00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:07.389
Every single time you say, oh, I want that, something that is different, something that is a preferred future, something that is a quantum leap from where you are right now.

00:00:07.389 --> 00:00:08.942
I want you to start thinking.

00:00:08.942 --> 00:00:11.589
For me to have that, something needs to change.

00:00:11.589 --> 00:00:15.026
For me to have that, I need to show up differently, I need to connect differently.

00:00:15.026 --> 00:00:16.190
I need to do something different.

00:00:16.190 --> 00:00:17.423
There's something needs to happen.

00:00:17.423 --> 00:00:18.448
That's the prize.

00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:32.643
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.

00:00:32.643 --> 00:00:34.490
I'm your host, Dr Imna.

00:00:39.362 --> 00:00:51.747
Have you ever found yourself frustrated because you know you think your business is growing because you're getting more patients and getting more clients, but you also have a significant number of people who have been patients and clients who are leaving.

00:00:51.747 --> 00:00:54.304
Have you ever wondered, like what do I need to do?

00:00:54.304 --> 00:01:00.222
So, year to year, my client base, my audience base, my patient base, continues to grow?

00:01:00.222 --> 00:01:13.349
Or maybe you have patients or clients who they've worked with you, they've kind of gotten used to you, and you're like, how do I continue to position myself as a person who is the answer for whatever problem it is your business solves for them?

00:01:13.349 --> 00:01:17.786
Well, in this episode of the EntreMD podcast, I am going to show you what I do.

00:01:17.786 --> 00:01:26.382
I'm actually going to take you behind the scenes to show you what I do to put my business in a position where, year after year, people continue to work with us.

00:01:26.382 --> 00:01:31.721
So the EntreMD Business School at the time of this recording is about to be five years old.

00:01:31.721 --> 00:01:36.673
Okay, so the EntreMD Business School started in on June, the 27th of 2020.

00:01:36.673 --> 00:01:44.156
It's about to hit its fifth birthday and we have people who have been in the EntreMD Business School since day one and are still in and are not planning to leave.

00:01:44.156 --> 00:01:46.715
So we have people who have been in the Entree MD Business School since day one and are still in and are not planning to leave.

00:01:46.715 --> 00:01:50.751
So we have doctors who have been in the school for five years, four years, three years, two years, one year.

00:01:50.751 --> 00:01:53.269
I mean we have some doctors who joined, just you know, last week.

00:01:53.269 --> 00:01:54.283
So we have all of that.

00:01:54.283 --> 00:02:00.671
But we have these doctors who've been on and they came up with the hashtag, you know, hashtag EBS for life, and things like that.

00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:06.480
Why do they do that?

00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:07.343
Okay, First of all, what will be required?

00:02:07.343 --> 00:02:08.847
And then I'm going to give you a very practical example.

00:02:08.847 --> 00:02:10.671
Okay, so, first of all, think about your business.

00:02:10.671 --> 00:02:18.907
As this business that continues to grow, People continue to come into your audience, people continue to re-up with you, even when you get them results.

00:02:18.907 --> 00:02:24.389
You've positioned yourself to continue to get them results, and things like that is going to require three things.

00:02:24.389 --> 00:02:34.866
One of them is you're going to be the kind of entrepreneur that believes in continuous improvement, which means your product or your service is never done.

00:02:34.866 --> 00:02:39.967
I want you to start thinking about your product or your service like the iPhone, right?

00:02:39.967 --> 00:02:44.423
And so what that means is, every single year, if you think about what the iPhone does.

00:02:44.423 --> 00:02:52.669
You know they spend time in research and development and prototyping and all of those things to come up with a better version of the iPhone.

00:02:52.669 --> 00:02:54.546
So their goal is not perfection.

00:02:54.546 --> 00:02:57.689
Their goal is not a phone that doesn't need improvement.

00:02:57.689 --> 00:03:00.889
Their goal is just a better, is a better version.

00:03:00.889 --> 00:03:04.669
And that's the same thing that I have done with my business, with EntreeMD.

00:03:05.069 --> 00:03:12.789
Whether it is on the podcast, whether it's with the books we write, whether it was the EntreeMD business school, we're constantly looking like how can we make this better?

00:03:12.789 --> 00:03:16.027
How can we help our people, you know, get better results?

00:03:16.027 --> 00:03:18.015
How can we make this a better experience?

00:03:18.015 --> 00:03:20.141
But we know that we never arrive.

00:03:20.141 --> 00:03:21.465
We have never arrived.

00:03:21.784 --> 00:03:27.241
The EntreeMD Business School has been changing consistently from day one, from day one.

00:03:27.241 --> 00:03:29.168
So that's the first thing that will be required of you.

00:03:29.168 --> 00:03:44.935
The second thing that will be required of you is a relentless focus on getting your clients results right, because sometimes you know there is the trap of, you know, thinking about your business as the final product or the final service, and so we're all in.

00:03:44.935 --> 00:03:47.245
You know, what fires do we need to put out in our business?

00:03:47.245 --> 00:03:48.990
What do we need to make our businesses better.

00:03:48.990 --> 00:03:51.185
What is it that we need to do to hit this revenue goal?

00:03:51.185 --> 00:03:59.191
And all of those things and while, yes, I talk about revenue a lot and, you know, like a whole lot, it cannot be the leader.

00:03:59.191 --> 00:04:06.062
It is not enough of a leader, it is not motivating enough, it will not spark enough creativity, it will make you feel stalled.

