Business events are investments, not expenses.

00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:15.910
There are so many events I've been to that the magic happened, not in the room, not listening to the content, not listening to the examples, but in the conversation at lunch, in the conversation in the bathroom, because it doesn't take much.

00:00:15.910 --> 00:00:24.271
You may find out that there's this thing that you're paying for and you're using, and it's costing you 500 bucks a month that one simple automation will take care of forever.

00:00:24.271 --> 00:00:32.210
You may be having a hard time staffing your private practice and somebody lets you know how they're using VAs, and this is not a thing anymore.

00:00:32.210 --> 00:00:39.716
You may have a conversation with somebody who knows the person that you've been trying to connect with for the last four years.

00:00:39.716 --> 00:00:47.551
You may have a conversation with somebody who is down the street that they have access to hundreds of your clients that will happily refer to you.

00:00:47.551 --> 00:00:50.414
There is so much magic in networking.

00:00:50.414 --> 00:01:05.364
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.

00:01:05.364 --> 00:01:07.206
I'm your host, dr Imna.

00:01:07.206 --> 00:01:32.269
One of the most powerful and most transformative things you can do in your business ever is go to an event that is relevant to your business I want to share with you a story of how I created $740,000 just because I went to one event from one event.

00:01:32.269 --> 00:01:33.311
Okay, all right.

00:01:33.311 --> 00:01:36.968
So this is going to be an absolutely phenomenal episode.

00:01:36.968 --> 00:01:46.186
I think it will probably be one of the most transformative ones that you've ever listened to and we have some pretty good episodes and so I want you to lean in, I want you to pay attention to this.

00:01:46.186 --> 00:01:50.281
This is not just a random episode filled with fluff or anything like this.

00:01:50.281 --> 00:01:52.826
This is going to be a game changer for you.

00:01:52.826 --> 00:02:24.873
Okay, now, one of the things I've noticed you've heard me talk a lot about how I study ultra successful people, and one of the things I've noticed hanging out with them is that they are very big on going to places and being with people and being in the right room, so much so that they could find out about an event a week before the event, two days before the event, a day before the event, book a ticket and go there, and I always wondered about it.

00:02:24.873 --> 00:02:34.520
It's something that I observed, it's something that I found myself doing because of the power of being in a room Now, at the time of this recording.

00:02:34.641 --> 00:02:38.229
Entremd Live is coming up on June, the 29th of 2024.

00:02:38.229 --> 00:02:42.163
So I'm actually going to use that as a case study and then I'm going to unpack this.

00:02:42.163 --> 00:02:53.243
But after you listen to this, the way you show up at events will change completely, and the ROI the return on investment you'll get from events, will blow your mind.

00:02:53.243 --> 00:02:55.188
Okay, so I'm going to give you numbers.

00:02:55.188 --> 00:02:57.032
I'm going to be writing as we do this.

00:02:57.032 --> 00:03:01.066
I'm going to share all of this because everything is about to change for you.

00:03:01.066 --> 00:03:10.328
Okay, all right, so let me use EntreMD Live as a case study, okay, and we're going to run some numbers, we're going to play around with some numbers.

00:03:10.328 --> 00:03:12.122
I'll walk you through how I think about this.

00:03:12.122 --> 00:03:17.700
Okay, so let's say, you find out about EntreMD Live and it's a week before it.

00:03:18.442 --> 00:03:23.748
What I hear a lot of people say is oh, you know, I didn't plan for it, it's a week away, forget it, type of stuff.

00:03:23.748 --> 00:03:25.031
And of course, we should plan.

00:03:25.031 --> 00:03:26.453
I'm not saying that we shouldn't plan.

00:03:26.453 --> 00:03:32.147
In fact, we should really, really plan, but I just want to show you how to think about this, right?

00:03:32.147 --> 00:03:36.183
Okay, so let's say you know the ticket to the event.

00:03:36.183 --> 00:03:47.201
You know if you're coming to Atlanta, it's a thousand dollars, which is which it is not.

00:03:47.201 --> 00:03:48.346
But let's say that it's $1,000.

00:03:48.346 --> 00:03:50.454
And okay, so you're like, wow, the cost of it, right, and that's not the only cost.

00:03:50.454 --> 00:03:52.542
So let's say you're like, shoot, I'm 45 years old, I don't fly economy anymore.

00:03:52.542 --> 00:03:59.544
I'm nice to my body, so I fly business and from where I live it's going to cost me $1,000 to get the business class ticket to go there.

00:03:59.544 --> 00:04:01.248
Okay, so we're at $2,000.

00:04:01.248 --> 00:04:10.317
And let's say you say you say the hotel I choose to stay at is 500 bucks a night when you include taxes and all of that, and I'm going to stay for two nights.

