepreneur.

00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:05.200
It'll be a game changer for you.

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:12.400
So I got five big lessons from attending, or rather from hosting the Entrepreneur Business School Vision Retreat in 2025.

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:14.159
And I'm going to share those with you.

00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.319
So first of all, the vision retreat is an event that we do in October.

00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:24.959
It's when we come together, we set our goals for the following year and not just our business goals, but our business and our life.

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.879
So it's fun for me because I don't have to keep everything I do to the business.

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.159
We can talk about life, we can talk about family, social capital, intellectual development, health, all of those things.

00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.000
So and set goals and all of that.

00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.120
Because the idea is we want to have a dream business and a dream life.

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:41.760
In the entrepreneurial business school, we're very big on that.

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.840
We focus primarily on business, but we know it spills over to the other areas of life.

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:47.599
So this is a very fun retreat for me.

00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:48.799
This was our fifth one.

00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:53.840
We had it in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, right by the ocean from my room, from the balcony.

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:58.640
I could just sit like for hours and listen to the waves and see how expansive it is.

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:03.760
And it's just so good because it puts me in this state where it's easy for me to set big goals for the following year.

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:05.040
So this was a lot of fun.

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:06.000
It was a lot of fun.

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:12.159
When I got back, I'm a big believer that you don't want to have experiences and not evaluate them, right?

00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:16.560
Because if you don't really pull the lessons from it, it's not as powerful as it could be.

00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:17.919
We went to Dubai.

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.719
We got back about four days before my vision retreat, actually.

00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.120
I went to Dubai, we're gone for about 11 days.

00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.159
It was so beautiful.

00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:28.879
It was such a beautiful vacation for me and my family, my husband, my four kids, we all went together.

00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:33.280
And I remember at the end of that trip, I sat, I was like, okay, so you enjoyed it.

00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.840
You got to see all the sights, the birch Khalifa.

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:37.120
You went to Dubai Mall.

00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.960
You went to the desert, you went to the Musk in Abu Dhabi and all of this.

00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:42.719
We did all of those things.

00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.080
And then I said, okay, so what did you learn from this?

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.159
And it was so powerful.

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.319
It was such a powerful experience.

00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:58.000
The story of Dubai ended up being my opening keynote, if you will, for the entrepreneur business school vision retreat, the lessons that I learned there.

00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:59.759
And so it's a habit that I have.

00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:02.960
So after this, the retreat ended by 4 p.m.

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:04.240
on Saturday.

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.280
And usually I'm not able to travel that same Saturday.

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:14.560
It's just hard, like really hard for me because of the incredible amount of focus that is required for us to pull off these retreats.

00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:24.319
And so after the retreat, I remember coming back to my room, resting in, sleeping the next morning, spent about three hours just staring at the beach and unpacking all the things I learned.

00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.479
So you're gonna get, you're gonna get, that's what you're gonna get today.

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:30.960
The first lesson I learned is a lot can change in a few years.

00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:40.560
And this is so important because a lot of times we put so much pressure on a 90-day block or a six-month block or one-year block.

00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:51.280
But over a period of time, if you're doing the work, if you look back, if you're in the game and you look back, it's fascinating to see what can happen.

00:03:51.439 --> 00:04:04.560
And so a number of cases stood out to me, so many of them, because this time at the end of the events when put all the data together, we had about 8% of the people who came for the retreat had been in the school for since 2020.

00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.639
About 20% had been since 2021 and 20% since 2022.

00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.039
So we we had a bunch of people who'd been around for years.

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:12.960
So I've watched them for years, right?

00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:21.600
And the number of people that I'm looking at them, I'm like, this person is running a multi-million dollar business.

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.000
And when they joined the entrepreneurial business school, they were an employed physician.

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.160
Like, wrap your mind around that.

00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:29.759
It's such a crazy thought.

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.040
And I would look at them and I'm like, this is wild.

00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:34.720
This is so wild.

00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.519
I'd look at doctors, some of them had been running private practices for between eight and 10 years.

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:45.920
And then they came into the school and they're like, my best quarter, and then my best quarter, and then my best year, and then my best year, and all of that stuff.

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.319
And now they're like total bosses.

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:49.439
Total bosses.