00:04:06.062 --> 00:04:27.985
You also always want to have a focus on how do I get my people results, and so a lot of the programming you see, if there's a book we wrote, if there's a podcast episode that we did, if there's new programming we've added into the EntreeMD Business School and all of that it is all because we are focused on results and we want to help our people get results.

00:04:27.985 --> 00:04:31.802
So we do not acquire bells and whistles to have bells and whistles.

00:04:31.802 --> 00:04:36.973
We do not add new programming to what we do just to do it because it looks good.

00:04:36.973 --> 00:04:45.581
Everything we do because we've thought what is it that our clients need for them to get results, and then we go create that Okay, and that becomes the thing.

00:04:45.581 --> 00:04:51.846
So we have this relentless focus on getting people results and I'm going to give you a perfect example, like really perfect.

00:04:51.846 --> 00:04:53.331
We just did this last week.

00:04:53.331 --> 00:04:53.610
Now.

00:04:53.651 --> 00:05:04.009
The third thing you want to do is you want to have a pulse on your clients, or your patients, because you need to understand what it is that is their perceived need, right?

00:05:04.009 --> 00:05:09.291
So, for me, as an entrepreneur, there are many things I know that my clients need okay.

00:05:09.291 --> 00:05:14.870
So, for instance, I know, like you're building a business, marketing needs to be on point, sales needs to be on point.

00:05:14.870 --> 00:05:16.081
I know you need to build a brand.

00:05:16.081 --> 00:05:22.764
I know, as a physician, you need to make that transition from physician to physician entrepreneur, you need to learn to manage your time.

00:05:22.764 --> 00:05:27.771
You need to understand the 20% so you can spend most of your time doing 20% activities.

00:05:27.771 --> 00:05:37.466
I understand that you need to know how to hire great team members, how to lead them, how to hold them accountable, how to evaluate them, how to determine how each role makes revenue.

00:05:37.466 --> 00:05:39.331
Like, I have a ton of things that I know.

00:05:39.331 --> 00:05:42.687
These are the things you need if you're going to build a successful business.

00:05:42.687 --> 00:05:46.716
So I know these things things you need if you're going to build a successful business.

00:05:46.716 --> 00:05:47.720
So I know these things.

00:05:52.060 --> 00:05:53.466
But I also have to know what the perceived needs of my clients are.

00:05:53.466 --> 00:05:54.992
Like, I know they need these things, but what do they feel they need?

00:05:54.992 --> 00:05:56.456
What do they think is getting in their way?

00:05:56.456 --> 00:06:00.233
What do they feel is the thing like, ooh, if I had this, it would really help me, right?

00:06:00.233 --> 00:06:05.130
Because a magical place to be is where there's that overlap with the principles.

00:06:05.130 --> 00:06:16.343
Like you know, this is what this person needs, but you're able to communicate it through the filter and through the lens of what they feel that they need, because they're not going to respond to what I think they need.

00:06:16.343 --> 00:06:31.750
They're going to respond to what they think they need, right, and so the more far away I am from my clients, the less relevant I can be, the less results I can give them, the less I position myself as a person who can help them.

00:06:32.050 --> 00:06:33.786
Okay, so this is really important to know.

00:06:33.786 --> 00:06:36.127
So, continuous improvements we never arrive.

00:06:36.127 --> 00:06:37.786
We never, ever arrive.

00:06:37.786 --> 00:06:41.324
This is why I'm constantly learning, this is why I'm constantly evolving out.

00:06:41.324 --> 00:06:42.468
Because we don't arrive.

00:06:42.468 --> 00:06:47.129
Okay, relentless focus on getting the client's results, because that's the whole purpose of the business.

00:06:47.129 --> 00:06:50.447
The business gets people results and it does it in a profitable way.

00:06:50.447 --> 00:06:56.949
It gets people results and they give a thank you note called money, right, and so we need to remember that as your business gets busier.

00:06:56.949 --> 00:07:04.690
There is this trap to start building the business and you focus on that more than getting people results, and that is always a mistake, okay.

00:07:04.690 --> 00:07:06.855
And then the third thing is a pulse on the clients.

00:07:06.855 --> 00:07:09.607
You need to know what feels like an urgent need to them.

00:07:09.607 --> 00:07:11.211
Okay, let's bring this home, okay.

00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:20.242
So I was thinking about the doctors in the entre MD business school and you know, at the time of this recording, we have the summer coming up, okay, and the summer coming up.

00:07:20.242 --> 00:07:22.105
This presented some things, okay.

00:07:22.105 --> 00:07:25.329
So I'm going to walk you through what I have four things here, okay, so.

00:07:25.329 --> 00:07:30.483
So I would just want to walk you through the way I thought about it and what we did and what I anticipate will happen.

00:07:30.483 --> 00:07:32.629
So the first thing I started looking at was the problem.

00:07:32.629 --> 00:07:33.521
So what was the problem?

00:07:33.521 --> 00:07:34.444
The summer was here.

00:07:35.024 --> 00:07:36.850
A lot of businesses have a summer slump.

00:07:36.850 --> 00:07:38.581
A lot of them have a summer slump.

00:07:38.581 --> 00:07:48.785
The people, the entrepreneurs, get so distracted that they stop taking the critical steps that will make sure their businesses keep moving forward.