00:04:10.317 --> 00:04:16.761
I'm going to be there the night before, the night after so I can stay back and network and all of that stuff, and that's another $1,000.

00:04:16.822 --> 00:04:20.004
Now I'm using the zeros because it's easy to do the math.

00:04:20.004 --> 00:04:25.528
And let's say you think about the opportunity cost, right, two nights away from your family.

00:04:25.528 --> 00:04:28.769
Of course you can't put a number to that, there is no number, right.

00:04:28.769 --> 00:04:41.562
But let's say, like we just put $5,000, like, for the sake of you know, making the cost, if you will quote, unquote, of the events, like you know, like I have the numbers together.

00:04:41.562 --> 00:04:49.915
So if you look at that, the actual ticket to the event for $1,000 and the flight for 1,000 and the hotel for 1,000 and the opportunity cost for 5,000, that's $8,000.

00:04:49.915 --> 00:04:53.151
And people will say, oh my goodness, that's expensive.

00:04:53.151 --> 00:04:53.935
There is a cost.

00:04:54.497 --> 00:04:58.264
Now, the ultra successful don't look at cost, they look at value.

00:04:58.264 --> 00:05:05.274
Right, it's not about what would it cost me to get there, it's about what is the value I would get out of it.

00:05:05.274 --> 00:05:12.425
Okay, so there's some employee models where they'll talk about four times profitability, four times your payroll.

00:05:12.425 --> 00:05:22.572
So what that means is, if you hire somebody or paying the person $100,000, and that person is creating $400,000 in value, that is an amazing arrangement.

00:05:22.572 --> 00:05:24.002
It's a win-win situation.

00:05:24.002 --> 00:05:30.261
You would happily pay them $100,000 all day, every day and twice on Sunday, because they're able to generate four times their salary.

00:05:30.922 --> 00:05:39.884
And so if we apply that to this model, that means it's not about the eight grand that it quote unquote costs me to go to the event.

00:05:39.884 --> 00:05:48.074
It's can I create $32,000 in value, right, which is four times 8,000.

00:05:48.074 --> 00:05:49.495
Can I produce that?

00:05:49.495 --> 00:05:51.966
Will I get that because I went to the event?

00:05:51.966 --> 00:05:53.831
If the answer is yes, what do you do?

00:05:53.831 --> 00:05:57.569
You go to the events all day, every day, and twice on Sunday, and it's not a cost.

00:05:57.569 --> 00:06:00.281
It no longer is a cost, it becomes an investment.

00:06:00.281 --> 00:06:02.706
I don't go to events that cost me.

00:06:02.706 --> 00:06:05.552
I go to events that are investments.

00:06:05.692 --> 00:06:07.723
Okay, and this is in the context of business.

00:06:07.723 --> 00:06:08.824
You know, business events.

00:06:08.824 --> 00:06:14.567
Okay, now, 4x is not the number I use, 10x is, you know, it's my floor.

00:06:14.567 --> 00:06:20.023
And there are events that I've done, you know, like a thousand X, right, but 10X is my floor.

00:06:20.023 --> 00:06:21.745
So what would that be?

00:06:21.745 --> 00:06:29.975
$80,000, right, like, if this event can create $80,000 in value, then I pay the 8,000.

00:06:29.975 --> 00:06:36.648
I paid so happily, I fly business class, so happily, right To go there because of what I know will happen.

00:06:37.149 --> 00:06:37.350
Okay.

00:06:37.350 --> 00:06:44.634
So now it's like do you just then say oh, yeah, you know, like I make $80,000 in value.

00:06:44.634 --> 00:06:46.581
I'm sure that's what happened at the end of the event?

00:06:46.581 --> 00:06:47.023
No, no, no.

00:06:47.023 --> 00:06:50.201
Like you want to be able to do the math and I'll tell you what happened.

00:06:50.201 --> 00:06:58.403
I'm going to give you a bunch of stories here, but okay, so for me, when I look at an event, I'm like okay, can I create 10X?

00:06:58.403 --> 00:07:05.771
And so, since we're using EntreeMD Live here and let's say 10X and we're saying 80 grand, okay, so let's use 80 grand, can I create 80 grand out of this?

00:07:05.771 --> 00:07:12.826
Okay, now, of course, we live in a country where I have to give you the disclaimer of I'm not promising this amount or anything.

00:07:12.826 --> 00:07:18.125
I am merely telling you how I think about it, how I approach it, how I do my math.

00:07:18.125 --> 00:07:19.567
Okay, all right.

00:07:19.567 --> 00:07:29.028
So the first place I'm going to show you three places where you can get value from, and any of these can give you 4X, 10x, 2x, 1,000x.

00:07:29.028 --> 00:07:31.132
It all depends on you know, okay.

00:07:31.132 --> 00:07:33.387
The first place is the content.

