00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.025
The time to build a dominant brand has come.

00:00:02.025 --> 00:00:03.169
Will it work for your business?

00:00:03.169 --> 00:00:05.546
Yes, will it attract new clients and patients for you?

00:00:05.546 --> 00:00:08.669
Yes, would it create the door for opportunities you didn't even think of?

00:00:08.669 --> 00:00:16.074
Absolutely, and in the time that we're in, in the crisis we're in, you get to be one of the people rewriting history.

00:00:16.074 --> 00:00:20.548
You get to be one of the heroes of history because you change things with your brand.

00:00:22.472 --> 00:00:34.945
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.

00:00:34.945 --> 00:00:36.771
I'm your host, dr Imna.

00:00:36.771 --> 00:00:44.607
I've been saying this for a few years now.

00:00:44.607 --> 00:00:49.549
I just want to say it a little louder Private equity is not going to change health care for us.

00:00:49.549 --> 00:00:53.250
The insurance companies are not going to turn around and change health care for us.

00:00:53.250 --> 00:01:01.548
The health care space is literally looking for saviors, is literally looking for a Calvary, and the truth of the matter is it's us.

00:01:01.548 --> 00:01:09.647
Now we have an opportunity to say yes, to answer the call and get stuff done, or we will say no and watch everything just go to blazes.

00:01:09.647 --> 00:01:21.263
Okay Now, this is a very important episode for the private practice people, but for everyone really everyone but more especially for those of us in private practice.

00:01:21.384 --> 00:01:34.085
Now, what got me really started on this is I was looking at the doctor's profile and somebody who was an acquaintance of hers posted about how he just did his last shift at a hospital that he's been at for 15 years.

00:01:34.085 --> 00:01:42.052
You know very reputable hospital and things like that that got bought out by private equity and then private equity had signed a deal.

00:01:42.052 --> 00:01:47.352
You know, according to his post, that they were going to keep the hospital open for at least 10 years.

00:01:47.352 --> 00:02:02.120
Ok, but in the course of all of this, what happened was they acquired the hospital, they sold the land that the hospital was on, they took out a multibillion dollar loan right, because the hospital is a huge asset.

00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:07.587
They could do that and ultimately got the hospital in so much debt and then shut it down.

00:02:07.587 --> 00:02:11.864
And that's bad enough, okay, because I want you to think of a whole hospital system.

00:02:11.864 --> 00:02:15.057
He talked about the different service lines that had been created.

00:02:15.057 --> 00:02:17.544
Think about how long it takes to create that.

00:02:17.544 --> 00:02:21.200
Think about the number of people it serves, think about all of those things.

00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:23.846
And that's gone, like completely gone Now.

00:02:23.906 --> 00:02:28.514
He then said something that made me go like, oh my goodness, like we have to figure this out.

00:02:28.514 --> 00:02:35.774
And he said that seven hospitals in the Philadelphia area have closed in the last six years.

00:02:35.774 --> 00:02:38.849
That's more than one a year, but let's just say it's one a year.

00:02:38.849 --> 00:02:49.586
And we're not talking about Pennsylvania, we're talking about Philadelphia, right, and we have a hospital a year shutting down, and there are 50 states.

00:02:49.586 --> 00:02:51.650
What does that translate to?

00:02:51.650 --> 00:03:02.566
Right, and what happens to the people who go there to get care, right, to get help, and so we're talking about a crisis of unprecedented proportions.

00:03:02.887 --> 00:03:04.391
Okay, now, this is the deal.

00:03:04.391 --> 00:03:08.867
You know that I am a relentless supporter of physicians everywhere.

00:03:08.867 --> 00:03:17.121
You know that I have been talking about this for almost seven years, about us building profitable businesses so we have the freedom to live life and practice medicine.

00:03:17.121 --> 00:03:18.283
I want to extend this.

00:03:18.283 --> 00:03:30.945
Okay, so we can see this now, when you build your business with the model that we talk about, the model we talk about is one that allows you to build a business that is profitable so that you are able to take care of a lot of people.

00:03:30.945 --> 00:03:34.578
Right, take care of a lot of people, whether they're clients or patients you know have.

