Starting a business does NOT make you an entrepreneur. 

It makes you a business owner, but not an entrepreneur. The difference? 

Mindset and approach. Entrepreneurs are the visionaries. They drive disruption, challenge the status quo, and constantly push boundaries. Without this mindset, no strategy or tactic will take you to the next level. 

This is the hardest (and most important) lesson I learned in the 15 years since I started my first business. Lucky for you, you don’t have to make the same mistakes. In this episode, I’ll share the mindset shift that separates true entrepreneurs from business owners—so you can fast-track your growth and avoid years of limiting beliefs.

Tune in! 

Key Takeaways: 

  • 00:00 Intro 
  • 01:36 Becoming 
  • 04:21 Overcoming limiting beliefs 
  • 07:37 6 transformations I’ve experienced 
  • 14:26 Your role for the next 365 days

00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:02.990
Starting a business does not make you an entrepreneur.

00:00:02.990 --> 00:00:03.822
It never has.

00:00:03.822 --> 00:00:04.506
It never will.

00:00:04.506 --> 00:00:11.868
Getting a logo, going to LegalZoom to get your thing registered, signing a lease and opening a shop does not make you an entrepreneur.

00:00:11.868 --> 00:00:13.244
How do entrepreneurs think?

00:00:13.244 --> 00:00:14.208
How do they reason?

00:00:14.208 --> 00:00:15.505
How do they vision cast?

00:00:15.505 --> 00:00:16.327
How do they set goals?

00:00:16.327 --> 00:00:17.986
That's what makes you an entrepreneur.

00:00:17.986 --> 00:00:20.204
Starting a business does not make you an entrepreneur.

00:00:20.204 --> 00:00:21.205
It makes you a business owner.

00:00:21.205 --> 00:00:25.112
You've got to become an entrepreneur, hi docs.

00:00:30.100 --> 00:00:36.966
Welcome to the EntreMD podcast, where it's all about helping amazing physicians just like you embrace entrepreneurship so you can have the freedom to live life and practice medicine on your terms.

00:00:36.966 --> 00:00:38.805
I'm your host, dr Imna.

00:00:38.805 --> 00:00:51.652
It took me almost 15 years as an entrepreneur to learn what I'm about to show you, but I'm excited I get to share it with you because you get to shortcut your process.

00:00:51.652 --> 00:01:02.009
Now, the thing I'm about to tell you about is super simple, but the deal is that it is more valuable than what we consider as investments.

00:01:02.009 --> 00:01:04.828
Right, like, the return on investment on this is more than whatever you can get from the on.

00:01:04.828 --> 00:01:07.040
Investment on this is more than whatever you can get from the stock market.

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.263
It's more than whatever you can get if you're the person who does the set it and forget it.

00:01:11.263 --> 00:01:17.608
Version of passive investing more than what you can get in real estate, more than what you can get on a really powerful business.

00:01:17.608 --> 00:01:20.822
And as I sat and thought about it, I just turned 46.

00:01:20.822 --> 00:01:36.573
And so, on my birthday, I was reflecting and as I sat and thought about it, I was like, oh, my word, like I've kind of known this was the key, but I know it in a way that I've never known and for the next 365 days, I'm going all in on this, even in an even bigger way.

00:01:36.573 --> 00:01:42.888
Okay, so what is the thing that has made the biggest difference for me as an entrepreneur?

00:01:42.888 --> 00:01:47.236
It is what I like to call becoming becoming Okay.

00:01:47.236 --> 00:01:50.040
Now, when I started me as an entrepreneur, it is what I like to call becoming Becoming Okay.

00:01:50.060 --> 00:01:52.305
Now, when I started off as an entrepreneur, I thought I was who I was.

00:01:52.305 --> 00:01:53.908
I was not stuck.

00:01:53.908 --> 00:01:58.001
I didn't even feel I was stuck because I didn't know there was an option to be different, but I was static.

00:01:58.001 --> 00:02:00.025
I was static, I was who I was.

00:02:00.025 --> 00:02:06.314
I could try to do things and I could try to have things and try to do all that stuff, but if I was shy, I was shy.

00:02:06.314 --> 00:02:11.051
If I was the kind of person that didn't fully believe that I could be wealthy, then that's just who I was.

00:02:11.051 --> 00:02:18.967
If I didn't believe that I could have a great A-team, that I was worthy of a great A-team, that's just what it was, and I would do what I needed to do to overcome that.

00:02:18.967 --> 00:02:26.420
But I was who I was One who I was.

00:02:26.441 --> 00:02:28.145
One of the most fluid things in your life is you.

00:02:28.145 --> 00:02:32.094
One of the things that can change the most in your life is you, and the way it works is when you change.

00:02:32.094 --> 00:02:34.461
Everything else around changes.

00:02:34.461 --> 00:02:43.992
The things you're able to do are different, the things you're able to envision are different, the actions you're able to take are different, the things you can have are different.

00:02:43.992 --> 00:02:53.324
But it all starts with you changing, and so, for instance, when I set new revenue goals now, I set the goal and then I say who must I become?