00:07:33.387 --> 00:07:36.848
Okay, the content that is going to be delivered.

00:07:36.848 --> 00:07:42.209
There is an idea, there is a concept, there is an audit.

00:07:42.209 --> 00:07:47.562
There is a concept, there is an audit.

00:07:47.562 --> 00:07:54.235
Any of these things that can go on to create unbelievable value that may hit the 80 grand, that may surpass the 80 grand.

00:07:54.235 --> 00:07:56.908
So let me give you a few examples.

00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.100
Now, again, we're using On-Term Day Live as a case study.

00:08:00.100 --> 00:08:09.295
So I want you to imagine, right, one of our sessions is going to be on the things that are working for physicians in 2024.

00:08:09.295 --> 00:08:11.584
We can say, oh, we're stuck.

00:08:11.584 --> 00:08:15.302
There's burnout, there's loss of autonomy, the you know private practice.

00:08:15.302 --> 00:08:16.264
You know what.

00:08:16.264 --> 00:08:18.230
The reimbursements are dwindling.

00:08:18.230 --> 00:08:31.583
You know DPC I'm having a hard time, you know, attracting all the clients that I want, or I have all the clients that I want, or I have all the patients that I want, but, oh my goodness, I don't have a life because they're contacting me all the time and I'm super busy.

00:08:31.903 --> 00:08:39.389
It may be, as a coach, and you've bought into this narrative that you cannot replace your physician salary with the coaching revenue and all of those things.

00:08:39.389 --> 00:08:43.485
There's all these narratives but there are things that are working right.

00:08:43.485 --> 00:08:52.783
There are things that are working in that you can have one idea, one idea that puts you in a position to take your business from where it's been.

00:08:52.783 --> 00:08:57.523
Maybe it's struggling, maybe it's doing great, maybe it's doing so great that you just don't have a life anymore.

00:08:57.523 --> 00:08:58.586
You get your life back.

00:08:58.586 --> 00:09:01.865
If you get your life back, is that worth 80,000, right, okay.

00:09:02.306 --> 00:09:04.490
So we're going to look at things that are working.

00:09:04.490 --> 00:09:06.062
We're going to look at business models.

00:09:06.062 --> 00:09:15.725
There are so many businesses that I've seen clients that I worked with and just looking at their business, I'm like there is no way to make this math work, like this business cannot work.

00:09:15.725 --> 00:09:23.692
You either have to change your volume, change your price, change your this, work around the mindset, drama around that and get it done, but the way it is it is not going to work.

00:09:23.692 --> 00:09:43.451
Just having your business model fixed can take you from a business that is not generating money or is generating revenue, but the profit margins are so thin that it doesn't even matter to a business that is now, you know, like, has profits, has cashflow that will easily, easily, be more than 80,000.

00:09:43.451 --> 00:09:50.991
Okay, we're going to look at how to 10X your visibility, and the thing about visibility is nothing works if visibility is not working.

00:09:50.991 --> 00:10:06.563
You don't have the clients you want, you don't have the 18 members you want, you don't have the referral sources you want, and there are so many opportunities that would really really change everything for your business and for your finances in general that you will not have access to because you don't have visibility.

00:10:06.563 --> 00:10:09.772
Right, we're going to look at the attraction system.

00:10:09.772 --> 00:10:18.426
Like, okay, now you're visible, lots of likes, lots of follows, big email lists, but nobody's saying yes, you don't have the clients that match up.

00:10:18.426 --> 00:10:23.565
Like, how do we create a system so you can have that and these are not?

00:10:23.565 --> 00:10:27.383
I mean like these are not things that are that don't work.

00:10:27.523 --> 00:10:28.767
For instance, we have a doc.

00:10:28.767 --> 00:10:35.792
He's in the Entremly Business School now and when he came into the school, his narrative was like listen, this is my last ditch effort.

00:10:35.792 --> 00:10:41.981
I have been working on this business for the last three years and if this does not work this time, then I'm going to have to shut it down.

00:10:41.981 --> 00:10:50.554
He has not even been in the school for up to 120 days and the conversation around shutting his business is no longer a conversation.

00:10:50.554 --> 00:10:53.149
He's having his biggest month, biggest quarter, biggest.

00:10:53.149 --> 00:10:53.652
All of that.

00:10:53.652 --> 00:10:54.456
How come?

00:10:54.456 --> 00:10:55.921
He learned an attraction system?

00:10:55.921 --> 00:11:02.280
Now, if you ask him if he made $80,000 from that one decision, he made a ton more than that.

00:11:02.280 --> 00:11:08.806
Right, because not only has he built the system and it's working, but he's built the system and it's going to continue to work.

00:11:08.806 --> 00:11:10.024
It's the gift that keeps giving.

