Embracing Visibility: How Entrepreneurial Doctors Can Shine and Lead in the Business World

If your business isn't working the way you expected, it's not because you're bad at business. It's because no one ever taught you how it actually works. We were trained to master algorithms in medicine, but when it comes to revenue teams and growth, we were never taught anything. We weren't even told to figure it out. We just assumed somehow we'd know, like it would magically make sense. But it doesn't. The era of the Seven Figure Physician CEO is here. And it's not about working harder. It's about learning entrepreneurship as a system. The same way you mastered ACLs and pals, you can master the algorithm of building a profitable scalable business. That's why I recorded the Seven Figure Physician CEO audiobook. Whether you're building a medical or non medical business, and whether your goal is your first million, first 2 million, first 5 million, first 10 million, this is where the journey starts. There is no Calvary coming to save us. We are the Calvary. So. So go get your audiobook now. Www.entremd.com 7Figurebook. And let's rewrite the narrative for physicians starting today.

If you've ever felt nervous about putting yourself out there, putting your business out there, promoting what you do, inviting people to work with you, going to speak on stages, posting on social media, being a guest on podcasts, if that is something that makes you nervous, so much so that you're like, I'm just a private person. I don't want to have to do that. That you're going to absolutely love this episode. I was a guest coach in a program and I had the most phenomenal time. I mean, I'm talking to doctors about entrepreneurship, so what's not, you know, what's there not to love? And I remember talking to one of the doctors and she was asking about how, you know, the things she does in her business, how she could put it out there so she could be in front of a lot more people and help more people. And we started talking about it, and somewhere along the line I made this statement. I was like, you know, because at the end of the day, this is all about how do I make myself more visible. And the second I said that, you know, the look on her face told me that, oh, my goodness, I don't want to have anything to do with visibility. I want to help people, but I don't want to be more visible. I don't want to put myself out there on social media and all of those things. And, you know, we had a conversation around that, which I, I figured would be really great for you to hear and it will set you free to really go all in on, you know, what your business is, how you help people, the impact you want to leave and all of them. And so this is the deal at the end of the day, I mean, our businesses are a means to an end, right? Your business does not just exist because that's just something you do. Your business exists because they, there are people with a really real pain that your business brings a solution to. I want you to think about this. Your business helps people who have a real pain get a solution. So yes, there's a transaction, there's the exchange of, you know, money and value and all of those kind of things. But at the core, this is what, this is what you do. And so think about it this way. Your business is an entity that helps other people who are in pain get a solution. And because you do that, you get a thank you note called money. That's, that's, that's really what entrepreneurship is. So if that's the case, this is the way to look at that. There are people, let me use myself as an example, there are doctors who are building businesses and maybe they've crossed the hundred $thousand mark, $250,000 mark, maybe they've crossed the million dollar mark and they don't know how to take their business to the next step. They don't know what steps to take. They feel like, you know, they're frauds because they're not really, quote, unquote entrepreneurs. They didn't go to business school most of the time. They don't feel like they know what they're doing. They struggle to build teams, they struggle to, you know, optimize their profits or really control their revenue. They struggle to build their business in a way that's sustainable. Meaning that they have time for their families, they have time for their friends, they have time to rest. They're enjoying their life. Lives. They're living a dream life, right? They are terrified of putting themselves out there, of being on social media, speaking on stages, networking at events, building referral sources. They're terrified of raising prices, asking people for money, asking people for referrals, asking people for reviews, and on and on and on. There are people like that. And in my business, what I do is I help them get to this place where they're able to evolve and embrace that identity as an entrepreneur. They're able to learn the skills of an entrepreneur. They're able to, they understand how to create revenue, they understand how to Build teams that ultimately give them freedom. They understand how to build processes. They understand how to build their business in such a way they're not building their job. They're building a business asset that they can leave for their next generation or they can sell if that's what they wanted to do. And what goes on to happen is now they have more time and they're able to invest in their families, and their relationship with their spouse is better, and the relationship with their kids are better, and they're taking more vacation than they. They've ever had. They