00:02:53.324 --> 00:02:57.233
Who must I become to be the person who can crush this goal?

00:02:57.233 --> 00:03:01.054
Who must I become to be the kind of person who can have this team?

00:03:01.054 --> 00:03:02.239
Who must I become?

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:07.689
Because this is the deal If you have not taken the journey inside, you can't take the journey outside.

00:03:08.110 --> 00:03:12.384
If you don't believe it inside, you're not going to show up in a way consistent with that.

00:03:12.384 --> 00:03:16.701
Even if you wrote it on paper, even if you wrote it on, you put it on a vision board.

00:03:16.701 --> 00:03:26.400
Until you change, the results you get cannot change, and we know this, right.

00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:39.650
I'm sure you've had times where you had a goal, you wrote it out, but you hadn't gone through the evolution required for it, and so you sabotage yourself time after time, even though you're saying, oh, I want to do this, I want to become this, I want to have this, but you can't pull it off.

00:03:39.850 --> 00:03:48.713
When I work with doctors, when I work with the doctors in the untrained business school, one of the biggest things I work on, whether they know it or not, is the process of them becoming.

00:03:48.713 --> 00:03:52.848
Is the process of them being the kind of people who can think bigger.

00:03:52.848 --> 00:03:57.209
Being the kind of people who expect the great results.

00:03:57.209 --> 00:04:00.439
Being the kind of people who can set and accomplish goals.

00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.561
Being the kind of people who can do hard things.

00:04:02.561 --> 00:04:05.804
Being the kind of people who can collaborate with people instead of competing.

00:04:05.804 --> 00:04:11.987
Being the kind of people who are okay, making money, are okay, living life on their terms.

00:04:11.987 --> 00:04:21.754
Okay, right, it's arguably the hardest work there is, but the return on investment of it is so ridiculous, so ridiculous.

00:04:22.095 --> 00:04:33.223
When I started my first business, which was my private practice, almost 15 years ago, I did not think the kinds of patients I wanted would come to me.

00:04:33.223 --> 00:04:34.305
I did not believe that I could hire an A-team.

00:04:34.305 --> 00:04:36.932
I mean, in the beginning I hired one person which was me, my alter ego.

00:04:36.932 --> 00:04:38.041
Her name was Ella.

00:04:38.041 --> 00:04:43.343
I would answer my own phones, I would do my own billing, I would work up my own patients, I would give my own vaccines.

00:04:43.343 --> 00:04:47.391
It wasn't because I wanted to, I just didn't like who would follow me.

00:04:47.391 --> 00:04:48.533
I mean, look at my practice.

00:04:48.533 --> 00:04:50.084
Like what am I even doing, right?

00:04:50.084 --> 00:04:51.288
I didn't believe that.

00:04:51.288 --> 00:04:54.661
I didn't believe that I could build a practice that would work without me.

00:04:54.661 --> 00:04:58.706
I didn't believe I would have the practice that would have over 500 five-star reviews.

00:04:58.706 --> 00:05:01.589
I didn't believe that I could do any of those things.

00:05:01.589 --> 00:05:02.711
I just didn't.

00:05:02.711 --> 00:05:10.437
I didn't, and because I couldn't see it, I kept sabotaging until I don't know that I intentionally learned this.

00:05:10.437 --> 00:05:12.101
I just started doing the things.

00:05:12.101 --> 00:05:20.206
But now, when I look back, I look back at myself, I look back at my clients I realize this is the most important work.

00:05:20.206 --> 00:05:21.108
Now don't get me wrong.

00:05:21.108 --> 00:05:22.661
You still have to do all these things.

00:05:22.721 --> 00:05:24.884
But the first part is an internal journey.

00:05:24.884 --> 00:05:32.084
I was sitting with a doc at a conference in Arizona not too long ago and she made a statement that I was like.

00:05:32.084 --> 00:05:35.762
She gets it, like many people don't get it in the beginning, and that's okay.

00:05:35.762 --> 00:05:38.269
I don't put it in front of them because I'm like ultimately you will.

00:05:38.269 --> 00:05:40.422
And she says you know what you know.

00:05:40.422 --> 00:05:47.509
Now I've started my private practice and things are looking up and I'm getting new patients and this is just unbelievable.

00:05:47.870 --> 00:05:52.154
I started a practice before I joined the Entremet Business School and it failed and I had to shut it down.

00:05:52.154 --> 00:05:53.476
But this is completely different.

00:05:53.476 --> 00:06:12.867
It's really all about becoming the kind of person getting rid of all these mindsets that kept me stuck, getting rid of all of those things, and becoming the kind of person who could now do what I'm doing.

00:06:12.867 --> 00:06:16.389
And I smiled because yes, of course you're going to get wins.

00:06:16.389 --> 00:06:18.307
I mean, there are people who get wins from day one.

00:06:18.307 --> 00:06:25.785
There's a lady, a doc, who came into the school in 30 days, in six weeks, things she had been planning to do for years.

00:06:25.785 --> 00:06:30.769
She's doing them and she's like okay, I don't know what's happening here in this EBS, but who am I?