00:03:34.578 --> 00:03:50.442
Whatever your business is set up at, you're able to do that, you're able to create financial freedom for yourself, able to create time freedom for yourself from the ground up, from you picking out your business model before you even start your practice, or to start your coaching business or speaking business, whichever.

00:03:50.442 --> 00:03:53.032
We are constantly looking at these three things.

00:03:53.032 --> 00:03:55.342
That way, you end up with a business that you love.

00:03:55.584 --> 00:04:06.996
It's interesting I was talking to a doctor who is in the Entree MD Business School scale, which is the tier for doctors, doing over a million in revenue, and I was talking about this concept and she's like you're absolutely right.

00:04:06.996 --> 00:04:10.664
When I started building my business, I you would talk about building with an exit in mind.

00:04:10.664 --> 00:04:25.636
I'm like I just got in I'm not thinking about an exit and all of those things but I did what you told me, but I was just like, well, I'm not ready to walk away from this yet, but now I'm in a season where I need to lean on my team because I'm doing more speaking, I'm out more, I want to take time off.

00:04:25.636 --> 00:04:29.583
I have stuff going on with my family and stuff like that, and I can because I built it that way.

00:04:29.583 --> 00:04:34.483
Okay, so we want that for you, we want you to have time freedom, want you to have financial freedom and all of that.

00:04:34.483 --> 00:04:35.406
We want that for you.

00:04:35.406 --> 00:04:42.548
So building a business will rock your world in the best way possible is just a beautiful experience, but this is the thing.

00:04:43.310 --> 00:04:48.182
Beyond that, there is a reason why you are a physician in this time.

00:04:48.182 --> 00:04:50.738
You could have been a physician, you know, 70 years ago.

00:04:50.738 --> 00:05:17.105
You could have been a physician 45 years from now, but you're a physician now, and the reason you're a physician now is because you have the capacity to handle what is here and you have the capacity to be part of the team that will turn it around, and there's so many different ways we can do this, but this is kind of my call to say all hands need to be on deck, not just because of us as individuals, but because of what is going on with healthcare in the United States.

00:05:17.105 --> 00:05:23.142
So if we have all these hospitals going out of business, what happens to the people that are being cared for?

00:05:23.142 --> 00:05:24.533
It is the same thing.

00:05:24.654 --> 00:05:31.293
There was a report this was many months ago where Walmart said, oh, 51 locations, we're going to shut them down Again.

00:05:31.293 --> 00:05:33.916
What happens to the patients who've been going there?

00:05:33.916 --> 00:05:36.057
Okay, so let's go back to Philadelphia, right?

00:05:36.057 --> 00:05:44.964
And you have seven hospitals that have closed down, have shut down, actually have been gutted, have been killed, okay, in the last six years, in the last six years.

00:05:44.964 --> 00:05:47.266
So the question then becomes where are those patients?

00:05:47.266 --> 00:05:52.872
Who's taking care of them?

00:05:52.872 --> 00:05:57.142
And if you think about it, then you know that there is unnecessary suffering, unnecessarily delay of care and unnecessary deaths that are happening.

00:05:57.142 --> 00:06:07.860
And so my question to you is do you want to be part of a group of people who will prevent unnecessarily delays, right, unnecessary suffering and unnecessary deaths?

00:06:08.261 --> 00:06:11.939
Okay, we can no longer go like, oh, what's going on with the system and all that?

00:06:11.939 --> 00:06:14.411
Hello, it's called a doctor patient relationship.

00:06:14.411 --> 00:06:16.476
We have to take responsibility for this.

00:06:16.476 --> 00:06:18.242
We have to ask what is my part to play?

00:06:18.242 --> 00:06:19.935
And we have to start playing that part.

00:06:19.935 --> 00:06:22.122
So I talked about this earlier.

00:06:22.122 --> 00:06:29.081
The second I saw it, I went live in the EntreMD Facebook group and if you're not a part of the group, come join us in the group, okay, and I started talking about this.

00:06:29.081 --> 00:06:31.877
I said, well, there are some things that you can do.

