Are you ready to completely transform your business and life in just 6 hours? 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 7 key lessons that I learned from hosting EntreMD Live 2025. 

Over the years, EntreMD Live has evolved from a simple event to an entire movement. It’s where physicians come together to break free from the burnout of traditional practice and embrace a life and business built on their own terms. During these years, I’ve learned that success doesn’t come by chance… 

It comes from being in the right environment, having the right mindset, and making the right decisions. That’s why today, I’m sharing some of the EntreMD Live magic with you!

Tune in.

Speaker 1:

What happens when people come into the EntreeMD business? I mean all the way into that. They can launch a business, they can grow a business, they can scale a business, they can build a team that ultimately can run the business without them setting themselves up to be able to exit their businesses if they want and because they have their time back. You can focus on their health, they can focus on their marriages, they can focus on their children, they can focus on hobbies.

Speaker 2:

They can do all of these things. 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. I'm your host, Dr Imna, Today.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to take you behind the scenes of my business and share with you some really powerful lessons that we learned. So recently, I hosted Entremdi Live 2025, which was our seventh one. Right, the first one was in 2019. And when I started, when I did that first event, there was no Entremdi podcast. We hadn't written any books, there was no Entremdi business school. In fact, I had not even had any group programs up until that event. I was doing one-on-one coaching at the time and, over seven events, we now have something that's very different. We have the top 1% podcast, we have five bestselling books, we have the EntreeMD business school, which is about to turn five years old in a little bit, and we have the EntreMD Business School, which is about to turn five years old, like you know, in a little bit. And we have the Profitable Private Practice Movement and we have so many things. We launched the National Private Practice Physician Day. So many things have happened, and so you know, this event was our best one. We had, you know, doctors flying from all over the country. We had doctors flying from the Bahamas. We had four doctors come from the Bahamas. It was just so magical.

Speaker 1:

And I want to take you behind the scenes because, as always with an event, I take a moment to debrief and I wrote out 25 things that happened at the event that I was really grateful for. But today what I want to share with you is seven business and life lessons that I learned from hosting EntreeMD Live and, while you may not be looking to do an event, these are really business lessons and life lessons that would matter irrespective of the type of business you're running and the projects that you have. So I really want you to lean into this as I pull the curtain back a little, so let me give you seven lessons. Okay, the very first lesson is this the very first lesson I learned is that people can change dramatically and irreparably in six hours. It can be transformed in six hours. So I remember now this event was 10 AM to 4 PM, even though many people didn't leave till 6 PM. They were networking and doing all of that, including the introverts, but it was amazing to see people come in one way and from this stage, I could see light bulbs go off. I can see in conversation. I could see light bulbs go off and all of this, and it was just amazing to see, and I'll tell you why. This is a very powerful lesson in a second.

Speaker 1:

And so you know what people need. What people need is an environment where they're challenged, where the status quo is challenged, where they have pictures of a preferred future put in front of them. They have people who are that preferred future in the room with them and you'll find that people we're really like Play-Doh. We're really like Play-Doh. We can start off one way and we can become a different way. And so there is this thing that's ingrained in us in aoh. We're really like Play-Doh. We can start off one way and we can become a different way.

Speaker 1:

And so there is this thing that's ingrained in us. In a way, we're physicians, I am the way I am, and if there's something I can't do, I'm never going to be able to do it, and if there's a way I don't think, or if there's a life I don't have, I can't have it. I can't think that way. We're literally like Plato. And so I had a doctor walk up to me and he said to me he said, dr Una, I want to thank you. I want to thank you for opening my eyes to possibilities that I didn't even know existed. He said I had a practice before I had to shut it down.

Speaker 1:

I went back to work because I had bills to pay and all of that stuff and I've been toying with the idea of restarting my practice and now I know, oh my goodness, I can start it, I can thrive at it. And I'd had this whole mindset of I'm going to stay and I'm going to hustle and grind and even if I have to give up nights and weekends and all of those things, it will be worth it in the end, the sacrificial way we do things. And of course he understands he has to work hard. I understand that he has to work hard, but, oh my goodness, he can do that and have a dream life, right, like you can do it in a way where he has a dream life and he's like I just realized I don't have to give up my life to do this, I can still have a life. And all of that all in six hours, all in six hours. And so I could see that go, like I could tell you story after story and the transformation that they experienced in that six hour period.

