00:00:00.260 --> 00:00:08.914
What can I do to do my part, to the best of my ability and in an ever-increasing way, to help people get results.

00:00:08.914 --> 00:00:16.172
The first component is mentorship, and mentorship is really important because you know, people say there is no shortcut to success.

00:00:16.172 --> 00:00:18.100
Of course there's a shortcut to success.

00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:21.207
It's called people right your mentors, your coaches and things like that.

00:00:21.207 --> 00:00:36.408
Hi docs, welcome to the EntreMD 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.

00:00:36.408 --> 00:00:38.253
I'm your host, dr Una.

00:00:50.500 --> 00:00:55.219
You may have had the opportunity to work with a coach or a consultant and you thought for a second that, wow, maybe this could absolutely change my business, it could change my world.

00:00:55.219 --> 00:00:57.926
But this question came up will it work for me?

00:00:57.926 --> 00:00:58.908
Is it worth it?

00:00:58.908 --> 00:01:00.170
Should I do this?

00:01:00.170 --> 00:01:02.625
And maybe you stalled, maybe you didn't make the decision.

00:01:02.625 --> 00:01:05.867
Maybe a year later, you're wondering, wow, what would have happened if I did it?

00:01:05.867 --> 00:01:14.847
In this episode, I am going to show you my process that puts me in a position where I never lose money on coaching.

00:01:14.847 --> 00:01:20.328
I have never lost money on coaching, and coaching is something that I have been involved with.

00:01:20.328 --> 00:01:34.388
I've worked with a coach for the last seven years in some capacity, and so I'm going to walk you through how I make that decision and you're going to walk away from this knowing what programs to invest in, what coach to invest in and how to never lose money on coaching.

00:01:34.650 --> 00:01:39.430
Okay, now, this was all inspired because I had a friend of mine reach out.

00:01:39.430 --> 00:01:46.206
She had an opportunity to renew a contract with the coach she was working with and she's like this is how much it costs.

00:01:46.206 --> 00:01:50.400
And I'm wondering if I'm being afraid of investing in myself.

00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.408
Is that why I'm hesitating and all of those things?

00:01:53.408 --> 00:01:55.944
And I said, okay, well, let's have a conversation.

00:01:55.944 --> 00:01:57.554
And it was such a beautiful conversation.

00:01:57.554 --> 00:01:58.900
At the end of the day, I was like you know what?

00:01:58.900 --> 00:02:07.052
I'm just going to make this a podcast episode, because this is a process that I've really dialed in, I've really thought about and I want you to be able to have the same experience I've had.

00:02:07.412 --> 00:02:11.526
Okay, so she said I have the opportunity to renew with this program.

00:02:11.526 --> 00:02:13.831
Let's say you start a new program or whatever.

00:02:13.831 --> 00:02:21.110
I'm going to make up some numbers here and she's like okay, it's $500 a month, and so that's not like it's too much.

00:02:21.110 --> 00:02:25.475
But I don't know about, you know, like I don't know, am I overthinking?

00:02:25.475 --> 00:02:30.604
I don't know if you know what, if I have some cashflow problems later and all of that stuff, and so I, you know.

00:02:30.604 --> 00:02:44.252
So I'm going to, I'm going to walk through the five different thoughts that I came up with, and so at the starting point, I said well, when I think about working with a coach or a consultant, I never start from the standpoint of how much it will cost me.

00:02:44.454 --> 00:02:50.379
I'm more interested in the value that I am in the cost and that's why, for me, it's not a cost, it's an investment right.

00:02:50.379 --> 00:02:55.310
I'm more interested in the ROI than I am with the cost.

00:02:55.310 --> 00:03:01.387
I don't make decisions based on cost and, to be clear, that doesn't mean I don't factor that in at all.

00:03:01.387 --> 00:03:03.030
That doesn't mean I don't think about it at all.

00:03:03.030 --> 00:03:05.995
Of course I would have to, but that's not the starting point.

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.911
The starting point is what is the value I would get out of this?

00:03:09.911 --> 00:03:13.390
So what that means is for me, I've already made a decision.

00:03:13.390 --> 00:03:18.724
This is what I need for my business right and different phases.

00:03:18.724 --> 00:03:21.245
It would be different things Like if you have not launched a business.

00:03:21.245 --> 00:03:25.132
It would be like I need to launch a business If you have not launched a business, you'll be like I need to launch a business.

00:03:25.151 --> 00:03:30.356
If you've launched a business, it's like I need to take it to the first 100,000, the first 500,000, the first million, the first 10 million, whatever that number is.