00:06:31.877 --> 00:06:38.942
And, guys, we no longer have the luxury of rolling over and playing dead For our lives as individuals, we don't have that luxury.

00:06:38.942 --> 00:06:44.317
But, oh my goodness, for patients, and that patient could be you, it could be me, it could be my family, it could be your family.

00:06:44.317 --> 00:06:45.699
It's real people.

00:06:45.699 --> 00:06:51.588
Okay, so let me give you three things that you can do, and not even you can do, three things that are a necessity.

00:06:51.588 --> 00:06:57.062
It would have been great if you started it five years ago, but if you didn't, today's the best next day.

00:06:57.062 --> 00:06:58.553
These are not optional things.

00:06:58.553 --> 00:06:59.757
These are not cute to have.

00:06:59.757 --> 00:07:01.240
These are things that need to happen.

00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.398
Number one Number one is doctors.

00:07:04.577 --> 00:07:07.485
It is time for us to build dominant brands.

00:07:07.485 --> 00:07:11.315
I've been saying this for seven years it is time for us to build dominant brands.

00:07:11.315 --> 00:07:15.838
It doesn't matter if you're employed, it doesn't matter if you're a coach, it doesn't matter if you run a private practice.

00:07:15.838 --> 00:07:17.773
It doesn't matter if it's insurance-based private practice.

00:07:17.773 --> 00:07:20.620
It doesn't matter if it's a cash-based private practice.

00:07:20.620 --> 00:07:21.812
It doesn't matter if you're a speaker.

00:07:21.812 --> 00:07:23.735
You're a consultant, it does not matter.

00:07:23.735 --> 00:07:24.697
I mean right.

00:07:24.737 --> 00:07:25.678
What does the saying say?

00:07:25.678 --> 00:07:36.591
That bad things happen when good people keep quiet, like we have been too quiet.

00:07:36.591 --> 00:07:38.136
We know what is going wrong and we are too quiet.

00:07:38.136 --> 00:07:39.279
We're too quiet, we haven't built the brands.

00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:40.362
So when we do speak, it doesn't have a huge impact.

00:07:40.362 --> 00:07:54.230
It is time for us to build dominant brands so we can rise up to speak up against what is going on in our healthcare space, what is going on with the insurance companies, what is going on with the hospitals, what is going on with big pharma.

00:07:54.230 --> 00:07:56.596
All of these things we have to address it.

00:07:56.596 --> 00:07:57.678
We have to.

00:07:57.678 --> 00:08:00.713
But this is the thing we have to build the dominant brand.

00:08:00.713 --> 00:08:02.437
So when we do it, it has an impact.

00:08:02.437 --> 00:08:07.656
Okay, we're here to be disruptors that we make what is going on right, like the healthcare space.

00:08:07.656 --> 00:08:09.240
We're the ones that are going to right the ship.

00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.017
But we can't do that if we're silent.

00:08:13.430 --> 00:08:15.838
So maybe you've said I'm an introvert, so am I.

00:08:15.838 --> 00:08:19.120
Maybe you said, oh, you know, I'm super shy, so was I.

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.538
Maybe you say I'm a private person, so am I.

00:08:21.538 --> 00:08:23.557
We cannot use those excuses anymore.

00:08:23.557 --> 00:08:28.401
We cannot say, oh, you know, I'm a professional person, I don't want to be on social media, I don't want to be on YouTube or whatever.

00:08:28.401 --> 00:08:30.083
We can't do that anymore.

00:08:30.083 --> 00:08:35.986
First of all, like if we even got off this conversation the level of misinformation but why is that there?

00:08:35.986 --> 00:08:38.392
Because we are quiet.

00:08:38.392 --> 00:08:39.393
Right, we're quiet.

00:08:39.393 --> 00:08:43.035
So it is time for us to build dominant brands.

00:08:43.115 --> 00:08:47.081
Now I want to give a really, really big shout out to Dr Rachel Rubin.

00:08:47.081 --> 00:09:03.376
She is a urologist fellowship trained in sexual medicine, and she has built a brand around menopause, around perimenopause, around the use of vaginal estrogen and preventing UTIs and all of these things, and she has been so vocal about it.

