The EntreMD Podcast

Send us Fan Mail All entrepreneurs deal with ups and downs, tough times, pride and joy, hard work. I won't act like it's all smooth sailing. But you know what makes it easier? Connecting the work with your why. When you strive to serve and earn, and your specific goal is financial freedom to travel or to pay for a weekly cleaning service so you have more time with your family (or whateve...

Send us Fan Mail If you have found yourself wondering "is this it?" or questioning your career as a physician, you will be comforted and inspired by Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown's story. As an employed physician, she was doing well for herself, by definition. But she felt unsettled and unsure. She didn't have another idea for a business, but she knew she needed more. And after liste...

Send us Fan Mail The healthcare space has seen and will continue to see crises.  But don't fear; there is a silver lining. There is a paradigm shift, and physician entrepreneurs everywhere are capitalizing on it. How? They're setting up business systems around their own brilliance. They're monetizing their gifts. The world is benefitting and so are the physician entrepreneurs—to the...

Send us Fan Mail When you are part of the vibrant EntreMD Business School community, you always have a group of impossibility thinkers ready to workshop ideas with you. Dr. Emeka Obidi was bouncing around ideas with his small group and asked for help. They came through in a BIG way when they helped him work through some new billing and coding strategies. He's now expecting to bring in an extr...

Send us Fan Mail Imagine having the tools needed to realize and reach dreams. Dr. Brittany Panico went from burnout to building her vision of a private practice after the education and support of EntreMD Business School. Dr. Panico learned that by surrounding herself with people who shared similar vision, who shared similar goals, she could capitalize on her gifts and give more to her community. F...

Send us Fan Mail I'm here today to shake the entire physician community!! There is another way! I'm seeing doctors feeling crippled. Intimidated by insurance. Under the thumb of administration. Ready to throw away their goals, their dreams. This has to stop! We physicians are a community of the greatest humans, most capable businesspeople, most brilliant and brightest. Do not believe the...

Send us Fan Mail I have good news for you today. You might be aware that physician-owned businesses fail more often than not. (That's not the good news.) The good news is that the ones that survive the inevitable economic downturns and other adversity all have the same overarching strategy, and I have studied it up and down. In this podcast episode, I give you the 5 reasons physician-owned bu...

Send us Fan Mail Maybe a key person in your practice has left ... Maybe you're doing vitals and vaccines at your practice because at this time it's HARD to put together a reliable team that stays ... For all the physicians out there who are feeling overwhelmed due to staffing or workload or hiring issues ... Lean in. I interviewed Fatima Sparks on the EntreMD Podcast, and she got REAL ab...

Send us Fan Mail The first step to becoming the best YOU that you can be is painting the picture of your dream life. Do you dream of a 7-figure business? Don't let yourself go to a picture of failing at that dream. Will you be diligent enough to listen to those podcast episodes, read the books, find the right community, hire the right coaches, connect with the right mentors? Because that&apos...

Send us Fan Mail Social media has POWER. It has the power to skyrocket your business—even without paid advertising. In fact, I pledged to not use paid ads until EntreMD hit $1 million in revenue just to demonstrate the power of organic marketing through social media. That's the GOOD power of social media. It can be not so good, though, too. It can quickly take control of your day and invade y...

Send us Fan Mail I am a lifelong learner and always studying something. Most recently it's been the success of the Scale tier of my EntreMD Business School. Scale is the EBS branch for high earners—those seeing multiple six figures and seven figures in revenue. I started to notice themes and commonalities that give away the secrets to their great success. I'm not one to keep these things...

Send us Fan Mail Birthdays have a way of making us reflect, don't they? But on my birthday last week, I found myself looking AHEAD. Way ahead. I was thinking about what I can be doing now that will get me to where I want to be when I'm 90. It seems so far away, but the things I want for myself take time. I'm talking about things like character, health, and an attitude toward skill d...

