00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.870
There's a group of people who are committed to patients.
00:00:02.870 --> 00:00:07.687
There's a group of people who have an unbelievable capacity of putting people before profits.
00:00:07.687 --> 00:00:09.486
There are a group of people.
00:00:09.486 --> 00:00:14.028
They're the ones who are going to change healthcare, and that is us.
00:00:14.028 --> 00:00:27.986
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.
00:00:27.986 --> 00:00:29.810
I'm your host, dr Imna.
00:00:29.810 --> 00:00:44.573
In the very first business book I wrote, which was called the Entremet Method, I made a statement there and I said the Calvary isn't coming, it is here, it is us.
00:00:44.573 --> 00:00:57.579
Okay, when you look at all the things going on in healthcare and you're like this is gone, it's so messed up, all of those things, I want to invite you to not be a part of that conversation, because nobody's coming to change it.
00:00:57.579 --> 00:00:59.222
The insurance companies can't change it.
00:00:59.222 --> 00:01:03.445
Big Pharma is not going to change the hospital system, for sure, they're not going to change it.
00:01:03.445 --> 00:01:06.819
But there's a group of people who are committed to patients.
00:01:06.819 --> 00:01:11.751
There's a group of people who have an unbelievable capacity of putting people before profits.
00:01:11.751 --> 00:01:18.774
There is a group of people and they're the ones who are going to change health care, and that is us.
00:01:18.774 --> 00:01:22.391
Ok, we, the physicians, we're the ones, we are the ones who took the oath.
00:01:22.391 --> 00:01:25.862
The relationship is called a doctor-patient relationship.
00:01:25.862 --> 00:01:31.362
Everybody else is a middleman, and it's time for us to go back to taking responsibility for that.
00:01:31.362 --> 00:01:34.611
Okay, and I want you to hear me out so maybe you're listening to this.
00:01:34.611 --> 00:01:38.608
You don't own a private practice or you own a private practice, but I want you to lean and I want you to hear this.
00:01:38.608 --> 00:01:42.405
I want you to share this with the doctors in your world.
00:01:42.405 --> 00:01:48.144
I want you to rise to answer the call, because that's what is going on now At the time of this, recording the day this goes live.
00:01:49.027 --> 00:01:51.153
This is National Private Practice Physicians Day.
00:01:51.153 --> 00:01:54.025
Okay, this is a day that we created.
00:01:54.025 --> 00:01:56.512
Entreemd created last year.
00:01:56.512 --> 00:02:14.890
Last year was the very first one private practice docs to kind of acknowledge them what they're doing to make it a big day where there's a big boost for them, whether that's reviews that are coming in, referrals that they get, people sharing their stories of how they've been such a gift to them, and all of that.
00:02:14.890 --> 00:02:22.223
So it's a movement for, you know, private practice docs, a movement for physicians and a movement for physician allies.
00:02:22.223 --> 00:02:34.627
Okay, so what I want to do is kind of unpack you know what this is, so you can rise and you can be part of the cavalry, because if we have all hands on deck we will turn this right side up.
00:02:35.050 --> 00:02:48.943
Now, before we created this day, I started getting very concerned because, you know, initially I had this whole focus of, you know, helping doctors thrive in private practice and all of that stuff which is good for everybody.
00:02:48.943 --> 00:02:56.587
But then I started seeing, on a systemic level, if we don't do this, we're going to run into some major problems.
00:02:56.587 --> 00:03:07.175
Walmart and their decision to close 50 of their stores, and I remember thinking about it like, just like that, just a corporate decision.
00:03:07.175 --> 00:03:10.217
Boom, we're going to close 50 stores and 50 clinics.
00:03:10.217 --> 00:03:17.639
Not 50 stores, 50 clinics.
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:18.441
And I said, wait, hold on.
00:03:18.441 --> 00:03:24.883
I was like if they close 50, let's say, each one had a panel size of a thousand, that's 50,000 displaced patients in one state.
00:03:24.883 --> 00:03:29.465
That's like 50,000 displaced patients in one state, that's like 50,000.
00:03:29.465 --> 00:03:34.888
And so I think, you know, I'm like it's easy for them to walk away, but do we have the private practices that can absorb these people?