00:09:03.376 --> 00:09:05.998
Now, this is a thing that people weren't talking about.

00:09:05.998 --> 00:09:14.576
This is a thing that where women weren't getting the help that they needed, and this is a thing where people women were having recurring UTIs and having sepsis and dying.

00:09:14.576 --> 00:09:16.138
They were literally dying.

00:09:16.138 --> 00:09:29.009
Okay, now she builds a brand, she builds an Instagram following, she does the speaker circuit, she has a YouTube channel, she has an email list and she has talked about it over and over and over again.

00:09:29.429 --> 00:09:32.416
And then she decided, well, let's make a change.

00:09:32.416 --> 00:09:33.759
And then she reaches out.

00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:35.630
She's like how do we change the guide?

00:09:35.630 --> 00:09:37.438
How do we create guidelines for this?

00:09:37.438 --> 00:09:41.715
How do we create guidelines for the general urinary syndrome of menopause?

00:09:41.715 --> 00:09:42.837
How do we do that?

00:09:42.837 --> 00:09:44.683
And it started a process.

00:09:44.683 --> 00:09:49.278
It started a process in 2021 and she kept at it and they kept at it.

00:09:49.278 --> 00:09:50.394
You know there's a whole committee.

00:09:50.394 --> 00:09:55.181
They did all the things, they wrote it and they finally, in 2025, published guidelines.

00:09:55.181 --> 00:10:04.413
And so, instead of saying, oh, nobody's taking care of the paramenopausal women and nobody said like, instead of doing that, she's like, okay, let's go make some guidelines and get this done.

00:10:04.413 --> 00:10:08.743
And what she has done since then is she has promoted it and promoted it.

00:10:08.743 --> 00:10:17.914
The last I checked her posts to talk about, it had a million eyeballs.

00:10:17.914 --> 00:10:18.857
She has a million eyeballs on this.

00:10:18.857 --> 00:10:19.860
Why does she have a million eyeballs?

00:10:19.860 --> 00:10:27.086
Because she had built the brand, because she had built the referral base, because she has built her dream 100.

00:10:27.086 --> 00:10:28.692
That's what we call it at the business school.

00:10:28.692 --> 00:10:30.537
Because she had done all these things.

00:10:30.537 --> 00:10:39.475
She's not one physician, right, there are many physicians who were involved in this, but I mean, she threw everything behind it and she was able to make a significant change.

00:10:39.475 --> 00:10:41.542
That is what a brand will do for you.

00:10:41.769 --> 00:10:47.198
Now, when I started talking about entrepreneurship, I got dragged on social media all the time for talking about it.

00:10:47.198 --> 00:11:00.860
Right, and people are like you know, we will always have jobs, we will always have job security, and you're just, you know, like whatever they had to say, but I've been at it and at it, and through our company, through our brand, we have helped thousands of physicians.

00:11:00.860 --> 00:11:02.294
Through the entrepreneur business school.

00:11:02.294 --> 00:11:06.832
We have helped hundreds and hundreds of physicians through the profitable private practice movements.

00:11:06.832 --> 00:11:12.504
We've done that right and all of this and things are changing and the narrative is changing.

00:11:12.504 --> 00:11:14.274
That is the power of a brand.

00:11:14.735 --> 00:11:17.542
Now I've given you an example with two brands and I could go on and on.

00:11:17.542 --> 00:11:18.250
There's so many.

00:11:18.250 --> 00:11:20.437
We've had so many clients who've built phenomenal brands.

00:11:20.437 --> 00:11:24.354
But the question I want to ask you is there are a million licensed physicians.

00:11:24.354 --> 00:11:33.176
If 10% of us leveraged our brands 10% of us imagine what would happen, because everybody has a part to play.

00:11:33.176 --> 00:11:37.350
Like I'm entrepreneurship, she is menopause and all of that stuff.

00:11:37.350 --> 00:11:43.817
You may be advocacy and government and all of those things, and like all kinds of things someone else is exposing.

00:11:43.817 --> 00:11:47.351
Like really running a narrative of what is really happening with private equity.

00:11:47.351 --> 00:11:51.740
Like there's so many things that can be done, but we need all hands on deck.