Speaker 1:

And so what this means and with each lesson I'm going to tell you what that means, what that meant for me, what it should mean for you, what it could mean for you and for me. What it meant is we can change so radically in such a short period of time. So my job is to constantly reject the status quo and constantly reject that the way I am, you know, that's all there is, and to constantly put myself in rooms that facilitate that transformation. Okay, so I would love for you to walk away from this episode thinking I can change, I can change, like in a day, I can change. In a day I can change. So the things I've accepted as well. I guess that's just the way it is. Now my job is to reject those things. Now your job is to reject those things and constantly ask yourself what is the room that will facilitate my radical transformation? What is the room that will put me in a position where, every six hour block, I'm different, right? So that's the first lesson that I learned. The second lesson I learned is that a rockstar team is the secret. Right Is the secret to massive impact and time freedom. Okay Now.

Speaker 1:

So I want to give a big shout out to a number of people because this EntreeMD Live now, usually when I do EntreeMD Live, I'm speaking for most of the six hours and I mean, I've done three day events where I spoke with the entire time. So it's not, you know, it's not, it's not a problem for me, but this time it was very fascinating because we used a team approach. I had Namdi Chinnamen. We've had him on the podcast and if you missed his episode on AI and all of that stuff, you want to catch that. But he was our, you know, he was a guest speaker and he did a session on AI how to leverage AI to build a $250,000 team for $20, right and so he did that session. He also did a session on how to, you know, grow and scale your private practice leveraging data right and so I had him do some sessions. I had Dr Toomer, catherine Toomer, she did a session for the DPC docs, the cash-based clinic, like how to master the cash-based model, which, again, is something that she's done.

Speaker 1:

It's her bread and butter as far as cash-based practices go. And then Dr Foley, who is a urogynecologist, who is a true entrepreneur. He hosted the session with the entrepreneurs. It was so amazing. Then Makeda, who has done millions of dollars in sales, had hosted the session for the coaches, showing them how to sell, right, and so all of these things were happening. Now guess what that meant for me? And then we had Dr Beckford. Dr Beckford hosted the success panel, the case studies where we looked at physician entrepreneurs and the results they've created that have been in the entrepreneur business school, and all of that.

Speaker 1:

And so, for the first time, we had an event where it was six hours. It was high level, it was our best one yet, and I spoke for two hours, right, and you may be listening to this and you're a private practice owner, right? What does that mean for you? If you leverage your team properly, the things that take you 10 hours, could they take you five hours. Could they take you six hours? Could they take you four hours if you leverage your team, right?

Speaker 1:

And so, so they did such a phenomenal job, and I was walking around and looking at it and just being in awe of all the things my people are doing, and not only that, it wasn't even just in the programming, but I never saw the lobby. They set it up, they tore it down. I came in through the back and came into the green room. So I never saw the lobby, but everything was set up, the number of people who walked up to me and it's like, oh my goodness, the way we were greeted, the way we were welcomed and all of those things. It was a team of volunteers who did that.

Speaker 1:

I didn't know anything about the food, I didn't know anything about how they were setting up the breakup rooms. I didn't know like I was ignorant about a ton of stuff, except the stuff that I needed to do, and so I want you to think about it where we had the biggest impact and I did it in the least amount of time, right, and what was the key to that? It was a rockstar team, right? That's what that was. And so what does that mean for me? What does that mean for you? What's the lesson here? The lesson here is that I will continue to do the work. Right, I will continue to do the work, or what's my conclusion? More like, I will continue to do the work of building a rockstar team. It is work to build a rockstar team, but your rockstar team is the only pathway to massive impact and freedom, right? Okay, amazing, big shout out to all the volunteers and stuff like that. It was so amazing, all right, so that's lesson number two.