00:03:35.687 --> 00:03:37.269
And then it wasn't only Walmart.
00:03:37.269 --> 00:03:42.471
Then CVS made their announcement and you know, and all these announcements started going.
00:03:42.471 --> 00:03:43.531
I'm like, oh my goodness.
00:03:43.531 --> 00:03:56.097
I'm like, if we don't help, private practice owners win, we're talking about real people not having access to care, real people having delayed care, real people having complications they didn't need to have.
00:03:56.097 --> 00:03:58.877
Real people dying right.
00:03:58.877 --> 00:04:00.498
And so this is beyond just.
00:04:00.498 --> 00:04:06.528
You know, I want my private practice to thrive and I want your private practice to thrive, and we've created resources so your private practice can thrive.
00:04:06.528 --> 00:04:08.461
But it's a little more than that.
00:04:08.461 --> 00:04:12.353
Like, the United States of America needs you.
00:04:12.353 --> 00:04:14.359
You're listening to this, it needs you.
00:04:14.359 --> 00:04:17.266
Okay, all right, so let's lean into this a little bit.
00:04:17.425 --> 00:04:21.480
Okay, so last year we implemented this and you know we looked at the problems.
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:23.882
What are the problems that people are facing in private practice?
00:04:23.882 --> 00:04:24.963
Because these are real problems.
00:04:24.963 --> 00:04:25.983
They're real problems.
00:04:25.983 --> 00:04:31.507
The first problem is the decreasing reimbursements and, as you know, this was a reason last year.
00:04:31.507 --> 00:04:33.088
Okay, this was a problem last year.
00:04:33.088 --> 00:04:41.454
And then this year, in addition to that already being a challenge, medicare decides to cut by another 2.83%.
00:04:41.454 --> 00:04:44.055
Okay, so is this a real problem?
00:04:44.055 --> 00:04:45.336
Yes, it's a real problem.
00:04:45.336 --> 00:04:51.488
The second problem is that, you know, the cost of delivering the service is so much higher.
00:04:51.488 --> 00:04:56.545
Like post COVID, it just went through the roof.
00:04:56.545 --> 00:05:09.490
It's so much higher to deliver the same care, and so, on one hand, you have that the reimbursements are less and, on the other hand, you have that the cost is more, so, which means for many, the profits have completely disappeared.
00:05:09.490 --> 00:05:10.904
Hang on, I'm going to show you something.
00:05:10.904 --> 00:05:12.048
Okay, I'm going somewhere with this.
00:05:12.048 --> 00:05:14.468
I'm definitely not going to leave you at the point of the problem.
00:05:15.141 --> 00:05:17.019
The third thing is the administrative burdens.
00:05:17.019 --> 00:05:21.410
Oh, my goodness, right, there's always a new thing the prior authorizations, all of those stuff.
00:05:21.410 --> 00:05:22.269
So hospitalizations, all of those stuff.
00:05:22.269 --> 00:05:36.821
So there are doctors who talk about spending as much as 10 to 16 hours a week on non-clinical work, just catching up on all this stuff, and that's non-paid time, that's just time doing stuff in addition to what you really need to do, which is take care of the patients.
00:05:36.821 --> 00:05:45.226
And then, fourth, you have the corporate takeover, right, whether that's by hospitals I don't want to use the word intimidation, but it's very close to it right?
00:05:45.226 --> 00:05:58.271
Whether it's hospitals or private equity and stuff like that, some of them, you know, with very interesting practices and applying such a squeeze that private practices are finding it difficult to stay open.
00:05:58.271 --> 00:06:07.343
And the truth of the matter is, you know we are at a time where more private practices are owned by hospitals of corporate entities like private equity than actual physicians, okay.
00:06:07.985 --> 00:06:16.973
And then the fifth problem, and this was a problem that came right after COVID, and that was the great resignation, and so you have it's more difficult to keep staff.
00:06:16.973 --> 00:06:22.052
Of course, you know salaries and all that stuff have gone through the roof and all of that.
00:06:22.052 --> 00:06:24.786
So it's been challenging.