00:11:51.961 --> 00:11:53.873
The time to build a dominant brand has come.

00:11:53.873 --> 00:11:55.255
Will it work for your business?

00:11:55.255 --> 00:11:57.631
Yes, will it attract new clients and patients for you?

00:11:57.631 --> 00:12:00.721
Yes, would it create the door for opportunities you didn't even think of?

00:12:00.721 --> 00:12:01.392
Absolutely.

00:12:01.692 --> 00:12:08.150
And in the time that we're in, in the crisis we're in, you get to be one of the people rewriting history.

00:12:08.150 --> 00:12:09.211
You get to be one of the.

00:12:09.211 --> 00:12:14.077
That's the first thing.

00:12:14.077 --> 00:12:17.304
So the era of oh, you know I can like, learn it.

00:12:17.304 --> 00:12:19.157
You learn the crap cycle.

00:12:19.157 --> 00:12:20.721
You learn to intubate babies.

00:12:20.721 --> 00:12:22.205
You learn to deliver babies.

00:12:22.205 --> 00:12:24.839
You learn to replace knees you can do this too.

00:12:24.839 --> 00:12:26.844
You're so excited, dr Luna.

00:12:26.844 --> 00:12:28.548
Calm down, all right, number two.

00:12:28.548 --> 00:12:39.705
Number two is and this is especially for people in private practice, but for everyone else let me tell you, there has never been a time more challenging for people to run private practices.

00:12:40.024 --> 00:12:44.707
So, whether you're in private practice or not, I want to invite you to support the doctors who are in private practice.

00:12:44.707 --> 00:12:52.240
For instance, you have private practice people in your world who don't know about the OnTermD podcast, don't know about the private practice YouTube channel that we have and all of those things.

00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.126
Share the resources with them.

00:12:54.126 --> 00:12:55.827
Don't ask them if they need it.

00:12:55.827 --> 00:12:56.587
They need it.

00:12:56.587 --> 00:12:57.067
Now.

00:12:57.187 --> 00:13:01.669
If you're in private practice, I want you to understand that you have an opportunity.

00:13:01.669 --> 00:13:12.601
You have an opportunity to serve the American people and help them to stay alive, to help them to decrease suffering, to help them to decrease delays in access to care.

00:13:12.601 --> 00:13:14.346
And how are you going to do that?

00:13:14.346 --> 00:13:17.881
You are going to do that by treating your private practice like what it is.

00:13:17.881 --> 00:13:19.384
It is a healthcare system.

00:13:19.384 --> 00:13:20.947
It is a healthcare system.

00:13:21.268 --> 00:13:28.893
It is time for you to rise as a CEO of your private practice and make it work to bring it to the point where it can serve the number of people you want it to serve.

00:13:28.893 --> 00:13:30.500
It's financially stable.

00:13:30.500 --> 00:13:31.644
It is profitable.

00:13:31.644 --> 00:13:32.940
You are leveraging your team.

00:13:32.940 --> 00:13:34.217
It can work without you.

00:13:34.217 --> 00:13:36.884
So you have the bandwidth to do even more.

00:13:36.884 --> 00:13:38.677
You have the bandwidth to disrupt.

00:13:38.677 --> 00:13:40.485
You have the bandwidth to do all of those things.

00:13:40.485 --> 00:13:49.942
So an example of what is possible so other people can see it and come into private practice, so that we can have enough empowered private practice owners, so we can go after the insurance companies.

00:13:49.961 --> 00:13:56.870
Because, guess what, without the brand and without stable private practices, we're not going to do that because everybody's figuring out how to survive.

00:13:56.870 --> 00:13:58.596
We have to go beyond that.

00:13:58.596 --> 00:14:00.259
We have to go beyond that.

00:14:00.259 --> 00:14:05.822
So please hear me when I say this Okay, even if you're, like you know, at this time I don't want to do entre empty business school.

00:14:05.822 --> 00:14:06.615
I don't want to do all of that.

00:14:06.615 --> 00:14:12.535
We built something that every private practice owner can be a part of and we did not hold anything back.