00:11:11.008 --> 00:11:13.427
Okay, we're going to talk about the dream life.

00:11:13.427 --> 00:11:21.506
A lot of times, people treat business like they treat medical school and residency Like I'm going to put off my life until I am done with this and there's no being done with business.

00:11:21.506 --> 00:11:27.956
And, frankly, we're at an age and a time and we've given up so much that it doesn't make sense to put our dream life on hold anymore.

00:11:27.956 --> 00:11:34.094
So the question is how can I build my dream life while I am building my dream business?

00:11:34.094 --> 00:11:38.240
And that is a thing that in Entremdi, we talk about it a lot In the Entremdi Business School.

00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:41.404
We just live there because you can build both concurrently.

00:11:41.904 --> 00:11:45.192
So that's the first thing, is the content, is the content?

00:11:45.192 --> 00:11:45.914
Is the content?

00:11:45.914 --> 00:11:47.018
Okay, so that's the first one.

00:11:47.018 --> 00:11:51.996
The second one, and it's one of my favorite, is the examples.

00:11:51.996 --> 00:11:56.216
Now, people go to events and they just do the content and they're done.

00:11:56.216 --> 00:11:59.313
It is a third of what you can get out of an event.

00:11:59.313 --> 00:12:00.216
It is a third.

00:12:00.216 --> 00:12:06.832
If you miss these other things, you're leaving so much money, so much transformation, so much peace and quiet on the table.

00:12:06.832 --> 00:12:08.764
Okay, so it's the examples.

00:12:09.105 --> 00:12:15.138
Now, when it comes to the examples, it is the examples of the people who are in the room.

00:12:15.138 --> 00:12:24.174
Okay, so you may be running a business that is doing a million, but in the room there'll be people who are running multiple businesses doing millions.

00:12:24.174 --> 00:12:30.092
There'll be people in the room running $8 million businesses, $5 million businesses and things like that.

00:12:30.092 --> 00:12:31.657
You may not have a team at all.

00:12:31.657 --> 00:12:47.357
They have so much drama around hiring and all of those things, and there may be people there who are leading a team of 15, leading a team of 20, leading an A team that is literally running their business and they're not running it right, and so you get to see these real life examples on what it's like.

00:12:47.357 --> 00:12:52.313
It's like the concepts you learn in the content, but you have people who are living it out.

00:12:52.313 --> 00:12:54.404
It's almost like learning by storytelling.

00:12:54.404 --> 00:12:57.956
It is so powerful to see an example in the room.

00:12:58.745 --> 00:13:04.812
Now I told you that I was gonna tell you about how I made $740,000 at an event and I'll tell you what that was.

00:13:04.812 --> 00:13:08.551
I made $740,000 at an event and I'll tell you what that was.

00:13:08.551 --> 00:13:19.817
So in 2020, as a business, entremes degenerated $260,000 in revenue and in 2021, I had no grand plan to make that different.

00:13:19.817 --> 00:13:22.673
My prices were the same, my marketing strategy was the same.

00:13:22.673 --> 00:13:23.376
It was all the same.

00:13:23.376 --> 00:13:27.450
And, frankly, you know, I was already running a very successful private practice.

00:13:27.450 --> 00:13:29.354
You, you know like I was like.

00:13:29.354 --> 00:13:33.168
I was like, yeah, you know, we'll do the business and stuff like that.

00:13:33.710 --> 00:13:39.091
I think one of the things I had going for me is I did not want to be a ceiling for anybody in the physician community.

00:13:39.091 --> 00:13:40.697
So I was like, okay, I'll grow it.

00:13:40.697 --> 00:13:52.129
I grow it almost like an experiment, so people can see what is possible.

00:13:52.129 --> 00:13:52.149
So I was driving.

00:13:52.149 --> 00:13:53.336
I was like, yeah, it would be better if we make more and all of these things.

00:13:53.336 --> 00:13:53.909
And I saw I have this nudge and I'm like, what if you could make it a million dollars?

00:13:53.909 --> 00:13:54.035
I'm like, how are you going to make it?

00:13:54.035 --> 00:13:55.679
Who goes from $260,000 to a million dollars?

00:13:55.679 --> 00:14:04.562
But anyway, come 2021, january, february, march I'm totally on track to do what I did last year, or a little more, I think.

00:14:04.562 --> 00:14:07.306
Actually, I was on track to do for that first quarter.

00:14:07.306 --> 00:14:08.889
We had done about 120,000.

00:14:08.889 --> 00:14:15.813
So I was on track to do near to half a million, right, which is not a million, but I mean like it's almost twice.

00:14:15.813 --> 00:14:18.687
You know what we had done the year before and I was good with that.

00:14:18.687 --> 00:14:22.792
But I was like, yeah, but it would be nice to make a million, how would you do that?