Speaker 1:

Lesson number three. I have this rule that I function by and it's 80% marketing, and when I say that's more marketing and sales, but it's 80% marketing, 20% creation Okay, and the lesson? The third lesson is that rule works the 80% marketing and 20% creation. Okay, and the lesson? The third lesson is that rule works the 80% marketing and 20% creation rule works. Now let me give you a little bit of context here.

Speaker 1:

As entrepreneurs, one of the things we love to do is we love to create. Entrepreneurs love to create. Oh, I have this new product, this new vertical, this new landing page, this new, all of that stuff. Guess what Most entrepreneurs also do not like to do? They don't like to sell, they don't like to market and all of those things. So they fall in love with their product. They spend forever creating the product and then nobody uses it because they did not take the time to sell it. And we have this deeply engraved deceptive thought that if our product is good, it will sell itself. And it is not true. It has never been true. It is not true. Save yourself from the deception. It is not true. A great product will still need to be sold, greatly right, if it's going to get into the hands of a lot of people. Selling is required. You don't make a good product and it makes up for no selling. The same way, you don't work out and it would make up for your crazy diet. Like it doesn't work that way, right, like you have to do both, okay. So for us we did.

Speaker 1:

This was a little unique because usually for the past six years or so I'm trying to be, live has been primarily virtual, right, like primarily virtual, and things like that. Last year was the first year that we said, okay, you know, since I'm going to record it, I don't want to record in my office, I use my office all the time Let me just record it like a studio recording, right, so it's in a different space, different energy, all of those things. And then, after I made that decision, I was like, wait, that would be weird, being in a really large auditorium with the great screens and all of that stuff. I was like, why don't I get a viewing audience? Okay, so it was like a hybrid of sorts, but it was primarily virtual. And there are some people who came into the room.

Speaker 1:

Now this year is the first year where, like in-person only, and the reason for that decision is, you know, for me, I do a lot of workshops, I do a lot of virtual things, and I said, you know EntreMD Live, if a doctor will attend it and allow it, it can change their lives forever. But there's a tendency to treat it like, oh yeah, it's one of Dr Una's workshops, or whatever I'll catch, I'll get the recording, I'll get the replay. And I know, like my goodness, if you're in the room and you get the content, you get the networking, you get all of these things, you will be different. Like I know this, like Like I know it. And so I had to make the decision like, do I want to help people by repositioning the way they think about EntreMD Live so they can get the most out of it, or do I want to just continue doing what I'm doing? And so I made the decision that it was going to be in-person only, and I guess, as a sidebar, that's also for you.

Speaker 1:

Like there will come times in your business where you need to do things in a different way from the way you've always done it, and it requires some courage, right? Because what if it doesn't work? What if you get the people you want? Blah, blah, blah, all of those things, right, okay, so we made this decision and a lot of people, a great, a good number of people, assumed that I was a sales ploy and then, towards the end, I would then open up virtual tickets and I'm like no, like, really it's an in-person experience because I want you to get the networking. For instance, ultramd Live, the average revenue of the physicians in the room, as far as business revenue, was $575,000. I want you to be in that room. I want you to experience the people in that room. I want you to hear the way they think. I want you to see the way they're living. I want you to see all of that I want you to experience, I want you to grow your network, all of those things. You're not going to do that virtually.

Speaker 1:

And we also had a number of projects and I knew, right, like I knew, we had a number of projects and we had a number of, you know, workshops that we did that were almost a monthly. We had all these things happening, like in the months leading up to Entremdy Live. So I knew that I had like, really, may May was the month to promote Entremdy Live, right, which is weird for an in-person event, right? Especially since most people would travel. So, anyway, but I knew, and so I knew we'd have to make up for it with even more marketing. And so we promoted, we marketed, we sold, we used different ways, we did social media, email text like the whole nine yards, the follow-up, everything, and we did a ton of that.