00:07:48.785 --> 00:07:56.331
And if you think about it, we're talking about you know almost we're talking about a 90 day period and your results in your businesses lag.

00:07:56.331 --> 00:08:01.531
So what that means is the results I'm seeing now are results of things that I did 90 days ago.

00:08:01.531 --> 00:08:04.466
Okay, of course it's not an exact formula, but right.

00:08:04.466 --> 00:08:17.583
So so it's 90 days ago and so I may say, ooh, everything is working now and I can take my foot off the gas for the next 90 days and I'll still be creating results, because I'm still living off the results I created 90 days ago.

00:08:17.583 --> 00:08:20.127
But guess what happens 90 days from now?

00:08:20.127 --> 00:08:24.845
Now I have no results because the previous 90 days I did nothing.

00:08:24.845 --> 00:08:27.331
I did nothing that really mattered for the business.

00:08:27.331 --> 00:08:29.809
So a lot of times this is what happens over the summer.

00:08:29.809 --> 00:08:35.267
So come the fall, it's like nothing is happening, like my business has come to a standstill.

00:08:35.267 --> 00:08:40.828
I don't have the patients, the clients are not coming in, but when you check in the summer, nothing happened.

00:08:41.311 --> 00:08:43.366
Okay, so this is so critical.

00:08:43.366 --> 00:08:48.046
It is something that needs to be fixed, right, because it's such a problem.

00:08:48.046 --> 00:08:50.211
Now, does that mean don't have a summer?

00:08:50.211 --> 00:08:51.442
No, that's not what that means.

00:08:51.442 --> 00:08:52.648
But how can we do it?

00:08:52.648 --> 00:08:56.884
Where we leverage the summer so that we still create the results and have a summer?

00:08:56.884 --> 00:09:04.011
So, anyway, so the problem the summer slump, the fact that a lot of people don't execute in the summer, so the fall is like an absolute disaster.

00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:11.905
And then there's this other thing when they're working on their businesses, now they feel guilty because they're like, oh man, I could have been on this trip with my family.

00:09:11.905 --> 00:09:17.009
And when they're on a trip with their family, I'm like, oh man, I feel so guilty because I should have been working on my business.

00:09:17.009 --> 00:09:27.816
And so we have this thing of people are just generally I mean, the pictures are nice, but there's a lot of dissatisfaction and there's a lot of, you know, conflict internally and all this stuff.

00:09:27.816 --> 00:09:29.245
So this is what I'm thinking about.

00:09:29.245 --> 00:09:30.384
Like I'm thinking about my clients.

00:09:30.384 --> 00:09:33.753
I'm thinking this is what happens in the summer, so that's the problem.

00:09:34.054 --> 00:09:36.344
So I said, okay, well, what could it look like?

00:09:36.344 --> 00:09:39.765
Like what is a preferred future that they could have, right?

00:09:39.765 --> 00:09:42.160
And so when I think about it, I'm like what if?

00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:43.163
And not what if?

00:09:43.163 --> 00:09:48.197
From a standpoint is of this is possible, because I've done this many times and many of my clients have done this many times.

00:09:48.197 --> 00:09:53.105
But I'm looking for a way to make it a culture, and it's a thing that we all do in the Entremet Business School.

00:09:53.105 --> 00:10:03.490
So I'm like, what could it look like instead of having a disaster of a fall and feeling guilty through the summer and feeling stressed out because you didn't travel, or feeling stressed out because you did travel.

00:10:03.490 --> 00:10:04.711
Right, like, what could it be?

00:10:04.711 --> 00:10:11.846
And I said, well, you could have a summer where, at the end of the summer, when you look back, you're like, okay, did my business move forward?

00:10:11.846 --> 00:10:15.461
Yes, it did, and did I get to have a dream summer?

00:10:15.461 --> 00:10:25.341
So I, you know, I spent time with myself, I spent time with my family, maybe I was able to travel or whatever that is Like, could I have those two things?

00:10:25.341 --> 00:10:26.003
And the answer to that is yes.

00:10:26.003 --> 00:10:26.765
Right, this is the preferred future.

00:10:26.785 --> 00:10:27.850
And I want to be very clear.

00:10:27.850 --> 00:10:30.782
When I talk about dream summer, I'm not talking about Instagram stuff.

00:10:30.782 --> 00:10:37.264
I'm talking about the things that are important to you and a version of the summer that is a significant upgrade from your last summer.

00:10:37.264 --> 00:10:48.403
Right Like, it was a better experience, maybe had more time off, or maybe you have to have more meaningful connections and trips and stuff like that, or whatever that is for you.

00:10:48.403 --> 00:11:04.206
So there's no way to do the summer right Like, for instance, you know, we have some things going on in our family and businesses and church and all of those things and we realized we would be better off traveling, saving our travel for the second half of the year, rather than trying to fit it in the summer.

00:11:04.206 --> 00:11:06.000
And so we're not traveling this summer.

00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:06.962
But guess what we're going to have?

00:11:06.962 --> 00:11:10.342
We're going to have a dream summer, because we've built the summer that works for us.

00:11:10.342 --> 00:11:15.301
It's going to be a lot of fun, it will be a summer to remember, it will be absolutely phenomenal.

00:11:15.301 --> 00:11:17.985
But that's our definition, that's our version.

00:11:17.985 --> 00:11:19.288
I just wanted to throw that out there.

00:11:19.589 --> 00:11:24.985
Okay, so we've looked at the problem and the reason I'm walking through this is because I want you to do this in your business as well.