00:03:30.356 --> 00:03:38.181
If you have a business that's thriving, chances are that you need a lot of support with team and systems and all of those kinds of things, right, like.

00:03:38.181 --> 00:03:40.830
So it's, what is it that I need, right?

00:03:40.830 --> 00:03:45.902
So that's where I start from.

00:03:45.902 --> 00:03:47.469
And then I look for a program or a coach that can take me to.

00:03:47.469 --> 00:03:49.620
So the starting point is not the coach, the starting point is not the consultant.

00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:53.770
So FOMO doesn't get the better of me, because that's not what I'm looking for.

00:03:53.930 --> 00:04:00.241
I know what I need, at least I have a general idea of what I need, and I am looking for someone who can deliver that right.

00:04:00.241 --> 00:04:04.531
And so, again, I don't start from cost, I start from value.

00:04:04.531 --> 00:04:05.941
It is the value that I'm looking for.

00:04:05.941 --> 00:04:08.647
Okay, now, when I look.

00:04:08.647 --> 00:04:09.931
So that was the first thing.

00:04:09.950 --> 00:04:13.127
The second thing is you know, I told her I talked to her about is.

00:04:13.127 --> 00:04:13.468
You know?

00:04:13.468 --> 00:04:16.500
And actually this is more of my thought process.

00:04:16.500 --> 00:04:23.685
I want to throw that out when I'm looking at somebody to work with, I want to have some kind of safety.

00:04:23.685 --> 00:04:43.262
I know there are no guarantees and I take responsibility for my own guarantees I'll talk about that in a second but I want to make sure that this person can take me where I want to go, and so the way I look at it is, the person that I'm going to work with is somebody who needs to have created the results that I want them to create for me.

00:04:43.262 --> 00:04:45.389
So they've created that in their own world.

00:04:45.389 --> 00:04:46.781
So that's one.

00:04:46.781 --> 00:04:53.182
Two is that they have helped other people create that result, so they have a track record of sorts.

00:04:54.163 --> 00:05:20.172
And then three, as much as possible, our values are aligned, right, and this becomes really important because you know, you can have somebody who's running a $10 million business and they put their business first, and you have another person who's doing a $10 million business and they put their family and their faith and their health and all of those things first, and they will run their businesses in completely different ways and their strategies will be completely different.

00:05:20.172 --> 00:05:26.315
It may land them in the same place, but then you're going to have complications, right, like if you didn't pay attention to your family.

00:05:26.315 --> 00:05:32.009
Well, who wants a $10 million business and not a family right Like, if the opportunity cost was your family or health?

00:05:32.009 --> 00:05:32.891
Who wants that right?

00:05:32.891 --> 00:05:47.084
And so we don't have to be exactly alike, but we want our values to be close enough that I'm not needing to fight every strategy, because the strategy will not take me to where I'm trying to go because of my values, right?

00:05:47.425 --> 00:06:07.238
So, for instance, in the OnTrendy Business School, we talk a lot about building your dream business and your dream life concurrently, because I'm so big on the fact that we have put so much of our lives on hold to get through medical school and residency, training and fellowship and attending hood and all of those things that I'm like I am not willing to To then put my life on hold more.

00:06:07.238 --> 00:06:14.160
I didn't know that as well when I started out as an entrepreneur, but I know that, oh my goodness, this is possible and this is the way that we need to do it.

00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:20.654
And so I'm like we're going to build businesses, and building a business is going to require stuff from you.

00:06:20.654 --> 00:06:36.026
It's going to require the time, it's going to require effort, it's going to require money, but at the same time, oh my goodness, you could be building your dream life right, like you can start with one version of it and as your business grows, you up the version, as the business grows up the version, so you're ending up with both right, and that's what we train people on.

00:06:36.026 --> 00:06:43.653
So I'm really looking for somebody who has that.

00:06:43.653 --> 00:06:45.495
So they have their track record of their own results.

00:06:45.495 --> 00:06:49.742
They have their track record of results they've helped other people create and they have values and our values are kind of aligned.

00:06:49.742 --> 00:06:50.083
Okay.

00:06:50.163 --> 00:07:01.572
So then I said now, once you determine that this is the value I want to get and this person can take me there, then you want to start thinking.

00:07:01.572 --> 00:07:04.175
I always think ROI.

00:07:04.175 --> 00:07:08.779
So in this example, if it's, you know, 500 bucks is what I'm paying per month.

00:07:08.779 --> 00:07:13.586
That means you know that comes to what $6,000 a year.