00:14:22.792 --> 00:14:28.841
Right, but it was a thought I, you know, I had, yeah, kind of had to quite worked it out and things like this.

00:14:28.904 --> 00:14:29.990
And then I go to this event.

00:14:29.990 --> 00:14:31.910
It wasn't the content.

00:14:31.910 --> 00:14:34.745
This is why I'm taking the time to explain this.

00:14:34.745 --> 00:14:35.706
It wasn't the content.

00:14:35.706 --> 00:14:38.508
So there was content, I was listening, I was fascinated, I was learning new things.

00:14:38.508 --> 00:14:39.668
It was amazing All of that.

00:14:40.429 --> 00:14:56.298
Now, somewhere, a conversation and somebody came up to share and she was talking about her business and she said someone had approached me to buy my business and it was going to be a nine figure acquisition.

00:14:56.298 --> 00:14:58.799
Okay, so I'm counting one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:00.880
I mean like we're talking a minimum of a hundred million.

00:15:00.880 --> 00:15:02.001
I'm like that's amazing.

00:15:02.001 --> 00:15:09.846
So she says that's what the offer was.

00:15:09.846 --> 00:15:10.649
And I turned down the offer.

00:15:10.649 --> 00:15:11.831
And I was like well, this is getting fascinating.

00:15:11.831 --> 00:15:19.625
And she said I turned down the offer because I think in a few years we'll be able to get there ourselves generating 9 million or you know, and stuff like that.

00:15:19.625 --> 00:15:21.109
And I'm like, okay.

00:15:21.109 --> 00:15:24.096
And then she made a statement, a statement I will never forget.

00:15:24.345 --> 00:15:25.648
This was March of 2021.

00:15:25.648 --> 00:15:30.879
And she said at this point in our business, we're doing an easy million a month.

00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:34.894
That exploded in me.

00:15:34.894 --> 00:15:41.677
Okay, I'm like so here I am thinking I might, could maybe take up the thing and do a million in a year.

00:15:41.677 --> 00:15:45.379
And somebody is just like yeah, you know, like at this point we're doing an easy million a month.

00:15:45.379 --> 00:15:52.216
I'm like an easy million, we're doing an easy million a month, I'm like an easy million a month, an easy million a month, an easy million a month.

00:15:52.216 --> 00:16:01.466
If she could do an easy million a month, then it is possible for me to do an easy million a year, like in 12 times the time.

00:16:02.568 --> 00:16:07.822
And I thought about it and it was a whole process as far as me accepting that.

00:16:07.822 --> 00:16:14.352
But the starting point was that one sentence we're doing an easy million a month.

00:16:14.352 --> 00:16:40.028
And so I sat with that thought, I imagined it, I leaned into it and before I left that event I went straight to my computer, changed the pricing on my products, changed the offerings, the process, what we offer, the results we can get people, changed all of that.

00:16:40.028 --> 00:16:43.653
And that year we ended at a million dollars.

00:16:43.653 --> 00:16:50.289
And so when you think about it, that's why I said from that event I made $740,000.

00:16:50.289 --> 00:16:53.336
Just from that one line.

00:16:53.336 --> 00:16:54.698
Do you see what I'm saying?

00:16:54.698 --> 00:17:10.137
And if I think about it, maybe I paid, maybe the investment to be at that event probably was somewhere in the neighborhood of five or $8,000, but, oh my goodness, like measure the ROI, right, okay.

00:17:10.137 --> 00:17:12.352
So the story.

00:17:12.565 --> 00:17:15.515
So you pay attention to the people in the room.

00:17:15.515 --> 00:17:22.593
You pay attention to the stories that are being shared because their results there, those results, are designed to inspire.

00:17:22.593 --> 00:17:25.152
Now, if it's not something you want to do, you don't have to do it.

00:17:25.152 --> 00:17:27.969
It's a buffet you can pick, but this was something I wanted to do.

00:17:27.969 --> 00:17:30.354
So you pay attention to the stories.

00:17:30.354 --> 00:17:33.990
You pay attention to the processes, right, that they tell you about.

00:17:33.990 --> 00:17:40.713
You pay attention to all of that because there's so many things that have been struggles that one person's story will fix.

00:17:40.713 --> 00:17:49.269
So it's the example of the people who are in the room, the attendees, the other speakers, all of those kinds of things, all those stories that are shared.

00:17:49.269 --> 00:17:54.699
It's also the example of the people who are putting on the event.

00:17:55.244 --> 00:17:56.268
Again, people miss this.

00:17:56.268 --> 00:17:59.414
Right, when I go for an event, I'm paying attention.

00:17:59.414 --> 00:18:00.969
How are they engaging the people?

00:18:00.969 --> 00:18:01.714
How are they wowing the attention?

