Before we get into this episode, I want to ask you one question…

Do you really have X years of experience, or did you have the same yearly experience for X years?

There’s a big difference. If you’re living on autopilot, you’re not actually gaining any new experiences. You’re just doing the same things over and over again, hoping they will somehow generate different results.

But that’s not how growth works. That’s why today, I’m sharing my antidote to autopilot with you!

In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to spark growth with monthly audits and the 6 key questions you need to ask to make them effective. These questions will help you scale your business faster than you ever thought possible!

Tune in!

00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:03.787
Once you start thinking like that, then every 30 days you can be different.

00:00:03.787 --> 00:00:05.266
You can be completely different.

00:00:05.266 --> 00:00:06.525
You could be getting different results.

00:00:06.525 --> 00:00:12.346
I'm not talking about hustle, hustle, hustle that you can't think, because you're working so hard you can't even sleep and all that.

00:00:12.346 --> 00:00:18.585
The truth of the matter is, you probably will use the same amount of energy and the same amount of time, but get bigger results.

00:00:18.585 --> 00:00:19.789
Like who doesn't love that?

00:00:20.992 --> 00:00:33.485
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.

00:00:33.485 --> 00:00:35.310
I'm your host, dr Una.

00:00:35.310 --> 00:00:54.976
This episode of the EntreMD podcast is going to be a game changer for you, because one of the things I get asked a lot about is, you know, being stuck, not being able to make a lot of progress month to month or year to year, not seeing that radical transformation, and things like that.

00:00:54.976 --> 00:01:03.067
But there is something that most people avoid doing that makes this possible, and I'm going to show that thing to you right now.

00:01:03.067 --> 00:01:17.808
Now, this is the thing that has made it possible for us to take a business that has only been in existence, from you know, for six years, from startup all the way to being on the Inc 5000 list of fastest growing companies in the United States for two years in a row.

00:01:17.808 --> 00:01:31.403
This is the same thing that has taken a super shy, socially awkward, introverted introvert from that person to someone who is, you know, can show up dominantly on stage, can network like a champ, who hosts multiple podcasts, who loves showing up live.

00:01:31.403 --> 00:01:32.906
What brought that change?

00:01:32.906 --> 00:01:34.652
This one thing I'm going to show you.

00:01:34.652 --> 00:01:37.668
Okay, and this is not something that just works in your business.

00:01:37.668 --> 00:01:40.022
Truth be told, it works in every aspect of your life.

00:01:40.022 --> 00:01:44.631
It's very simple People avoid it, but if you do it, it will change everything.

00:01:44.971 --> 00:02:01.183
Okay, now I want to start off by sharing this concept with you that I learned a few years ago, and is this concept of do you have 20 years experience, for instance, or do you have the same experience, the same yearly experience, 20 times?

00:02:01.183 --> 00:02:01.905
Right?

00:02:01.905 --> 00:02:09.165
And there is something that is required for you to go from I'm living the same year year to year to every year is different.

00:02:09.165 --> 00:02:21.170
So I truly have 20 years experience, and that has to do with stopping to actually edit what you're doing, stopping to actually notice what you're doing, stopping to actually see what is creating the results.

00:02:21.170 --> 00:02:30.651
And these are things people avoid, because, when you look at them, if you have not evolved to become the kind of person who can do that, who enjoys doing that, you see it as well.

00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:33.100
If I didn't do this right, then that means something is wrong with me.

00:02:33.100 --> 00:02:34.201
You know, I never get it wrong.

00:02:34.201 --> 00:02:36.342
I'm never consistent, I never follow through.

00:02:36.342 --> 00:02:39.064
I'm not good at selling, I'm not good at marketing, I'm not good at networking.

00:02:39.064 --> 00:02:40.445
There's like that.

00:02:40.445 --> 00:02:43.608
You can become good at what you need to become good at to pull off the result.

00:02:43.608 --> 00:02:45.028
You need to pull off right.

00:02:45.028 --> 00:02:51.673
And so is this concept of change, this concept of constantly evolving, which is the concept that we must embrace.

00:02:51.673 --> 00:02:54.615
Okay, so I'm getting very excited, very ahead of myself.

00:02:54.615 --> 00:02:57.355
So let me stop here for a second and take us back Now.

00:02:57.515 --> 00:02:59.837
What is the number one enemy of progress?

00:02:59.837 --> 00:03:04.068
Okay, one of the very powerful enemies of progress, let's put it that way.

00:03:04.068 --> 00:03:05.472
What is it?

00:03:05.472 --> 00:03:13.447
What is the thing that will keep you the same month to month, quarter to quarter, year to year, decade to decade?

00:03:13.447 --> 00:03:14.490
What is that?

00:03:14.490 --> 00:03:27.665
And unfortunately, it is true, you can be the same for a decade or you can get a little better, but you can go through a decade and not experience any significant change at all, which is my definition of a nightmare.

00:03:27.665 --> 00:03:32.062
That is a nightmare I want it to be like the way I've set up my life.

00:03:32.062 --> 00:03:39.536
I've set it up such that when you look at me, when you look at my business, when you look at my family, look at my life, every 90 days is different.