00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.480
I'm looking at people who are so introverted, and I love introverts.

00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:53.759
I'm an introvert, right?

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.759
So introverted, now they're dominating on stage.

00:04:58.079 --> 00:04:59.600
I have a client, she's so funny.

00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.240
She says, I have a face for radio, right?

00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.360
And now dominating some of the biggest stages.

00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.959
And so I'm just looking at the room, the entire room.

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.879
And I'm like, my goodness, this is so wild.

00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:18.319
And so for me, it was my reminder like what you're doing, keep on doing it.

00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:20.160
It's like fine line.

00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:24.800
The longer you do it, the bigger these results became, the more they can change.

00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:30.000
And in the moment when it's not, when it looks like it's not changing, this is very important.

00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:34.319
In the moment when it looks like it's not changing, don't believe that it is.

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.720
The work you're working always works.

00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:38.639
Now, if you're not working, that's different.

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.480
But the work you're working works.

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:50.639
And if it's not working for you, it's working on you, it's working like if it's not the thing, there's a thing that'll lead you to the thing, but you can never go wrong for pushing to go forward.

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.680
You can never go wrong by going after your dreams.

00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.040
You can never go wrong.

00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.720
And so it's like a lot can change.

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:03.600
And when I think about it, I mean, the Untrambi Business School has been around for five years.

00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:09.920
And the hundreds of doctors that we've served, and oh my goodness, it's a lot of stuff.

00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.199
And I just remember thinking, we should never quit.

00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:17.920
And I don't mean like I was thinking of quitting or anything, but this is my message to people like, don't quit.

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.839
It's unbelievable what can happen.

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:26.480
And if you have a quarter that looks wonky, or a 30-day period that looks wonky, or a week that looks wonky, like, don't let it throw you off.

00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:27.680
Don't let it throw you off.

00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:28.879
A lot can change.

00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:29.360
Okay.

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:30.720
So that was the first thing.

00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.759
The second thing, and this was so good because this is something that I know I talk about.

00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:37.839
Sometimes that's the challenge of being a visionary, right?

00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.160
There are things that happening now that I could see from the beginning.

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.160
And I knew people were like, what is she talking about?

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:43.759
When I started talking about it.

00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.839
But the second thing is this you can become a master where you were a disaster.

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.399
You can become a master where you are a disaster.

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.800
So this is the concept of mastery.

00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:58.879
Now, this happened because when we come for the visionary treat, we're setting goals in all nine areas of our lives.

00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:00.800
We're setting the plan to pull off the goal.

00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.120
We're setting like we're doing all of these things.

00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.079
And this time, this is our fifth vision retreat.

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:12.879
A number of people walked up to me and they said, well, the first thing I came for the vision retreat, I really struggled to set my goals.

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:20.000
I really struggled to define what I wanted in nine areas, doing these exercises where it was just so hard.

00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:23.920
And they're like, and now I get it.

00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:24.480
Okay.

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.360
For some people, it was their third one, for some people their fourth one.

00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:28.639
Now it's so much easier.

00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:34.000
I'm able to dream bigger, I'm more confident in my ability to pull it off and all of these things.

00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:36.639
And it was so fun for me to see.

00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.680
And to see them also tell the people, because we had a number of people who it was their first visionary treat.

00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:48.560
In fact, we had a doctor who joined the entrepreneur business school two weeks before the visionary treat and registered and came, right?

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:56.000
And so in that moment, they're telling the doctors who are newer in the entrepreneur business school, relax and give it your best shot, don't overthink it.

00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.399
But the more you do it, the better you get at it, right?

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:02.319
And so these are doctors who are like, I don't know how this goes, I don't know how to do this.

00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.120
And now they're handling like bosses.

00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:14.800
And they're telling me, okay, I have 2026, I have it mapped out, I have it planned out, I have these big goals, I know what I need to do, I need know who I need to become to do the thing, to pull it off.

00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.560
And I'm just watching them and it's so fun because this is what I know.

00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.240
Goal setting has changed my life.

00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.720
Being intentional about my life has changed my life.

00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:29.199
Being able to define where I'm going and how what I need to do to get there, who I need to become and whose help I need, all of those things.

00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:30.879
It's been such a game changer for me.