00:14:12.856 --> 00:14:14.418
It is a very valuable program.

00:14:14.418 --> 00:14:19.145
It is called the Profitable Private Practice Movement and I want to invite you to be a part of it.

00:14:19.145 --> 00:14:23.177
Listen, it is a place where you will learn how to fill your schedule.

00:14:23.177 --> 00:14:25.183
You'll learn how to get paid for the work you do.

00:14:25.183 --> 00:14:34.015
You'll learn how to leverage your team so your team is bearing the weight of the responsibility of generating revenue in your practice.

00:14:34.015 --> 00:14:43.678
It's a place where we'll show you how to optimize your revenue management system with your billers and all of those things, and how to turn the profits that you do generate into wealth.

00:14:43.678 --> 00:14:47.976
Guys, these five things like are there a million things to learn in private practice?

00:14:47.976 --> 00:14:51.966
Yes, if you master these five things, you will have a very profitable practice.

00:14:51.966 --> 00:14:54.740
You will so entremdcom forward slash movement.

00:14:54.740 --> 00:14:56.003
Go be a part of the movement.

00:14:56.003 --> 00:14:58.307
The investment is less than a cappuccino a day.

00:14:58.307 --> 00:15:02.886
It's $197 a month or $19.97 for a year, which is ridiculous.

00:15:02.886 --> 00:15:06.044
I still have friends till today telling me I've lost my mind for doing it.

00:15:06.495 --> 00:15:12.668
Go, sign up and learn what you need to learn to build a healthcare system that can work, because, guess what?

00:15:12.668 --> 00:15:14.596
The American people are depending on it.

00:15:14.596 --> 00:15:15.697
They're depending on it.

00:15:15.697 --> 00:15:17.557
Hospitals are closing left, right and center.

00:15:17.557 --> 00:15:19.538
Private practices are closing left, right and center.

00:15:19.538 --> 00:15:20.980
Where do you think these people go?

00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:22.461
Where do you think they go?

00:15:22.461 --> 00:15:25.383
Okay, so build it so it works.

00:15:25.383 --> 00:15:28.745
Okay, I don't know how to do this, no problem, learn.

00:15:28.745 --> 00:15:31.046
You're the CEO of a healthcare system.

00:15:31.046 --> 00:15:32.726
Learn, okay.

00:15:32.907 --> 00:15:36.990
The third thing we need to do is we need to grow in our capacity.

00:15:36.990 --> 00:15:42.893
Guys, it is so amazing that we spent 10 years we spent over a decade, becoming the physicians that we are.

00:15:42.893 --> 00:15:46.104
It was such a sacrifice and all of that, but we have not arrived.

00:15:46.104 --> 00:15:47.187
We have not arrived.

00:15:47.187 --> 00:15:51.525
The healthcare space is going to come knocking and it's going to say are you going to save the day?

00:15:51.525 --> 00:15:54.001
Are you going to come and save us?

00:15:54.001 --> 00:15:55.500
Are you going to come and help us?

00:15:55.500 --> 00:15:56.221
Are you going to come and save us?

00:15:56.221 --> 00:15:56.942
Are you going to come and help us?

00:15:56.942 --> 00:15:57.884
Are you going to come and roll up your sleeves?

00:15:57.884 --> 00:15:58.565
Guys, don't get me wrong.

00:15:58.565 --> 00:16:01.307
This is not about sacrificing yourself and you won't be rewarded for it.

00:16:01.307 --> 00:16:04.735
You know I talk about serving and earning, so I'm not talking about going to die or whatever.

00:16:04.735 --> 00:16:08.144
But this is the thing the healthcare space is looking for a Calvary.

00:16:08.144 --> 00:16:09.696
Will you be part of the Calvary?

00:16:09.696 --> 00:16:11.980
It may mean you need to learn to speak.

00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:17.668
You need to learn to network, you need to learn to negotiate, you need to understand how to buy practices.

00:16:17.668 --> 00:16:20.863
You need to look into advocacy at a national level.

00:16:20.863 --> 00:16:23.250
Whatever it is, you know what it is.