00:07:13.586 --> 00:07:16.680
And the question becomes can I 4X that?

00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:17.975
Like, 4x is my floor.

00:07:18.110 --> 00:07:23.218
I have many programs that I have 10X, 100x, all those kinds of numbers, but like, can I 4X this?

00:07:23.218 --> 00:07:38.403
So what that means is, in this case, can being in this program, if I follow what I'm learning, if I lean into the networks that I have and all of that, can I create $24,000 worth of revenue worth of an ROI?

00:07:38.403 --> 00:07:39.471
And if I can.

00:07:39.471 --> 00:07:48.077
Then I gladly like do you see how just thinking about the math brings you to a place where you're like oh, I could do that, I could do that, right.

00:07:48.077 --> 00:07:52.773
And you're going to say but, but, but, and I'm coming, I have other things I'm going to talk about.

00:07:52.773 --> 00:08:01.776
I just want you to lean into this, because for me, once the pathway to 4X is clear, then I'm ready to go right, like, how is this going to create that?

00:08:02.276 --> 00:08:10.432
Now, depending on the stage of your business, this could happen quickly.

00:08:10.432 --> 00:08:18.480
This could happen a little slower, like if you are starting a business and you don't know the first thing about business and all of that stuff, well, you may or may not get an ROI in the first six months or anything like that, but you will get an ROI.

00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:23.689
Like, that's the way I show up, I will get an ROI, okay, and I will talk about the responsibility part in a minute.

00:08:23.689 --> 00:08:26.814
And so for this person I was talking to, I was like okay, great.

00:08:26.814 --> 00:08:30.800
So you know like this is the outcome I want.

00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.504
You know like, I would love to work with this group.

00:08:33.504 --> 00:08:35.998
Clearly, you already worked with them for a year.

00:08:36.471 --> 00:08:40.029
So then the question then becomes what is the pathway to an ROI.

00:08:40.029 --> 00:08:44.558
Like, if it is 6,500 a month, can this create $2,000 a month?

00:08:44.558 --> 00:08:45.761
And she's like, absolutely.

00:08:45.761 --> 00:08:51.833
I'm like, okay, how it's like, well, there's the accountability.

00:08:51.833 --> 00:08:54.178
I'm like, okay, great, but accountability does not directly lead to dollars.

00:08:54.178 --> 00:08:56.191
So accountability in what way?

00:08:56.191 --> 00:09:00.772
Well, accountability where they help me look at my business as a whole, the numbers and all of those things.

00:09:00.772 --> 00:09:03.177
So because of that, I can eliminate waste.

00:09:03.238 --> 00:09:04.761
Because of that, it's very clear.

00:09:04.761 --> 00:09:09.436
It's easier for me to see if the decisions I'm trying to make are strategic or not, and all of those things.

00:09:09.436 --> 00:09:16.365
It shows me where I have opportunities, it shows me where I have threats, and I'm just not somebody who would look at my numbers otherwise or whatever.

00:09:16.365 --> 00:09:28.368
And I'm like, okay, beautiful, now do you think if you did that it could bring you to this place where you're cash flowing from your investment, if you will $2,000 a month, and she says absolutely.

00:09:28.368 --> 00:09:30.410
I said, great.

00:09:30.431 --> 00:09:38.375
Now remember that, of course, you have opportunities in the community to network and it's filled with your people and one idea from them can create the whole 24,000 on its own right.

00:09:38.375 --> 00:09:40.700
So it's not as though that is the only way.

00:09:40.700 --> 00:09:48.561
But you want to map away and you're like, okay, okay, I see how I can 4X my and 4X is not a cap, 4x is like the base.

00:09:48.561 --> 00:09:51.850
And you're like oh yeah, I can see how I can do that.

00:09:51.850 --> 00:10:07.413
Okay, now, if there is a concern, like you know what if I can't make the payments, or whatever, the question then becomes so this is the next thing, like if I had to create, in this case, $500 a month let's say I had some cashflow problems, things happen whatever.

00:10:07.413 --> 00:10:10.096
And you say, let's say I had some cashflow problems, things happen whatever.

00:10:10.096 --> 00:10:10.676
And you say how can?

00:10:10.735 --> 00:10:13.298
The question I would ask is how can I create this?

00:10:13.298 --> 00:10:16.921
Like, let's say, the usual way I would pay for this is not showing up.

00:10:16.921 --> 00:10:18.501
How could I create this?

00:10:18.501 --> 00:10:26.788
And you know, like there are many things you can do, right, like so, for someone who has an established business, that means you already have a client base.