00:11:24.985 --> 00:11:32.645
So we've looked at the problem, we've looked at the preferred future, and so then, number three then I was like okay, so what is the prize for that?

00:11:32.645 --> 00:11:36.043
And this is a very powerful question to ask yourself.

00:11:36.043 --> 00:11:44.359
Every single time you say, ooh, I want that, like something that is different, something that is a preferred future, something that is a quantum leap from where you are right now.

00:11:44.359 --> 00:11:49.599
I want you to start thinking okay, for me to have that, something needs to change.

00:11:49.599 --> 00:11:54.479
For me to have that, I need to show up differently, I need to connect differently, I need to do something different.

00:11:54.479 --> 00:11:55.721
There's something needs to happen.

00:11:55.721 --> 00:12:06.047
That's the price, okay, so we talked about this summer, where, at the end of the summer, the business moved forward significantly and we had a dream summer.

00:12:06.047 --> 00:12:06.589
What is the price for that?

00:12:06.589 --> 00:12:07.653
What do I need to quote unquote pay for that?

00:12:07.653 --> 00:12:09.099
What do I need to change for that?

00:12:09.219 --> 00:12:11.730
Okay, and as I thought about it, I thought about a few things.

00:12:11.730 --> 00:12:18.051
Okay, what it means is that, ultimately, we're going to do we're going to get a lot more done by doing less.

00:12:18.051 --> 00:12:19.576
Right, that's what will need to happen.

00:12:19.576 --> 00:12:21.461
We'll get a lot more done by doing less.

00:12:21.461 --> 00:12:23.326
Now, what is the secret for that?

00:12:23.326 --> 00:12:32.239
I know that one of the secrets is strategic action, right, and so we don't have time to mess around with the things that are not moving the needle.

00:12:32.239 --> 00:12:42.500
We don't have time to actively procrastinate, and what I mean by that is you're very busy but you're procrastinating on all the most important things that will get you the results.

00:12:42.802 --> 00:12:44.907
This is a time where we show up.

00:12:44.907 --> 00:12:50.809
We do the most significant work, like the work that moves the needle the most.

00:12:50.809 --> 00:12:59.458
We do that because those are your 20% activities, and your 20% activities are always fewer but have bigger impacts, right.

00:12:59.458 --> 00:13:05.239
So we need to take strategic action, which means we need to identify what those actions are and that we need to take them.

00:13:05.239 --> 00:13:06.481
We need to do them, okay.

00:13:06.481 --> 00:13:08.496
So I know that's one of the things that will need to happen.

00:13:08.496 --> 00:13:10.243
That's one of the prizes we would need to pay.

00:13:10.243 --> 00:13:14.057
The other prize I need I know we would need to pay is strategic use of time.

00:13:14.376 --> 00:13:17.519
Now, it's very closely related to strategic action.

00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:29.947
But we can't just show up and do whatever it is we want, whenever we want, because we want to have the time for the family, we want to have the time for the trip, we want to have the wisely and all of that.

00:13:29.947 --> 00:13:47.369
So, like we just can't afford it because the opportunity costs is we cannot have, you know, like significant quantum leaps in business and dream summer, like there's no scenario where that happens, right?

00:13:47.369 --> 00:13:52.484
So I'm like, okay, we need to take strategic action, we need to use our time strategically.

00:13:52.484 --> 00:13:57.383
And then the third thing is we need to prioritize our life and our business.

00:13:57.383 --> 00:14:03.408
Like, if we don't prioritize them, something will fall, something will be ignored, something won't happen.

00:14:03.890 --> 00:14:11.480
And so, for instance, when I start talking about you know me talking to the students about it I'm like we're going to put both of these things up.

00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:18.623
Right, we created a theme and I'll tell you about it in a second, but we're going to put both of these things up so we can drive for both things, okay.

00:14:18.623 --> 00:14:22.629
So it's not like the life is in the back corner or the business is in the back corner.

00:14:22.629 --> 00:14:24.061
We're prioritizing both.

00:14:24.061 --> 00:14:25.479
Why we want to have both.

00:14:25.479 --> 00:14:28.081
Okay, so that's the prize.

00:14:28.081 --> 00:14:30.624
So we're not going to do things the same.

00:14:31.215 --> 00:14:46.759
And so, because that's the prize, then the question is then, as the person who is the leader of the on-trend business school, as a person who is coaching them and showing them the way, and all of that, how do I create, how do I create an environment that will drive people to do these things?

00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:55.307
How do I create an environment where we're not having more programming, where we're having less programming but more powerful, more impactful?

00:14:55.307 --> 00:14:56.176
How do we do that?

00:14:56.176 --> 00:14:58.701
How do I sell them on this idea?

00:14:58.701 --> 00:15:02.299
How do I help them pay the price that must be paid?

00:15:02.299 --> 00:15:05.471
So these are all the things that I was thinking about.

00:15:05.591 --> 00:15:13.039
And then after that, so I looked at the problem, I looked at the preferred future, I looked at the prize, then I came up with the plan.

00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:13.600
Okay.

00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:15.645
So the game plan, what is it that we're going to do?

00:15:15.645 --> 00:15:24.524
I did not realize they were all P's, my four P formula for wowing your clients endlessly Okay, but anyway.

00:15:24.524 --> 00:15:26.607
So then it was the plan.