00:03:39.536 --> 00:03:59.169
There's tangible differences that people, humans, can see, and what I do is I very, very consistently take the antidote for autopilots right, because I don't know what can be as hurtful as being 90 and thinking about all the things you could do.

00:03:59.771 --> 00:04:04.504
And at that point you do the exercise I'm telling you about, because that's what happens as we get older.

00:04:04.504 --> 00:04:13.020
And then you're like I should have just done those things, like it was not that serious, like I shouldn't have been afraid of those things, right, like who wants to do that at 90 when you can do that today?

00:04:13.020 --> 00:04:16.625
Okay, so I want you to promise me that you're going to do this today.

00:04:16.625 --> 00:04:22.192
You can send me a DM or a PM on Facebook or Instagram and say okay, dr Unai, I promise I'm going to do this.

00:04:22.192 --> 00:04:24.214
Okay, the enemy is autopilot.

00:04:24.214 --> 00:04:25.762
And what is the antidote?

00:04:25.762 --> 00:04:29.209
The antidote is the monthly audit.

00:04:29.209 --> 00:04:35.050
Okay, I call it the monthly audit because you know I mostly do it monthly, but it's an audit, right, it's a mostly audit.

00:04:35.050 --> 00:04:35.980
So I want you to think about that.

00:04:35.980 --> 00:04:37.523
What comes up when you think about audits?

00:04:37.523 --> 00:04:42.149
It's like oh you know, things will be found out and it'll be penalized, and things like that.

00:04:42.149 --> 00:04:42.831
That's not this.

00:04:43.012 --> 00:04:46.463
What this audit does is it helps you tap into your wisdom.

00:04:46.463 --> 00:04:52.380
It helps you tap into the wisdom that you could have because of the experiences you have had.

00:04:52.380 --> 00:04:56.930
So people will sometimes say you know, like, wisdom comes with age.

00:04:56.930 --> 00:05:10.274
And I think it was John Maxwell who said, yeah, that he's heard that people say wisdom comes with age, but he's like but unfortunately, many times, wisdom comes alone, like it's alone, like the people who got older, they didn't get any wisdom right.

00:05:10.274 --> 00:05:14.507
It's a huge loss that you have an experience of.

00:05:14.908 --> 00:05:32.129
So 30 days, 30 days have gone by, you've had this experience and you can't look at it and pull out of it wisdom because you're like okay, since I've gone through this, I now have this observation this is what works, this is what doesn't work, these are the kind of things that get in my way, all this stuff.

00:05:32.129 --> 00:05:37.192
So, based on that I will face the next 30 days in this new way, right?

00:05:37.192 --> 00:05:41.971
And so once you start thinking like that, then every 30 days, you can be different.

00:05:41.971 --> 00:05:43.446
You can be completely different.

00:05:43.446 --> 00:05:44.685
You could be getting different results.

00:05:44.685 --> 00:05:51.266
And I'm not talking about hustle, hustle, hustle that you can't think, because you're working so hard you can't even sleep and all that.

00:05:51.266 --> 00:05:59.009
The truth of the matter is, you probably will use the same amount of energy and the same amount of time, but get bigger results.

00:05:59.009 --> 00:06:00.091
Like who doesn't want that?

00:06:00.259 --> 00:06:02.783
So this is the deal with a monthly audit and I'll tell you.

00:06:02.783 --> 00:06:03.362
I just did it.

00:06:03.362 --> 00:06:07.367
So I'll tell you exactly how I did it, and it's going to be such a game changer for you.

00:06:07.367 --> 00:06:11.211
Okay, so, first of all, I prep for it and this is how I prep for it.

00:06:11.211 --> 00:06:15.574
So I have my journal, I have a pen, I have my 2025 goals.

00:06:15.574 --> 00:06:17.536
At the time of this recording, we're in 2025.

00:06:17.536 --> 00:06:20.723
So I have my yearly goals.

00:06:20.862 --> 00:06:25.271
Okay, so I have my yearly goals in front of me, I have my journal, my pen and I have an attitude.

00:06:25.271 --> 00:06:27.595
Okay, I talk about this in the entrepreneur business school all the time.

00:06:27.595 --> 00:06:32.040
I have an attitude, and the attitude is the attitude of observe, don't judge, observe, don't judge.

00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:38.322
And so I'm not allowed to judge myself, I'm not allowed to say, oh you suck, you didn't do this or you did that, or you always do this.

00:06:38.322 --> 00:06:47.704
You never do that, like I'm looking at it like an outside party, just examining what happened in that time period, okay, so, which for me is a 30 day time period.

00:06:47.704 --> 00:06:48.125
Okay.

00:06:48.125 --> 00:06:52.403
Now, when I do that, I ask myself these six questions Again.

00:06:52.403 --> 00:07:01.468
I know this sounds simple, I know it's just like six questions, but the truth of the matter is, if you do this, like I did it in the last 30 days, maybe I'll tell you what happened.

00:07:01.468 --> 00:07:02.348
Okay, I'll tell you what happened.

00:07:02.348 --> 00:07:03.129
Okay, all right.