00:10:26.788 --> 00:10:28.758
That means you already have an audience.

00:10:28.758 --> 00:10:29.692
You have all of these things.

00:10:30.173 --> 00:10:35.937
And so if you are, for instance, if you're, a private practice, well, you know what to do to get more people to come in.

00:10:35.937 --> 00:10:38.025
If you're a coach, you can make more offers.

00:10:38.025 --> 00:10:39.211
You can create it.

00:10:39.211 --> 00:10:40.433
Right, you can create it.

00:10:40.433 --> 00:10:43.182
If you're starting off, you're really early in your business.

00:10:43.182 --> 00:10:47.535
Using debt may be something that you want to do, or using savings could be something like.

00:10:47.535 --> 00:10:48.537
You get to choose.

00:10:48.537 --> 00:10:56.315
But the clearer you are on what your plan B would be, the easier it is for you to say yes on something that could give you an unbelievable ROI.

00:10:56.315 --> 00:10:57.759
Okay, All right.

00:10:57.839 --> 00:10:59.330
So that was the fourth thing that I told her.

00:10:59.330 --> 00:11:13.455
Then the fifth thing I told her I said okay, so now that you know I can make this into an investment, not a cost, because I can link it to value, I know these are the people that I want to work with.

00:11:13.455 --> 00:11:24.624
I see a pathway to 4X profitability right, or like ROI on my investment, and I know like, if things happen, this is how I can afford to pay for this.

00:11:24.624 --> 00:11:26.173
I said okay.

00:11:26.173 --> 00:11:37.980
So the next thing and you have to be very clear on this nobody's going to create the ROI for you, and please understand this like I run a program, so of course, I do everything within my power to help my people create results.

00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:41.270
But this is the thing, right, and this is the example I gave her.

00:11:42.033 --> 00:11:49.104
I'm a pediatrician, so you're a physician, so I hope you're not grossed out by this, but I'm like in a nursing relationship.

00:11:49.104 --> 00:11:55.774
Okay, the mother is going to learn how to breastfeed the child and the child is going to learn how to nurse.

00:11:55.774 --> 00:12:02.643
Okay, both parties have to be playing for you to have a successful breastfeeding experience, okay.

00:12:02.643 --> 00:12:07.451
So if the child is just like, if my mom really loves me, she'll feed me, that child is going to be hungry.

00:12:07.451 --> 00:12:12.097
Or they're going to need to put the child on formula, or they need to put the child on TPN.

00:12:12.097 --> 00:12:19.597
Okay, they may need to do that, but so it doesn't matter how much milk the mom has if the baby will not nurse.

00:12:20.078 --> 00:12:21.062
Programs are that way.

00:12:21.062 --> 00:12:24.135
Working like going to school is that way.

00:12:24.135 --> 00:12:25.779
A marriage is that way.

00:12:25.779 --> 00:12:27.283
Programs are that way.

00:12:27.283 --> 00:12:31.652
Working with a coach is that way.

00:12:31.652 --> 00:12:32.192
It is a two-way thing.

00:12:32.212 --> 00:12:58.013
Both parties have to work for there to be an ROI, and so for me, I'm like I want to be responsible for my ROI, I want to be in control of my ROI, I want to determine if I will get an ROI or not, and so I told her, I said okay, so if you decide that the accountability is what I need from this program, then I'm like you're going to have to get it, you're going to have to go after it, if you know that, wow, I need people.

00:12:58.013 --> 00:13:04.583
You know, like, what I need accountability with will be my numbers and all of those things you know in that particular program they had.

00:13:04.583 --> 00:13:16.693
You know, like smaller groups and stuff like that, and like you ask for the small group where people focus on this, you look out for the people who are nerdy, the people who get so excited if they were to see an Excel spreadsheet.

00:13:16.693 --> 00:13:17.735
I am not that person.

00:13:17.735 --> 00:13:18.538
I'm so amazed.

00:13:18.538 --> 00:13:22.014
If you are that person, just know that I'm blown away by you.

00:13:22.014 --> 00:13:22.937
Okay, all right.

00:13:22.937 --> 00:13:26.152
So I said, you find those people and you become friends with those people.

00:13:26.152 --> 00:13:28.695
You raise your hands, you ask questions.

00:13:28.695 --> 00:13:35.744
If the conversation is going a certain way and you're not getting what you need, you raise your hand and you ask for it.

00:13:35.744 --> 00:13:42.792
But you're not going to sit in the corner and say, oh man, this is what I need and they're not giving me what I need.