00:06:24.786 --> 00:06:27.463
So I'm not denying the challenge.
00:06:27.463 --> 00:06:32.744
They're challenging, okay, and these challenges create cashflow problems, they create burnout, they create all of that.
00:06:33.947 --> 00:06:38.723
And if you've listened to me for a while, you know what my philosophy is.
00:06:38.723 --> 00:06:47.230
And my philosophy is if we apply great business principles, we can build private practices that are thriving in spite of these challenges.
00:06:47.230 --> 00:06:52.853
Once we have enough private practices thriving, then we can come and go for the system.
00:06:52.853 --> 00:07:02.685
In our disempowered state we're not going to go for the system Like that's just not the way it works, right, that's just not the way it works.
00:07:02.685 --> 00:07:13.079
And so our first part is to take care of the owners, and once we have enough owners that we've taken care of, then we can go for the system.
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:14.362
Okay, all right.
00:07:14.442 --> 00:07:16.526
So we did a number of things.
00:07:16.526 --> 00:07:33.182
So last year, on the day of the National Private Practice Physician Day, we launched the Profitable Private Practice Playbook, which is a book that we wrote showing seven ways doctors, private practice owners, leave money on the table and how to fix that.
00:07:33.182 --> 00:07:36.644
And this is a book, it's not fluff, there's nothing fluffy about it.
00:07:36.644 --> 00:07:43.346
Like you literally read chapter one, go do chapter one, read chapter two, go do chapter two, and everyone leads to cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching.
00:07:43.346 --> 00:07:51.228
Okay, and so we released that playbook and it was a way of you know, like we have the Entremet Business School.
00:07:51.228 --> 00:07:55.697
I know everybody's not going to come into the Entremet Business School, but everybody can buy a $15 book.
00:07:55.697 --> 00:07:57.663
Okay, it's $15.99.
00:07:57.663 --> 00:07:59.490
And I think the ebook is like $5.
00:07:59.911 --> 00:08:05.524
And so now it's like everybody has at their tips what they can do to stop the bleed in their private practices.
00:08:05.524 --> 00:08:12.620
And so many practices have such significant bleeds that if they just apply this, it will feel like they gave themselves a raise.
00:08:12.620 --> 00:08:19.947
Okay, it will be like, oh, this is our best year yet Meanwhile it was the same number of patients because there's so much money left on the table.
00:08:19.947 --> 00:08:21.297
So that's what we did.
00:08:21.297 --> 00:08:27.668
So today the book is a year old, which is phenomenal, okay so.
00:08:27.668 --> 00:08:33.517
So we did, which is phenomenal.
00:08:33.517 --> 00:08:34.198
Okay so we did that right.
00:08:34.198 --> 00:08:34.922
But since then, what have we done?
00:08:34.922 --> 00:08:43.971
Okay, so we've sold thousands, hundreds and hundreds and thousands of copies of the Profitable Private Practice Playbook, which has led to transformation in the lives of real doctors.
00:08:44.331 --> 00:09:00.260
In fact, I'm going to pull up here, I'm going to pull up here, some of the reviews that people have left for that book, because I want you to see and if you haven't got a copy, you can go to Amazon, it's called the Profitable Private Practice Playbook and get your copy.
00:09:00.260 --> 00:09:06.660
If you have any doctor in your life, anyone that you love, who owns a private practice, you want to get them a copy as well.
00:09:06.660 --> 00:09:07.982
Okay, okay.
00:09:07.982 --> 00:09:18.005
So this is the review section, and I'm just going to pick a few because I think that would be powerful for you to see.
00:09:18.005 --> 00:09:22.836
Okay, so this is Dr Sabo.
00:09:22.836 --> 00:09:24.160
She's a veteran.
00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:25.663
She's run her practice for decades.
00:09:25.724 --> 00:09:34.528
At this point, she said running a private practice is hard in our current environment, where regulations, insurance, reimbursements all favor big institutions.
00:09:34.528 --> 00:09:40.577
However, the heart of patient care is in private practice, where patients are treated as a human and not a number.
00:09:40.577 --> 00:09:47.842
It is also where physicians can freely use their knowledge to prescribe the right medication and not dictated by political interests.