00:16:23.250 --> 00:16:31.336
But the thing of just saying, oh, it is what it is, we're not victims, guys, we're not victims, we're not helpless, we're not stuck.

00:16:31.336 --> 00:16:34.224
In fact, we're so not stuck that we're the answer.

00:16:34.224 --> 00:16:36.389
So we got to grow in capacity.

00:16:36.389 --> 00:16:40.318
We have to get out of this fixed mindset and into a growth mindset.

00:16:40.318 --> 00:16:41.663
We have to get out of this.

00:16:41.863 --> 00:16:50.056
I've arrived to asking the question what is the skill required for me to make my next jump, my next leap, for me to help at a different level?

00:16:50.056 --> 00:16:51.880
What is the next jump required?

00:16:51.880 --> 00:16:56.860
And you know, big shout out to the doctors in the business school, because this is what they do all day, every day.

00:16:56.860 --> 00:16:58.604
What skill do I need to stack on?

00:16:58.604 --> 00:16:59.927
What do I need to stack on?

00:16:59.927 --> 00:17:00.969
What do I need to learn?

00:17:00.969 --> 00:17:02.078
How do I need to change?

00:17:02.078 --> 00:17:03.384
Who do I need to connect to?

00:17:03.384 --> 00:17:06.855
So the whole thing of I can't do this because I don't know that.

00:17:06.855 --> 00:17:08.877
No, if you don't know it, figure it out.

00:17:08.877 --> 00:17:15.806
We have to come into this space where we're like my job is to grow, my job is to grow.

00:17:15.806 --> 00:17:17.567
My job is to get better.

00:17:17.567 --> 00:17:19.770
My job is to expand capacity.

00:17:19.770 --> 00:17:26.325
So if I haven't done it before, well, guess what I'm going to learn and I'm going to put in the reps and I'm going to do it till I become great at it and then I'll go to the next thing.

00:17:26.454 --> 00:17:28.500
The healthcare space is going to come knocking.

00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:30.566
It's going to come knocking Like will you help?

00:17:30.566 --> 00:17:49.575
No-transcript Will you be the one who is an example of what is possible, so other doctors can see that the healthcare space is looking for saviors, is looking for recovery?

00:17:49.575 --> 00:17:51.780
I know it may sound a little bizarre to you.

00:17:51.780 --> 00:17:52.323
Like, oh, like.

00:17:52.323 --> 00:17:53.405
What is she talking about?

00:17:53.405 --> 00:17:55.362
But please hear me, please.

00:17:55.362 --> 00:17:59.738
I've been talking about this stuff since 2016.

00:17:59.738 --> 00:18:00.559
I've been talking for almost a decade.

00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:01.923
It is not going to get better.

00:18:01.923 --> 00:18:04.469
Private equity is not going to stop.

00:18:04.469 --> 00:18:06.159
They're not going to stop.

00:18:06.159 --> 00:18:07.241
We will stop them.

00:18:07.241 --> 00:18:12.378
The insurance company is not going to turn around and say, oh, you know, we don't think we've been doing right by you, we're going to.

00:18:12.378 --> 00:18:13.181
No, they're not.

00:18:13.181 --> 00:18:15.223
They're going to need to be stopped.

00:18:15.223 --> 00:18:18.789
Okay, when everybody deserts the patients, we don't.

00:18:18.789 --> 00:18:26.567
Now, the way we don't desert them is by building practices that work, so we can stay in business and take care of them.

00:18:26.586 --> 00:18:27.130
So what do I want you to do?

00:18:27.130 --> 00:18:30.642
If you're a private practice owner, I want you to join the profitable private practice movement.

00:18:30.642 --> 00:18:31.925
There's no reason not to.

00:18:31.925 --> 00:18:33.637
The ROI is very clear.

00:18:33.637 --> 00:18:35.863
The time commitment is very little.

00:18:35.863 --> 00:18:38.729
The investment is insanely little.

00:18:38.729 --> 00:18:41.060
Okay, entremdicom, forward slash movement.

00:18:41.060 --> 00:18:44.882
If you're not a private practice owner, I want you to reach out to other private practice owner.

00:18:44.882 --> 00:18:45.984
I want you to encourage them.