00:13:42.792 --> 00:13:45.254
Like you're not going to do that, you're going to take radical responsibility for the ROI.

00:13:45.254 --> 00:13:46.897
You know that you're in the right container.

00:13:46.897 --> 00:13:51.823
You know that container can deliver the results and you're like I want that and I'm going to get it.

00:13:52.404 --> 00:13:52.905
And I told her.

00:13:52.905 --> 00:13:57.221
I said I have never, ever, ever, lost money on a coaching program.

00:13:57.221 --> 00:13:59.990
It has never happened, it is never going to happen.

00:13:59.990 --> 00:14:04.770
And it's never going to happen because I show up and I'm like I know exactly why I'm here.

00:14:04.770 --> 00:14:07.196
I know the outcome I'm trying to create.

00:14:07.196 --> 00:14:15.423
I know this community can deliver, I know the mentor leading the program can deliver and I am going to be like a tree with really nice roots.

00:14:15.423 --> 00:14:17.294
I'm going to put my roots all the way in.

00:14:17.294 --> 00:14:19.741
I'm going to get all the mineral I need from the soil.

00:14:19.741 --> 00:14:23.034
Okay, all the moisture, all the minerals, all everything, all the nutrition.

00:14:23.034 --> 00:14:24.256
I'm going to get it Right.

00:14:24.256 --> 00:14:26.660
So I'm like a big tree with big top roots and I don't play.

00:14:27.322 --> 00:14:30.874
Okay, I said if you want to get an ROI, that's what you're going to do.

00:14:30.874 --> 00:14:32.181
Nobody's going to spoon feed it to you.

00:14:32.181 --> 00:14:34.193
Nobody's going to read your mind and know what you want.

00:14:34.193 --> 00:14:36.380
Nobody's going to read your mind and know where you're struggling.

00:14:36.380 --> 00:14:38.331
Nobody, like nobody's going to do that.

00:14:38.331 --> 00:14:42.436
That is your responsibility, and so I have.

00:14:42.436 --> 00:14:43.476
I have never lost money.

00:14:43.476 --> 00:14:44.216
This has.

00:14:44.216 --> 00:14:45.318
This has never happened.

00:14:45.938 --> 00:14:49.361
And so at the end of our conversation I'm like so what do you want to do?

00:14:49.361 --> 00:14:51.985
She was like yeah, I'm going to renew.

00:14:51.985 --> 00:14:55.849
I know exactly what I need.

00:14:55.849 --> 00:14:57.691
I know they can deliver what I need.

00:14:57.691 --> 00:15:02.461
I'm going to show up and get what I need and I'm going to create the ROI.

00:15:02.461 --> 00:15:07.517
So it becomes a very strategic decision.

00:15:07.517 --> 00:15:10.744
I make very strategic decisions when I want to invest.

00:15:11.570 --> 00:15:30.575
And again, I and I and I told her cause I invest pretty heavily myself and I told her, I said, listen, like with what I'm trying to do with the current mentor that I'm working with, by the time I'm done doing it, I mean like I, I, I will owe her a lot of money, quote, unquote, because the difference between what I've paid and what I'm going to get out of it.

00:15:30.575 --> 00:15:35.028
I mean, like I will owe her a lot of money, quote, unquote, because the difference between what I've paid and what I'm going to get out of it, it's going to be night and day.

00:15:35.028 --> 00:15:37.355
But again, see, that is my decision.

00:15:37.355 --> 00:15:39.279
She can't make that decision for me.

00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.755
That is my decision to make, right?

00:15:41.755 --> 00:15:42.240
Okay?

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:46.034
So this is how I make that decision.

00:15:46.034 --> 00:15:48.419
This is why I have never lost money.

00:15:48.821 --> 00:15:51.272
Okay, so I decide this is an outcome I need.

00:15:51.272 --> 00:15:54.238
This is somebody who can take me there.

00:15:54.238 --> 00:16:00.736
This is the investment, this is the pathway to, at least for X in the investment.

00:16:00.736 --> 00:16:04.823
And this is the way I need to show up to get that ROI.

00:16:04.823 --> 00:16:09.721
I do not roll over, I do not play dead, I do not whine and complain.

00:16:09.721 --> 00:16:10.903
I don't do that.

00:16:10.903 --> 00:16:12.393
Life is too short.

00:16:12.393 --> 00:16:13.296
I have one life.

00:16:13.296 --> 00:16:15.341
This is not the rehearsal, this is the real thing.