00:15:26.788 --> 00:15:32.051
Okay, the plan here is okay, let us create a summer experience.

00:15:32.051 --> 00:15:33.495
And this is the way I thought about it.

00:15:33.495 --> 00:15:45.327
I said an hour during the spring and an hour during the summer are not the same, and if people are going to come up on calls on Wednesday and show up live and all of those things, I want them to go.

00:15:45.327 --> 00:15:47.323
Like, my goodness, like you know, it's the summer.

00:15:47.323 --> 00:15:57.245
I have all these things going on, but I'm so glad I came on this call, like I want to make it doubly as valuable, because that time is valuable and I want to be respectful of their time, right.

00:15:57.245 --> 00:16:05.985
And so I said, okay, so these Wednesday calls, we're going to use this as the incubator for all the things that we're going to do over the summer, and you know, and all of that.

00:16:06.115 --> 00:16:07.761
But I skipped one one thing.

00:16:07.761 --> 00:16:09.302
Let me tell you about that real quick.

00:16:09.302 --> 00:16:14.101
One of the things that I did was I remember I talked about having your pulse on the clients.

00:16:14.101 --> 00:16:15.566
I know what they need.

00:16:15.566 --> 00:16:32.998
Right, like, from my perspective and experience, you know, running multiple businesses and in different industries and all of that and coaching hundreds and thousands, at this point actually, of physicians, I know what they need but at the same time, I want to know what they think they need or what they're working on, what they're doing, so I can customize it as much as possible.

00:16:33.499 --> 00:16:41.366
So actually, I did a number of surveys and so, you know, with one group of doctors I was like, okay, what are you working on for the summer?

00:16:41.366 --> 00:16:46.812
Right, like, so we have June the 20th, you know, officially June the 20th to September 22nd, I think it is.

00:16:46.812 --> 00:16:52.015
I said what are you working on?

00:16:52.015 --> 00:16:53.317
What are the top things you want to accomplish in your business?

00:16:53.317 --> 00:16:55.442
And so, you know, people started telling me what that was and all of that.

00:16:55.442 --> 00:17:00.110
And when I looked at it, I was like, okay, at the end of the day, is revenue, is team?

00:17:00.274 --> 00:17:03.686
Some people want to launch some new programs or verticals and stuff like that.

00:17:03.686 --> 00:17:09.923
Some people want to lead their team better, restructure their teams so that they're more efficient and they're more profitable, and all of those things.

00:17:09.923 --> 00:17:11.661
So there were themes that I noticed.

00:17:11.661 --> 00:17:12.736
Right, there are things I noticed.

00:17:12.736 --> 00:17:20.328
So I took what I know they need and I took what it is they're working on and I wove that together to then create this plan, this game plan.

00:17:20.328 --> 00:17:21.719
That is the summer experience.

00:17:21.719 --> 00:17:27.500
And I really, you know, like, when I think about it, you know the summer experience is all about how do I get them to.

00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:30.948
You know, work through so much in little time.

00:17:30.948 --> 00:17:37.208
So they end up having a lot of traction over the summer and they had the time to spend with their families and all that stuff.

00:17:37.535 --> 00:17:48.586
So let me walk you through some of them, okay, so I told you that a lot of the things that came up were around team, were about launching relaunching programs or new verticals or launching their businesses and stuff like that.

00:17:48.586 --> 00:17:52.045
And then you know, of course, the mind that you know there's always mindset stuff.

00:17:52.045 --> 00:17:52.855
You know that came up.

00:17:52.855 --> 00:18:02.380
So I want you to imagine this, okay, because this is starting, like you know, june the 4th or something like that technically June the 11th, but I started from June the 4th, since it was the next call.

00:18:02.380 --> 00:18:13.805
So I want to walk you through what we did, okay, and I want you to think about this and on this one, you can actually send me a DM and just say, hey, dr Rina, good job, you did a good job, okay, cause this is what I came up with.

00:18:13.805 --> 00:18:15.727
So for the first Wednesday, we're going to do what we do.

00:18:15.826 --> 00:18:17.568
We call the RevCon Now the RevCon.

00:18:17.568 --> 00:18:26.936
I developed that because I found, you know, doctors, we don't really like to talk about money, a whole lot and stuff like that.

00:18:26.936 --> 00:18:31.221
And so the RevCon is revenue conference, like think about that like RevCon, and in that we're like okay, this is the way it goes.

00:18:31.221 --> 00:18:32.722
It's a coaching session.

00:18:32.722 --> 00:18:33.604
Somebody raised their hand.

00:18:33.604 --> 00:18:43.858
They're like this is my name, this is a type of business I run and this is my revenue goal for this quarter of the year and this is my question, right?

00:18:43.858 --> 00:18:47.455
So it's literally like there's something getting in the way of your revenue.

00:18:47.455 --> 00:18:52.047
Let's have this conversation, let's get you the help that you need so you can go crush it.

00:18:52.047 --> 00:18:54.641
And I cannot tell you how wild those are.

00:18:54.641 --> 00:18:56.605
Like People come and do that the next week.

00:18:56.605 --> 00:18:59.501
They've hired who they need to hire, they de-hired who they need to hire.

00:18:59.501 --> 00:19:02.416
They've had $100,000 breakthroughs in their business.

00:19:02.416 --> 00:19:04.382
They've done all kinds of amazing things.

00:19:04.382 --> 00:19:08.363
So we call it RevCon and I always kind of expand it.