00:18:01.714 --> 00:18:02.500
How are they engaging the people?

00:18:02.500 --> 00:18:03.546
How are they wowing the people?

00:18:03.546 --> 00:18:06.133
How are they helping the people get results?

00:18:06.133 --> 00:18:08.645
Okay, people are having aha moments and all of that.

00:18:08.645 --> 00:18:10.329
What is triggering those?

00:18:10.329 --> 00:18:12.154
Okay, I was at this event last year.

00:18:12.154 --> 00:18:12.957
I'm here this year.

00:18:12.957 --> 00:18:15.712
How did they upgrade this event, right?

00:18:15.712 --> 00:18:17.839
How did they get people to register?

00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:19.986
You pay attention to it.

00:18:19.986 --> 00:18:21.550
How are they growing?

00:18:21.550 --> 00:18:22.994
How is this company growing?

00:18:22.994 --> 00:18:25.910
How is the leader showing up All of these things?

00:18:25.970 --> 00:18:29.076
Because, listen, there is school.

00:18:29.076 --> 00:18:30.038
That is school.

00:18:30.038 --> 00:18:34.054
Where you go, you sit down, a professor tells you all the things and you do that.

00:18:34.054 --> 00:18:40.196
But there is life school, there's business school, which you don't just learn from whatever is happening from the stage.

00:18:40.196 --> 00:18:41.750
You learn from all of it.

00:18:41.750 --> 00:18:47.432
You learn from what they said, you learn from what they didn't say, you learn from what you observe, you learn from conversations other people are having.

00:18:47.432 --> 00:18:48.729
It's all learning.

00:18:48.729 --> 00:18:50.114
It's all learning.

00:18:50.114 --> 00:18:57.439
So, learning from the example of the organizers, especially if you are a speaker.

00:18:57.439 --> 00:19:03.276
Oh my goodness, listen to what they said, but listen to how they said it.

00:19:03.276 --> 00:19:05.067
Watch how they showed up on stage.

00:19:05.067 --> 00:19:06.289
How did they start their talk?

00:19:06.289 --> 00:19:07.432
How did they end it?

00:19:07.432 --> 00:19:09.897
Where did they get the people?

00:19:09.897 --> 00:19:11.107
Where did they lose the people?

00:19:11.107 --> 00:19:17.508
All of that, if you host events, you're paying attention, like, how are they doing it?

00:19:18.150 --> 00:19:29.895
I have learned so much and I you know like I say this very humbly, but I've done this for many years I hold some of the most transformational events Like cause.

00:19:29.895 --> 00:19:33.247
I treat my events like a processing unit.

00:19:33.247 --> 00:19:35.593
My intention is you come in one way.

00:19:35.593 --> 00:19:36.955
You go through the events.

00:19:36.955 --> 00:19:48.515
You leave a completely different way with your limiting beliefs handled, like, if you must have limiting beliefs, have new ones, but you know that new ones at the new level that you're at, but you know limiting beliefs are gone.

00:19:48.515 --> 00:19:49.780
You have the strategies you need.

00:19:49.780 --> 00:19:51.086
You have the connections you need.

00:19:51.086 --> 00:19:55.136
The things that you believe are possible for yourself are completely different.

00:19:55.136 --> 00:19:57.228
Hangups are removed, obstacles are removed.

00:19:57.248 --> 00:20:05.693
Like I host transformational events and I pay attention to every event I go to, where is the transformation happening?

00:20:05.693 --> 00:20:07.711
Where is the transformation happening?

00:20:07.711 --> 00:20:11.075
What can I add to the skill set that I already have?

00:20:11.075 --> 00:20:13.773
There's so much you can learn just by observing.

00:20:13.773 --> 00:20:22.215
So when I see people who are like I host events, I'm a speaker, all this stuff, I'm like do that, get yourself over here, right, okay.

00:20:22.215 --> 00:20:24.646
So you see how powerful an example.

00:20:24.646 --> 00:20:36.314
So when I talk about this whole $740,000, this was from an event, but not the content, but from an example Right, okay.

00:20:36.894 --> 00:20:39.259
And then the third thing is networking.

00:20:39.259 --> 00:20:51.458
Now, I know that a lot of the people who listen to me maybe you included a lot of them are introverts and it's almost like networking is this thing for extroverts.

00:20:51.458 --> 00:20:58.252
The truth of the matter is you've heard me say this many times networking is not a personality type, it is a skill.

00:20:58.252 --> 00:21:02.955
There is a skill of networking and I would like to let you know that, whether you're an introvert or extrovert, you need to acquire this skill.

00:21:02.955 --> 00:21:06.558
There is a skill of networking and I would like to let you know that, whether you're an introvert or extrovert, you need to acquire this skill.