Speaker 1:

Now does that mean we were sloppy in execution? Because 80% marketing, 20% content no, we were excellent in execution. Now we're not perfect in execution. We're excellent. Excellent means doing the absolute best with what you have available to you. At the time we were excellent. We left it all out there, okay. But we spent an extraordinary amount of time promoting the event, okay. And sometimes we do that for three days in a row and nobody will buy any tickets and then we'll keep going out day four, x number of people buy and all of those things. And so we ended up with 75 docs in the room. 25 of them were VIP, and then you know 50, 50 of them were general admission, again, flying in from all over the country, and we actually had four doctors come from the Bahamas, okay. So really nice size room, people are able to connect and do all of those things, and we got what we wanted. Okay, so marketing.

Speaker 1:

So, whatever your product is, whatever your services, whatever it is that you do, I want to invite you to start thinking this way. Okay, when you decide, oh, I want to start a new line of something, okay, so we had there was a doctor who recently said, oh, you know, I want to start a skincare line and all this stuff. Do you think it would work? And my answer is really simple. I was like if you're willing to start a business, if you're willing to treat this as a business, not something you're excited to create, which means you understand that it will be 80% marketing and 20% creation and it could work but if you're going to create it because you're excited to create it and the world needs it, nobody's going to buy it. Nobody's going to create it. Because you're excited to create it and the world needs it, nobody's going to buy it. Nobody's going to buy it. And I've seen so many businesses go out of businesses because the entrepreneur in charge is in resistance and does not believe they need to do the work to market. It never works. Okay, all right. So that's number three.

Speaker 1:

Number four the fourth lesson I learned is that you never truly know the impact of your work. If you are a content creator right Now, this is for every entrepreneur, but I wanna put the content creation part front and center. If you're a content creator, you'll never really know, and when I say content creation, I'm talking about transformational content. For instance, I don't show up on social media because I'm a content creator. I come on social media because I need to reach 100,000 physicians and I need to give them whatever it is I need to give them so that they can build profitable businesses and live life on practice medicine on their terms, so that they, in turn, will turn the rest of the physician community right side up Right. And so I look like a content creator. But I'm not a content creator, I'm not an influencer, I'm a disruptor, right, and so I'm not confused about that. But you will never really know, okay. So I wrote down a few things. I won't forget them because there are a number of things you know.

Speaker 1:

People said many people walked up to me that like, oh my goodness, I listened to your podcast and I had the courage to start my business. So I walked up to me this is Dr Christine Parker. Big shout out to you, to you. She's in the Bahamas and she's like I read your book and I got the courage to write my own book, right. Someone else walked up to me and said when I see you on social media as a physician, as a female African-American physician, showing up dominating on social media, dominating on stage, it lets me know that I can do that. There are people who are. There's someone else who is like I've seen your clients, I've seen the doctors in the entrepreneur business school killing it, and they're proof to me that I can kill it too. And this doctor is actually. I'm coming into the school as well because I've watched it from afar.

Speaker 1:

And so now, and so many other people are like you know, thank you for talking about not only building businesses that are doing well, but doing it and building our dream lives, and so because of that, as a mother, I'm able to enjoy my family relationships, have time for my family, have time for myself while doing the work of building this business and stuff like that. And these are people I've never before then I had never directly spoken to. These are people that I didn't necessarily know, many of them, and things like that. But look at the impact right, there's all this impact because I have been putting content out there and serving people and doing all these things. And so I say that to say, sometimes, when you're creating content on social media or you're recording for YouTube or you're doing all these guest interviews, you may think it's not working. All work works. All work works right, and so you don't know whose life out there is being changed and you don't know how many lives they are going on to change and all of those things. And so for me, you know, what I walked away from this with is just this concept of constantly and relentlessly doing the work that I need to do to accomplish my mission. So, whether it seems like it's working or not, now, that doesn't mean I don't optimize, I don't ask questions and all of those things, but I don't get bent out of shape because all work works. It's always working Right. So that was very powerful for me. So your content you have no idea what it's doing, so keep doing it, keep doing it, okay.