00:07:03.211 --> 00:07:04.312
So let's look at the six questions.

00:07:04.312 --> 00:07:06.795
So the first question what progress have I made?

00:07:06.795 --> 00:07:09.588
And people are like, yeah, well, nothing much happened.

00:07:09.588 --> 00:07:13.271
Don't ever say that, look for it.

00:07:13.271 --> 00:07:15.206
What progress did I make?

00:07:15.206 --> 00:07:21.122
So you pull out those yearly goals and you're like what portion of these goals did I capture in the last 30 days?

00:07:21.322 --> 00:07:24.045
If you follow our teachings, you know that there's nine areas of life.

00:07:24.045 --> 00:07:39.721
So there's spiritual, there's family, there's legacy, there's health, there's finances, there's business or career or academics, there's, you know, fun, there's intellectual development, social capital, like.

00:07:39.721 --> 00:07:40.781
So we have all these nine, nine areas of life.

00:07:40.781 --> 00:07:42.485
Now I'm measuring for each one, so this is going to take you a minute.

00:07:42.485 --> 00:07:44.247
It took me about an hour and a half to do it Best hour and a half I spent.

00:07:44.247 --> 00:07:47.512
So you know, like, for each one, like, what portion of this did I capture?

00:07:47.512 --> 00:07:49.824
Okay, and that to me, like, but I miss, but I miss.

00:07:49.824 --> 00:07:50.747
This is not, but I miss.

00:07:50.747 --> 00:07:52.011
This is not, but I miss time.

00:07:52.011 --> 00:07:54.382
This is looking for progress time.

00:07:54.382 --> 00:08:01.571
Okay, so for each of those areas, right, I write out the area and then I write what progress I had when I match it up to my 2025 goals.

00:08:01.571 --> 00:08:03.533
Okay, all right, so I'm doing that.

00:08:04.173 --> 00:08:06.521
Now, what is the biggest reason for doing this?

00:08:06.521 --> 00:08:17.262
Well, gratitude is such an amplifier right At the end of the day, and then it also puts you in this frame of mind that it's working right, and this is something like in the Entrepreneurial Business School we push so hard.

00:08:17.262 --> 00:08:20.166
I remember when we first started, when I had people celebrate wins.

00:08:20.166 --> 00:08:21.228
They're like I don't have any wins.

00:08:21.228 --> 00:08:29.661
I'm like you have wins and we're going to find them Right, and now it's just such a natural thing that people do like reporting on progress and things like that.

00:08:29.661 --> 00:08:39.443
If you don't learn to build that muscle of finding them, you won't find them and you will be in the middle of one of the most magical times in your business and you'll completely miss it because to you, nothing's working Right.

00:08:39.443 --> 00:08:42.207
So that's something we want to avoid.

00:08:42.207 --> 00:08:43.549
So what progress do we make?

00:08:43.549 --> 00:08:46.735
And you're like, wow, if we could do this, and I didn't even know all that happened.

00:08:46.735 --> 00:08:48.527
What could happen if I focus on this?

00:08:48.527 --> 00:08:56.886
Like it just puts you in this space and this state where it's like all things are possible, everything is possible, right, like, yeah, okay.

00:08:56.886 --> 00:08:57.610
So that's the first thing.

00:08:57.610 --> 00:09:02.631
The second thing, the second question, is what actions were responsible for the progress I made?

00:09:02.631 --> 00:09:08.596
So, again, I would write out those nine areas again and I'm now looking at the progress that was made and I'm now auditing.

00:09:08.756 --> 00:09:12.327
Okay, in my relationship with my kids, it was better.

00:09:12.327 --> 00:09:13.370
Why was that?

00:09:13.370 --> 00:09:16.307
Okay, I scheduled these days and stuff with them.

00:09:16.307 --> 00:09:17.663
Okay, great In my health.

00:09:17.663 --> 00:09:18.626
Why was that better?

00:09:18.626 --> 00:09:26.533
Oh, I went on this 30 day no sugar thing, you know, because that's what I wanted to do and I did intermittent fasting Wonderful, okay.

00:09:26.533 --> 00:09:31.020
Great In my business, we had our biggest, we had our highest grossing month.

00:09:31.522 --> 00:09:32.123
How come?

00:09:32.123 --> 00:09:32.823
What happened?

00:09:32.823 --> 00:09:35.809
Oh, we went to town with selling right.

00:09:35.809 --> 00:09:39.443
We became we had this one hour block in our business.

00:09:39.443 --> 00:09:49.863
Every day we're doing the askathon and we were just, you know, either inviting people to workshops, inviting people to work with us, or nurturing relationships, helping people with resources, serving people, all of those kinds of things.

00:09:49.863 --> 00:09:54.663
And so, because we did that, the result was you know X number of new clients or whatever.

00:09:54.884 --> 00:10:00.062
Just going down right, like, what were the things that worked, the results I did get the progress I did make.

00:10:00.062 --> 00:10:01.565
What actions created that?

00:10:01.565 --> 00:10:07.235
Now, this is super important because if we don't audit it, we don't know what actions are working.

00:10:07.235 --> 00:10:09.288
We don't know what our 20% is, we don't know.