00:19:08.363 --> 00:19:13.119
So, yes, one person is asking the question, but everybody learns from that question, so it's really powerful.

00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:21.737
So we do that the first Wednesday of every month, regardless Anyway.

00:19:21.737 --> 00:19:23.305
So we have RevCon, so it's like real real-time coaching for real revenue wins.

00:19:23.305 --> 00:19:25.093
We troubleshoot, we tune up, we look for that revenue block, we get it out of the way.

00:19:25.093 --> 00:19:25.615
That's what we do.

00:19:26.218 --> 00:19:28.104
So June the 4th, revcon.

00:19:28.104 --> 00:19:31.776
June the 11th, champions Mindsets we do this the second Wednesday.

00:19:31.776 --> 00:19:34.061
These are the two that don't really go away.

00:19:34.061 --> 00:19:41.619
They're recurring themes because in the beginning I was really really big on mindset stuff and then people were like, oh, I don't need all those mindset stuff, I need tactics.

00:19:41.619 --> 00:19:44.938
And I'm really good at tactics and strategy, so I'm teaching strategy.

00:19:44.938 --> 00:19:48.657
I'm realizing if you don't have the mindset, you're not doing the strategy anyway.

00:19:48.657 --> 00:19:51.726
And so I was like great, I'm great at both, so we just put both.

00:19:51.726 --> 00:19:52.106
Okay.

00:19:56.994 --> 00:19:58.964
So champions mindsets the first one we're doing on June the 11th is selling with confidence.

00:19:58.964 --> 00:19:59.930
Okay, like, how do I sell with confidence?

00:19:59.930 --> 00:20:00.954
And everything is selling right.

00:20:00.954 --> 00:20:04.451
You sell team members to work with, you sell referral sources referring to you.

00:20:04.451 --> 00:20:09.567
You sell team members on coming to accept to you know, be an employee in your business, all of that.

00:20:09.567 --> 00:20:12.921
But how do you do that without the mind drama, right?

00:20:12.921 --> 00:20:14.344
Like I'm bothering people.

00:20:14.344 --> 00:20:17.942
Nobody really wants to work with me, blah, blah, blah, blah, all of those kinds of things.

00:20:17.942 --> 00:20:19.310
So we're going to deal with that, right.

00:20:19.310 --> 00:20:20.076
Why am I doing this?

00:20:20.076 --> 00:20:20.336
Again?

00:20:20.336 --> 00:20:21.542
Because I want them moving.

00:20:21.542 --> 00:20:21.844
Right.

00:20:21.844 --> 00:20:24.675
Like, so selling super important, I want them moving forward.

00:20:24.675 --> 00:20:25.057
Okay.

00:20:25.597 --> 00:20:30.635
Then, on the 18th is like, how to execute a profitable sales campaign with your team.

00:20:30.635 --> 00:20:31.837
Why did I put that there?

00:20:31.837 --> 00:20:43.347
Because, again, number of people who want to launch verticals, new clinics and all of those things, and I want to show them how to like, not just say, oh, we want to do this, and do it once or twice, like, how do I roll out a campaign for this?

00:20:43.347 --> 00:20:48.478
Right, like you say, okay, over the next 90 days, we want to bring X number of this new vertical that we're launching.

00:20:48.478 --> 00:20:50.940
How do you do that and how do you do it with your team?

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:52.621
Right, and we've done this many times.

00:20:52.621 --> 00:20:54.682
Some people are like, oh, I want to avoid the summer slump.

00:20:54.682 --> 00:20:58.685
Again, it is a sales campaign that you put in place to avoid that summer slump.

00:20:58.685 --> 00:21:01.607
So you see how I'm not making up content.

00:21:01.607 --> 00:21:04.329
I'm literally solving problems with content.

00:21:04.329 --> 00:21:07.231
Right, I'm solving problems with these live calls, okay.

00:21:12.095 --> 00:21:14.357
And then on the fourth Wednesday, we're going to do what I call tranquil, and it's self-care for high performers.

00:21:14.357 --> 00:21:16.019
And it's not about massages and yoga and all of those things.

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:26.954
It's about the real things that high-performing people running multi-seven-figure businesses do so that they can take care of themselves and be calm and enjoy the process.

00:21:26.954 --> 00:21:33.234
So, even though they have a lot happening in their business, they're still calm and they're enjoying it and enjoying their time with their family and all of that stuff.

00:21:33.234 --> 00:21:40.742
Because we don't know this stuff, we've been burnt out as employees to come be burnt out in our businesses.

00:21:40.742 --> 00:21:41.527
So that's a whole month of programming.

00:21:41.527 --> 00:21:42.833
But guess what happens to everyone who goes through that?

00:21:42.833 --> 00:21:44.258
They take this, they apply it in their business.

00:21:44.258 --> 00:21:45.842
It's significant change.

00:21:45.842 --> 00:21:47.006
Do you see what I'm saying?

00:21:47.006 --> 00:21:52.502
Like, even if they didn't have a proper plan and all of those things, like that's my job, right, they have a significant change, okay.

00:21:52.923 --> 00:21:53.944
So July again.

00:21:53.944 --> 00:21:55.887
The first Wednesday will be RevCon.

00:21:55.887 --> 00:21:58.457
The second Wednesday is Champions Mindset.