Send us Fan Mail I'm going to give you a little pep talk. I'd like to start by saying ... YOU HAVE UNMATCHED VALUE. Your ideas, your business, your service—it's all valuable and it's exactly what this world needs. Someone (lots of someones, in fact) are looking for someone just like you, at this very moment, selling exactly what you're selling. They want it. They need it....

Send us Fan Mail Whether you have plans to sell your business or not, you want to build a sellable business. Why? Because a business that is easy to sell is a business that is desirable to keep. You win either way. But how do you up the sellability of your private practice business? Increase the profit margin. The first way to do this is to optimize your schedule —take a real look at the calendar...

Send us Fan Mail We physicians are treasure troves of content. The moment you recognize this is the moment you realize you CAN provide valuable content on a regular schedule—and promote it proudly as your followers grow. And that, in a sentence, is how I achieved 400k podcast downloads in 3 years. In today's EntreMD Podcast episode, "How I Grew My Podcast to 400,000 Downloads in 3 Years,...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever wondered if the cost of conferences is worth it? There's the financial investment, of course, but there's also opportunity cost of being away from your family, being away from work, having to travel, etc. What if I told you how to 10x the ROI so it's more than worth it to attend? Let's go! Make the decision to get something out of it (don't j...

Send us Fan Mail This weekend, I took some time to reflect on the fact that I have recorded 300 podcast episodes of the EntreMD podcast.   The stats are mind blowing.  Top 1% podcast globally.  423,000 downloads.  120 countries.  Countless lives changed. Before I go on, I want to say thank you for listening and subscribing and sharing this with your physician friends and colleagues. This is your w...

Send us Fan Mail What's the secret to building multiple streams of income simply through social media presence? No, it's not prepping a deep library of content in advance. No, it's not having training on being in front of a camera. No, it's not even about being 100% in love with and in touch with social media. That's right—you can be a physician who's never been on ca...

Send us Fan Mail Busy physician entrepreneurs have to make the most of the time they have, and that starts with reframing how they talk about their time. When you tell yourself you can't do this or that because you don't have time, your brain takes that as gospel. So instead, ask yourself HOW you can make it happen. Think of all the time you spend waiting in the car to pick up the kids f...

Send us Fan Mail I have great news for you. There are SO MANY people just waiting for you to serve them. Your business is exactly what they're looking for, and you know where they're looking? Social media. I know you don't want to hear that, but it's true—people these days turn to social media first for their information. So you have to make sure you're on the other end of...

Send us Fan Mail If you have never thought about building a 7-figure business, I really want to invite you to embrace the idea. And not because of the 7 figures, though the revenue is huge. I'm not even talking about the lives impacted, though that's also huge. The biggest reward of entrepreneurship is who you become in the process. I can guarantee you will LOVE the person you become—the...

Send us Fan Mail If the word "negotiate" stirs up anxiety and dread in you, wait until you hear what Dr. Weili Gray has to say in today's EntreMD podcast episode. She prefers to look at negotiation as a time to discuss opportunities for everyone to win. That's exactly what happened when she asked her employer about getting a scribe. Dr. Gray recognized the value this would brin...

Send us Fan Mail What, exactly, was it that took Dr. Cheruba Prabakar to the next level, where her dream of opening a private practice became a reality? Dr. Cheruba put herself in a room of examples. She had to be proactive in finding this room. It's much easier to find the rooms of people who tell you to "be careful" or "that seems like too much work." But once she got th...

Send us Fan Mail What do Ironman competitions and entrepreneurship have in common? Setting goals (really big ones), believing in yourself (even when everyone else thinks you're nuts), conquering fears, reaching goals and then reaching higher ... the list goes on and on.  And that's why I can't wait for you to hear my discussion with Dr. Alicia Shelly on this episode of the EntreMD P...

Send us Fan Mail Hate to break it to you, but your own mind is the real enemy of your business.  And that's actually good news because you can change it.  Our brilliant minds are such incredible, powerful gifts. But left undisciplined, they can work against us.  I'm willing to bet your mind has tricked you into believing that nothing is working or that you're the victim or that thin...