00:10:09.288 --> 00:10:13.440
And so, because of that, you know, like again, let me take you to the 80-20 principle.

00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:22.436
So the 80-20 principle states that 80% of your results will come from 20% of your activities and 20% of your results come from 80% of the activity.

00:10:22.436 --> 00:10:25.730
So there's a lot of activities that could give you an itty bitty result.

00:10:25.730 --> 00:10:26.974
That's the bottom line.

00:10:27.144 --> 00:10:32.755
Now, when you do this audit, you then discover what are those 20% things that I'm already doing?

00:10:32.755 --> 00:10:34.952
What are the things moving the needle the most?

00:10:34.952 --> 00:10:41.852
And you find that out of 10 things, there are two things or three things that are doing the most, then you can do more of what works Then most.

00:10:41.852 --> 00:10:43.073
Then you can do more of what works.

00:10:43.073 --> 00:10:47.256
Then you can turn up the volume, you can turn up the frequency, you can optimize it, you can get better at it.

00:10:47.256 --> 00:10:50.219
But if you don't evaluate, you will never know.

00:10:50.340 --> 00:10:56.309
And what that means is you will trade 80% activities and 20% activities the same, which is a definition of a nightmare, right?

00:10:56.309 --> 00:11:02.673
Because what that means is you're going to be tired, you're going to be burnt out, you're not going to have time for the things that matter for you and you're not going to be creating the results.

00:11:02.673 --> 00:11:08.350
Worse still, you could be procrastinating on the 20% and all in on the 80%, which again, is another nightmare.

00:11:08.350 --> 00:11:10.456
But you will know till you stop and think.

00:11:10.456 --> 00:11:15.115
And so, if you look at this, this is not something you're like oh yeah, you're listening to the podcast episode.

00:11:15.115 --> 00:11:17.467
You're not going to get the answers from listening to a podcast episode.

00:11:17.467 --> 00:11:20.471
You're going to go workshop this.

00:11:20.572 --> 00:11:32.308
In fact, I would probably say you know, get a pod, get one of these EntreeMD pods, so get a number of friends together, like, okay, we're the EntreeMD pod and you sit down and you guys hold yourself accountable Like you do each of these questions.

00:11:32.308 --> 00:11:35.638
So 10 minutes for each question and then 10 minute discussion.

00:11:35.638 --> 00:11:37.307
10 minute for another question, 10 minute discussion.

00:11:37.307 --> 00:11:40.811
You will get so much wisdom, so much out of this.

00:11:40.811 --> 00:11:42.514
Okay, that's the second question.

00:11:42.514 --> 00:11:45.677
Okay, and this is so that we can do more of what works and less of what doesn't.

00:11:45.798 --> 00:11:48.081
The third question what did I neglect to do?

00:11:48.081 --> 00:11:53.486
Okay, now, remember, we talked about observe, don't judge.

00:11:53.486 --> 00:11:54.086
So we're going back there.

00:11:54.086 --> 00:11:55.950
We're not judging, we're just looking like, what didn't I do?

00:11:55.950 --> 00:12:01.817
Like I had this great goal for 2025 and I had all these plans, but I didn't do these things Right.

00:12:01.817 --> 00:12:03.538
And so what are those things?

00:12:03.538 --> 00:12:04.880
You got to identify them.

00:12:04.880 --> 00:12:13.652
And if you think of it, like if I can identify, I can tap into my wisdom, then this is so much better than looking at it and say, okay, this means I'm bad.

00:12:13.652 --> 00:12:14.514
It doesn't mean you're bad.

00:12:14.514 --> 00:12:16.791
Everybody neglects to do something right.

00:12:16.791 --> 00:12:28.184
Okay, it means you're human, congratulations, okay.

00:12:28.184 --> 00:12:28.727
So now what does that mean?

00:12:28.727 --> 00:12:29.230
You know, for my family?

00:12:29.250 --> 00:12:32.221
I can say, man, we were supposed to go on a vacation we could have, but we didn't because I just didn't schedule it.

00:12:32.221 --> 00:12:33.186
So that just didn't happen.

00:12:33.186 --> 00:12:42.428
Or I can say, with my health I was also going to take 10,000 steps a day, but I didn't really pull it off, so I didn't do that.

00:12:42.428 --> 00:12:43.390
I did the sugar and all that.

00:12:43.390 --> 00:12:45.053
That's great, but this one I didn't do.

00:12:45.053 --> 00:12:46.756
That I can say for my business.

00:12:46.777 --> 00:12:47.759
I had a critical hire.

00:12:47.759 --> 00:13:02.138
I could have hired that person, but it's kind of you know, I'm just kind of, you know, like dragging my feet on the process and so because of that, I didn't hire this person Right.

00:13:02.138 --> 00:13:03.841
So what did I neglect to do?

00:13:03.841 --> 00:13:05.482
Maybe for you it's like your team.

00:13:05.482 --> 00:13:12.769
You were like this is finally the year I'll start having those team meetings so I can enroll my team, so we're all on the same page serving and earning, but you didn't do it Right.

