How to Build a 7-Figure Coaching Business as a Physician

Send us Fan Mail Can a physician coach build a six-figure, seven-figure, or even million-dollar coaching business? Yes—but being an excellent coach and building an excellent coaching business are two different skills. In this episode of the EntreMD Podcast, Dr. Una breaks down the business fundamentals physician coaches need to master if they want to grow a profitable, sustainable coaching company. From choosing the right business model and pricing based on value to selling consistently, increasing visibility, retaining clients, and managing the mind drama that can stall execution, this episode is a practical roadmap for treating your coaching practice like the business it is. You’ll learn why clarity comes from action, not months of thinking; how to run the numbers behind your revenue goals; why selling is an essential part of service; and how getting in front of new audiences consistently can solve one of the biggest problems in business: obscurity. If you’re a physician coach who wants to replace your physician income, grow toward seven figures, or simply build a stronger and more profitable coaching business, this episode will help you identify what needs to change—and what to execute next.

The 7 People Quietly Destroying Your Business (Cut Them Off Now)

Send us Fan Mail You can't rise above your environment — and your environment isn't a building or a location. It's the people . In this "come to Jesus" episode, Dr. Una makes the case that your business is a precious thing (think: wearing white in a room full of wet paint, or a newborn you won't let just anyone hold), and that guarding it means being ruthlessly intentional about who gets close to you. Every win you create, every skill you build, every dollar you earn can be quietly undone by the wrong inner circle. So this episode is a challenge: audit the people around you. Because relationships shouldn't just happen to you — you choose them. You play offense and defense. Dr. Una breaks down the 7 kinds of people to keep out of your inner circle — the traits that rub off on you whether you notice or not — and how to intentionally insert yourself into the rooms that pull you up instead. Key Takeaways You cannot rise above your environment — and your environment is the people in it. Your vision, calling, and business are precious. Guard them like you'd guard a newborn. This isn't about eliminating people or being unkind — it's about reducing the proximity of these traits to you and the amount of time you're exposed to them. You will encounter these seven people. Sometimes you are one of them. The work is awareness, not judgment. Curate your inner circle on purpose: intentionally avoid certain people, and intentionally insert yourself into the rooms that stretch you. Memorable Quotes "The starting point of radical transformation is radical ownership." "Leaders are readers. The end." "This is your one life. This is not the rehearsal." "You wear white and you're hugging somebody with mud on them — the mud is going to get on you." Let's Connect Which of these 7 do you have in your inner circle right now? And who should you intentionally add? DM Dr. Una and let her know how this episode landed — all social links are in the show notes. If this helped you, share it with another physician entrepreneur. It might just save their business. Ready to Curate Your Circle? The EntreMD Business School is the room built for exactly this — a community of physician entrepreneurs who see 7-figures as the floor. Come forcefully insert yourself into it. Additional Resources: Learn more about my 12-month program . Interested in 1-on-1 coaching? Apply here . Grab a copy of the "The 7-Figure Physician CEO" book.

Million Dollar Math: The Equation Behind Every Profitable Business

Send us Fan Mail One of the biggest reasons physician entrepreneurs struggle isn't effort, heart, or clinical skill — it's that no one ever taught us the math of business. We were trained to help people, and pricing and volume became an afterthought. But business is an economic sport, and in this episode Dr. Una walks you through the million dollar math that changes how you see your entire business. You'll learn why there are many different paths to a million dollars — but every one of them is a fixed equation you can't argue your way around. Sell something for $1 to a million people, or $10,000 to a hundred people, or a million to one — the models all work, but only if you play by the rules. Dr. Una breaks down the two models most physicians live in (low ticket/high volume and high ticket/low volume), the specific challenge that comes with each, and how to overcome it so your numbers and your goals finally line up. In this episode: Why "people first, numbers second" doesn't mean you get to ignore the numbers The million dollar equation — and why $1 to one person will never get you there Low ticket and high ticket are Siamese twins with volume and price: choose one, you've chosen the other The money drama that shows up every time you raise your prices (and how to hold it together) Why your buyers aren't price shoppers — and how to articulate value instead "Charge what you're uncomfortable charging": the stretch-price rule that gets you unstuck Why marketing is non-negotiable in a low ticket, high volume model Your homework: audit your business and find out if you're actually playing by the rules A few moments to listen for: 2:21 — Why physicians struggle with the math of business 5:01 — The million dollar equation, walked out zero by zero 7:36 — Choosing your model: low ticket vs. high ticket 11:26 — The money drama of high ticket (and how to lean into value) 21:51 — The real math behind "I only want to see one patient an hour" 23:29 — Why marketing is the make-or-break skill for high volume 26:24 — Your homework: run the audit One line to remember: "Your model can work, but you must play by the rules. Anticipate the challenges, get ready for them, overcome them, and win." Loved this episode? Take it and share it with a doctor in your world — it could change how they see their whole business. And if you're ready to build a profitable business with the community, structure, and mentorship to back you, the EntreMD Business School is where physician entrepreneurs go to make it real.