00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:37.120
So to watch these doctors sit and do this stuff, I know that 2026 is going to be a blast for them.

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:37.600
Okay.

00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:38.879
But it's that concept.

00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:43.120
They're like, it was so hard for me to make my CEO calendar, which is our time mastery tool.

00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.679
Like it was so hard for me to make it, and now I get it.

00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:47.440
And it was hard to do this, and now I get it.

00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:59.120
The thought I walked away with is it is worth it for me to spend the rest of my life gaining higher, higher level of mastery of the things that will help me become all I can be.

00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:00.240
This is the conclusion.

00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:05.759
If I decide, oh, I need this skill to go forward, and I'm not as good as this, I'm not as good as that.

00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.639
There's no point worrying about what I'm not good at.

00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:19.440
It's like, let me put in the reps, let me read the books, let me put in the reps, let me have conversations with people who are crushing this, let me put in the reps, let me stop and evaluate, let me put in the reps.

00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:19.919
Why?

00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.159
Because I can become a master where I was once was a disaster.

00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:25.200
I can become a master.

00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.240
It really put me in this position of I'm chasing mastery.

00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:32.879
Every skill I need to become all I need to be, I'm chasing mastery of those skills.

00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:33.200
Okay?

00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:34.480
Okay, so that was the second thing.

00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:44.399
The third thing, the third lesson I learned is that time away from your business can be extremely, extremely profitable.

00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.000
Extremely profitable.

00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:47.679
Where did I pull this lesson from?

00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:49.600
I'm gonna say construction site, right?

00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:54.159
This is what you've heard me say this many times on the podcast that your business is and always will be a construction site.

00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:59.759
So there'll be things to fix, things out of order, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, like fires to put out, new challenges to take on, and all of this thing.

00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:05.440
So it's almost like when I say it's a war zone, I don't mean your business looks like a war zone, but it's like you're a general, you're getting things done.

00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:10.480
And it's nice to kind of step away from the war zone and then go to this other place.

00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:20.159
Like, think about it, like the high-rise building downtown where you have a good feel of the city, and you're looking at the prototypes of your business, and you have a dry erase board and you're making plans and all of that stuff.

00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:25.120
So you have the construction side and you have the corner office in the high-rise building downtown.

00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:25.440
Okay.

00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:30.159
Going for the vision retreat is like going to the high-rise building downtown.

00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.240
And you can make plans and you can think.

00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:33.759
Oh my goodness, you can think.

00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:34.159
Okay.

00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:35.360
So I had one doctor.

00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.679
She was like, I've been a little bit of a funk and things like that with her business and all of that stuff.

00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.759
And her business is already at this point on track for multiple seven figures this year.

00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:48.879
And we started working the 2026 goals, started working on the math because we work through all these things, right?

00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:50.320
Working on the math, how do we get here?

00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:52.480
All of these things, what are the pathways that would take us there?

00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:54.240
And she walks up to me and she says, Dr.

00:10:54.399 --> 00:11:00.559
Una, I have found three simple things that are already, I've already laid the foundation for these things.

00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:04.320
And if I just tap into them, that's an extra million in revenue.

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.000
And that was one of my heart's desires.

00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:10.960
I was like, Help, I want people to have seven-finger leaps and they can see how they can pull it off and stuff like that.

00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.360
So when she said that, I was like, Yes.

00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:14.799
Right.

00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:27.759
And so walking away from her business, spending three days in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, whatever time, energy, effort she used the revenue, resources to come for this event, she found a million dollars.

00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:30.159
She found a million dollars, right?

00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:31.360
And so that was her.

00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.879
And then there was another doctor who she's a surgeon.

00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:36.879
She does a lot of procedures.

00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.440
And it just dawned on her like, wait a minute, I have these two procedures.

00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.720
I prioritized one, and I didn't prioritize the other, like I barely even talk about it.

00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:53.919
But surgery number one pays half of what procedure number two pays.

00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:57.840
And it I can do it in much less time.

00:11:57.919 --> 00:11:59.519
And she's like, oh my goodness.

00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.279
And I haven't been talking about it.

00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.759
And she's like, My surgeries only come to about 13% of my total revenue.

00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:10.320
She says, right in the real time, I sent a message to the surgery center.