00:18:45.984 --> 00:18:47.478
I want you to thank them for their service.

00:18:47.478 --> 00:18:49.063
I want you to thank them for their service.

00:18:49.063 --> 00:18:58.866
I want you to give them a link, say hey, come watch this video, listen to this podcast or join the movement or whatever, growing your capacity, build your brand.

00:18:58.866 --> 00:19:02.459
The healthcare space needs your brand and it needs your voice.

00:19:02.459 --> 00:19:03.742
Do that.

00:19:03.742 --> 00:19:04.986
But this is the deal.

00:19:05.255 --> 00:19:11.826
A decade from now, we can look back in utter shock and disbelief at the ridiculousness of the healthcare system in 2025.

00:19:11.826 --> 00:19:15.760
It could be so different that we'll look back in disbelief Like how did we ever tolerate that?

00:19:15.760 --> 00:19:16.978
How did we ever let that happen?

00:19:16.978 --> 00:19:19.744
How in the world were we convinced that we were victims?

00:19:19.744 --> 00:19:24.162
That could be us, but if we continue the way we are continuing, it will not be.

00:19:24.162 --> 00:19:25.644
We'll still be victims.

00:19:25.644 --> 00:19:27.189
We'll still be complaining.

00:19:27.189 --> 00:19:28.701
We'll still say, oh, you remember when?

00:19:28.701 --> 00:19:30.201
No, we can right the ship.

00:19:30.201 --> 00:19:32.102
Well, we will only right the ship if we rise up.

00:19:42.234 --> 00:19:44.542
So invitation to you to rise up and when you're done, when you make that decision, I want you to take this episode.

00:19:44.542 --> 00:19:46.349
This is not a cute oh, dr Una has to record today, so she's recording today kind of episode.

00:19:46.349 --> 00:19:46.750
No, this is not that.

00:19:46.750 --> 00:19:47.092
This is a call.

00:19:47.092 --> 00:19:48.134
This is an invitation to be part of a movement.

00:19:48.134 --> 00:19:50.499
This is an invitation to be part of the Calvary.

00:19:50.499 --> 00:19:51.380
That's what this is.

00:19:51.660 --> 00:19:55.445
And so I want you to take this and I want you to share it with every doctor you know.

00:19:55.445 --> 00:19:57.969
I want to share it in every group you're a part of.

00:19:57.969 --> 00:19:58.931
That allows you to share.

00:19:58.931 --> 00:20:01.844
I want you to go like hey, guys, let's do this.

00:20:01.844 --> 00:20:04.020
Let's build dominant brands.

00:20:04.020 --> 00:20:08.576
If we're in private practice, let's build those healthcare systems and show up like the CEOs that we are.

00:20:08.576 --> 00:20:13.124
Learn what we need to learn, join the movement and let us all grow in our capacity.

00:20:13.124 --> 00:20:15.307
All of us, all of us.

00:20:15.307 --> 00:20:16.650
No more victim.

00:20:16.650 --> 00:20:19.717
All of us, all of us, no more victim.

00:20:19.717 --> 00:20:20.159
I don't know.

00:20:20.159 --> 00:20:20.981
I didn't get a business education.

00:20:20.981 --> 00:20:21.303
Nobody told me.

00:20:21.303 --> 00:20:21.644
It's not fair.

00:20:21.644 --> 00:20:22.286
Like none of that none.

00:20:22.286 --> 00:20:26.299
We grow in our capacity to be who the healthcare space needs right now.

00:20:26.299 --> 00:20:28.888
Okay, rooting for every single one of you.

00:20:29.391 --> 00:20:33.663
Entreemd, we are a thousand percent committed to helping doctors get this done, okay.

00:20:33.663 --> 00:20:49.096
And so, whether you listen to the EntreeMD podcast or you follow the private practice channel that we started, or you read our books, or you come into the movement, or you come into the EntreeMD business school, or you come to our events, whichever, we have a gazillion ways of supporting you.

00:20:49.096 --> 00:20:57.325
You can send us a DM, or send us an email, druna D-R-U-N-A at EntreeMDcom, and say this is the kind of support I'm looking for, and we will support you.