00:09:47.842 --> 00:09:57.080
This book is essential for the physician entrepreneur who, despite all odds out there, wants to serve and help patients in a financially sound way.
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:04.744
I love the way Dr Una points out one by one the different departments in our practices to examine and where to make changes.
00:10:04.744 --> 00:10:10.004
This information was definitely a great summary and inspires me to audit my company and make changes immediately.
00:10:10.004 --> 00:10:11.698
Okay, so that was her.
00:10:11.698 --> 00:10:12.643
I love this.
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:15.544
This is Dr Deepak.
00:10:15.544 --> 00:10:31.456
Dr Deepak says as a physician in private practice and in this era where most of the physicians are employed or working for large healthcare systems, this book is like a guide, a step-by-step Bible on the how-to for your private practice, your business and for you as a physician.
00:10:31.456 --> 00:10:41.945
I have read the first 20 pages and I'm blown away with action steps implemented this week and witnessed instant results.
00:10:41.945 --> 00:10:43.567
Remember I told you it was no fluff.
00:10:43.567 --> 00:10:47.522
Internal and external marketing really was such an eye-opener.
00:10:47.522 --> 00:10:51.109
Buy it, read it and implement those actions.
00:10:51.109 --> 00:10:55.363
You will thank and love yourself for running your private practice successfully.
00:10:55.363 --> 00:10:56.541
And I could go on and on and on.
00:10:56.541 --> 00:11:05.380
There's so many reviews there, and so we spent the year working on getting this book in the hands of doctors so they can create all these transformations and create all these changes.
00:11:05.380 --> 00:11:10.775
There's rarely a day that goes by where somebody doesn't buy a copy of the book, right?
00:11:10.775 --> 00:11:12.020
So we have all of these things happening.
00:11:12.020 --> 00:11:12.724
So that's number one.
00:11:13.687 --> 00:11:21.386
Then in December, so I spent time thinking like okay, what else can I do for private practice docs on a large scale?
00:11:21.386 --> 00:11:28.687
When you think about it, it's 123,000 primary care practices alone, not including specialty care, just primary care.
00:11:28.687 --> 00:11:30.636
And I'm like what can I do?
00:11:30.636 --> 00:11:39.062
And after you know, sitting with the team doing a lot of work and all of this, we came up with a profitable private practice movement.
00:11:39.062 --> 00:11:41.086
Okay, and this is a membership.
00:11:41.086 --> 00:11:42.437
It's less than a cappuccino day.
00:11:42.437 --> 00:11:44.340
It's $197 a month.
00:11:44.340 --> 00:11:49.326
I saw doctors going like you are nuts for doing that, like you could charge 10,000 a year for this thing.
00:11:49.326 --> 00:11:56.097
And I know, I know, I know, but there's a reason I did that and we created this membership and it's so simple.
00:11:56.097 --> 00:11:56.860
It's so simple.
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:01.878
Literally every Thursday, the doctors get together to work on their businesses.
00:12:01.878 --> 00:12:05.451
So sometimes once a month, it's a strategy session with me.
00:12:05.451 --> 00:12:20.655
I have taught them things like how to turn your business around in 90 days, how to create a seven-figure marketing plan, how to create a seven-figure referral base, how to make data-driven decisions like a seven-figure CEO, and so many great sessions like that.
00:12:20.655 --> 00:12:33.609
Then I also have doctors who are also running million-dollar practices come in and share their stories behind the scenes, answer questions, and so we've had a lot of phenomenal docs come in so, so phenomenal.
00:12:33.609 --> 00:12:34.691
We've had a big shout out.
00:12:34.691 --> 00:12:37.255
Dr Oluyemisi has come in.
00:12:37.255 --> 00:12:39.100
We've had Dr Anita Wanga come in.
00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:39.942
We had Dr Tulu.
00:12:39.942 --> 00:12:44.278
Dr Tulu talked about how to turn your current team into your dream team, and all of that.
00:12:44.278 --> 00:12:45.400
We had Dr Sarah Merritt.
00:12:45.400 --> 00:12:48.886
So we've had all these doctors come in, right, and so they'd come in.