If I Rebuilt My Practice From Scratch, Here's Exactly What I'd Do (7 Steps)

Send us Fan Mail If you're running a private practice and you keep hearing that doctors can't build a seven-figure business — this episode is your permission slip and your playbook. Dr. Una built her own practice to seven figures over nine years and exited at 40, then helped hundreds of physicians do the same. In this episode, she does something different: she walks you through exactly what she'd do if she were starting over today and had to get to her first million — a simple, repeatable 7-step process you can run whether you're just opening your doors or pushing toward your next million. Inside this episode, she answers: Why do most doctors only wish for a million-dollar practice — and what does it take to actually own it as a goal? What's the simple back-of-the-napkin math that tells you exactly how many patients a day a million dollars really requires? How do you know if your numbers are even feasible — and what can you tweak so you're not chained to an impossible schedule? Which marketing move has the biggest return on investment, yet is the one almost every physician avoids? What does the right team look like if you want to build a million-dollar practice and protect your life at the same time? How do you fund the whole thing without going into massive debt — or feeling ashamed about how you're doing it? And the step where most physicians quietly miss it completely: what has to change in you before any of this actually works? Grab a pen. This is one you'll want to come back to, and share with the doctors in your life. Why this one matters: 80% of businesses close within five years. The difference isn't the plan — it's whether you evolve into the person who can execute it. Dr. Una shows you how to do both. Loved this episode? Send Dr. Una a DM on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn and say "I got the yellow brick road." Then share it with a physician who needs to hear it — it could change the trajectory of their practice.

Send us Fan Mail Most physicians are not stuck because they don’t know what to do. They have read the books, made the plans, gotten the coaching, and still find themselves struggling to execute.

This episode is a powerful reset for the doctor who is ready to stop circling, take ownership, and create the dream business and dream life they know is possible. Tune in!

From Employed OB/GYN to Boutique GYN and Surgery Practice: Dr. Cheruba Prabakar's Road to $1M

Send us Fan Mail OB/GYN Dr. Cheruba Prabakar ditched employed medicine, went cash-pay, and built a boutique surgical practice in the Bay Area from scratch. Dr. Una breaks down how she overcame fear, bootstrapped without a loan, and hit her first revenue milestone in year one. Dr. Cheruba Prabakar spent 7–8 years in employed medicine before she admitted something felt off. Her dream of owning a practice had been buried under the assumption that private practice simply didn't exist on the West Coast. She joined the EntreMD Business School not with a plan, but with a question: is there another way? A year later, she opened her doors. She bootstrapped entirely, no loan, no outside funding. She answered her own phones, hand-wrote appointments, and stood at a dark outdoor event in a ski jacket handing out cards to strangers. A patient showed up from that event two and a half years later. The work was always working. She just couldn't see it yet. By the end of year one, she had already hit a revenue number she once thought was ridiculous to even write down. The milestone didn't make her comfortable. It made her hungry. She introduced membership programs, raised her surgical prices, and hired a second physician so her practice could run while she's on vacation. Now she's writing a book on fibroids, due out July 2026, because she wants every woman to know they don't have to wait eight months to see a surgeon. 👉 Ready for the next step? Book a call: https://program.www.entremd.com/call Tune in and get to work! Key Takeaways 00:00 The number seemed impossible. Then it happened 01:08 The dream got erased because there were no examples 02:30 Joined EBS before having a plan. That changed everything 05:06 9 to 4. Kids' performances. No permission needed 06:52 The diplomas went up. Then real growth began 09:00 No loan. No safety net. Just resourcefulness 10:44 Cash pay. Surgery. Bay Area. Everyone said no 13:10 One patient on the schedule. Kept going anyway 16:42 6:30 AM. Dark. Cold. A patient showed up two and a half years later 19:00 Do the work today.

How to Build a Team That Runs Without You with Dr. Noha Polack

Send us Fan Mail Pediatrician Dr. Noha Polack built a leadership team strong enough to run her private practice without her. Dr. Una breaks down how physician entrepreneurs can build a team, hire well, and buy back their time. 👉 Ready for the next step? Book a call: https://program.www.entremd.com/call Dr. Noha Polack has run her New Jersey pediatric practice for 25 years, and she's candid about the calls she got wrong first. The hardest was holding onto an employee long after the fit was gone. When she finally made the change, the office mood lifted and her best people stopped eyeing the exit. Her rule now: hire for personality, and if it isn't working in three months, let go. She also watched urgent care centers and venture-backed clinics open on nearly every corner, pulling at both her patients and her staff. Most practices around her sold to hospital systems or private equity. Dr. Polack joined a larger group instead, keeping full autonomy while improving her finances enough to pay her team better. The shift came when she stopped hunting for the perfect manager and started building one. A monthly leadership book club turned two of her staff into office managers who run the day-to-day, which is what made a month away possible even with three providers out on leave at the same time. Her takeaway: she's the most worthwhile person she can invest in. Tune in and get to work! Key Takeaways 00:00 30 years in and still loving medicine, business, and life 02:06 Marketing your practice has completely changed. Get loud 03:06 Your voice is not for you. It belongs to your patients 04:50 Mistake 1: Holding onto the wrong hire too long 06:10 Fear and timidity are not a business strategy 08:32 Mistake 2: Not watching what the competition is doing 11:00 Analyze the challenge. Then make a plan 12:26 You cannot build a great practice alone 14:46 Stop waiting for the perfect manager.