Speaker 1:

Number five this one was a lot of fun, and number five is giving your kids portable wealth is important, okay, so there's this concept that I learned early on, that you know when you're leaving a legacy, when you're leaving an inheritance, for instance, for your kids or family members. You know whoever that is. You can give them the dollars, or you can give them the thing that created the dollars, or you can give them the best of both worlds and give them both, but the thing that created the doll is that's called portable wealth. So, for instance, in my case, I can give my children houses, I can give them investment funds, I can give them all kinds of things, or and I can give them the things that created those things, right, like so skills that can be monetized. So skills like speaking, skills like selling, skills like creating content all of these things are things that I can give my children, understanding that it's not the fruit, it's not money, but it's the tree that produces the fruit, and so it's so important to do that.

Speaker 1:

So for my daughter my first daughter, cheta, who is 17, I decided that this year I wanted her to master speaking, master selling and master building collaborative relationships right, so that's part of her business curriculum. That's what I wanted her to learn, and so one of the things we did is I had her start going live every week. She started off in the EntreMD Facebook group and then, after a number of weeks. I started having her do it on my personal page and on our YouTube channel and you can go check any of these. I started having her do it on my personal page and on our YouTube channel and you can go check any of these so you can see her interviews, you can share it with your kids, whichever right. So she's been doing these things right.

Speaker 1:

So the origin of it is, you know, I said I have had some fears and you know things that I consider disadvantages and things I was terrified of doing, and I'm like it's going to be one per household. I'm going to make sure my kids don't have those fears. So I started putting her on stages when she was nine and my thought process was you know, before you even realize that you should be afraid of being on a stage or public speaking, the fear of public speaking is the number one phobia of adults everywhere in the world. By the time you realize that you already be so used to being on stage, they'd be like huh, who would have thunk it Right. So that was kind of my, that was my thought process.

Speaker 1:

And so the day before on Trinity live, so in the afternoon, right Friday afternoon, I woke up to her. I'm like, oh, you're doing my introduction tomorrow at on Trinity life. She's like, oh, okay, well, so I'm not the kind of mom you say I don't want to, right. So I told her that she's like, oh, okay, and I didn't give her a framework, I didn't give her anything, I just said that's what you're doing. And so when it was time to go up, we had, you know, makita came and kind of welcomed everybody. I had them look at a video. We had this video that played like a mini documentary or so for about nine minutes.

Speaker 1:

And then she gets up on stage and oh, my goodness, it was so powerful, it was so good, it was inspiring and it was funny and it was down to earth and she took the crowd along and she, I mean, it was really good. I'm not going to spoil it any more than that, I'll let you see it, but it was so good In that moment. I just remember sitting. I was like my goodness, here she is on a stage talking to 75 doctors who flew in from all over the country and from outside the country, and she's just comfortable in her skin, like I wasn't even like that in my thirties, right, comfortable in her skin, owning the stage and all of those things.

Speaker 1:

In that moment I just thought, man, portable wealth is important. That's a skill nobody can take away from her. She can use that and monetize it and do all kinds of things right? And so I started thinking about it. I said, okay, what are the things that made it possible for her to do that? And one is the reps. Right, she's been going live every week for six months. Well, for five months, every single week, and initially they were solo. And then after a while, I flipped it right, because one of the things were those collaborative relationships. And so then I had her start interviewing the doctors in the Ontario MD Business School and so, when I thought about it, her on stage, while she's doing what she does, which is speaking, she's talking to people she talks to anyway, because she does these interviews every week and all of these things, and it's like this is just magical.

Speaker 1:

And so sometimes, as an entrepreneur, you're like, am I stealing away from time that I could spend with my kids and all of those things? My solution to that was to bring my kids into my business. So we're having quality time when I'm in the business and we're having quality time outside of the business and I have an opportunity to mentor them and teach them the things that I know Right, and so you know, for me that was a really powerful lesson, and you know what I walked away from that with is I need to influence even more for them to put in reps, like whatever it is that we're like, oh, we want them to be able to do this. We need to set the stage more for them to put in reps, like whatever it is that we're like, oh, we want them to be able to do this. We need to set the stage for them to be able to put in reps. Okay, number six. Number six is a little mushy one, and that's this. Being poured into is a blessing, being poured into is a blessing.

