The Patterns of High Performers

Anissa Holmes:
What's up, guys? And welcome to another episode of the Delivering WOW Dental Podcast. I am super excited to be coming on today. So I just want us to share a few observations. As I was talking about on my last podcast, we had opened up our inner circle for about a week and we actually invited people who had been through our business acceleration boot camps and people who were in our coaching level of our Platinum Mastermind to apply. And what's really interesting is, again, patterns. You guys know I love to talk about patterns that I see and patterns for success, right? Now, this is really, really interesting because I do quite a few phone calls for practice owners who are looking to grow their businesses. And all of the practice owners that I spoke with this week who were interested in Inner Circle... First of all, they all signed up for inner circle.

Anissa Holmes:
But the interesting thing is that they were so excited, they were all in. They had done their homework and they were ready to get results, right? And it really makes me think about action takers. And interestingly, the same thing for me. A few weeks ago, I did a speaker training. And it was amazing. It was phenomenal. And so, as many of you guys know, I'm going to be speaking at Funnel Hacker Live, which is a huge marketing conference. And so I want to go all in to being able to deliver the best presentation ever. And so I'm speaking to another friend who is an amazing speaker and he actually works with men. He has a men's group that helps men to be better husbands and it's amazing. And so he had a speaking trainer that he has worked with as well.

Anissa Holmes:
And so I'm really overly obsessed with this whole thing right now, maybe. But I went all in and interestingly, the next training is a week and a half from now and it's in California. And of course, I'm like, "I know this person can help me, I know they can get me results. I see what they've done with my friend." And I did some research and I was just like, "I'm all in." And I look at, again, the patterns of people who are successful. I look at the patterns of those people who are in my inner circle. I look at the patterns of successful entrepreneurs and business leaders, successful dentists. And what's interesting, by the way, is that the doctors that joined my inner circle this week, they... Interestingly, money was not a big topic of discussion for them.

Anissa Holmes:
It was just like, "I want in. It doesn't really matter, the cost and because know it's going to give me results." And they did not micromanage, asking so many questions about the process. They just have seen how we've helped them already and they see the people that we've helped and they decided to be all in. And they're going to have amazing success and I'm so excited for them. And I think about calls that I have with some people who are interested in joining the platinum and we are on a call for a really long time and at the end of the day, they're like, "Wow, this can really help me with marketing. Wow, this can help me with hiring. Wow, this can help me with case acceptance. Wow, this can help me with building processes to know where there are leaky spots."

Anissa Holmes:
But then we come off the call and... Actually, before we come off the call, they were like, "Oh, how much is it a month?" And, "Oh gosh," and I'm like, "Well, if you're not ready to invest in the $1,200 a month program, that's why we have the $300 a month program." And if we can't grow your business, teaching you similar processes that we teach our inner circle that's allowing them to grow and add an extra $10,000, $20,000, $30,000, $50,000 a month.... If we can't give you that with our program, we might as well just shut it down. And so despite that, these are people that know that it can help them and know that it can take them to the next level. And maybe they don't believe that the investment can get them to the next level.

Anissa Holmes:
Maybe that's it. But I find a different pattern and that pattern is that some people are just really slow. And one of the guys today, I was on the phone with him and I'm just like, "You know what? It doesn't matter to me if you join the program or not. I want you to join it so that you can grow your business. But I know the program is amazing and I know it helps people get results." And so I'm like, "What's going to hold you back and what's holding you back? If it's okay, if I can get permission to coach you for a little bit." It's what holds people back from growing, is procrastination. And what holds people back is not taking a leap of faith and believing them themselves and giving themselves an opportunity to be successful.

Anissa Holmes:
And so they just do nothing and give themselves a chance to perhaps have failure. I don't know. Interestingly, as I've become... really started to own this whole mental space of my own, of knowing and having the confidence that what we're doing is crazy life changing and it's not being taught in any other programs. I'm just asking people, "Can I give you my... Can I get permission to just coach you on this?" Because that's what good coaches do. And one of my inner circle members today, I was like, "My job is to love on you. I love you so much, but my job is to kick your butt because you're not going to grow if I just am your friend and I don't point out what you need to work on. I love you so much to kick your butt." And she's like, "Yeah, I know. That's what I need."

Anissa Holmes:
So anyway, I am not really sure where I'm going with this podcast, but I guess the message here is that if you're finding something that can help you, and it's not just with the Platinum Mastermind or Delivering WOW. Perhaps it is a program that you want to learn how to be a better cook. I don't know. And you know that it's going to give you what you want. You just have to do it. Sitting around and procrastinating and thinking about it is robbing you of time where you can be successful. So I hope this message speaks to you and I'd love to be able to get to know more about you and your practice and if there's anything I can do for you, reach out to me. I'm here to help. I'm here to serve and I want to see you be successful. All right guys, that is it. If you've not had a chance to join our Facebook group, join us at deliveringwowhangout.com and we'll chat soon.
