A vision is a mental picture of how you want your future to look.  A vision fuels action, giving you a crystal clear idea of what's important, helping you develop a plan for achieving it, and motivating you to take the necessary steps required to get you where you want to go. You need a vision for your life to guide other decisions along the way. 


A vision for your life is about more than just 'where do I end up?' A vision for your life is about what you'll experience along the way. Yes, you'll most likely end up somewhere different than you expected, but you must keep your eyes firmly fixed on a new destination. A vision for your life is about a set of experiences that you want to enjoy and remember forever. 

In this episode,  you will learn:

  • How to define and create a vision for your life
  •  How to overcome any negative thinking that stands in the way of achieving your dreams.
  • How to create/develop a vision for your life

She's a physician, entrepreneur. We're gonna tell you a little bit more about her in a second. But the reason why I have her with us here is because I've seen her. It's actually the first time we talked and we interviewed earlier today for her podcast, and now we're doing this for my podcast. But after seeing her hearing about her and all the things she was doing, I knew that I had to have her on the podcast here. So welcome.

Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez:

Thank you very much. Thanks for having me. Or Mihir, likewise. It was like, it's been amazing. I finally have her like, yes, we made it. We made contact, and here we're

Dr. Latifat:

hallelujah right? It's like finally our schedules are crazy. So it's great that we made this happen. For those that I haven't met you, can you tell us about you? Who are you, what do you do, and why do I think you're

Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez:

fabulous? Well, the thing that you think I'm fabulous is that's that. I'm gonna leave the note to you, but I can tell you that like many other physicians, I've been burned out. I love being a physician. You know, like I find that most of us do. It's been a privilege and honor to become a physician. I've been able to do this for many years, but many of us have been through burnout and, um, getting to know. That, you know, so many of our colleagues committing suicide or having the desire to do that 300 to 400 commit suicide every year and having been, I fortunately that thought never crossed my mind, but it was very sad and deep, you know, in into burnout and being able to come out of there. I wanted to share that with the, with others. We've created some spaces where physicians can come and learn about those things at the same time that I haven't stopped being a physician, so I'm a physician. A mom? Yes. I'm, I'm, I guess, you know, we're, we're both entrepreneurs here and, um, we've developed these programs so that we can help other physicians overcome things that, that we've gone through before. So that's, that's what I'm mainly doing these. So

Dr. Latifat:

let me ask you, cuz I know you've, we've talked and you know, that I was a very hesitant entrepreneur, but can you tell us a little bit about your journey? Is this something you've always been or is this something that you'd had to learn over the course of life?

Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez:

Well, I have to tell you that I did grow up in, let's call it entrepreneurial family. We growing up, we didn't have the financial education, but we had entrepreneurial spirit and my father and my parents, actually, they both had businesses and I worked in all of them since I was like seven, and I loved it. My mom had a children's boutique. And they also even had, at the same time, they had at some point an ice cream parlor. And I love to like get the store ready and take care of the clients and make sure that everything was pretty for when they came and inviting all my friends to come. And I, I love that spirit of having that. Then after that, they were still in the same building, owner owning the same commercial property. Then we had different businesses that came through the spaces that we had there. And I say we had, because I would work at those spaces even, you know, like even before being a teenager and through a teen, my teenage years, and I always loved the same thing. Whatever the business was like, I wanted to be involved. So that's something I had in. I knew that I wanted to grow old and have something that was mine and medicine caught my eye. Like I really wanted to be a doctor and I think there was a lot of influence for my father in all of this. He wasn't, you know, the driving force in, you know, the businesses of, although there was not that, as I said, the financial and the planning education. But then he started being through his physician career before I was born. Once he had the family, then he stopped his physician. After I finished my medical school, then he, uh, became a physician. After that, he never practiced, he never wanted to be on call. He discovered all those things that he didn't want to do, but he became a physician afterwards. I think, like, you know, trying to please him and going after his dreams. I think that we had a big influence in myself, but from very little, uh, also at the same time that I was taking care. Those stores and you know, like what I thought was taking care of of big one stores. I was also like killing myself. Last night I was talking to somebody that I was like, You know, you get a pencil and you draw like a little line on your skin and then you like get the eraser like very hard, erased, and then get the residue of that eraser and then I would like stitch myself with those erasers. So I was like healing myself and, and healing dolls and doing all that stuff. So that combination, you know, I had the entrepreneurial and I thought I about having my office someday off, I went into anesthesiology. Which you don't have your own office, you're still healing people. But eventually I found myself in Interventional pain management where I had the opportunity to have our own set of offices and being an entrepreneur and do all these things. So it's been a, a combination of things. And it did grow from, you know, from the time when I was little.