00:16:15.341 --> 00:16:24.034
And I mean, I'm 45 years old, right, we need to do this stuff if we're going to be celebrating the way I want to celebrate at 90.

00:16:24.034 --> 00:16:30.474
Okay, so I don't have time to mess around Now on the flip side, because this is the way I reason it out.

00:16:30.474 --> 00:16:35.451
This also is the reason why I have built the programs, that I've built the way I've built them.

00:16:35.631 --> 00:16:38.340
So let's talk about the Entremdi Business School for a little bit.

00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:42.096
Right, what is the value that somebody will get out of it?

00:16:42.096 --> 00:16:46.056
Well, the value is that you will have a profitable business.

00:16:46.056 --> 00:16:51.674
The value is that you would have made the transition from physician to physician entrepreneur.

00:16:51.674 --> 00:17:01.432
The value is that you will now become a master of your time, so you're able to get so much done in less time and you have time for the things that really matter to you.

00:17:01.432 --> 00:17:07.815
The value is you become an expert at sales, at marketing, and these are no longer sleazy things to you.

00:17:07.815 --> 00:17:09.813
You know how to do them in a professional way.

00:17:09.813 --> 00:17:12.240
The value is that you're able to build a team.

00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:23.923
You're able to build a team that gives you your time back and multiplies your impact, because they come with all of these skills and expertise and experience that you do not have, right, but they give you your life back.

00:17:23.923 --> 00:17:30.303
The value is, as you go on, you're able to build a company that is a business asset.

00:17:30.323 --> 00:17:42.655
So it's not only that you're delivering a service, but you've built a business that is an asset on its own that if you wanted to walk away from it, you could, and boy would you have a pleasant pay day when you do that, okay.

00:17:42.655 --> 00:17:44.740
Or if you choose to do that, right, okay.

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:46.462
So that is the value.

00:17:46.462 --> 00:17:58.421
It's the results, right, and the consequences, well, your marriage is better because you have time to focus on it and you're not burnt out, and all of that, the values that your relationship with your kids is better.

00:17:58.421 --> 00:18:10.727
The value is that you have such a wonderful impression of the significance of what you do, the impact you have in the lives of people, whether they're your clients, whether they are team members, whether it's people in your industry.

00:18:10.727 --> 00:18:15.199
The value is that you'll be able to transform industries if you choose to do that.

00:18:15.199 --> 00:18:27.536
The value is you get your life back and you get to be completely exempt from the amazing by that I'm being very sarcastic by the craziness in the healthcare space.

00:18:27.536 --> 00:18:29.382
Okay, you get to be exempt from that.

00:18:30.450 --> 00:18:42.961
So when I think about that, I'm like okay, what can I do to do my part, to the best of my ability and in an ever-increasing way, to help people get results?

00:18:42.961 --> 00:18:47.161
So the first component you'll hear me talk about these components over and over again.

00:18:47.161 --> 00:18:49.613
The first component you'll hear me talk about these components over and over again.

00:18:49.613 --> 00:18:54.700
The first component is mentorship, and mentorship is really important because people say there is no shortcut to success.

00:18:54.700 --> 00:18:56.642
Of course there's a shortcut to success.

00:18:56.642 --> 00:19:07.931
It's called people right your mentors, your coaches and things like that, the school.

00:19:07.951 --> 00:19:11.066
I say that on the podcast too, that I have taken one for the team, and so you don't have to go through this, because I found the shorter way.

00:19:11.066 --> 00:19:11.789
I found the 10 ways not to do it.

00:19:11.789 --> 00:19:19.472
I found the way that does work, and so my job is to shorten the pathway to the results that you're trying to get.

00:19:19.472 --> 00:19:22.824
This is why I invest so heavily in coaching.

00:19:22.824 --> 00:19:25.731
Right, I spend over six figures coaching every single year.

00:19:25.731 --> 00:19:27.213
Am I recommending you do that?

00:19:27.213 --> 00:19:27.976
Not necessarily.

00:19:27.976 --> 00:19:35.795
I will tell you, I do that, and the reason I do that is I am responsible for thousands of physicians.

00:19:35.835 --> 00:19:38.240
People listen and say, oh my goodness, I was inspired by this.

00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:57.051
Oh my goodness, I now realize that building a seven-figure business, a multiple seven-figure business, is possible for me Writing bestselling books, launching a podcast that changes the industry, leading a team, taking time off, getting my life back because I have a team that can run my business without me, all of those things.

00:19:57.051 --> 00:20:02.650
And so, while that's amazing, that is inspiring, it also means that I can be a lid.