00:13:12.769 --> 00:13:19.259
Or maybe you decided this month you know, this time in my team I'm going to be doing the ask-a-thon and you just didn't do it.

00:13:19.259 --> 00:13:28.503
You may even be here and you're like, oh man, I've been meaning to get into the Entree MD Business School, I'm going to do this because this is going to create a big difference in my business, and you just didn't do it.

00:13:28.503 --> 00:13:29.442
You're looking at these things.

00:13:29.442 --> 00:13:30.903
What did I neglect to do.

00:13:30.903 --> 00:13:40.677
Okay, now that you've identified that, and please don't skip that, because there's no other way to access the wisdom you should have because of the experiences you've been through without doing this.

00:13:40.677 --> 00:13:44.926
Okay, all right.

00:13:44.946 --> 00:13:46.592
So the next question, number four, is what obstacles limited me?

00:13:46.592 --> 00:13:47.215
What obstacles limited me?

00:13:47.215 --> 00:13:48.379
What obstacles stopped me?

00:13:48.379 --> 00:13:53.052
So, the things I neglected to do why, why did I neglect to do them?

00:13:53.052 --> 00:13:55.376
Okay, so I didn't take my family on the vacation.

00:13:55.376 --> 00:13:55.457
Why?

00:13:55.457 --> 00:13:57.227
Because I didn't schedule it.

00:13:57.489 --> 00:13:59.513
Okay, I didn't take the 10,000 steps.

00:13:59.513 --> 00:13:59.913
Why?

00:13:59.913 --> 00:14:05.446
Because I didn't pick a place in my day where the steps will be taken, and so that didn't happen.

00:14:05.446 --> 00:14:07.932
Right, I didn't have the meeting with my team.

00:14:07.932 --> 00:14:08.815
How come?

00:14:08.815 --> 00:14:10.238
Because I was terrified.

00:14:10.238 --> 00:14:12.350
I don't feel worthy of a team like that.

00:14:12.350 --> 00:14:14.115
I think they're going to look at me like who is she?

00:14:14.115 --> 00:14:17.308
They're going to look at me like who am I bossing around and stuff like that.

00:14:17.308 --> 00:14:18.571
Like, that was the obstacle.

00:14:18.571 --> 00:14:21.075
Right, I said I was going to sell.

00:14:21.075 --> 00:14:21.634
I didn't.

00:14:21.634 --> 00:14:22.296
How come?

00:14:22.296 --> 00:14:27.191
Because I think selling is sleazy, and you know I'm a doctor.

00:14:27.191 --> 00:14:29.032
Like, when is enough enough?

00:14:29.032 --> 00:14:33.676
Like, isn't it greed that I still want to get more stuff, make more money?

00:14:33.676 --> 00:14:36.091
Right, didn't join the EntreMD business school.

00:14:36.091 --> 00:14:36.833
What could it be?

00:14:36.833 --> 00:14:39.212
I see it working for people.

00:14:39.212 --> 00:14:40.650
I don't know if it worked for me.

00:14:40.650 --> 00:14:45.427
I don't know if I can pull it off.

00:14:45.427 --> 00:14:47.511
If I can do it, I don't know if I can pay for it, right, okay, this is important.

00:14:47.511 --> 00:14:47.913
Why?

00:14:47.913 --> 00:14:50.619
Because you're going to tap into the wisdom.

00:14:50.619 --> 00:14:51.166
Okay.

00:14:51.506 --> 00:14:59.991
Now, once you identify the obstacles, the next question, number five, is how will I then stop these obstacles from stopping me over the next month?

00:14:59.991 --> 00:15:02.375
How am I going to stop them from stopping me?

00:15:02.375 --> 00:15:04.279
Okay, so what does that mean?

00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:06.951
That means we then go to those obstacles.

00:15:06.951 --> 00:15:08.153
What do we need to do?

00:15:08.153 --> 00:15:13.235
So, for instance, if my thing with didn't take my family on vacation this is hypothetical.

00:15:13.235 --> 00:15:19.154
They take my family on vacation and the issue was scheduling how am I going to stop that from stopping me?

00:15:19.154 --> 00:15:28.030
I'm going to put a time on my calendar, I'm going to sit with my husband, we're going to map all the vacations for the year and then that's done, so that, even if I'm busy or whatever, all the vacations are happening.

00:15:28.030 --> 00:15:29.456
That's something, okay.

00:15:29.537 --> 00:15:35.014
So, for my steps I didn't take those 10,000 steps a day for my health, because I just didn't find a point in the day.

00:15:35.014 --> 00:15:41.460
And then I come back, I look at my calendar, like, okay, knowing what I now know, if I leave it on autopilot, I'm never going to take these steps.

00:15:41.460 --> 00:15:43.181
I'm not going to see the benefit in my health.

00:15:43.181 --> 00:15:43.681
I want to see.

00:15:43.681 --> 00:15:48.942
So I'm going to look at my calendar and I'm going to say look at my day like a regular day.

00:15:48.942 --> 00:15:50.510
Where in my day am I going to put this?

00:15:50.510 --> 00:15:57.246
Because if I put it in that place and assign it a home, then chances are it gets done and I get the benefit I want, and so that obstacle no longer stopped me.