00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.240
I was like, I want you guys to open up my spots.

00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.480
I'm gonna be doing more surgeries and all of these things.

00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:20.960
And I have no doubt she's gonna, over the next 12 months, add at least another seven figures to her practice, like just doing these things.

00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.360
Now, does that mean she's offering unnecessary surgery?

00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:24.399
No, no, it's not about that.

00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.120
She already has the patience, the people already have the issues.

00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:28.879
She just never thought of it.

00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.919
But she walked away from her practice and then she thought of it, right?

00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:36.879
There are people who, in that moment, when they're staying there, they got such clarity.

00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.440
So there's a doctor and she's a pediatrician.

00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.919
And she says, as we did one of the exercises, because it's a lot of co-working, right?

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.080
I'm not just teaching, teaching, it's a lot of co-working.

00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:47.679
So they're doing the work in real time.

00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:56.559
And she says, as we did this exercise, I just realized at 90, in this visualization exercise, at 90, I was still wearing scrubs, looking great, seeing my patients and all that stuff.

00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:57.919
And she was like, You just don't know me.

00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.360
I don't want to retire from being a pediatrician.

00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:01.200
I want to be a pediatrician, right?

00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.840
And it's just these aha's, right?

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:09.360
So it's just this very profitable thing that we do.

00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.759
For some people, they came and life can be challenging and business can be challenging.

00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:28.159
And in the process of going through what we went through during the retreat, you can see them reconnect with their why, reconnect with why their businesses must succeed, reconnect with the fire that they once had, reconnect with that.

00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:34.240
And I had one dog who's like, I don't know, maybe I'm gonna have to shut this down and then went to I'm full-blown.

00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:35.840
This is the goal for 2026.

00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:37.840
This is exactly how we're gonna pull it off.

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:46.159
I mean, so we're talking from no longer shutting, from wanting to shut down to being very profitable and very successful because of a three-day event.

00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.639
And so I what I walked away with is time away is powerful.

00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:52.799
And so we do two of these events every year.

00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:57.440
We have the next one coming up in March 13th and 14th of 2026.

00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:08.639
And just being in a position where you can be away and be in the right community, doing the right exercises, away from the distraction, the frustration, all of that.

00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:10.879
It could mean seven-figure leaps for you.

00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:16.320
It could mean rekindling your fire so your business doesn't have to feel like extremely hard work.

00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:21.519
It could feel like what you have the privilege of doing and things like that, and is just great.

00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:25.360
And so, opportunities to take some days away, take them.

00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:27.840
It could be extremely profitable in the right room.

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:28.320
Okay.

00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:28.799
Okay.

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:35.120
The fourth thing is surrounding yourself with the right people will change your life exponentially.

00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:36.879
It would change your life exponentially.

00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.120
So one of the doctors talked about she's in private practice.

00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.080
And when we had our first vision retreat, she was probably nine months into private practice.

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:47.440
She's in private practice.

00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:56.960
And then she says, Somewhere, I think when I'm in year five of my private practice, I'll be able to hire a nurse practitioner to help me.

00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.440
This was the extent of her thinking at the time.

00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:06.080
And somebody who was next to her, who was not in private practice, by the way, tapped her and said, You need to start looking at hiring a doctor now.

00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.279
And, you know, initially she was like, wait, what?

00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:10.080
Right?

00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:12.399
But then she thought about it.

00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:16.879
And it turned out there was a doctor who had actually emailed her to say, Hey, I'd like to come work with you.

00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.159
And she started running the numbers and all of those things.

00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:23.919
And she did go on to hire another doctor.

00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:25.679
But here's the kicker.

00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:30.159
That was five retreats ago.

00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:40.240
And this year, she has it's her, it's another doctor, is two other doctors and a nurse practitioner, and she's gonna be hiring another doctor in the next nine months or so.

00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:42.559
And she hasn't hit year five.

00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:45.919
Like her business has not, her practice has not hit year five.

00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.240
So, what created this expansive way of thinking?

00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:53.200
Somebody else who is just like, I think you should hire now.

00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:54.960
Like, why don't you look into that?

00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:56.559
Right?

00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:02.000
Having the right people will change your life exponentially.