Speaker 1:

There are a few things that happened during the events that made me say, man, I need to look into this more and I need to be okay with receiving this and giving this more. Okay. So a number of things. I had two of my friends, their clients, the start office clients, and we're friends Dr Chia Ghazi of Savvy Docs and Dr Latifahed of MoneyFitMD. So big shout out to you. They're probably going to kill me that I put them on blast, but anyway, and you know so, they flew in from New York and California, you know. I know they know like EntreeMD will be high value and the execution of it will be inspiring and all of those things I know. But I also know, I suspect, that the bigger reason why they came was to support me. You know, the bigger reason why they came was to be there for me and you know I really appreciated that Right. And they came and I mean they got gifts for me and for my kids and for my mom. You know what I mean and it was just really nice to be seen. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

I had another doctor, dr Amaka Namani big shout out to her. And you know she came and she got me a bag of gifts and stuff like that. And her mom had an outfit like made for me, right Like. And her mom had an outfit like made for me, right Like, one of these, you know, african caftan like things so cute. I wore it to church the next day and she's like here, you know she got this for me and it's her mom that got it for me and stuff like that. And I was like, oh, my goodness, that is so wild, you know.

Speaker 1:

And then I had Dr Crystal Nelson. She's an amazing rockstar doc. She's a psychiatrist here in Georgia. She's an alumni of the EntreMD Business School and it's so fun, you know, because I think at the time I'm recording this she's on vacation in Hawaii. She's like Dr Una, the things you talk about they work. Like I'm about to go away for two weeks and my practice is going to be running perfectly fine without me, right, and stuff like that. But she walked up to me and she said something so, so, so powerful. And she said Dr Una, you say this to people all the time, all the time, and I think you should hear it for you. And she says I am so proud of you.

Speaker 1:

And, to put this in context, when I did my first business event so this is pre-EntreeMD I did, I think it's I called it Live your Dreams, the Live your Dreams Conference, and this was before we launched EntreeMD. And she came for that event, right, and it was for all entrepreneurs I had not niched down to just physicians at this point right, and she's like for you to have an idea and take the idea and execute on it relentlessly until you build it into this. This is amazing and I'm so proud of you. She's like I'm sure there were challenges, I'm sure there were headaches with this, but you're doing it. And again, that was. It was just really nice. It was really nice to be the recipient of that. And, dr Nelson, thank you. I said thank you there. I say thank you again.

Speaker 1:

And then Dr Christine she's one of the doctors who came from the Bahamas and she wrote a book and she gave me a signed copy of the book. It's on my nightstand and stuff like that. And she's like you're the inspiration. And I don't mean like I'm the only reason she wrote a book or whatever, but something about it was inspiring. And I had another friend, dr Myosha. Okay, so fun fact, she's not a doctor, but she's on my email list and she's like I love your emails because they're like Dr Myosha, I just love it.

Speaker 1:

But she's a tech genius. Okay, she owns a tech firm and she does government contracts and all this kind of stuff. She's like hey, how are you doing all this stuff? I'm like great, I'm gearing up for my. Oh, entreemd Live is going to be amazing. I might just fly down to Georgia. I'm like don't tempt me, that's not a temptation, I'm going to resist. And she says no, no, I'm serious, I'm like I'm on the United app right now. She bought a ticket and she came down and all of that stuff. It was just nice. It was just nice and it just kind of made me lean into this whole concept of we're people and we're relational beings and we need people and people need us, and the world is so much better with relationships in them.

Speaker 1:

And so the commitment I walked away with after looking at that lesson was I'm going to be more intentional about pouring into people and I'm going to allow myself be more open to receiving that Like usually I'd brush it off or not, you know, not make it a thing or whatever, but it's there for a reason, you know, and so so I want to challenge you with the same thing. If you notice, I started with poor and then receive right. Just start seeing people, and maybe there are people who've supported you in the past. You know. Send them a thank you card or send them a text or whatever. Somebody inspired you to do something. Share that thing with them. You know, somebody was there when it was a dark time for you. You know. Go back and thank them. Maybe you have team members, whatever it is you know.

