Championship-Level Business Strategies from a Super Bowl Champion Physician - Dr. John Michels

09/28/20 • 52 min

Episode 24 - What does it really take to run a business? What does it take to be a leader? How do you do all of your work and help grow a thriving practice? These are important questions for any physician. This week, we get a chance to have some of these questions answered by Dr. John Michels, a physician entrepreneur with a very unusual path to medicine.

Dr. John Michels won the Super Bowl as an offensive tackle for the Green Bay Packers. He unfortunately suffered a career-ending knee injury in the next year. Undeterred, he pivoted his career plans and became a physician! Now, he is an interventional pain specialist who brings the same championship attitude to the procedure suite that he used to bring to the football field.

If you've felt inadequate to be able to serve your patients or lead your team, you're not alone! Dr. John Michels had to start an entire career over from scratch! From Super Bowl Champion to medical student, his attitude remains the same: serve your team, serve your patients, serve your family. This week's episode is a phenomenal discussion for anyone who wants to know what it takes to be a physician leader.

How to Structure Your Business Practices to Maximize Profit - Mike Michalowicz

Episode 23 - If you think your business isn't creating enough profit, you're probably right. But, it's not for the reason you think! The reason you're not taking home enough profit is because you're not taking out profit first! In this week's episode, Mike Michalowicz argues that the traditional model of business (Revenue - Expenses = Profits) is wrong.

Instead, you should use this model: Revenue - Profit = Expenses. Take profit out of the business first, then use the remaining money to pay taxes and expenses. This conversation is revolutionary, but it's the best way I've heard to ensure that you have a profitable business. If you're bringing home profit and not meeting expenses, the answer is to spend less money!

Listen to this week's episode with Mike Michalowicz and learn how to create a wildly successful and profitable business just by taking out profit first!