00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:08.399
Like having the right being in the room with the right people, surrounding yourself with the right people, it'll be it'll be a game changer.

00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:09.519
There was another doc.

00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.000
She had some tough decisions to make in her business.

00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:14.080
There's somebody that she needs to de-hire.

00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:16.879
That's the word we use for firing, and all of those things.

00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:24.080
And so, in writing her goals, she did what we do, having our minds protect us, and she came up with all these other projects to do and all of that.

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:27.679
And her entire table came together and is like, you know what you need to do.

00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:29.759
Let's talk about, let's talk about that.

00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.840
And so she's in a position where she'll go do what is best for her business, right?

00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:40.399
Which is de-hiring these people so that she can bring in a better team and so she can move her business forward, right?

00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:44.000
Having the right people around you change your life exponentially.

00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:48.240
There's another doctor who launched a course, did that really well.

00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:54.879
And when she was telling her story, it was another person who kept hounding her, another person in the business school.

00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:56.000
Well, you need to do a course.

00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:57.039
When are you doing a course?

00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.440
And she's like, Well, somebody else did a course, go do their course.

00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:00.559
She's like, I don't want to do that course.

00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:02.240
I want to do your course, I want to do your course.

00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:05.440
And now she has a course and she's put hundreds of doctors through it.

00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:14.240
We're talking hundreds of doctors whose lives are transformed and are in a position to serve their patients better because of what one person did.

00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:22.000
And so for me, it was just this whole ripple effect where one person is supporting another person, is holding another person accountable.

00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:24.799
Somebody else is just a vision board, right?

00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:31.200
Because there was a doc who said she joined the school because she saw somebody post on social media how they were crushing it.

00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:33.680
They just launched their practice and their book and all of that stuff.

00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:35.440
And they're like, wait, here I am struggling.

00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:36.640
People still do that.

00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:41.680
And she joined the school and started doing her thing, and she's a whole boss, like crushing it.

00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:43.039
We're talking big time.

00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:47.359
I'm gonna bring her on and have her as a guest on the show, but it's so wild.

00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:47.920
Okay.

00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:57.119
So surrounding yourself with the right people will change your life exponentially, not just step by step, but exponentially.

00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:58.720
Exponentially.

00:17:59.119 --> 00:17:59.440
Okay.

00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:00.079
All right.

00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:15.039
And then the last thing, and this was a very personal lesson for me because I watched the room and I said, first of all, most people in medicine don't believe what is happening in this room is happening.

00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:20.880
And second of all, when they hear it, sometimes they think it's a scam.

00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:22.559
They think it's made up.

00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:31.279
So I had a session where I told the doctors, I said, we've been together, we've worked together, some of you for many years, and your lives are changing.

00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:35.839
You guys have acknowledged that what we the experience we're having here is like an alternate reality.

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:42.079
And I said, I would love to have you guys build the habit of sharing your stories.

00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:48.559
Because I was like, when I talk about these things, or when I talk about what is possible, a lot of times people don't believe.

00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:49.759
And they're like, Yeah, there's Dr.

00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:51.119
Una, you're a unicorn, whatever.

00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:54.799
And I'm like, there are people, they've listened to the podcast for years.

00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.519
But they're just like, yeah, I don't, I don't know.

00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:04.880
And so when I said that, I remembered that one of the doctors had just told me about somebody who told her she's just waiting.

00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.240
And I said, Hey, come up here, come tell the group what you told me.

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.920
Because we did a post on day one, like, hey, we're at the vision retreat and all this stuff.

00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.680
The hashtag is EBS, like on Travis Business School, EBS Vision Retreat.

00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:21.920
You can actually look at it on Facebook and Instagram, and you can see all this, like all the posts from the doctors during the retreat.

00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:32.400
And so she said, somebody posted in the comments and said, you know, I've been following her for years and all those things, but I really just wanted to talk to somebody who's in the school.

00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:35.200
Like, is this like I don't know if she said, is this legit?

00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:39.119
But like I just wanted to talk to somebody in the school and see if this is something I should do.

00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:48.559
And I said, So you see, I was like, share your stories because there are people who've been in my world, they hear this, they're using the stuff from the podcast to change their businesses and all, but so much more.