00:21:58.457 --> 00:22:09.223
Now we're talking about becoming the leader your rockstar team deserves, because a lot of times when you look at teams and you're like this team is out of whack, the first place to look at is the leader, not actually the team.

00:22:09.223 --> 00:22:10.467
Are you leading them?

00:22:10.467 --> 00:22:12.096
Are you calling them to hire?

00:22:12.096 --> 00:22:13.358
Are you casting vision?

00:22:13.358 --> 00:22:14.601
Are you holding them accountable?

00:22:14.601 --> 00:22:16.703
Do they even know how their role creates revenue?

00:22:16.703 --> 00:22:19.127
Do they know what it means to be winning your organization?

00:22:19.127 --> 00:22:27.184
And we shy away from so many of those things because sometimes we don't feel we don't feel we're worthy of rockstar team members, we don't feel that anybody will follow us, we feel we don't know what we're doing.

00:22:27.184 --> 00:22:28.296
So blah, blah, blah, blah blah.

00:22:28.296 --> 00:22:33.565
But we're going to get all those mindset things out of the way so that the people can show up as the leaders that they are.

00:22:33.765 --> 00:22:44.170
The third Wednesday the seven figure team blueprint right, and this comes up all the time the number one thing you can do after showing up as the leader of a rockstar team.

00:22:44.170 --> 00:22:47.904
The next most important thing you do is give your people clarity.

00:22:47.904 --> 00:22:49.642
This is what winning means.

00:22:49.642 --> 00:22:51.000
This is what your role is.

00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.001
This is how your role creates revenues.

00:22:53.001 --> 00:22:55.544
These are the KPIs you're going to be evaluated over.

00:22:55.544 --> 00:23:00.435
These are the.

00:23:00.435 --> 00:23:01.299
This is going to be our meeting cadence.

00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:03.851
All of those things right, because if you don't have the team that functions that way, you can't scale, you can't grow.

00:23:03.851 --> 00:23:05.036
What you have is a team that is a weight.

00:23:05.036 --> 00:23:14.126
So you carry the burdens you carry and then you carry the burden of their payroll and you carry the burden of improperly managing them and you're still doing all the work, right, okay?

00:23:14.126 --> 00:23:15.268
So we're going to do that.

00:23:15.268 --> 00:23:19.150
I mean that alone that's like fantastic, right, okay?

00:23:19.650 --> 00:23:33.238
And then the fourth Wednesday, they have the specialty mastermind, where they break out, like you know, it's breakout sessions based on the kind of business, and then you'll have some prompts, as you know, what to discuss there, and then they have, you know, the fifth one is laser coaching.

00:23:33.238 --> 00:23:38.528
We call them seven figure conversations and you know Q&A and stuff like that, which will be phenomenal, okay.

00:23:38.528 --> 00:23:41.161
Then August so you see how this is built out.

00:23:41.161 --> 00:23:51.105
Then, august, we have again beginning with the RevCon, and then the Champions Mindset the next Wednesday, and that is mastering difficult conversations that strengthen your team.

00:23:51.105 --> 00:23:54.676
So you have somebody that's underperforming how do you have that conversation, right?

00:23:54.676 --> 00:23:57.380
You have someone you need to de-hire how do you have that conversation?

00:23:57.380 --> 00:24:01.784
You have, like, all of those kinds of things you have to negotiate with the team member.

00:24:01.784 --> 00:24:02.724
How do you do that?

00:24:02.724 --> 00:24:05.607
And so we're going to work through all of that from a mindset perspective.

00:24:06.108 --> 00:24:12.895
And then the following Wednesday we're going to do hiring and onboarding Because, again, many mistakes.

00:24:12.895 --> 00:24:13.576
You have a terrible team member.

00:24:13.576 --> 00:24:15.240
A lot of times it could have been avoided in the hiring process.

00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:17.124
You have somebody who's underperforming.

00:24:17.124 --> 00:24:19.976
A lot of times they were not set up properly with the onboarding process.

00:24:19.976 --> 00:24:22.923
So these are two things when you put in place, your team gets so much better.

00:24:22.923 --> 00:24:28.547
And then we have a guest expert coming in to talk about AI powered team upgrades the following Wednesday.

00:24:28.586 --> 00:24:32.622
So do you see how this whole thing is created?

00:24:32.622 --> 00:24:42.875
And it's just designed to put the doctors in a position where this summer they will push their business Like, even if they only did 50% of this, but please do not, do not tell them.

00:24:42.875 --> 00:24:46.086
And if you're in the entrepreneur business school listening to this, I did not say this.

00:24:46.086 --> 00:24:49.905
Okay, but even if they only did 50% of it or 30% of it, guess what will happen.

00:24:49.905 --> 00:24:54.000
You know like they're going to make significant traction and they're going to get so much time back because, guess what?

00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:59.208
You see the heavy emphasis on team, because that's a significant part of how you get your time back.

00:24:59.208 --> 00:25:09.721
You see the episode on, or the live session on Tranquil, where you learn how to have a business that is doing the mostest and be cool and be at peace and be okay.

00:25:10.022 --> 00:25:18.106
So these are all the things that we're going to do, but it's all born out of how can I help my people win.

00:25:18.106 --> 00:25:21.752
So we look at ooh, like some of them may look at it ooh, this is genius, this is amazing.

00:25:21.752 --> 00:25:22.477
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:25:22.477 --> 00:25:24.650
But it's not that I came up with it.