00:12:48.886 --> 00:12:52.192
And then the other two weeks they're doing co-working sessions.
00:12:52.192 --> 00:12:55.159
So the things they've learned, they just come together, they're working on it.
00:12:55.200 --> 00:13:02.486
So imagine this you have every Thursday you're getting world-class mentorship and then you're working on your practice.
00:13:02.486 --> 00:13:11.009
And so what people have done nuts, like people have built, you know, like so many reviews that now they have tons of patients coming through reviews.
00:13:11.009 --> 00:13:12.561
They've built referral bases.
00:13:12.561 --> 00:13:18.508
We've had patients who just started practices and the week they started they had referrals coming in.
00:13:18.508 --> 00:13:20.000
Like, I want you to think about that.
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:20.863
You have referrals.
00:13:20.863 --> 00:13:25.462
We have people who are now training their office managers, so their office managers are now creating results.
00:13:25.462 --> 00:13:36.544
We have someone who's like I was finally able to take, you know, two weeks off, you know, because now I understand how to create revenue in my business.
00:13:36.544 --> 00:13:38.832
Had another doc who's like now I'm confident, as the CEO of my practice, I understand how to make money.
00:13:38.832 --> 00:13:40.238
Come on, guys Like so wild.
00:13:40.278 --> 00:13:48.844
So so we built that very simple, not a lot of curriculum, not because we don't have time for that, okay, and and so they come in every Thursday.
00:13:48.844 --> 00:13:56.836
They work on their businesses, you know, do, do the work and create the results, then go see their patients, and all that come back next Thursday.
00:13:56.836 --> 00:14:05.086
I want you to think about this coming together once a week with such an amazing community of physician entrepreneurs and creating results in your business week to week.
00:14:05.086 --> 00:14:13.405
Okay, all right, so so we did that and it's been, it's been mind bogglingly phenomenal, okay, so that's that's that.
00:14:13.405 --> 00:14:14.109
You can check it out.
00:14:14.109 --> 00:14:19.264
It's it's ontrendycom forward slash movement, and if you're a private practice owner, oh my goodness, come join us.
00:14:19.264 --> 00:14:33.436
You have, literally you have nothing to lose, cause if you think about the value you get on, a podcast episode is more than $197 for the episode, and you get all of this for $197 a month.
00:14:33.436 --> 00:14:36.078
It's insane, it's beyond insane, so, anyway.
00:14:36.078 --> 00:14:38.261
So we did that, okay.
00:14:38.261 --> 00:15:03.761
And then we also launched a private practice specific YouTube channel where we just do the nitty gritty how to do those interviews, how to meet with your team for big results, how to fill up your panel in 90 days, one of your biggest referral sources.
00:15:03.761 --> 00:15:05.166
We did some stuff on AI, all of that Okay.
00:15:05.166 --> 00:15:11.201
And so if you go to YouTube at the private practice channel and then you'll see that there Again, what are we doing this for?
00:15:11.280 --> 00:15:14.909
We need to see private practices thrive as many as possible.
00:15:14.909 --> 00:15:22.025
Some will pay us, some will pay us a little, some of them will be in the entrepreneur business school, pay us a lot, whatever, but we want to see everybody win, okay.
00:15:22.025 --> 00:15:23.568
So that's what we did.
00:15:23.568 --> 00:15:26.094
And so what have the results been?
00:15:26.094 --> 00:15:26.860
Over the last?
00:15:26.860 --> 00:15:38.476
Um, over the last year, we have seen private practices go from you know we're not making any money um to now, there's seven figure practices, multiple seven figure practices.
00:15:38.476 --> 00:15:46.407
We celebrated our first clients to have a first seven-figure month, first seven-figure month.
00:15:46.447 --> 00:15:59.605
We've had people who were approached by private equity, who could comfortably say no, thank you, and take me off your list because they know what to do to make that One of them had taken.
00:15:59.605 --> 00:16:11.860
I think she did half a million last year and this year she had her first quarter where she did 275,000 for the quarter and so she's on her path to her first million.