00:15:57.388 --> 00:16:02.794
So maybe the team I didn't feel worthy of a team like that and they'll look at me weird and all of those things.

00:16:02.794 --> 00:16:08.570
Well then, maybe you're like, okay, I'm going to, you know, like, is this some mindset work that I need to do?

00:16:08.570 --> 00:16:10.634
And so I am going to.

00:16:10.634 --> 00:16:12.725
I'm going to visualize it right.

00:16:12.725 --> 00:16:17.017
I'm going to visualize the meeting, me showing up confidently, doing all of those those kinds of things.

00:16:17.017 --> 00:16:24.759
I'm going to do the mindset work, right, I'm going to do the mindset work so I can show up, and I'm going to do it, irrespective of how I feel I'm going to do it.

00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:34.206
So I'm going to put it, I'm going to call my office manager, call whoever, and say, okay, we're going to have our team meeting on this day at this time, right, and so like, okay, that's what I'm going to do.

00:16:34.206 --> 00:16:35.327
So the obstacle doesn't stop me.

00:16:35.327 --> 00:16:44.561
You were like I'm going to join the untrained business, me, and all of those kinds of things, and you're going to come back here and you're like I'm a whole physician.

00:16:44.885 --> 00:16:51.932
I was able to get into medical school, I was able to graduate from medical school, I was able to complete a residency and all of those things at some point in time.

00:16:51.932 --> 00:16:52.634
They were terrifying.

00:16:52.634 --> 00:16:55.955
I had never done them before and I wasn't completely sure I could pull it off.

00:16:55.955 --> 00:16:58.826
And so this is no different, right, this is no different.

00:16:58.826 --> 00:17:03.677
This is even less, you know, like less demanding than medical school.

00:17:03.677 --> 00:17:07.595
So that's that and I'm like, okay, but what of my type of business?

00:17:07.595 --> 00:17:08.944
Am I the only one who's afraid?

00:17:08.944 --> 00:17:10.371
We actually have a podcast.

00:17:10.371 --> 00:17:16.115
It's called Inside the Entree MD Business School and it's stories of doctor after doctor after doctor in the Entree MD Business School.

00:17:16.404 --> 00:17:35.215
I'm going to go binge on that, so I can see that, whether it's my stage of life or whether it's my kind of business or whether it's my kind of specialty, like there is representation, and so if they could do it then I could do it Right, I'm just going to get on a call with the team on Trinitycom for such call and I'm just going to go schedule my stuff and get myself in the school.

00:17:35.215 --> 00:17:36.390
So it can't stop me.

00:17:36.390 --> 00:17:46.160
So I get the advantage of the mentorship, I get the advantage of the community, I get the advantage of the community, I get the advantage of the accountability, so I can pull off the results I want to pull off for this year.

00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:47.381
Do you guys see what I'm saying?

00:17:47.381 --> 00:17:48.507
Like, what was the progress?

00:17:48.507 --> 00:17:49.430
What were the actions?

00:17:49.430 --> 00:17:49.790
Why?

00:17:49.790 --> 00:17:50.933
So we can do more of it?

00:17:51.213 --> 00:17:52.346
What did we neglect to do?

00:17:52.346 --> 00:17:54.557
What are the obstacles that stopped us from doing it?

00:17:54.557 --> 00:17:56.967
How do we stop the thing that stopped us from stopping us?

00:17:56.967 --> 00:18:00.472
So by the time you're done with this, you walk away right.

00:18:00.472 --> 00:18:03.317
So when I did it, when I did it, it was very interesting.

00:18:03.317 --> 00:18:06.634
So again, remember, you're doing it for all nine areas of life.

00:18:06.935 --> 00:18:10.730
Okay, all nine areas, because in Entremet you were about the dream business and the dream life.

00:18:10.730 --> 00:18:12.355
There are so many people in the Entremet Business School.

00:18:12.355 --> 00:18:22.095
They will tell you like their businesses are amazing, their business wins are amazing, their teams are amazing, but some of the most meaningful results they've gotten from the business school have been in their dream life.

00:18:22.095 --> 00:18:28.492
Their marriage is being better than being able to spend more time with their kids, than being able to go on extended vacations with their kids.

00:18:28.492 --> 00:18:44.305
The level of confidence they have when they show up in all areas of their lives being able to go on mission trips, being able to speak confidently, like being able to be a philanthropist, like all kinds of stuff, all kinds of stuff, right.

00:18:44.305 --> 00:18:45.848
And so this is why we do it in all nine areas of life.

00:18:45.868 --> 00:18:53.994
Okay, now that you've answered these five questions, the final question, which is kind of the point of all the questions, is how am I now deciding to show up?

00:18:53.994 --> 00:18:58.270
How am I now deciding to show up now that I know all these things?

00:18:58.270 --> 00:19:04.875
So Brian Tracy calls it a quink analysis K-W-I-N-K quink analysis, which is knowing what I now know.

00:19:04.875 --> 00:19:06.712
It's an acronym knowing what I now know.

00:19:06.712 --> 00:19:08.220
What will I do differently?