00:06:30.769 --> 00:06:32.161
And I'm like, yeah, who are you?

00:06:32.161 --> 00:06:38.526
Right, so it doesn't mean you won't experience those, but the biggest thing you walk away with is who you've become.

00:06:39.507 --> 00:06:48.146
I have people in the school who will say, you know, I went through this challenge, but you know I'm EBS, we can do hard things right, it's all of those things.

00:06:48.146 --> 00:07:00.101
That's what took me from that person who couldn't even hire somebody to this other person who now I run five organizations, excluding the church I co-pastor with my husband.

00:07:00.101 --> 00:07:09.675
We run five organizations in a position where I have seven figure business business, multiple, seven-figure, multiple, like all kinds of different phases in different industries.

00:07:09.675 --> 00:07:15.492
I've become this kind of person who can help other people build six, seven and multiple seven-figure businesses.

00:07:15.492 --> 00:07:21.153
I've become this kind of person who can disrupt a whole industry, a whole community, the physician community.

00:07:21.153 --> 00:07:26.267
I've become this kind of person and what made this possible, I am telling you, is becoming Now.

00:07:26.528 --> 00:07:36.706
You listen to the podcast so you know I'm big on strategy, I'm big on coming up with solutions and all of those things, so I'm not negating that, but the foundation of all of that is becoming.

00:07:36.706 --> 00:07:41.184
So let me talk about some transformations I've experienced to become.

00:07:41.184 --> 00:07:48.108
And as you listen to this or as you watch this, depending on where you're joining us I want you to think about what that would mean for you.

00:07:48.108 --> 00:07:51.144
What would that mean for you if this was your reality?

00:07:51.144 --> 00:07:56.543
Okay, so one is that I've become the kind of person who can see a vision of a preferred future.

00:07:56.543 --> 00:08:01.401
I don't see my current circumstance as permanent in any kind of way.

00:08:01.401 --> 00:08:06.963
Right, like I have this vision, like this is where we're going, this is who we can become, and all of those things.

00:08:06.963 --> 00:08:17.302
So I'm not thrown off by what is happening, like now or today, because I'm like it's subject to change and I know what to do to change it and I can see that.

00:08:17.302 --> 00:08:29.327
And also I'm not like stuck in the present and feel the permanency of the presence or victim mentality, or it's just the way it is, or it's so unfair and nobody's helping me, like I don't do it.

00:08:29.327 --> 00:08:32.323
I've become this person who's like nah, we can change that Now.

00:08:32.323 --> 00:08:34.089
The question is now, how do we change that?

00:08:34.089 --> 00:08:35.681
But we can change this, right.

00:08:35.681 --> 00:08:45.863
That's why, when I see all the things happening in the physician community, I'm like, shoot, like we can change that.

00:08:45.863 --> 00:08:48.855
And for me to see for myself is something for me to see my clients see the doctors in the entrepreneur business school doing the same thing.

00:08:48.855 --> 00:08:49.136
It is so wild.

00:08:49.158 --> 00:08:49.620
This was Dr Erica Bove.

00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:53.190
We interviewed her when we were doing one of our workshops and she made this statement.

00:08:53.190 --> 00:08:56.868
She said there are a lot of changes coming down the line in my hospital.

00:08:56.868 --> 00:09:03.287
I think she said or so, and she's like but you know, it will be fine, I know what to do, there's not going to be a problem, I'll be fine.

00:09:03.287 --> 00:09:06.591
Do you see the level of certainty in uncertainty?

00:09:06.591 --> 00:09:09.115
We don't even know what the changes are and all that stuff.

00:09:09.115 --> 00:09:11.827
But we'll be fine, we know what to do, we know what levers to pull.

00:09:11.827 --> 00:09:15.025
That's fine, we're just going to walk through it, okay.

00:09:15.025 --> 00:09:16.008
So that's the first thing.

00:09:16.048 --> 00:09:20.063
Second thing is I've become this kind of person who can set goals, who can develop the strategy and the strategy to accomplish them.

00:09:20.063 --> 00:09:23.107
Develop the strategy and the strategy to accomplish them, like.

00:09:23.107 --> 00:09:44.533
So I have the big vision, but I'm like okay, the next 90 days, this is where I'm going to go in the next six months, this is where I'm going to be in the next year, this is where I'm going to be and this is how I'm going to pull it off and all of those things, and my mind just works that way, like you know, like yeah, so I'm at the point is like, yeah, every day is a progress day.

00:09:44.533 --> 00:09:48.126
That's the way I think, right, and it's just nuts to be that.

00:09:48.126 --> 00:09:51.609
So the option of me being the same 30 days, 90 days, no, that doesn't happen.

00:09:51.609 --> 00:09:58.067
We're moving forward, we're becoming and we're accomplishing new things and we're shattering more glass ceilings and we're doing all of that right, okay.

00:09:58.460 --> 00:10:23.677
Third thing I and right Now we have touched a lot of people, like through the Entremdi Business School, through our workshops, through our email list, through our social media, through this podcast, through our YouTube channel, through the people we've coached, one-on-one for the other groups we've gone to coach into.