Speaker 1:

And then also, when somebody's trying to pour into you, don't stop them, don't brush it off like, sit in it and receive it. It's a good thing and we need that right. We need that, okay, all right, so that's the mushy one, it's what we need and you know, like with the Entree and Be Business School, one of the things I'm proudest of is the community that we've built, and it's a community where it's collaboration over competition and so people can pour into each other. They can give and receive that from people who are pushing their lives forward and building their dream businesses while building their dream lives. It brings multiplication to your life. It helps you navigate storms better because you have the support. It helps you dream bigger. It gives you. Sometimes it's the gas you needed to keep going.

Speaker 1:

I remember when I started my private practice and I was probably a few weeks in and wondering what I had done and if this was a mistake, because I didn't have any patients, because I hung the shingle and thought they would come. And I remember Dr Strobov he's a pediatric surgeon in Georgia and I remember him walking into my office. I was like oh, my goodness, wow, you started a practice. You must have a lot of guts, because it is so hard to be a private practice owner these days. And like imagine this conversation in 2010,. Right. And then, after saying all those things, he said well, this is the thing.

Speaker 1:

When I started my private practice, I was scared spitless. I didn't think it would work and all of those things, right. And just imagine hearing that from a surgeon who's a very well-established surgeon, like at the time, right. And he's like but hang in there, this is going to work. Just hang in there. It's scary in the beginning, but this is going to work. What he didn't know is how discouraged I was when he walked in, and today I'm like God must have sent him An angel, must have ordered his footsteps to my office. He's an angel, like, it's something, because that was the fire that I needed to keep going, right. And so your words of encouragement, don't treat those casually. They're people who need them. Like, pour into people and then receive it. Okay, all right.

Speaker 1:

So number seven, the seventh lesson, is not selling is a disservice. Not selling is a disservice, right? You know, when I was younger, in as an entrepreneur, it was really hard for me to. You know, tell people of what I do and tell them to come work with me and tell them fill out this form. You know, swipe your card here and stuff like that. But Entremd Live was so magical and so beautiful. But I know it's a day. I know it's a day and I'm like, okay, what do we do to continue this momentum? What do we do to continue to implement on this? What do we do to put you in an environment where it is most likely that you'll succeed and I know what that is is the EntreMD Business School. And at this point, the EntreMD Business School is not we're not, we didn't. It's not a minimum viable product, it's not a thing where testing has been around for five years.

Speaker 1:

It has helped tons of doctors build six figure, seven figure, multiple, seven figure businesses, helped the doctor get her first seven figure month. All of these things and the people. They are happier, they are able to navigate challenges better and they will tell you like every aspect of my life is getting better it's not just my business Like my life is getting better. My marriage is better, my relationship with my kids is better, my health is better, like all of these things. I know that right, I am proud of myself for not letting any limiting beliefs get in the way or whatever.

Speaker 1:

And I, confidently and boldly, was like this is a container where you need to be If you are a doctor who wants to build a wildly successful business and you want to build a team that can build a business so you can get your time back and you want to live life on your terms and you want to make the least number of mistakes. Because the thing with you know people say ignorance is bliss, but it's not. Because the thing with you know people say ignorance is bliss but it's not right, it's expensive in business, right, for every mistake has, almost every mistake has financial implications and I'm like you can save a ton of money by coming here and investing in the Entrez Business School and staying here where you know you can get, you know the information you need and all of those things. And if I didn't sell, I would let them go home with EntreeMD Live with no support system for them to continue. Because I'm like, if you can change in six hours, what could happen if you're in a container for a year or two years or three years? Because the thing is this like? The EntreeMD Business School is almost five years old and there are people who've been in the Ontario Business School since the beginning. But this is the deal A number of them have gone from.

Speaker 1:

I'm an employed physician, I've built my brand. I started to practice. I hit six figures. I had multiple six figures. I hit seven figures. I hit multiple seven figures. They've stayed in long and they just keep going because there's still progress to be had, there's still time to buy back, there's still team to build, there's still all these things to do, right. And so I know like six hours is powerful and anybody who takes even 30% of what we did and executes on that will have a brand new life in 90 days. Like brand new right.