00:21:06.558 --> 00:21:14.855
Okay, it's a skill, and so you can have somebody who is very extroverted, who is out there, but it's not effective at networking because, again, it's not a personality type.

00:21:14.855 --> 00:21:17.726
And if you're an introvert, don't remove yourself from this conversation.

00:21:17.726 --> 00:21:18.627
You can network.

00:21:18.627 --> 00:21:23.815
Okay, after that you're going to need to go be by yourself for a little bit to recharge, but you can absolutely network.

00:21:23.855 --> 00:21:37.798
So in those conversations there are so many events I've been to that the magic happened, not in the room, not listening to the content, not listening to the examples, but in the conversation at lunch.

00:21:37.798 --> 00:21:54.297
In the conversation I kid you, not in the bathroom, right, and it is because it doesn't take much you may find out that there's this thing that you're paying for and you're using and it's costing you 500 bucks a month that one simple automation will take care of forever.

00:21:54.297 --> 00:22:02.194
You may be having a hard time staffing your private practice and somebody lets you know how they're using VAs, and this is not a thing anymore.

00:22:02.194 --> 00:22:11.436
You may have a conversation with somebody who knows the person that you've been trying to connect with for the last four years.

00:22:11.436 --> 00:22:21.500
You may have a conversation with somebody who is down the street, who is easily a dream 100 for you, meaning that they have access to hundreds of your clients that will happily refer to you.

00:22:21.800 --> 00:22:33.420
There is so much magic in networking, so much so when I go for an event, okay, I don't see going to an event as a cost.

00:22:33.420 --> 00:22:38.634
I see it as an investment, because I know how to create an ROI.

00:22:38.634 --> 00:22:42.448
I know how to create a return on investment, and that is what I'm trying to show you here.

00:22:42.448 --> 00:22:43.909
Okay, so how to create a return on investment, and that is what I'm trying to show you here.

00:22:43.909 --> 00:22:47.236
Okay, so can you create a return on investment?

00:22:47.236 --> 00:22:48.778
Yes, where would you get it from?

00:22:48.778 --> 00:22:50.388
Number one the content.

00:22:50.388 --> 00:22:52.113
You pay attention, knowing.

00:22:52.113 --> 00:22:53.636
I'm just looking for a few good ideas.

00:22:53.636 --> 00:22:55.950
These are the obstacles I'm having.

00:22:55.950 --> 00:22:58.665
I'm just looking for some information to get rid of these obstacles.

00:22:58.665 --> 00:22:59.788
This is a limiting belief.

00:22:59.788 --> 00:23:01.992
I just need some information to get rid of this.

00:23:02.314 --> 00:23:05.361
You come with that level of curiosity and intentionality.

00:23:05.361 --> 00:23:07.325
It could be the content.

00:23:07.325 --> 00:23:09.108
That may be where you find it.

00:23:09.108 --> 00:23:24.570
The other place where you can generate an ROI is from the stories, from the examples, examples from people in the room, other speakers that come up, people who share how entrepreneurship has gone for them, and all of those things, and the example of the person hosting it.

00:23:24.570 --> 00:23:32.435
There are some people who came for the first EntreeMD Live in 2019, so five years ago and they're coming five years later.

00:23:32.435 --> 00:23:41.275
It's going to be a whole education in how much your life can change in five years if you just consistently put one foot in front of another.

00:23:41.275 --> 00:23:42.585
That's what it's going to be.

00:23:42.585 --> 00:23:49.288
It's going to be so wild for them, right, when they come into the room, and so you get to study that, right.

00:23:49.809 --> 00:23:54.159
The third place you generate an ROI from which is so powerful is networking.

00:23:54.159 --> 00:23:55.386
It's networking.

00:23:55.386 --> 00:24:03.186
You get in the room, you sit closer to the front, you make eye contact with people, you pull out your hand and give people warm handshakes.

00:24:03.186 --> 00:24:08.077
I'm like this is who I am and all of that stuff and ask them about themselves.

00:24:08.077 --> 00:24:09.749
You will be surprised.

00:24:09.749 --> 00:24:11.655
There is so much magic.

00:24:11.655 --> 00:24:19.096
This is so serious that in the Entrepreneurial Business School I teach this all the time and I'm like take full advantage of what you have.

00:24:19.285 --> 00:24:28.213
You are in a room with a hundred other physician, entrepreneurs, who are committed to their goals, who are crushing it, who are handling challenges, and all of that.

00:24:28.213 --> 00:24:30.613
They have access to the people you need.

00:24:30.613 --> 00:24:33.173
They have access to the expertise you need.

00:24:33.173 --> 00:24:35.512
They have access to the referral sources you need.

00:24:35.512 --> 00:24:46.171
I mean, it's so crazy what we do when we have our live calls and I'm teaching and all of that is so powerful, but, oh my goodness, the people in the room.