00:10:23.677 --> 00:10:42.484
So we have touched a lot of docs, but I'm not stopping until and I'm not stopping until I see that the new norm for physicians is we have five freedoms, okay, we have the freedom to practice medicine on our terms, we have the freedom to live life on our terms, we have time freedom, we have financial freedom and we have the freedom to pursue purpose.

00:10:42.484 --> 00:10:43.807
Like, why am I here?

00:10:43.807 --> 00:10:45.317
Why am I here on God's green earth?

00:10:45.317 --> 00:10:46.418
Like, why do I think I'm here.

00:10:46.418 --> 00:10:51.225
I have the freedom to chase that down, explore it and become and pull it off and do it.

00:10:51.225 --> 00:10:53.408
So when I die, happy like I'm done.

00:10:53.928 --> 00:10:54.990
I did what I came to do.

00:10:54.990 --> 00:10:55.711
I'm out.

00:10:55.711 --> 00:10:59.302
Right, I have been executing for the last six years.

00:10:59.302 --> 00:11:05.346
The further we go in that journey, the more I'm able to accomplish in the same amount in the same span of time.

00:11:05.346 --> 00:11:09.565
Right, but I become this person like I don't get discouraged because this happened.

00:11:09.565 --> 00:11:14.197
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to put up a superwoman persona.

00:11:14.197 --> 00:11:18.761
I get the invitation to be discouraged all the time, every single day, even this morning.

00:11:18.761 --> 00:11:22.806
Okay, I get the invitation, but I just choose not to live there.

00:11:22.806 --> 00:11:24.687
Right, I choose not to live there.

00:11:24.687 --> 00:11:27.450
So I do what I must, whatever it requires, to get out of that.

00:11:27.450 --> 00:11:28.029
I do it.

00:11:28.029 --> 00:11:28.410
Right.

00:11:28.410 --> 00:11:34.437
But I've become this person who execute on tail and who execute on till.

00:11:34.457 --> 00:11:36.063
You may have heard people very successful people say this all the time.

00:11:36.063 --> 00:11:37.350
I decided I'm going to start YouTube and stuff like that.

00:11:37.350 --> 00:11:39.778
I'm going to produce two videos a week for 10 years.

00:11:39.778 --> 00:11:40.580
See how it plays out.

00:11:40.580 --> 00:11:41.682
That's the way they think.

00:11:41.682 --> 00:11:46.302
Right, it's not like oh, you know, I did one post on social media and nobody liked it.

00:11:46.302 --> 00:11:47.986
Like they don't do that.

00:11:47.986 --> 00:11:52.922
They don't do that, okay, okay, number four no longer ruled by fear.

00:11:52.922 --> 00:11:57.696
Fear ruled my life for many, many, many, many years.

00:11:57.696 --> 00:11:59.600
I think it was in 2021.

00:12:00.022 --> 00:12:01.164
I came to this conclusion.

00:12:01.164 --> 00:12:01.927
I was like you know what?

00:12:01.927 --> 00:12:17.522
I have been afraid my entire life and I am now at a point where I'm a physician, I'm an attending physician, I run my own practice, I'm doing really well, I'm helping doctors and entree MD, and the fear is still there.

00:12:17.522 --> 00:12:22.765
And so if I've accomplished all these things and the fear is still there, then it means that the fear is not going anywhere.

00:12:22.765 --> 00:12:27.835
And since it's not going to go anywhere, then I might as well just push fear out of the driver's seat.

00:12:27.835 --> 00:12:33.364
You don't get to vote, you don't get to be in the room where I make decisions, so stay in the passenger seat.

00:12:33.364 --> 00:12:34.085
I told this to someone.

00:12:34.085 --> 00:12:35.748
They said no, we need to just put them in the trunk.

00:12:35.748 --> 00:12:39.681
Okay, I'm like, since you won't stop talking, stay there, but you don't get to vote.

00:12:39.681 --> 00:12:45.259
I am going to do what I want to do, what I set out to do, and I'm not going to stop because you showed up Right.

00:12:45.259 --> 00:12:50.024
So I become this person where I will feel fear and I will keep going forward.

00:12:50.024 --> 00:12:53.950
I'm not going to stop, right, I'm not going to stop, okay.

00:12:54.110 --> 00:13:11.355
Number five I've become this person that I know I can live a life of very profound impact, like my big task, like when it comes to Entree MD, for instance, my big task is to help a hundred thousand doctors build profitable businesses so they have the freedom to live life and practice medicine on their terms.

00:13:11.355 --> 00:13:12.618
Why am I doing that?

00:13:12.618 --> 00:13:20.357
I'm doing that because I know, if I can touch a hundred thousand people, that the whole physician community, all 1 million, will be turned right side up.

00:13:20.357 --> 00:13:24.248
And I'm like, yeah, disrupt a whole community of a million people.

00:13:24.248 --> 00:13:31.378
Yeah, like you know, that's what we do any regular Monday morning, right, but I become that kind of person, right.