00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:19.352
And so when private equity was like oh yeah, and she's like oh no, thank you, because she knows what to do to take it to a million.
00:16:19.352 --> 00:16:21.837
She knows what to do to take it to multiple seven figures, she knows it, she's on the path.
00:16:21.837 --> 00:16:23.582
A million she knows what to do to take you to multiple seven figures, she knows it, she's on the path right.
00:16:23.582 --> 00:16:31.287
Okay, we had so many doctors getting their time back for the like oh, my goodness, this is the first time I was able to take two weeks off, four weeks off, eight weeks off.
00:16:31.287 --> 00:16:41.809
I had a challenge in my family or a loved one who passed on, and I was able to just send my team a text and say, take care of it, I need to be gone.
00:16:41.809 --> 00:16:44.192
And they were gone and their practice was working.
00:16:44.932 --> 00:16:47.034
We have so many people who have rockstar teams.
00:16:47.034 --> 00:16:48.456
Now they have nightmare teams.
00:16:48.456 --> 00:16:51.700
Now they have rockstar teams because they know how to lead their team.
00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:53.667
They know how to create profitable teams.
00:16:53.667 --> 00:17:04.064
Right, because that's one of the places where, in private practice, all profits go to dies with the team, because it's the biggest expense, if you will, but there's no ROI.
00:17:04.064 --> 00:17:22.474
And so they're building these rockstar teams and they're just loving it, and so we've had so many of those things happen and we're so grateful so many new practices launched, so many of them growing really well, so many of them scaling, because we support everyone, support everyone, grow, launch, you know, launch, grow, scale.
00:17:22.474 --> 00:17:26.156
The whole gamut and you know.
00:17:26.156 --> 00:17:30.645
So those are the things that we've seen and we're so excited about it.
00:17:30.645 --> 00:17:32.570
So we're so excited about the tools we've built.
00:17:32.611 --> 00:17:43.737
So we've built the YouTube channel, we've built the Profitable Private Practice Playbook, we've built the Profitable Private Practice Movements, which is a membership, and then the entrepreneur business school and the entrepreneur business school.
00:17:43.737 --> 00:17:44.501
We have the tier.
00:17:44.501 --> 00:17:49.280
We have the first tier, which is like grow, and we have the second tier, which is like skill.
00:17:49.280 --> 00:17:56.041
So the doctor is doing who have crossed the million dollar mark, that's where they come to scale and all of that stuff.
00:17:56.041 --> 00:18:03.035
And so we were so committed, guys, what I'm saying is we're so committed to seeing private practice owners win.
00:18:03.035 --> 00:18:06.365
We're so committed and I want to invite you, okay?
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:11.528
So today's National Private Practice Physician Day is all about the physician who owns a private practice.
00:18:11.528 --> 00:18:18.819
I already told you the challenges they're having the decreased reimbursement, the increased cost of living, the administrative headaches, the cashflow problems, the burnout, like.
00:18:18.819 --> 00:18:26.634
All these things are potentials and even for the ones who don't experience this, it is a Herculean task in our time to build these practices.
00:18:26.634 --> 00:18:32.362
We show them what to do.
00:18:32.362 --> 00:18:33.766
They're getting it done, but they're doing it against odds.
00:18:33.766 --> 00:18:40.647
They're doing it because of their commitment to patients and healthcare and all of those things, and I really want us to make today special for them, okay, okay.
00:18:40.647 --> 00:18:43.384
So here are some of the things you can do, okay.
00:18:43.724 --> 00:18:49.527
So one is if you're a private practice doctor, your private practice owner is a physician.
00:18:49.527 --> 00:18:51.131
I want you to share your story.
00:18:51.131 --> 00:18:53.356
Share your story Now.
00:18:53.356 --> 00:18:57.566
You use the hashtag shared on social media NPPPD, right?
00:18:57.566 --> 00:18:59.849
National Private Practice Physician Day NPPD.
00:18:59.849 --> 00:19:05.126
So use that hashtag, hashtag NPPD, but share your story, right?
00:19:05.126 --> 00:19:06.652
You know, this is who I am.
00:19:06.652 --> 00:19:08.517
This is who I take care of.