feel they. They ha. They're in control. They have autonomy. They've built something. They've built something that they could sell, and it could be a really, really profitable event. Um, they built something that is creating financial freedom for them and their children because they've acquired these skills. They've set a new bar for their family, so their children are learning skills and leaving a true legacy. The ripple effect goes on and on and on. And because they're able to build a successful business, they're able to serve so many of their own clients and their own patients. And so not only am I serving them, but they're empowered to serve their people more. And so the ripple effect goes on and on and on and on and on. If you think about it that way, then the question becomes, if that is the impact that your business can have, Are you willing to embrace the discomfort of posting on social media? Are you willing to embrace the discomfort of asking for referrals? Are you willing to embrace the discomfort of going everywhere to tell your people where they are, hey, I'm here. And you see that pain? I can fix it. The second you start thinking in those terms, then everything else becomes more fun. Everything else becomes like, oh, my goodness, this is my mission. I must accomplish it. This is my mission. I must let the people know that they don't have to deal with this pain anymore. Because I'm here now, right? And the second thought I want to leave you with is, you know, humans are really like dirt. Okay? And I'll explain what I mean if I'm walking, I'm just walking. Outside on Dearth in South Africa, it just looks like dirt, right? But underneath, there's probably diamonds, right? Or I'm taking a walk in Nigeria, and it looks like dirt, but underneath it is crude oil that's worth billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars. And so if I judge the ground just based on the way it looks, it looks like dirt, then I could miss out on billions and Billions and billions of dollars, right? And so humans are the same way we have. We look at ourselves and sometimes we're like, it's just me, right? But at the end of the day, we all, we all have gifts. We're all loaded with gifts. We're all loaded with something that is a gift to our generation. And one of the things you want to do, you've heard me talk about this on the podcast. One of the things you want to do is to set yourself up and to show up and to serve in your lifetime in such a way that when you die, which we all will, it's not a morbid thought. When you die, you die empty. Because you literally gave everything away. You literally exploited all of your potentials in the service of your generation. And so it will make you look at everything differently. Like, I have something that is a solution to somebody's pain, and I was specifically sent here to this planet. I was specifically born to help these people get out of pain. So you look at it that way, then you just start dispensing. Social media looks different because now it's no longer this annoying task I have to do. It's a free platform now, Remember, people paid. People paid thousands of dollars for a 22nd spot on radio ads, but now we have the capacity to reach tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of people on social media for free. Right? And so now it's like, oh, my goodness, I'm so glad I was born in this time because I have the ability to use this platform to get my message where I wanted to go. All of a sudden networking feels differently. All of a sudden being a guest on a podcast feels differently. It doesn't feel like, oh, this task I have to do for my business. It feels like, wow, another opportunity to reach the people that I was born to serve. I was called to serve. So that's a way to look at it. And if you look at it that way, you could enjoy visibility. I am an introvert. I am an introverted introvert. I wouldn't say I'm socially awkward or super shy anymore because I've kind of evolved, but I'm an introvert and I'm a private person. And visibility was not necessarily my jam, actually was not my jam at all. So I get it. But the thing is this. I am willing to show up and show up and talk to people and find new people and get on new platforms and get on social media and do all the things because I want to die empty. I want to be visible so I can serve all the people that I'm called to serve. And I want to invite you to start thinking that way, because once you do, you'll enjoy it. I enjoy it now. I enjoy. I had no idea I would enjoy being at events, speaking on stages, speaking on guest podcasts, making new friends, connecting with people I never knew I would. So if I can. Not to. Not to sound like cliche ish, but then you can, too. Okay? So what I would love for you to do is I'd love for you to take this episode of this podcast. I want to share it with the doctors in your life, because I want us all to come to this point where we're all more visible. The world needs us. Like the United States, if you're in the United States, needs the physicians to arise and needs for her voices to be loud. Like, really loud. Right. Especially the times we live in. So share this with the doctors in your world. And I want you to take whatever the very next step is for you as far as visibility is concerned. The very next step, Take it. Okay? Take it. And watch what will happen. Start that process. Start embracing the visibility. Your generation needs you. Okay? All right. So that's what I have for you. I will see you, my friend, on the next episode of the entremd podcast.