00:13:31.378 --> 00:13:37.229
When I started I was like, yeah, let's give it our best shot, but now I'm like, no, we're going to, we're going to get this done, right, okay.

00:13:37.774 --> 00:13:46.839
The sixth thing is that I become this person who moved forward in the face of challenges and you know, again, I love to see, I'd love to see my clients do the same thing, right.

00:13:46.839 --> 00:13:48.801
Like, yes, there are challenges.

00:13:48.801 --> 00:14:06.423
People seem to be like you're always so happy, you're always so full of joy and all of that, and it's not because I don't have challenges, it's because I don't let the challenges stop me, it's because I recognize the challenges is part of the journey, and the people who are successful are not successful because they don't have challenges.

00:14:06.423 --> 00:14:08.211
They're successful because they've learned to move forward in the face of challenges.

00:14:08.211 --> 00:14:08.815
I have become that person.

00:14:08.815 --> 00:14:28.730
As I think about it, I'm like, so, so grateful, and I'm like if having these like I talked about six different things if having these six things has created the impacts that I've had, what if I spent the next 365 going all in on becoming like, all in right, okay, so what is your role?

00:14:28.730 --> 00:14:30.157
What is my role in becoming like?

00:14:30.157 --> 00:14:32.802
What am I going to focus for the next 365 days?

00:14:32.802 --> 00:14:34.447
What would I invite you to focus on?

00:14:34.447 --> 00:14:39.077
And it's more things, but I'll give you three.

00:14:39.097 --> 00:14:40.260
And the first thing is you've got to change your input.

00:14:40.260 --> 00:14:47.645
It's said that you'll become like five years from now, you'll be the same, except you only experience transformation by the people you meet and the books you read.

00:14:47.645 --> 00:14:49.317
Right, you change your input.

00:14:49.317 --> 00:14:58.101
If you are a physician, who you're in all the Facebook groups that are full of woe and gloom and doom and victim plane and all of those things.

00:14:58.101 --> 00:15:00.147
You will be like that.

00:15:00.147 --> 00:15:03.485
You cannot escape the impact of your environment.

00:15:03.485 --> 00:15:08.871
Right, if you are reading, but what you're reading is comments of Facebook.

00:15:08.871 --> 00:15:11.274
But you're not reading books about entrepreneurship.

00:15:11.274 --> 00:15:14.961
You're not reading books about autobiographies of people who are winning.

00:15:14.961 --> 00:15:16.565
You're not doing any of those things.

00:15:16.565 --> 00:15:18.008
You will stay the same.

00:15:18.008 --> 00:15:19.177
You will not become.

00:15:19.518 --> 00:15:22.730
The EntreMD Business School is like we do a lot of stuff right.

00:15:22.730 --> 00:15:27.807
So they have Wednesday sessions, we have monthly challenges, we have a private Facebook community and all of that.

00:15:27.807 --> 00:15:32.225
And they read a book a month, every single month, a curated book.

00:15:32.225 --> 00:15:33.368
I'm searching what are the themes?

00:15:33.368 --> 00:15:34.489
What are people struggling with?

00:15:34.489 --> 00:15:38.431
What is a picture they can't see, what is a preferred future they need to be able to envision?

00:15:38.431 --> 00:15:39.772
And I pick a book of the month.

00:15:39.772 --> 00:15:40.851
I'm like okay, this is the book.

00:15:40.851 --> 00:15:42.013
Why am I doing that?

00:15:42.013 --> 00:16:00.224
I'm like because, beyond all the things that I can do, if I can introduce them to these ways of thinking, these ways of acting, these pictures of what is possible, if I can do that, then they're evolving even faster, so they can implement the strategies even faster, they can take the action even faster.

00:16:00.224 --> 00:16:01.547
So that's something I do with them.

00:16:01.547 --> 00:16:03.181
I have them read books, right?

00:16:03.181 --> 00:16:08.077
So their books, their podcasts and I'm not talking about creating confusion, right?

00:16:08.077 --> 00:16:10.163
I'm talking about being very strategic.

00:16:10.163 --> 00:16:16.385
This is who I want to become and, because this is who I want to become, this is the information I need to put in front of myself, right?

00:16:16.426 --> 00:16:22.616
So, for instance, you're listening to this podcast or you're watching, or whichever we have over at the time of this recording.

00:16:22.616 --> 00:16:24.542
We have over 460 episodes.

00:16:24.542 --> 00:16:26.787
You want to make this part of your routine.

00:16:26.787 --> 00:16:33.058
The doctors in the Entremet Business Schools who I hang out with like technically every day, right, they listen to the podcast.

00:16:33.058 --> 00:16:34.278
I was just talking to two of them.

00:16:34.278 --> 00:16:37.100
They came down to Atlanta for a conference and so we got to do breakfast.

00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:39.522
I'm Dr Rachel Rubin and Dr Sadaf Lodi.

00:16:39.522 --> 00:16:48.268
Like big shout out to both of you, and it was so impressive to me and interesting to me that they would say, oh, you know, like man, I love listening to the podcast.