00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:53.359
And it's maybe it's not for everybody, but for everyone who's committed to a dream business and dream life.

00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:57.359
Like we have the gift of the on-training business school, it's legitimately a gift.

00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:58.799
And so I said, share your story.

00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:02.880
And then one of the doctors raised their hand and said, Hey, I have something to share about that.

00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:09.119
And so, and so this doctor said, One of we did a workshop and you guys had me come on to share my story.

00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:10.960
And I remember sharing my story.

00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:13.759
I'd been in private practice and all this stuff.

00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:20.079
And I came into the school, I had my biggest revenue quarter like ever in the history of my business.

00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:23.359
And he said, and then I looked down and I saw a comment.

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:28.319
And the comments said, Yeah, right, you must have been paid a ton to say that.

00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:33.359
And he said, No, I wasn't paid anything to say that this is actually what happened and all that stuff.

00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.119
And if you have any concerns about this, we like we can connect and talk about it and all of that.

00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:53.039
And I said, So see, so for me, it was seeing what was happening, but it was so it's an alternate reality to see a community of physicians, type A physicians, who choose collaboration over competition, who look out for their classmates and say, hey, you're a little quiet.

00:20:53.200 --> 00:21:04.559
Is that, you know, like they look out for each other, they open doors for each other, they create opportunities for each other, who are chasing down their dream business and their dream life, who are, I mean, like, and they're winning.

00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:05.920
They're winning.

00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:08.799
We had a doc on there, like, big shout out to her, Dr.

00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:09.920
Sadaf Lodi.

00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:10.880
She's amazing.

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.119
And her birthday was the day after the retreat.

00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:13.839
You know what I mean?

00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:15.119
And people will come for that.

00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:17.519
And we've had people come on their wedding anniversaries.

00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:18.559
We have all kinds of stuff.

00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:19.359
It's just so good.

00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:24.640
And so the lesson for me was that I am going to become a storyteller.

00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:28.559
And I am going to tell the stories of the things that are happening in the school.

00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:32.160
I'm going to interview more people so you can hear them tell their stories.

00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:39.359
I think we, you know, the physician community, we need to understand that what is happening, it doesn't have to be that way.

00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:41.119
It doesn't have to be that way.

00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:42.640
It could be different.

00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.359
We could be winning in a whole different way.

00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:46.480
We don't have to be stuck.

00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:47.519
We don't have to have burnout.

00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.119
We don't have to have a loss of autonomy.

00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:51.279
We don't have to have businesses that are not working.

00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:53.599
We don't have to hide our voices.

00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:57.839
We don't have to shy away from being in the biggest rooms on the biggest stages.

00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:00.640
We can be the leaders in healthcare, all of these things.

00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:02.400
And I'm watching it happen.

00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:06.079
And I'm like, I'm going to become a storyteller.

00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:08.559
So get ready for a lot of stories.

00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:10.799
Get ready for a lot of stories.

00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:12.160
So these are my five things.

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:14.319
And for your business, this will serve you.

00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:17.759
This will serve you so well as well, right?

00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.839
And if you're listening to this and you're like, man, that sounds amazing.

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:27.359
And if you're one of my people, you've listened to a podcast for a really long time and you're wondering about it.

00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:28.640
Okay, here's the deal.

Oh, she's so amazing.

00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:55.680
When she joined the school, she had a little kid, I don't remember, four months or something like that.

00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:58.319
And she's like, Doctor, and I just need to be pointed in the right direction.

00:22:58.480 --> 00:22:59.839
I was like, I like you.

00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:01.759
And she's crushing it.

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:03.680
And she's building her business.

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:05.200
She has a cash pay practice.

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:06.480
She has her family going.

00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:13.200
She's just made associate professor at a university by her because she leveraged some of the principles that we talk about in the business school.

00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:16.319
She's a paid speaker for pharma and all of this stuff.

00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:17.440
It's like so beautiful.

00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:19.039
It's beautiful the life she's created.

00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:21.440
But she's like, I have an incredible work ethic.

00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.559
I will do what is required.

00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:23.680
I just don't know what is required.

00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.440
And she's in the school that she's thriving, thriving, right?

00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:29.680

I need the gift of accountability.

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:36.799
I need the community.

00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:37.920