00:20:02.650 --> 00:20:09.492
It also means I can be a lid, and so my job is to continue getting better so I can be a better and better mentor.

00:20:09.492 --> 00:20:14.010
That is why I invest so heavily in myself, so that I can help people get results faster.

00:20:14.010 --> 00:20:16.898
I can help them get results that they didn't think were possible.

00:20:16.898 --> 00:20:18.993
I can help them live life on their terms.

00:20:18.993 --> 00:20:20.240
I can help them do all of those things.

00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:32.818
So mentorship becomes something that we put in place to make sure that the strategies you need, the frameworks you need, the blueprints you need to create those results, that they are available to you.

00:20:32.818 --> 00:20:34.515
That's why we do that.

00:20:34.515 --> 00:20:37.559
So mentorship is a huge, huge part, why it's a shortcut.

00:20:38.391 --> 00:20:43.258
The second part is the accountability, because, me included, we all have things.

00:20:43.258 --> 00:20:54.457
We know if I do this, it will absolutely change my business, but we just don't do it, whether that's because we have mind drama, whether we just don't feel motivated, whether we feel scared, whether we think we have imposter syndrome, whatever that is.

00:20:54.457 --> 00:20:56.742
And so I know the power of accountability.

00:20:56.742 --> 00:20:59.979
People say, oh, you're always motivated, you're always showing up, and all of that.

00:20:59.979 --> 00:21:13.955
No, no, no, I have a lot of accountability, I have a lot of accountability, and so part of what we do is we give the people we work with the gift of accountability, and that looks so many different ways, whether it's the challenges that we do, whether it's the smaller groups that we have.

00:21:13.955 --> 00:21:17.119
Some of them, it's as simple as a post on Facebook.

00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:21.201
Sometimes I'll call some people out, like I see you're not doing the work right.

00:21:21.201 --> 00:21:23.117
Like, do stuff like that.

00:21:23.117 --> 00:21:32.275
We have, you know, the in-person events to bring you to a place where you can sit in a place and workshop stuff and get a lot of work done right.

00:21:32.275 --> 00:21:37.953
We do it with so many different things we put in place just to keep you in momentum.

00:21:37.953 --> 00:21:52.493
The Entrepreneur Business School is structured such that even if you only did 30% you hear many of our students say that even if you only did 30%, but you were doing the best that you could, you will just move forward by default, because we put those things together to help people move forward.

00:21:52.493 --> 00:21:53.457
Okay, all right.

00:21:53.718 --> 00:21:55.915
So that's the second thing, and the third thing is community.

00:21:55.915 --> 00:21:58.950
Community is so, so, so powerful.

00:21:58.950 --> 00:22:14.397
Listen, when I started off as an entrepreneur so this is 14 years ago at this point there was nothing entrepreneurial about me and I remember I would literally Google like physician entrepreneur, because I'm like where are these people, where are the people like me?

00:22:14.397 --> 00:22:20.659
Because there's nobody around me that was like me and it was really hard.

00:22:20.659 --> 00:22:25.710
But I know the level of transformation that can happen if you are in the right community.

00:22:25.710 --> 00:22:28.700
Because people say, oh, you won't grow by osmosis.

00:22:28.700 --> 00:22:29.613
You actually can.

00:22:29.613 --> 00:22:31.057
You can grow by osmosis.

00:22:31.057 --> 00:22:34.369
You can grow If you're in the right environment.

00:22:34.631 --> 00:22:37.758
All of a sudden, your limitations become obvious.

00:22:37.758 --> 00:22:41.473
Like this is just a limitation, like this is something I can overcome.

00:22:41.473 --> 00:22:47.355
Your mind drama becomes obvious because you're like, oh, that person had the same drama, but yet look what they did, right.

00:22:47.355 --> 00:22:51.380
Like, the challenges become normalized.

00:22:51.380 --> 00:22:55.546
The hardship of entrepreneurship becomes normalized.

00:22:55.546 --> 00:23:08.333
The fact that you can move ahead even if their challenges becomes obvious, the fact that you can learn skills like the fact that you don't know, you're not good at marketing or selling or building a team or whatever it doesn't mean anything.

00:23:08.333 --> 00:23:09.595
You can learn it, right?

00:23:09.595 --> 00:23:16.436
You watch people literally get transformed and you're like, oh, my goodness, what happened to this person?

00:23:16.436 --> 00:23:19.835
And you're like, if that could happen to them in 60 days, what could happen to me in 60 days?

00:23:19.835 --> 00:23:23.983
Being in a community is unbelievably amazing.