00:16:48.268 --> 00:16:51.870
These are people who get me all the time Like I love listening to the podcast and all of that.

00:16:51.870 --> 00:16:54.871
Sometimes I'm like, oh, my goodness, I have no new episodes to listen to.

00:16:54.871 --> 00:16:57.373
So they go back to old episodes and they're listening again.

00:17:03.315 --> 00:17:03.957
What level of humility is that?

00:17:03.957 --> 00:17:04.741
What level of a growth mindset is that?

00:17:04.741 --> 00:17:16.141
And they're feasting, and they're feasting, and they're feasting and because of that, you can see the ripple effect, because they're people, whether they know it or not, they are aggressively evolving, aggressively becoming and that's what it takes, right.

00:17:16.141 --> 00:17:17.761
Okay, so you got to change your input.

00:17:17.761 --> 00:17:20.064
You got to feed yourself the right diet.

00:17:20.064 --> 00:17:30.009
The version of you you 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 has a diet, and that diet is the information that it needs, right To function.

00:17:30.009 --> 00:17:31.770
Okay, so this podcast is one.

00:17:32.071 --> 00:17:39.699
We've written a number of books the untramed method, the visibility formula, the profitable private practice playbook.

00:17:39.699 --> 00:17:40.582
You want to be there.

00:17:40.582 --> 00:17:41.182
You want to change that input.

00:17:41.182 --> 00:17:51.184
We have, you know, like the EntreeMD Facebook community where you can have those kinds of conversations, see vision boards If you've been thinking about the EntreeMD business school, oh, my goodness, right, like that's, like evolution on on.

00:17:51.184 --> 00:17:58.509
You know, like evolution on crack, if you will, is very close to the input.

00:17:58.648 --> 00:17:59.751
But you got to change the circle.

00:17:59.751 --> 00:18:06.826
You will be like the people you hang out with the most at the end, and this is not a sentimental thing, this is not an emotional thing, this is not.

00:18:06.826 --> 00:18:07.849
Oh, I'm up in my feelings.

00:18:07.849 --> 00:18:09.776
Your feelings don't count in this particular thing.

00:18:09.776 --> 00:18:22.192
You will become like the people you spend the most time with, and so one of the reasons why the doctors in the Entree MD Business School experience radical change the reason why they do that is because they're in a community of people who are experiencing radical change.

00:18:22.192 --> 00:18:41.326
People who are reading the books, people who are in the monthly challenges, people who are showing up every Wednesday and are changing, people who are daring their fears and doing things and creating massive results boards.

00:18:41.326 --> 00:18:44.942
In the Entree Empty Business School, their fellow students have their vision boards because they're like oh my goodness, you did what to your YouTube channel?

00:18:44.942 --> 00:18:47.028
Oh my goodness, you made a million in a quarter.

00:18:47.028 --> 00:18:54.393
Oh my goodness, you just joined the school 30 days ago and you've already hired a person and increased your revenue by 20%.

00:18:54.393 --> 00:18:57.699
Like, oh my goodness, they get to see that.

00:18:57.699 --> 00:18:58.425
Why?

00:18:58.425 --> 00:19:00.031
Because of their circle.

00:19:00.654 --> 00:19:04.347
Now, some of you may say no, dr Una, the entrepreneur business school is not for me.

00:19:04.347 --> 00:19:05.070
That's not the point.

00:19:05.070 --> 00:19:05.813
Like for me.

00:19:05.813 --> 00:19:26.310
I'll always talk about it because in my mind and from my research, this is the best container for physician entrepreneurs, right, okay, so, but even if you're not going to come to school, look at your circle and go like, okay, if I'm going to become me 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, what kind of people must I surround myself with?

00:19:26.310 --> 00:19:26.791
And build that?

00:19:26.791 --> 00:19:27.153
Okay, build that.

00:19:27.153 --> 00:19:30.878
You have to have that If you want to evolve quickly.

00:19:30.878 --> 00:19:34.394
You must change your input, you must change your inner circle, okay.

00:19:34.394 --> 00:19:37.768
And the third thing you must do is build a system of accountability.

00:19:38.107 --> 00:19:41.773
So people say this to me oh, dr Una, you're always motivated and all that stuff.

00:19:41.773 --> 00:19:44.096
That is one of the biggest lies ever.

00:19:44.096 --> 00:19:45.138
I'm not always motivated.

00:19:45.138 --> 00:19:46.540
I'm not always like me.

00:19:46.540 --> 00:19:49.622
Like many people, I wake up and, like man, I don't want to record a video today.

00:19:49.622 --> 00:19:50.404
I don't want to do this.

00:19:50.404 --> 00:19:57.212
You know, like my team just you know made fun of me on Instagram recently because they did behind the scenes footage of me fussing at them.

00:19:57.212 --> 00:19:59.335
Because they're like Dr Una, you need to make more videos.

00:19:59.335 --> 00:20:03.038
I'm making faces and doing all the things, and they posted it on social media.

00:20:03.038 --> 00:20:06.467
They're like, yeah, there goes, Dr Una, but I'm not always motivated.