00:25:24.650 --> 00:25:28.498
It's not that I was like ooh, what can we do to make you know the Ontario Business School?

00:25:28.498 --> 00:25:30.461
Exciting is how can we solve problems?

00:25:30.461 --> 00:25:34.384
I guess what is going to happen with all these doctors they're going to win, they're going to win.

00:25:34.384 --> 00:25:45.386
And they would have set the stage Like if they then put another 90 days of work in over the fall, oh my goodness, q4 and Q1 of next year will be like phenomenal, right, which is what I want for every single one of them.

00:25:45.494 --> 00:25:49.875
So the reason I shared this with you is because you can take this same process and go to your business.

00:25:49.875 --> 00:25:51.297
You may be thinking oh, I'm private practice.

00:25:51.297 --> 00:25:52.298
How does that apply to me?

00:25:52.298 --> 00:25:53.800
It's the same thing, right?

00:25:53.800 --> 00:25:58.828
So in the summer, when you think about it or it doesn't have to be the summer, like, regardless, what is the issue?

00:25:58.828 --> 00:26:04.756
They don't want to have long wait times, they don't want to wait forever for the forms that need to be filled, all these things, like.

00:26:04.836 --> 00:26:05.700
Just think about them.

00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:07.669
Like, how could I solve these things?

00:26:07.669 --> 00:26:09.255
Right, how can I solve these things?

00:26:09.255 --> 00:26:15.765
Or you see that they're having challenges with following up with the instructions you're giving them, whether that's some dietary stuff or sleep stuff and all of that.

00:26:15.765 --> 00:26:17.267
You're like how can I solve these things?

00:26:17.267 --> 00:26:21.624
You see, these questions, this level of thinking is where innovation comes from.

00:26:21.624 --> 00:26:28.065
That's where it comes from is from asking the right questions and with the right focus, which is your clients and your patients, right?

00:26:28.065 --> 00:26:29.086
So I want you to.

00:26:29.086 --> 00:26:38.970
You know, think about this, do a version in your business, right, do a version in your business and, you know, start making this something that you do periodically.

00:26:39.295 --> 00:26:40.942
The Entremet Business School is different every 90 days.

00:26:40.942 --> 00:26:45.603
Because we do this every 90 days, like, I'm always constantly asking this question how can I help?

00:26:45.603 --> 00:26:46.506
How can I help?

00:26:46.506 --> 00:26:47.086
How can I help?

00:26:47.086 --> 00:26:48.801
How can we switch this and all of that?

00:26:48.801 --> 00:26:50.259
So I want you to do that.

00:26:50.815 --> 00:27:13.862
And if you're not in the Ent business school and you've been thinking about it, there isn't a container like this right, there isn't a container where you can get the support that you need to build the business that you want to build, a place where the right vision will be in front of you, a place where the possibilities will be in front of you, a place where the programming is designed to help you win, not just in your business but in your life.

00:27:13.862 --> 00:27:18.590
There just isn't a place like it, where you have classmates like the ones you have, the EBS Commonwealth.

00:27:18.590 --> 00:27:22.464
I mean it's just unbelievable the quality of the people that are in the room.

00:27:22.464 --> 00:27:30.096
And so if you've been thinking about it, maybe this summer, maybe that's your big step right Entremdcom for such business and turn in application.

00:27:30.096 --> 00:27:39.009
Let's see if this is the best next step for you and we don't strong arm anybody, we don't do like high pressure sales tactics and if it's not the best fit for you, we'll tell you it's not.

00:27:39.009 --> 00:27:45.618
And we have done that and we continue to do that because we're not here.

00:27:45.638 --> 00:27:46.782
Our primary objective is not to make a buck.

00:27:46.782 --> 00:27:54.520
Our primary objective is to help physicians win, and help enough of them win so that the expectation and the new normal then the normal for the physician community changes.

00:27:54.520 --> 00:27:58.506
Okay, where we become a people who expect to have the five freedoms.

00:27:58.506 --> 00:28:07.819
We expect to practice medicine on terms, we expect to live life on our terms, we expect to have financial freedom, we expect to have time freedom and we expect to have the freedom to pursue our purposes.

00:28:07.819 --> 00:28:10.346
Okay, that's what every physician deserves, okay.

00:28:10.835 --> 00:28:22.688
So, regardless if you're in the business school or not, I hope that you take this on, run with it and make some changes in your business, and I also hope that you got the lesson of I don't disappear in the summer and come back in the fall.

00:28:22.688 --> 00:28:24.362
I wonder what happened to my business.

00:28:24.362 --> 00:28:27.224
Now, you know, it doesn't mean you spend all summer doing that.

00:28:27.224 --> 00:28:29.262
It doesn't mean you say no to every family event.

00:28:29.262 --> 00:28:36.568
It doesn't mean that but it does mean that you strategically take action on your business and so you have something to build on in the fall.

00:28:36.568 --> 00:28:44.208
Okay, as always, I am rooting for you, like, relentlessly, and I hope, like for the doctors in the Entree MB Business School.

00:28:44.208 --> 00:28:51.317
I hope for them that this will be a summer to remember, and this is what we said it's going to be a summer where we're going to have more profits, stronger teams and real freedom.

00:28:51.317 --> 00:28:53.520
I hope that's your experience as well.

00:28:53.520 --> 00:28:59.631
Okay, so share this with another doc in your world, and I'll see you on the next episode of the Entrepreneur Podcast.