00:23:24.750 --> 00:23:30.452
And so we built this, where you have the mentorship, you have the accountability, you have the community, all of those things.

00:23:30.452 --> 00:23:42.442
We built everything around that because we want you to know, like, if I come into this container and I own my responsibility apparently these guys have owned their responsibility we can create magic, right?

00:23:42.442 --> 00:23:45.432
I want nothing more than to create magic with you, right?

00:23:45.432 --> 00:23:59.558
And so the reason why I took the time to explain this process and walk you through this is people say a lot of things like, oh, coaching is fake and all those things, and I think it's such a tragedy for anybody to think that?

00:23:59.558 --> 00:24:01.089
Because think about it right.

00:24:01.089 --> 00:24:09.579
Like in what professional sport would a successful person say coaching is fake, like you're not going to get there without coaching, right?

00:24:09.579 --> 00:24:12.138
A lot of the executives we know and admire that's what they do.

00:24:12.138 --> 00:24:17.337
A lot of the high-level entrepreneurs you know that's what they do and so it's not fake, right?

00:24:17.410 --> 00:24:29.730
But you do need to know how to make the decision, and that's why I shared this, and I also wanted you to see that that is that same philosophy that drives the way that the Entremet Business School is structured.

00:24:29.730 --> 00:24:49.163
So, if you are somebody who's committed to building a six, seven figure business, or you're somebody who's like I want to build a team so that I can build a business that can work without me, or I want to become someone who has revenue, confidence, like I can create wealth, I can create a six figure business, seven figure business-figure business, I want to be that person.

00:24:49.163 --> 00:24:58.101
Well, the Entremet Business School has your name written all over it and now you know how to choose, so you can make a great decision like is this for me or is this not for me?

00:24:58.101 --> 00:25:16.917
But I will tell you, we have served hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of physicians with results to prove right Massive, crazy, wild results to prove because it works right so you can make your own decision, like my friend was able to make her decision.

00:25:17.049 --> 00:25:19.618
So I want you to think about you know, what is it that you want?

00:25:19.618 --> 00:25:21.643
Stop thinking in terms of cost.

00:25:21.643 --> 00:25:25.210
Stop thinking in terms of cost, at least not the leading thoughts.

00:25:25.210 --> 00:25:27.699
The leading thought is what do I want?

00:25:27.699 --> 00:25:28.592
This is what I want.

00:25:28.592 --> 00:25:29.874
Who can give that to me?

00:25:29.874 --> 00:25:31.218
This person can give it to me.

00:25:31.218 --> 00:25:33.663
Is this person the one for the job?

00:25:33.663 --> 00:25:34.151
Have they done it?

00:25:34.151 --> 00:25:35.213
Have they done it for other people?

00:25:35.213 --> 00:25:38.342
Do we share values and all of that?

00:25:38.342 --> 00:25:39.391
You check that.

00:25:39.391 --> 00:25:41.414
They're like how can I 4X this?

00:25:41.414 --> 00:25:42.297
This is how I come.

00:25:42.297 --> 00:25:45.522
4x it Boom, let's go, let's go, okay.

00:25:45.522 --> 00:26:02.518
So I want you to think about it for yourself, I want you to get those answers for yourself and I want you to imagine that you know for any program you sign up for and it may be the Entree MD Business School, of course, if you're someone committed to building a successful, profitable business like we have been waiting for you, okay.

00:26:02.518 --> 00:26:03.380
So come talk to us.

00:26:03.380 --> 00:26:14.161
But if you choose to do that, you become this person who you never bother about it because you're like I know how to create a return on investment.

00:26:14.569 --> 00:26:20.582
I won't like Dr Una, I am deciding I will never lose money on coaching, ever.

00:26:20.582 --> 00:26:23.316
Okay, all right, so I cannot wait.

00:26:23.316 --> 00:26:27.035
I think this is an episode that would be really great for you to share with the doctors in your world.

00:26:27.035 --> 00:26:34.826
And if this hit home for you, send me a DM, send me a PM, say oh, my goodness, dr Una, so this is on Instagram or Facebook and you're like that was amazing.

00:26:34.826 --> 00:26:42.083
Thank you for giving me a framework I can use to decide if I'm going to invest in a coaching program and stuff like that.

00:26:42.083 --> 00:26:49.356
And, like you, I've decided I'm not going to lose money on coaching, decided I'm not going to lose money on coaching.

00:26:49.356 --> 00:26:52.890
Okay, so so let me know that this was helpful and I'll see you on the next episode of the Entree and Free Podcast.