00:19:08.220 --> 00:19:13.034
So this is you tapping into the wisdom you can have because of experience.

00:19:13.034 --> 00:19:14.678
So how are you now going to show?

00:19:14.678 --> 00:19:15.990
How are you now deciding to show up?

00:19:16.511 --> 00:19:19.506
So, when I did this exercise and I did it for all nine areas of life.

00:19:19.506 --> 00:19:20.568
It's very strange.

00:19:20.568 --> 00:19:25.227
It's very strange because I noticed the theme in all the things I neglected to do.

00:19:25.227 --> 00:19:27.492
So, first of all, we made a lot of progress.

00:19:27.492 --> 00:19:29.057
We got a lot of things done.

00:19:29.057 --> 00:19:32.945
Like, when I was done putting it all together, I was like I cannot believe all these things happened in 30 days.

00:19:32.945 --> 00:19:34.528
Like it's just so crazy, right.

00:19:34.528 --> 00:19:40.414
So so much progress took note of what worked, I was like, oh, we're going to, we're just going to put the gas on on this one, right.

00:19:41.215 --> 00:19:52.137
And I looked at the things that I neglected to do and when I saw it and I started looking at the theme all through, the funny thing is, for all nine areas of my life, it was three things.

00:19:52.137 --> 00:20:03.935
It's either I didn't schedule the thing or I didn't talk to my team, because I have rockstar teams and all my businesses and I mean they're movers and shakers but I didn't have a conversation with them.

00:20:03.935 --> 00:20:06.671
I didn't get it off my plate, so it was still in my brain somewhere.

00:20:06.671 --> 00:20:10.255
So it's either I didn't schedule, I didn't delegate, or I didn't prep.

00:20:10.255 --> 00:20:13.134
I didn't prep so that when it was time I'd be able to pull it off.

00:20:13.134 --> 00:20:15.035
And so, in all nine areas.

00:20:15.035 --> 00:20:18.356
These three things just came up over, over, over, over and over again.

00:20:18.356 --> 00:20:19.817
So what did I immediately do?

00:20:19.817 --> 00:20:24.981
I went, went back to my calendar, did a deep audit and then made sure everything had a home.

00:20:24.981 --> 00:20:31.164
I scheduled all these meetings with my team and made sure my calendar, those meetings were represented and with things that need to happen in them.

00:20:31.164 --> 00:20:38.511
And then I made accommodations for prep time, especially not so much business, but in my life I made accommodations, like you know, for prep time, especially not so much business, but in my life I made accommodations, like you know, for prep time.

00:20:38.833 --> 00:20:41.935
And I know like the next 30 days is just going to be crazy.

00:20:41.935 --> 00:20:44.898
So because of that, how did I then decide?

00:20:44.898 --> 00:20:47.961
I would show up for the next 30 days With intention.

00:20:47.961 --> 00:20:56.970
I would be intentional, right, so it's not going to cost me more time, it's not going to cost me more energy.

00:20:56.970 --> 00:21:03.720
Chances are it may cost me less time and less energy, but if I pay the price of intention, I'm going to get far superior results over the next 30 days.

00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.574
And then guess what I'm going to do when those 30 days are over?

00:21:06.574 --> 00:21:10.655
I'm going to go back to the drawing board and do this process all over again.

00:21:10.655 --> 00:21:17.479
So when you think about this, you can then see how January will be amazing, but February will be like oh my goodness.

00:21:17.479 --> 00:21:18.324
And then February will be like oh my goodness.

00:21:18.324 --> 00:21:21.034
And then February will be amazing, and then March will be like oh my goodness, why?

00:21:21.034 --> 00:21:30.833
Because I'm growing in wisdom every month, like I'm becoming so much wiser, I understand so much better how to create results, I am so clear on what works and doesn't work.

00:21:31.185 --> 00:21:35.866
And it all starts from sitting down to think this activity right here.

00:21:35.866 --> 00:21:41.159
If you will do it, it will change everything for you.

00:21:41.159 --> 00:21:46.396
I mean it will, and in all areas of your life, right, and so I want to challenge you to do it.

00:21:46.396 --> 00:21:48.650
That's one thing I want to challenge you to do.

00:21:48.650 --> 00:22:27.025
The second thing I want to challenge you to do is please hear me when I say this okay, entreemd exists to give doctors three gifts no-transcript boards.

00:22:27.025 --> 00:22:32.115
I know that, and so I have to continually invest heavily in myself.

00:22:32.115 --> 00:22:36.667
Okay, so that we can provide the mentorship that is required.

00:22:36.667 --> 00:22:37.589
That's gift number one.

00:22:37.589 --> 00:22:40.594
Gift number two is community, okay.

00:22:40.673 --> 00:22:44.440
So back in the day, when we first started the business school, people were like, oh man, I just want one-on-one.

00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:47.281
I'm like, trust me, that's not what you want, because I was very clear.

00:22:47.281 --> 00:22:53.973
I was very clear that the power of your environment is more powerful than most things.

00:22:53.973 --> 00:22:56.053
You're gonna reflect your environment.

00:22:56.053 --> 00:22:58.828
And so, in the business school people powerful than most things.