Speaker 1:

But then if you keep the level of transformation that happened at EntreMD Live and you continue that on a daily and weekly basis for months and years, then what happens? Right? I'm so proud of the doctors who said yes and who were coming to EntreMD Business School. They get to be in the first session in the EntreMD Business School with their classmates tomorrow. It's going to be so, so, so fun. I'm so proud of them, but anyway.

Speaker 1:

So what does that mean for me, it is sell, sell, figure out right. This may be me telling you now, like figure out how to fall in love with selling. And how did I fall in love with selling? I fell in love with selling, with falling in love, or rather being hyper aware of what happens when people come into my container, like what happens when people come into the EntreeMD business school. I lean all the way into that. So it's not about me. It's not about me manipulating people. It's not about me taking advantage of people. It's not about me taking people's money. It's not about any of that. It's about my goodness.

Speaker 1:

They can launch a business. They can grow a business. They can scale a business. They can build a team. They can build a team that ultimately can run the business without them. They're setting themselves up to be able to exit their businesses If they want. They have their dream life back and because they have their time back, you can focus on their health. They can focus on their marriages. They can focus on their children. They can focus on hobbies. They can do all of these things. They will find themselves. They will become entrepreneurs. They don't just have a checklist and they built a business. No, they become entrepreneurs, which means they can launch another vertical, another business, and all of this. They become confident speakers, they start attracting unusual opportunities. They don't get thrown off by challenges anymore. They can weather storms when that container can do that, and they acquire a whole bunch of new friends and colleagues and people that will open doors for them. And all of that when I know they can do that.

Speaker 1:

I'm like, please, you have to be in the On Trending Business School. You have to be. This is a place where doctors who are crushing it go to win. This is where they get the world-class mentorship. This is where they get access to the EBS Commonwealth, which is a community filled with rockstar physicians. This is where they do all of that stuff. All right, so these are my seven lessons that I've learned. These are seven lessons that will serve you really well If you got a whole lot out of it. I want you to take a screenshot of this and share your favorite lesson and ask people to come watch the episode. Okay, and that's you amplifying this, because think about it, what if a hundred thousand physicians knew this? What will happen in their businesses as they apply this? What will happen in their lives as they apply this right. So take a screenshot of it, share your favorite one of the lessons and tell people to come watch or come listen to get the rest of the lessons. Okay, I am rooting for you. I want you to know this. You're a physician. I am rooting for you and I trust that you win.

Speaker 1:

And if you've been thinking about the EntreeMD business school, well, now is your time, like. Now is your time to come join us. Now is your time to say hey, you know, I want to do this, like. I mean, I want to build a dream life. I want to build my dream business. I want to build a team. I want to increase my revenue and increase my profits. I want to be confident as an entrepreneur. I want to know how to manage my time. I want to know how to set goals and achieve them. I want to know how to be different every 90 days. I'm tired of doing this alone. I'm tired of being with people who are discouraging me. I want to be in a community of people who encourage me, who cheer me on, whose lives and businesses will be vision boards for me, who will inspire me just by being like. That's what I want. That's what I want and that's what you want. You come join the Entremdi business school. Okay, so where you would go to turn in your application will be entremdicom forward slash business, and we would love, love, love to have you in the school.

Speaker 1:

Okay and regardless, I'm rooting for every single one of you. I'm rooting for you. Listening to me, I want you to take these lessons, but I think the one I want you to take to heart the most is you can change in six hours. Just think about it. You can change in six hours, which means you can change every week. It means you can change every 90 days. Every 90 days, your change can be so obvious that not only do you know, but the people in your world are like what is going on with you. I've had people tell me their spouses are like what is happening with you, not complaining because they're like I like this version of you, but what is going on? And I want that for you. Okay, so I'm rooting for you. Make sure you take the screenshot, share it on your social media, type in there the lesson you value the most and put the link so people can come watch the rest of them. And I'll see you on the next episode of the. I'm Sharing the Podcast.