00:20:06.667 --> 00:20:18.326
I will tell you, though, I always get motivated, because one is that when you have the right input and the right circle, it puts you in a position where you function at a higher capacity.

00:20:18.326 --> 00:20:26.151
Because you're like, oh my goodness, I'm not going to be the only one who's not doing this positive at a higher capacity.

00:20:26.151 --> 00:20:28.451
Because you're like, oh my goodness, like I'm not going to be the only one who's not doing this Positive peer pressure, right.

00:20:28.451 --> 00:20:29.198
And then the second thing is you have people who hold you accountable.

00:20:29.198 --> 00:20:29.440
Like on that day, my team held me accountable.

00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:30.355
I'm like man, I don't want to do any more videos.

00:20:30.355 --> 00:20:32.159
I'm like, dr Una, we have a few more I want you to do.

00:20:41.442 --> 00:20:47.002
I ended up doing 25 videos in less than two hours, but I had my team and they had questions and prompts and this and that.

00:20:47.002 --> 00:20:48.923
So, like, let's go, dr Una, let's go, let's go, let's go.

00:20:48.923 --> 00:20:49.685
That's the way it is.

00:20:49.685 --> 00:20:53.810
And so in the Entremdi Business School right, this is the structure Makita just laughs at me.

00:20:53.810 --> 00:21:04.511
She's like whatever, dr Una, I said, I think we just did our best session.

00:21:04.511 --> 00:21:05.816
I say that every Wednesday.

00:21:06.807 --> 00:21:10.396
So we did a session on Dream 100 Mastery.

00:21:10.396 --> 00:21:12.993
It's like how to build this million dollar referral base.

00:21:12.993 --> 00:21:14.932
It was so good.

00:21:14.932 --> 00:21:17.211
Okay, so I do mentorship stuff, like that.

00:21:17.211 --> 00:21:20.111
So that's the teaching portion, that's your input, right.

00:21:20.111 --> 00:21:25.759
Like, like that, so that's the teaching portion that's your input, right, so that right there, and the book and all of those things, that's all that.

00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:31.737
And then we created a community because I know if they can get this inner circle, you don't even have to curate your inner circle in the business.

00:21:31.737 --> 00:21:37.990
You come in, boom, it's there, the circle is there, and so there's so many opportunities to interact with the circle, right, and so it's there.

00:21:37.990 --> 00:22:03.545
And then the third is the accountability no-transcript.

00:22:03.545 --> 00:22:04.929
And I haven't hit a million.

00:22:05.229 --> 00:22:07.414
The first thing to change is not your strategy.

00:22:07.414 --> 00:22:09.146
The first thing to change is you.

00:22:09.146 --> 00:22:11.472
What do you think about making a million?

00:22:11.472 --> 00:22:14.627
What do you think about leading the kind of team that will make you a million?

00:22:14.627 --> 00:22:18.307
What do you think about serving the caliber of clients who will take to get you to a million?

00:22:18.307 --> 00:22:19.288
What are all those things?

00:22:19.288 --> 00:22:28.573
Because everywhere you have a mindset virus, everywhere you believe you can't do it, and all of those things you'll find in those areas you will not show up the way you need to show up to crush that.

00:22:28.573 --> 00:22:30.426
The first part is your evolution.

00:22:30.426 --> 00:22:36.847
So people ask me this all the time or they'll tell this to me all the time Like, no, I can't join the business school yet because my business.

00:22:36.847 --> 00:22:41.932
I just launched it, I haven't even started making any money, and I want the business to pay for the business score, and which is fine.

00:22:41.932 --> 00:22:43.134
Like you can do it in any way.

00:22:43.134 --> 00:22:45.576
This is not judgment, but I just want to tell you how I think about that.

00:22:45.817 --> 00:22:48.500
Starting a business does not make you an entrepreneur.

00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:50.001
It never has, it never will.

00:22:50.001 --> 00:22:58.111
Getting a logo, going to LegalZoom to get your thing registered, signing a lease and opening a shop does not make you an entrepreneur.

00:22:58.111 --> 00:23:01.297
It makes you you who now owns a business.

00:23:01.297 --> 00:23:02.700
But you're not an entrepreneur.

00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:08.336
To become an entrepreneur, you need to become an entrepreneur, right, you must become.

00:23:08.577 --> 00:23:09.707
How do entrepreneurs think?

00:23:09.707 --> 00:23:10.690
How do they reason?

00:23:10.690 --> 00:23:11.932
How do they vision cast?

00:23:11.932 --> 00:23:13.195
How do they set goals?

00:23:13.195 --> 00:23:13.905
What do they think?

00:23:13.905 --> 00:23:15.830
That's what makes you an entrepreneur.

00:23:15.830 --> 00:23:17.474
How do they manage their time?

00:23:17.474 --> 00:23:18.645
How do they delegate?

00:23:18.645 --> 00:23:19.969
How do they do all of those things?

00:23:19.969 --> 00:23:21.171
How do they operate?

00:23:21.813 --> 00:23:23.977
Starting a business does not make you an entrepreneur.