00:24:46.171 --> 00:24:53.653
No one person can create the magic of a room, and what makes it magic is the people in the room, right?

00:24:53.653 --> 00:24:58.210
So when you go for an event, don't hide, don't not talk to people.

00:24:58.210 --> 00:25:00.914
Oh my goodness, because humans are like.

00:25:00.914 --> 00:25:02.778
They're like little treasure bags.

00:25:02.778 --> 00:25:12.451
They have so much gold, so many gems on the inside of them, but if you don't engage, you'll never know, because everybody just looks human.

00:25:12.451 --> 00:25:16.287
So now you know how to create a return on investment.

00:25:16.827 --> 00:25:22.499
Now, if you're listening to this, right after it was recorded, entremdi Live is coming up June the 29th.

00:25:22.499 --> 00:25:25.509
It's a Saturday, so full day, 10 am to 4 pm.

00:25:25.509 --> 00:25:30.578
It is in Atlanta and the beautiful city of Atlanta.

00:25:30.578 --> 00:25:40.534
It's in Atlanta, and maybe you've been on the fence about it, maybe you've even registered to attend virtually because you thought you couldn't come because of the cost.

00:25:40.534 --> 00:25:43.968
I want you to look again at it as an investment.

00:25:43.968 --> 00:25:48.499
If you've listened to the podcast, you know what we deliver.

00:25:48.499 --> 00:25:52.573
You can easily create an ROI on it from the podcast.

00:25:52.573 --> 00:26:00.125
So I want you to imagine a six-hour immersive experience with you in the room with other rockstar physician entrepreneurs.

00:26:00.125 --> 00:26:03.153
Even many of the doctors from the EntreMet Business School are going to be there.

00:26:03.153 --> 00:26:05.116
I want you to imagine what that will be like.

00:26:05.116 --> 00:26:09.817
It is so worth whatever it will cost you to get a quote, unquote last minute ticket.

00:26:09.817 --> 00:26:13.976
It is so worth it for whatever you will spend to be there.

00:26:14.325 --> 00:26:17.115
I want to challenge you to be in the room.

00:26:17.115 --> 00:26:21.528
I want to challenge you to show up and show up to get an ROI.

00:26:21.528 --> 00:26:23.269
I want to challenge you to show up and show up to get an ROI.

00:26:23.269 --> 00:26:40.650
So where, like me, maybe I'll be interviewing you six months from now and you'll say Dr Una, let me tell you how I made a hundred grand, 80 grand, 1 million from EntreeMD Live, right, entreemd Live 2024.

00:26:40.670 --> 00:26:43.836
So, entreemdcom forward, slash, live, go get your ticket.

00:26:43.836 --> 00:26:46.505
Go plan to be in the room Now.

00:26:46.505 --> 00:26:50.613
If you're like man, you know what's happening.

00:26:50.613 --> 00:26:58.211
There is no physical way I can be there, be sure to get the virtual tickets and show up the same way.

00:26:58.211 --> 00:27:12.007
But if you can be in that room, I want to challenge you to be in that room and when you do that, I want you to come ready to get an ROI.

00:27:12.007 --> 00:27:16.296
And for every other event you attend virtual or in-person from now, I want you to show up like a savvy entrepreneur.

00:27:16.296 --> 00:27:20.832
You show up and you get everything you came to get.

00:27:20.832 --> 00:27:31.675
You leave that place and you will never, ever call an event an expense again, because it's an investment and you know how to invest.

00:27:31.675 --> 00:27:35.731
Okay, so go get your tickets on trendycom forward slash live.

00:27:35.731 --> 00:27:38.205
If you can be in the room, in the physical room, be in the room.

00:27:38.205 --> 00:27:43.586
If you're going to attend virtually, attend virtually, but show up and get your ROI.

00:27:43.767 --> 00:27:48.117
I want to hear your story after the event of how you used it to change your life.

00:27:48.117 --> 00:27:50.270
Okay, now let me know.

00:27:50.270 --> 00:27:52.459
You can send me a PM, a DM, let me know.

00:27:52.459 --> 00:27:53.983
This was so impactful.

00:27:53.983 --> 00:27:59.432
Dr Una, I'm never attending events the same way because this is such a game changer for me.

00:27:59.432 --> 00:28:04.819
I have become this person that I know how to transform my life.

00:28:04.819 --> 00:28:10.637
It's like a technology that I know how to use, and I want that to be your experience as well.

00:28:10.637 --> 00:28:15.288
So let me know like oh my goodness, dr Una, this was good and I'm going to apply it and I'll see you in Atlanta.

00:28:15.288 --> 00:28:22.554
Okay, all right, cannot wait to see you in Atlanta and I will see you on the next episode of the Uncrendy Podcast.