00:22:58.828 --> 00:22:59.771
You're going to reflect your environment.

00:22:59.771 --> 00:23:01.419
And so, in the business school people, they handle challenges like bosses.

00:23:01.419 --> 00:23:07.986
And so when people experience challenges, they have so many examples of so many people who went through more difficult things and came up on top.

00:23:07.986 --> 00:23:09.269
So guess what they don't do.

00:23:09.269 --> 00:23:11.192
They don't quit, they don't quit.

00:23:11.192 --> 00:23:20.671
You see examples of people who normalize, serving people at a high level and making a lot of money and not feeling guilty about it, not being apologetic about it.

00:23:20.671 --> 00:23:21.894
So guess what they can do.

00:23:21.894 --> 00:23:23.258
They can tap into that.

00:23:23.258 --> 00:23:34.497
They're in a community where we value and not just as a statement that's on a cute wall, but this is the way it is we value collaboration, okay, collaboration over competition.

00:23:34.497 --> 00:23:36.650
And so guess what they can collaborate.

00:23:36.650 --> 00:23:38.487
They're not intimidated by competition.

00:23:38.487 --> 00:23:40.415
They're not intimidated because of that.

00:23:40.415 --> 00:23:48.871
They're in a community where people understand that marketing, selling, building a brand building team, all of that that's just what you do in business.

00:23:48.871 --> 00:23:50.096
So guess what they do.

00:23:50.096 --> 00:23:52.884
They start adopting that and they just start doing that.

00:23:52.884 --> 00:23:53.626
I know that.

00:23:53.626 --> 00:23:58.178
So we built the community so you can have a community where you can thrive.

00:23:58.785 --> 00:24:01.170
And then the third thing is accountability.

00:24:01.170 --> 00:24:02.613
Why accountability?

00:24:02.613 --> 00:24:06.788
Because people sometimes say you're always motivated.

00:24:06.788 --> 00:24:10.535
No, I have built systems that drive motivation.

00:24:10.535 --> 00:24:15.311
I've built systems of accountability, and we do that in so many ways.

00:24:15.311 --> 00:24:21.695
We have so many different strategies we use to make sure that you can stay in momentum even when you don't want to.

00:24:21.695 --> 00:24:24.570
It doesn't mean we're forcing you to do anything, but you're kind of just.

00:24:24.570 --> 00:24:27.807
You know like, you're going with the flow, and the flow is accountability.

00:24:27.807 --> 00:24:30.012
Right and it is just.

00:24:30.012 --> 00:24:42.834
It's such a beautiful place and I believe every physician deserves to be in a community like that, deserves to have access to a world-class business education.

00:24:42.834 --> 00:24:52.393
Okay, now we've had people say you know, I was thinking about going to do an MBA, it was going to cost me a hundred grand or 120 grand and stuff like that, but I'm glad I came to the business school instead.

00:24:52.393 --> 00:24:56.336
We have a number of people who are MBAs and, like you know, I finished my MBA.

00:24:56.464 --> 00:24:59.074
The next logical step was to come to the EntreMD Business School.

00:24:59.074 --> 00:25:00.230
So this is the deal.

00:25:00.230 --> 00:25:08.895
One of the things you can do that will be most transformational for your year is to put yourself in a place where you get the mentorship, community, accountability.

00:25:08.895 --> 00:25:13.769
You listen to the podcast, you've created wins from it, you've experienced such mindset shifts and all that.

00:25:13.769 --> 00:25:14.531
It's time.

00:25:14.531 --> 00:25:17.145
It is time, okay.

00:25:17.587 --> 00:25:20.146
So what I want you to do is I want you to go apply.

00:25:20.146 --> 00:25:28.451

00:25:50.088 --> 00:25:51.511
You get to have it all.

00:25:51.511 --> 00:25:54.317
That's what we do, okay, so do that.

00:25:54.317 --> 00:25:56.747
It's one of the most magical things you can do for your business.

00:25:56.747 --> 00:25:57.547
Okay, all right.

00:25:57.547 --> 00:25:59.528

I want you to go apply to the business school, and not just progress in your business, but progress in your life as well.

00:26:18.828 --> 00:26:33.910
Whether you are running a fee-for-service private practice, a direct primary care practice, direct specialty care practice, you're a coach, you're a consultant, you're an event plan, like whatever that is, whatever that is, there's so much that is available and the things you've dreamt about they're available.

00:26:33.910 --> 00:26:36.855
You may have been surrounded by people who are like, oh, forget that.

00:26:36.855 --> 00:26:37.797
Things like that don't work.

00:26:37.797 --> 00:26:41.307
Businesses don't work, private practice is dead the whole nine yards.

00:26:41.307 --> 00:26:55.369
But I want you to imagine you being in a space where there's so many examples of what is possible, and now you're in that place where you're an example for other people because you've now made it possible for you and that's available, and I want you to have that.

00:26:55.369 --> 00:26:56.372
Okay, all right.

00:26:56.372 --> 00:26:57.153
So I'm rooting for you.

00:26:57.153 --> 00:26:57.913
I'm rooting for you.

00:26:57.913 --> 00:26:58.835