00:23:23.977 --> 00:23:24.979
It makes you a business owner.

00:23:24.979 --> 00:23:26.628
But what will make you an entrepreneur?

00:23:26.628 --> 00:23:31.992
Who will be savvy, who will win, who will have a lot of impact, who will generate time freedom and financial freedom?

00:23:31.992 --> 00:23:32.875
What will make you do that?

00:23:32.875 --> 00:23:34.548
You got to become an entrepreneur.

00:23:34.750 --> 00:23:37.576
So if I say, ah, you know, I want to take Entremd to 10 million.

00:23:37.576 --> 00:23:43.247
The first thing is not what's the strategy.

00:23:43.247 --> 00:23:44.951
The first thing is who must I become to build a $10 million business?

00:23:44.951 --> 00:23:45.992
That's the very first thing.

00:23:45.992 --> 00:23:50.487
So what do I want you to do for the next 365?

00:23:50.487 --> 00:23:53.353
I'm going all in, all the way, all in.

00:23:53.353 --> 00:24:00.353
I'm like, wow, like in 15 years, look at the evolution I was able to go through as an entrepreneur.

00:24:00.353 --> 00:24:06.913
What if I can do that in a year, now that I can be more intentional because I understand it so much better?

00:24:06.913 --> 00:24:08.746
What if I can be about it?

00:24:08.746 --> 00:24:13.395
What if I could give up some Netflix time and be about it?

00:24:13.395 --> 00:24:16.147
What if I could be more intentional about becoming?

00:24:16.147 --> 00:24:20.946
What would happen for me and, by extension, what will happen to my family?

00:24:20.946 --> 00:24:22.605
What would happen to my clients?

00:24:22.605 --> 00:24:24.411
What kind of results will they now get?

00:24:24.411 --> 00:24:27.146
What kind of vision board can I be for the physician community?

00:24:27.146 --> 00:24:28.611
It's going to be wild.

00:24:28.951 --> 00:24:37.016
So I want to invite you to join me on this journey of becoming, and it all starts from deciding that I'm going to change.

00:24:37.016 --> 00:24:38.459
I'm going to change.

00:24:38.459 --> 00:24:40.951
I'm going to change the way I think, I'm going to change the way I show up.

00:24:40.951 --> 00:24:42.073
I'm going to change the way I act.

00:24:42.073 --> 00:24:43.857
I'm going to change what I believe about my future.

00:24:43.857 --> 00:24:48.276
I'm going to disconnect myself from the status quo and decide that I'm going to change this.

00:24:48.276 --> 00:24:50.646
Like I'm going to change, I'm going to do the work.

00:24:50.646 --> 00:24:56.894
I'm going to update my input, I'm going to update my circle, I'm going to update my system of accountability.

00:24:56.894 --> 00:24:58.336
I'm going to update all of that.

00:24:58.336 --> 00:25:02.559
Okay, you know, entreemd just exists to support you in doing that.

00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:04.281
We have so many ways of doing that.

00:25:04.281 --> 00:25:05.903
Okay, so we have this podcast.

00:25:05.903 --> 00:25:10.295
I want to invite you to subscribe, if you haven't, and I want you to just make this part of your routine.

00:25:10.295 --> 00:25:12.006
Right, that's the first thing.

00:25:12.125 --> 00:25:13.208
We have a number of books.

00:25:13.208 --> 00:25:17.473
If you haven't gotten yours, like, go get the book and sit down and read it.

00:25:17.473 --> 00:25:22.601
Like, call it a $15 MBA for a reason, right, and so you can go get the education you need.

00:25:22.601 --> 00:25:24.669
Now we have a number of programs.

00:25:24.669 --> 00:25:28.666
We have a number of ways of serving physicians and I want to invite you.

00:25:28.666 --> 00:25:33.846
You are like, yes, I want to put myself in a container, I want to fast track my evolution.

00:25:33.846 --> 00:25:36.290

We have four different tiers, different ways.

00:25:47.527 --> 00:25:49.632
We can serve you, just depending on what you want.

00:25:49.632 --> 00:25:53.088

00:25:53.088 --> 00:25:58.028

I am on a fast track journey to becoming to my evolution.

00:26:08.724 --> 00:26:10.890
I want you to have the same experience Now.

00:26:10.990 --> 00:26:13.016
Finally, you know I just had a birthday.

00:26:13.016 --> 00:26:14.708
I just turned 46.

00:26:14.708 --> 00:26:24.830
You know, as I go towards 90, you guys know I talk about my 90th birthday party so much, and you know what I would really love is if Entremdi has served you in any way in the last year.

00:26:24.830 --> 00:26:35.154
So, whether that's through the podcast, that's through the Entremdi Business School, that's through any of the books, any of the workshops, stuff that I post on social media, any of those things, I want you to go do a post and share about it.

00:26:35.154 --> 00:26:36.605

This is what I got out of it.

00:26:37.207 --> 00:26:38.709
This is a return on investment on that and is what I got out of it.

00:26:38.709 --> 00:26:41.833
