In this monologue, Kelly Alhooie explains how healthcare practitioners should choose a coach by looking for someone who has already built the exact type of business and lifestyle they aspire to. She highlights her own credentials—growing both a brick‑and‑mortar practice and an online business to seven‑figure revenues, selling businesses, and purchasing property—to illustrate the kind of proven track record she expects from a mentor. Kelly warns against coaches who remain stuck in clinical work or who spend excessive time on Zoom, arguing that such mentors cannot authentically guide others toward asset creation and a dream lifestyle. The core message is to invest in a coach whose lived experience matches the desired outcome, not merely in someone who still operates primarily as a clinician.

Kelly, why would I pick you as a coach over someone else? Well, the reality is you only want to pick a mentor that has actually done the thing that you want to do. So I have personally grown a brick-and-mortar to 7 figures and an online business to 7 figures. So if you want to grow online or you want to grow a brick-and-mortar, then I'm your coach, especially in the healthcare space. That is what I have done. So when I'm looking at coaches, I'm auditing to see What have they done? And do I want to actually live that life? That's the next thing. So I'm looking at what is my lifestyle, guys. I can do whatever, I can be wherever, I can get whatever because I've actually lived it. Most coaches can't say that. They're still stuck in their clinics. They're still coaching you on maybe 1 to 2 levels above them. They have not actually built an asset. So when I'm looking at coaches, I'm like, who has been pulled out of their clinic? Who's had their clinic run? Who's built an online business? Who's actually had a successful online business and be able to get clients consistently and been in business for a while? When I'm looking at this stuff, who's actually sold? Me. Who's actually bought a building? Me. Who's actually living their dream life? Me. So when you're looking at coaches and you're like, hmm, Who do I actually invest in? You invest in the person that you actually want to be like, or that you actually want what they have, because they know the path. They've been down the path. Do not invest in a coach that's like, oh yeah, I'm still working in the clinic. Oh, and I'm still seeing patients and all that. Or I still, you know, do Zoom meetings for 12 hours a day online. Like, that is not a mentor. You don't want to be stuck in front of a computer for 12 hours. So pick someone that you admire, that you're like, damn, I want that path. I want those assets. Now tell me how to get it. And that's your coach. That's how you know.
