The EntreMD Podcast Dr. Una

In this episode of The EntreMD Podcast, we're going to UNLEARN rather than learn.

Physicians are service-oriented by nature. But we MUST unlearn the concept of serving for free. And this is not so we can live a lavish lifestyle but because earning is critical to keeping our businesses open! 

So if you're connecting the dots here, you're seeing you must earn to continue to serve. If you truly want to continue serving patients or clients—and more patients and clients!—it's essential to your business' survival to get paid. 

Stop working for free. 

You might think you're not working for free, but it's time to take a good, hard look. 

For example, you're working for free if you don't require pay at the time of service. (Billing later doesn't work and requires time and money spent to follow up.) 

You're working for free if your client paid for a 5-session package and you're throwing in some extra sessions just because. 

You're working for free if you have a DPC practice and make yourself available all the time. Your time is worth A LOT,  and they're getting it for nothing!
Every minute spent working for free is time taken away from family, personal growth, and self-care. Physicians must consider the opportunity cost of working for free.

Working for free is expensive and prevents business growth and financial freedom. Physicians, we must stop working for free and start owning our value as physician entrepreneurs.

You will experience storms as you build your business.

When you find yourself in the middle of one, make sure you hang on tight to your vision. Don't let it go in the storm.

You will weather the storm and get back to working toward your vision—as long as you don't lose sight of it.

This is the first thing I tell EntreMD Business School students going through a storm. You cannot lose sight of your vision.

During a storm is the time to go all in and do what you can to retain that picture. I'll tell you some of the things I've done and some of the things I've taught my clients to do to hang on to that picture in this episode. You'll LOVE my strategies!

Physicians have what it takes to be the BEST entrepreneurs.
Why?
Because we have staying power. We have the ability to stick with something over time to accomplish a greater goal.
For many of us, it took a whole decade to become a physician. We took the time necessary to build those muscles little by little until we became physician bodybuilders!
And that's the exact same concept and dedication it takes for entrepreneurs to flourish.
Everything is tied to the kind of muscles we build. If you do things the lazy way or you choose to let worry take over, you are building laziness and worry.
But if you persevere through the tough and scary things, you're building that muscle of discipline.
You want to keep this image of a bodybuilder in mind. We are all bodybuilders, but the question is what kinds of muscles are we building? Do I have this body that's made of muscles of laziness, worry, inconsistency, procrastinating on marketing, procrastinating on selling, not putting myself out there, yielding to fear?
Or have I chosen to build muscle around the concepts of consistency, discipline, confidence, effort, and success?
Every time we make a decision, we are contributing to a muscle being built—and we have the power to use those muscles to our advantage in business! I show you how in this episode The EntreMD Podcast. Let's do this!

Whether you're a coach, private practice owner, or some other type of entrepreneur, events are so powerful and have so much opportunity.  I just held an in-person retreat for EntreMD Business School students, but I've held events with bouncy houses for my pediatrics practice, too!

Don't forget that we are the doctors building the most innovative, most impactful, and most profitable businesses, so the fact that nobody's done it before, doesn't mean you can't do it! You can do an open house, a grand reopening, a patient appreciation event, something in person, something virtual—you name it!

Whether you're into this or not, already doing events or not, this podcast episode is going to be so powerful for you because I go over 10 things to do to transform events, no matter where you are now! With 10 tips, there is something for everyone in this episode!

The law of gravity is that everything that goes up must come down.

When you start making breakthroughs in your business, there will be a gravitational pull to get you back to where you used to be.

When this happens, think about airplanes. They stay up even though gravity pulls down.

How?

Airplanes engage another law that is superior to the law of gravity, and that is the law of lift. The law of lift helps the plane overcome gravity.

In this podcast episode, I address just this—overcoming the things that pull you down as an entrepreneur. This happens to everyone, so share this episode with a physician entrepreneur you know—they will be forever grateful!

Who knew two days could have such transformative power?!

Two days was the length of the recent EntreMD Business School Mastermind I held in Atlanta, and WOW! What a two days it was! I jotted down 5 lessons I learned and cannot wait to share them with you here.

First of all, what you already know has the capacity to change your life. It's not always about accumulating more concepts, ideas, etc. We re-examined my tried-and-true transformational concepts and dove into them deeper. We leaned into our mindset to implement and/or audit what's getting in the way. It was incredible the impact this alone had. And that's just the beginning!

We went on to discover just how much our mindset is responsible for our results. Part of that is having a growth mindset where you go to meetings and conferences hungry for transformation.

I always say your network is your net worth, and this was very much the case at the mastermind. It was the most incredible room to be in. When it comes time to invest in yourself, whether that's going to masterminds like ours or joining EBS, your mind will play elaborate tricks on you—telling you it's not necessary or you don't deserve it. Forget that! You are your highest-performing asset! Of course you deserve the support you need to follow your dreams!

Start here with today's episode—you will be so glad listened to it!