00:19:08.517 --> 00:19:12.126
This is why I'm so excited to be a private practice doctor.
00:19:12.207 --> 00:19:13.009
Today's our day.
00:19:13.009 --> 00:19:14.942
I'd love it if you celebrate, you know, in the comments.
00:19:14.942 --> 00:19:18.631
Let me let us know how our practice has served you or how I've served you, or whatever.
00:19:18.631 --> 00:19:22.922
But share your story and if you tag us, I will reshare your stuff.
00:19:22.922 --> 00:19:26.622
I'll come there and promote you and do all of that stuff because I want to see you win.
00:19:26.622 --> 00:19:28.586
So share your story, right?
00:19:28.586 --> 00:19:29.208
Share a story.
00:19:29.208 --> 00:19:31.173
You can share a story of a patient's life.
00:19:31.173 --> 00:19:32.300
Who's better and you're like.
00:19:32.300 --> 00:19:47.190
This is why I do what I do and, yes, it's one of the most challenging times, but I'm here and I'm here for the long haul, right, and so do that and put the hashtag there and invite your patients to share their stories.
00:19:47.190 --> 00:19:52.790
Share why they continue to come back to you, be so surprised and sometimes in the days that is challenging.
00:19:52.790 --> 00:19:54.723
It's good to have that to look at.
00:19:54.723 --> 00:19:56.551
Right, it's good to have that, okay.
00:19:56.893 --> 00:20:03.066
Second thing, whether you're a private practice doc or not, I want you to shout out another private practice doc, because guess what?
00:20:03.066 --> 00:20:07.965
I know you have a doctor, okay, so chances are you have a primary care if your woman has also have an ob-gyn.
00:20:07.965 --> 00:20:14.451
You may have a dermatologist, you may have a gastroenterologist, you may have whatever it is, but, oh my goodness, do a post, shout them out.
00:20:14.451 --> 00:20:17.045
Tell them thank you, like for somebody.
00:20:17.045 --> 00:20:24.178
And let me tell you practice dogs they get so much coming at them that it is so fun for them to be able.
00:20:24.178 --> 00:20:25.339
It is so helpful.
00:20:25.339 --> 00:20:35.859
It is so meaningful for them to read that what they do is working, that the sacrifices they're making it's even worth it, okay.
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:43.884
So, whether you're a dog or not, a private practice dog or not, celebrate another private practice dog or not a private practice doc or not, celebrate another private practice doc.
00:20:43.884 --> 00:20:44.084
Tag them.
00:20:44.084 --> 00:20:44.464
Tag their practice.
00:20:44.464 --> 00:20:49.981
Share a meaningful story with some meat to it, of how they changed your life or how they turned something around.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.870
00:00:02.870 --> 00:00:07.687
00:00:07.687 --> 00:00:09.486
00:00:09.486 --> 00:00:14.028
00:00:14.028 --> 00:00:27.986

00:01:11.751 --> 00:01:18.774
00:01:18.774 --> 00:01:22.391
00:01:22.391 --> 00:01:25.862
00:01:25.862 --> 00:01:31.362
00:01:31.362 --> 00:01:34.611
00:01:34.611 --> 00:01:38.608
00:01:38.608 --> 00:01:42.405
00:01:42.405 --> 00:01:48.144
00:01:49.027 --> 00:01:51.153
00:01:51.153 --> 00:01:54.025
00:01:54.025 --> 00:01:56.512
00:01:56.512 --> 00:02:14.890
00:02:14.890 --> 00:02:22.223
00:02:22.223 --> 00:02:34.627
00:02:35.050 --> 00:02:48.943

00:04:41.454 --> 00:04:44.055
00:04:44.055 --> 00:04:45.336
00:04:45.336 --> 00:04:51.488
00:04:51.488 --> 00:04:56.545
00:04:56.545 --> 00:05:09.490
00:05:09.490 --> 00:05:10.904
00:05:10.904 --> 00:05:12.048
00:05:12.048 --> 00:05:14.468
00:05:15.141 --> 00:05:17.019
00:05:17.019 --> 00:05:21.410
00:05:21.410 --> 00:05:22.269