Dr. Latifat:

Wow. What a interesting background, right? Because it's like a lot of times we think about life, we think about what we wanna be and what we wanna do, and the skills we need and our kids need. But it's interesting the power of actually just learning passively and even actively through our life and. you know, I think that's actually really, really interesting that you got a chance to learn entrepreneurship because what comes with that is actually growth mindset. And that's what I'm hearing. Do you wanna tell us a little bit about that? Do you think that that is true? And how have you seen the ability to be sort of like growth minded piece into your, cuz you're like, the did this, the did this, the did this. And most people grew up where it's like one job, eight to five. Eight to five, eight to five, eight to five

Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez:

Well, I have to tell you that that changed learning about growth mindset and, and fixed mindset lately has told me that for a big, long period of my life, I was fixed. And I was fixed. Because once that thought of becoming a decision, you know, like that was fixed there, that this was my career path, then there was nothing else around. And there's some, they expect you to be exceptional in medicine, right? And you have to do all these things, these boxes that you have to check to be able to go through all these filters of finally becoming a physician and going through anything that we are accepted to through your fellowship. Right? So in my life I was focused, I was blessed, and I'm very grateful to certain extent, you know, like very big, huge extent that I only applied to one college, one medical school. Internship, I applied to two because it was either a surgery or an anesthesiology. And I was accepted into both at the same time. Both heads of the department, they call me at the same time, in the same one and say, which one do you want? And I was able to choose. After that, I applied to only one resident and one fellowship. So it's different than what I see other students, you know, on medical, medical students go through and, and everybody life. So I had that fixed mindset and then I was not, I didn't face failure. Okay. During a big, huge part of my, my journey, and when failure comes, you know, then that's when you grow and when you're fixed, like you say, you know what? I'm a doctor and I've achieved this. How can somebody tell me no one? And all these ideas that you have in your mind because you being like, fixed, this is the way it is. I'm this way. I've been told, I'm like this, I've been told I'm so and so, and then you really don't grow because all you have is. So I was really doing quite a few years of my life right there, stuck there. And even after I went and created my, my practices and everything, like I always said, you know, like whatever I want, I can achieve. But I wasn't ready at times for some failures that came through. We were, for example, I was, we grew into these couple of clinics that eventually sold successfully and, and within the very short period of time when we were with those clinics, pain management clinics, we had the success of making centers of excellence. Within two years, we had only submitted to see how it would be thinking that we were gonna plan for a five year plan. We went within two years. So it's like success. Then we say, okay, success, sorry. Um, then we sell them and I become an employee again, right? And until then, I had all this path that I'm telling you of success. Then I become an employee because I wanted to dedicate my time to do some other things at that time. And I'm not a good employee. Oh my goodness, I'm such a bad employee. So that really, I had to grow there and uh, that's where my burnout came, two episodes, and I had to grow, and it was very, very difficult to hear somebody tell me. So you're unhappy with the choices that you made. I'm like, goodness gracious, this person is right. But you don't want to accept that, right? You don't want to be wrong, especially after you've been so right for so many years. And, um, that was where the growth started from that point on. And then that's when I re. Took, you know, my life into my own hands, but it's after so many successes. Then having such a profound, deep failure and not recognizing yourself within that situation, that was very hard. So it has not always been about growth mindset for me, but it's definitely now

Dr. Latifat:

we took it. You know, it's interesting that you said I'm a bad employee. Oh, totally. And I say that for our audience because a lot of times physicians can sometimes be stuck in our way of thinking that when someone tells us that we are bad employees, we don't see the compliment in that. We think it's a bad thing. It means that I'm a bad human, it means I'm a bad doctor. No, you're just a bad employee and maybe you're meant to be a. It is not a bad thing not being employed. When I had an episode, you know, months ago, I think it was last year, where I had a Combs drug come talk to us and she's like, I'm an unemployable physician. It is not a bad thing. So I want us to be careful about the meanings that we've given things, because otherwise then we spiral down into this negative space of thinking something bad about us, when in fact may just been that you're not in a place where you're meant to.

Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez:

And the, the reason why I say I'm about employee is like, okay, for example, once I, I worked at this company for seven years, just recently left them, and then people will ask me, so tell me what happened? Why did you leave? You know, like, like the little gossip of, of whatever thing happens, like, you know, I can go ahead and blame them. for everything that's happening to me. Or I can make the choice of owning, of own, owning my own choices, right? So that's when I say I'm a bad employee, I'm not blaming them. I'm blaming myself first, because I know that in that situation, I've tried it. I had some hints at the beginning that I would not be thriving there, but I still insisted on putting, putting myself on that. And I chose that employment, that place of employment, and it proved itself that, you know, that the things that I thought were gonna happen and I would have no control over that I really like to control happen. So I like personally to have, uh, control over not only my situation, but I also like to have control over the patient's experience, over the employee's experience to a certain degree where I think is gonna go more aligned with my principles and my vision. And. I chose to be in a place where that those things didn't match, so I put it on myself, and that's the way that I was able to get out of there. And also, that's why I say I'm a bad employee. I don't think that makes me a bad person. I think that makes me understand. Within that growth mindset, what sort of things I'm gonna be able to grow into and, and be able to do for the future. And we try to teach that. Like, if you really want to achieve change, don't blame it on others. Take control of your life. How do you take control of your life? Okay, if you don't like this situation, you change it. How do you change it? You then become, you know, and it's gonna be cheesy. Like you become part of the solution where you are, you know? But you do every effort. If it's like your communication, what, what can you not understand? If it's your employ about that, that management, do you have the learning strategies that take to talk to them? Have you made any efforts to communicate in their language? Have you understand their point of view in any way, shape or form? Do you know what their goals for the company are? Their mission, their vision, and all these things, their financial goals for the years? How does that match with what you're doing at the. If those things you've tried and they don't match and you cannot get into that, you know, um, set of solutions for them, that would be a win-win. Then you have to understand, yeah, it's time to go. So when do you leave, when you know that there's no future there, but you've made an effort. I love

Dr. Latifat:

that. I love that so much. And I love that you said cuz a lot of times we don't see that we're part of a bigger picture. We see ourselves and we don't even know that we can ask those questions. Like, what's the vision of the company? Does it match yours? The company's like, we're here to like do this. And you're like, no, that's not what, that doesn't go in light with my own morals or my ethics. Different vision, different mission, separate way, and go take your amazingness and go somewhere else. I'm, I'm with you a hundred percent. I love. Quick question. This is gonna be like a random question. What is that mannequin in the back? Because I know there's gonna be someone watching the video and like, okay, why do Dr. Latifa had not asked this question of what this mannequin is in the back

Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez:

Okay guys, I had this vision of putting my wedding dress somewhere and I bought this. So this is called lack of planning. It's a reminder, okay? So I thought for some reason that he put butt and mannequin. You could put your wedding dress there. And I was very tiny, you know, my size when I, when tinier than right now. When I, when I wore my wedding dress, um, a long time ago. But but this is not the right size. And I said, why do I do with it? So I have here a reminder, like I have to plan better for my life. So that's why that's there. And it's pretty, I like it. I don't know. It's french. I love

Dr. Latifat:

it. I love it. I, you know, I can see some lines. I'm like, is that a nerve path, is that like the injection sites for?

Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez:

No, it's like, it's, uh, I don't know any French, but it's um, you know, like talking about this, uh, some of the streets in France and, uh, some of the, um, businesses, you know, from, from older times. So I thought that was a nice touch for my dress, but it's not. Now I tell you that, you know, measure first before purchasing. I

Dr. Latifat:

love that. I love that. I love that. I love, that's fantastic. So now back to this, you've mentioned vision a couple of times now. Talk to us about how. Do you get a vision? Like how do you focus and get a vision to the point of, you know, having a dream? Like how does that work together? Because there's gonna be someone listening to this that's like, you know, go, just going through the flow and they're just doing whatever. They're just like surviving on a day-to-day basis. And so this whole conversation of like vision and dream, like, help us teach people, how

Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez:

do you. Well, some things come to you because of what you've learned through the years and, um, I remember being little and then going to these particular houses and, you know, we had connections in different places. We didn't have, as I said, the financial education in my house. I didn't grow that, I didn't acquire that until, you know, much, much later in my life. And, but I knew how they lived. And I said, I want to, like, I like these things about that way of living. Or I've seen other people, the way that they communicate with others. So they may, the way that they live in, you know, like in, in different ways, not only in financial or business, the way that they take care of themselves, the way that, and I want to emulate them. That's having examples. It's not that I want to necessarily like imitate everybody and then I put those together with what I feel, which things that I think are good for. And, um, there's an exercise that I do, I've done in, in, in different talks that I've been to. It's like, define your day and then, you know, like defining your stay. So going in detail about your day, the way that you know when you wake up. When you wake up, what do you wake up to? Do you wake up to a place, the smell, the sun, who do you wake up next to or not? Right? And you go through like every single item on your day, when if you have breakfast or not, or you exercise or don't, or you meditate or don't, or whatever it is that you don't. When you work at that work, do you like the way that even the money is produced, the way that you know, like, do you love doing prior authorizations, right? Or do you love doing charting? What? What sort of things do you like or not about your job? And then you put all these things to them and you say, how would you like this to be different? And then why? So all these concepts, Things make you reach, you know, a vision, like what you want for your life, and you can put it together. You go back and forth and your vision can change, you know, with new information that you receive. But just imagine what your life you would like to be like, and then that's it. That's your vision.

Dr. Latifat:

for you, when you've gone through changes, you know, from like having your, you know, having a business, selling the business, was it a vision that made you change that direction or was it a sense of, was it more of like a, a no. Like what was it that made you realize that maybe it's time to go from, I mean, to go from my beauty and center of excellence to selling it and choosing employed and. And there's no one size fits all our lives are gonna be changing and all that. But I want you to share with us, if you don't mind, what are, what made you know that it was time to ch for that vision to change?

Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez:

So things happen, you know, in life, it can be in business, it can be in your family, it can be in your personal situation, your health and all these things. And it was being a combination of things. Sometimes you can have something that's pushing you or you can decide to, to move. From that or you, you can decide to move away to better. Right? In our case, we decided to move away to better. When I thought about my family, so there was a time where this business was really great. We had done well with the centers of excellence. We had ground two, two clinics. We had all these services for our patients. However, it was, um, a lot of time for our family work, At some point we said that, you know, it is like short shared custody. Either you're at the business Monday through Friday and then my husband was there like Saturday, Sunday, all the time. And we were really never having dinners together, having, uh, taking care of their kids or kids going to middle school. And we thought that that was a very important period of time for us to be present more than even before when they were little. So it grew to the point where was so much work there to achieve all these great things that we did, and we decided, you know, let's take a step. I'll go to be an employee. That way we can stay, one of us can stay at home, take care of these kids, which we have to watch like hogs when they're in middle school. And that was the thing that pushed us. It was like the last set of like nudging and vision of what we wanted for our family. We want our family to be together at dinner. We want our family to be together when our kids need need. And that's what, that was the main focus, the main driver of that decision now, uh, going into this other transition. So I, I did that. So we had our, our clinics for seven years. We agreed to a couple of clinics. We sold successfully. And then I became an employee now for seven years. Now they're going into another, there's another stage in our family where our kids soon are gonna be going out college, you know, empt Nest, two at a time. Twins, boy, girls like, oh my goodness. Then it's like now that time was a lot about them. Now it's the time about us, what I want for my future specifically. And I know that in that place it's not a place for of growth for me, as I said, you know, as an employee. So then let's, let's move on to the next stage and getting ready, preparing, designing that pathway so you know, when, when they're gone, the the things are gonna be left for us. And what I want to live as a legacy, you know, in terms of medicine for my patients. I love that. What

Dr. Latifat:

I'm noticing is you are having forward facing vision is what you're doing cuz your kids are not, they're still home and you're already anticipating what it's gonna look like, what you're gonna need, what the vision is gonna look like. So you have years, you're actually getting noticed years ahead of time to then create.

Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez:

That's what we're, that's what we're trying

Dr. Latifat:

Right. And you know, my people know that it's never about perfection. Right. But I think that's important because a lot of times as physicians, we have this thought that what our plan was when we're at the age of 21, is gonna be our plan at the age of 55. We think that what our plan was when we were age 35, when we started in, you know, like residency or attending or whatever, you. it's gonna be what you need when you're like 50. And the point of this conversation is that it's okay for that to evolve. And part of what causes our burnout is that when we're not, when there's a misalignment between what the seasons needs of us versus where we're holding onto, it's gonna feel like strain. And if you're not aware of that, we're gonna be blaming everybody outside. Don't get me. There's problems that are external. There are problems that need to be solved, but right now I'm talking about us. How you, my dear listener, can be well, and sometimes that is a misalignment between where the season of your life is and what you're holding onto. There may be time to be employed, there may be time to start your own business. There may be time to be employed, hand have your own business. There may be time to do a kind of business that may be like I have. Thing what we've been sold that we, you know, sort of like the light at the end of the tunnel. Like you get to this point and now the light is gonna be lighting in forever, and then you're gonna be well and fabulous and love every single day of your life in your clinic and the foreman. Then you are gonna retire and you have another fabulous 30 something years. And it's like, we need to get with the program and understand that that's a myth, and we need to be more in tune with what we need now and what will look like our body and our citizens will need in a few years so we can create visions and then now execute in order to create that vision. Does, does that sound about fair to you?

Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez:

That's true, yeah. And then, uh, we've talked about some other people also about arrival fallacy, for example, like you think that you've arrived and you plan all this time, and then you get there, it's like, oh, it's not what I thought it was gonna be. And then what do I do now? And there's certainly some things, you know, not just that, that can be triggers for these decisions to happen. They don't happen on a vacuum. It's not like, you know, necessarily planning too. There, there are some other things that you have to realize that are gonna be changing that decision, but you know, you can be ready or not. Uh, you can embrace it or not. And the point that I'm trying to make throughout this whole story is that you have to understand that you have choices. As a physician, we talk a lot about these golden handcuffs that, you know, yes, they're there, but there's a lot of choices that we have as physicians and we cannot blame the others for what's happening to us. I cannot keep blaming administration. I cannot keep blaming Medicare. I cannot keep blaming, you know, the world about what's happening to decisions. Physicians have done this to ourselves. You have to understand you. For whatever reason, like we want it to be just physicians and then we have left, we have given away our rights to all these things. We're not in places of power. We're not where decisions want to be, you know, are made. We want to treat our careers reactive the same way that most of the medicine that we're doing instead of preventively, so we. And I say we because as a profession, we've done this. It, it didn't happen overnight. Unfortunately, we're living through a time where what we are taught in medical school hasn't caught up with the reality of medicine. and, um, we're left there, but we cannot be the victim anymore. So we have to make the changes. We have to cite ourselves. And as you said earlier in our conversations, the reason for one of the reasons for physicians to have money is what we do with it. You know, like women, physicians, they put in the community, they put it to good, to good use, and having. Physicians, even, you know, in politics involving positions of our work, they can influence the way that we deliver medical care to our communities is important. So we have to take ownership and we have to dream and, and plan, and, and have visions and all these things of everything within a context of what we have, want to leave for ourselves. Putting ourselves first so we can take care of. And then what we want to leave as our legacy, as our gift to this world. I love that

Dr. Latifat:

so, so, so much. I'm a hundred percent with you. It's literally why I do everything that I do when it comes to money. One of my clients that comes to mind, I, again, I wanna equip women physicians, I want women and men physicians, but I love, you know, women are my people. Man, I love y'all too, cuz I know y'all are listening. But you know, the bottom line is when we have the tools, money is a tool that helps us do the things that we're called to do. One of my clients who I've worked with for years is this amazing physician, primary care doc board of our hospital. Amazing, amazing, amazing. And she's making so many changes on a state level. And I'm like, woman, I'm waiting for you to get on a national level because it's gonna happen. And the beauty is she still has fear, but it's so much easier because she's like, I have the finances. I know how to do this. I know how to create money. I know how to diversify my income source. And so I know that I can speak louder. And she's doing it and she's doing it, and she's doing it. and if she's listening to this episode, I've been telling her like, it's, we're taking you national. We're taking you national. There's a lot of work for you to do. And we need that for physicians. We want you to be, well, we want you to be empowered, but there is a still dom. That we've adopted that just needs to go. And it's part of why we're burning out because we are underachieving to the capacity that we've been given because we're some of the smartest people. Our brains are amazing. And then we think we're gonna be able to like survive in a box where we've been told what to do. That doesn't happen. It's like put in a hot water. Like, I don't know, in a plastic container expected to not like burst open. It will bust open. It is water. So we need to understand our character, our nature, and part of what we're doing here is reminding you of who you are. And I know that sometimes it hurts cuz I'm with you when I'm like realizing the things that I have the capacity to, I'm like, I just wanna not be great Right? But the key is, You, it's who you are. It's your nature. So part of what's happening is you're probably trying to ignore your nature, and that's why you're feeling stressed in where you are. And what we're seeing is you can get a new vision, you can get a new dream. It's not always gonna be easy, but you can also surround yourself by people that inspire you to change. Does that sound about, do I, did I round that up?

Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez:

Well? That's correct. There you go, Dr. Lati

Dr. Latifat:

So why don't you do this. Tell us a little bit about your mastermind. Tell us what you do and how you're helping physicians create their own vision, create an action, and be able to execute it.

Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez:

So going back to the pandemic, you know, I think it's a common theme amongst all of us. It's like the pandemic. Unfortunately it came, but at the same time I could like, you know, it's like, like a mental approach type of thing. And then it's like a reawakening. It gave us the opportunity to pause. Be together about a, you know, as a families and, and think about what we wanted for our futures and get more information. So during that period of time, I learned what a mastermind was, and it was during one of Peter Kim's talks, you know, like the, the groups, the, the summits that he has. I said, oh my goodness, I won one of those. But I want to be part of the mastermind war is for physicians, but physicians can bring their couples because I wanted my husband, who's not a physician, but he's been involved in our, in our businesses to be part of it. So then I did a call. It's like, Hey, you guys who has a couple and who wants to come to this and we're gonna meet? And then I learned about what the Mastermind is, how to run. How to be a facilitator, who are the members? All these things about masterminds. I, I studied it and I say, okay, let's do one. And then we did it. It was successful. So for six months from now on, uh, we have developed a curriculum for six months. We are based on previous masterminds that we've had, everything that people are asking, the things, everyone to grow. For six months, once a week. Okay. And then we grow together. And how do we go? We go, we talk about six pillars. So there's the pillar of that vision. There's a pillar of wellness, mindset, lifestyle. There's a finance and business, because finance and business are different things. And, um, we get wonderful coaches. This has been one of the most amazing, amazing things. So I facilitate and then my husband helps me. He's a project manager. So what we do is that at the end of the Mastermind, people will have their next 90 day plan for what they're not gonna do for the next 90 days. But during this six months, they've already done a lot of things. And who comes to our Mastermind is people who are, you know, feeling burnout over. They know that they need to change a personal professional change in their lives, or people who have an idea for a business, but they really have no idea of how to do it. Or you know, they have no idea of what they want to do. And they come here and then they put that, they learn about all these things in detail and, um, I put that into perspective and they start, you know, whatever change they want for their life. So we've had, for example, I'm gonna give you like three examples of people that we've had. We've had one that you really know like she's doing so well. She started with us with just the idea of her coaching business for physicians about A D H D because she's gone through a D H D herself. and she didn't find the answers. And finally when she found, it's like, I want to share this with the world. So she comes to us with the idea of being a, a coach and, uh, she had no idea of how to do the business like she launched and everything, and she didn't even know how to put the buttons in the, in the, uh, website. All that stuff finally learned. And right now it's been just over a year and a half since she was in the mastermind and she's able, She has received offers for her to get, like, what would she normally make in a whole year as a physician to be able to make it within three to six months? The potential to do that, that's one of them. Another one that we had was a physician who completely lost, had six kids at home, and, um, spending so many hours driving. It was two hours each way to drive charting. Into the midst of the night, maybe making it to dinner for their family, not seeing them on the weekends. And that physician within our period of time changed where they acquired over four hours a day for their life. It was amazing. They changed like, you know, yes, I have to do this. So you realize because you're with people who are brushing, pressing, you. Support. You have accountability and you have coaching in the system. And, um, the third physician, these are physicians who actually, they were overwhelmed, lost, they didn't know what to do, big changes in their lives. And one of them has gone viral on TikTok and now like is coaching, as is saying nationally for others and others have been able to develop their businesses. They say, I don't know what I'm gonna do. But they came and they, and they got an idea and they're developing real estate investments and they are improving their medical clinics. So we have a lot of those physicians who, it's not just about one thing, it is about really developing a, changing your professional and personal life. We do CMEs so you can use your CME money and um, we are a community and we become.
