#261: Should You Manage Several Businesses At Once?

#261: Should You Manage Several Businesses At Once?
Should I run multiple businesses? Yes or No. Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about what NOT to do to become successful in your business. In this episode, Jason fills us in on common pitfalls entrepreneurs, new and old alike, fall into while in search of "success," as well as mindsets to adopt in the journey to "real success." EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS "Shiny Object Syndrome" is when people get distracted by trendy ideas, losing sight of their own business's growth. This is a common trap entrepreneurs fall for. Successful entrepreneurs are those with ironclad focus, sticking with their exact same business and giving 100% in everything they do. Distractions come often, so you must become a master of saying no and staying focused. Creating a business shouldn't just be because of fulfilling one's personal needs. Your number one reason for creating a business is to provide value to your customers. Give more value to your business so your business can give more value to others. An inefficient practice some people do is running multiple businesses in hopes of earning more but often fall short in both. An analogy for this is trying to drive two cars: Driving the first car, stopping midway, walking back to get to the second car, then driving again, and so on. 3 KEY POINTS Focus on one business rather than multiple ones. Don't fall into the "Shiny Object Syndrome" trap. Create your business, not for yourself, but to provide value for your customers. TWEETABLE QUOTES "Stick with what you started until it becomes unreasonable for you not to be successful." – Jason Duprat "Become a master of saying no and staying focused." – Jason Duprat CONNECT WITH JASON DUPRAT | | | Email: JOIN OUR GIVEAWAY!

#260: The 5-Step Productivity Must-Do’s to Get More Out of Your Business (Minus the Burnout!) with Mridu Parikh

#260: The 5-Step Productivity Must-Do’s to Get More Out of Your Business (Minus the Burnout!) with Mridu Parikh
Life is life. It's not just work. Mridu Parikh is a productivity coach, best-selling author of Accomplish It, founder of Life is Organized, and host of the Productivity on Purpose Podcast. In today's episode, Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Mridu to exchange a myriad of best practices on how to live a happier life by maintaining a steady work-life balance. We encourage you to ready your notepads because this episode is filled with timeless, life-changing insights you would want to remember! EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS With her career taking a toll on her work-life balance, Mridu begins her journey of time management and productivity, and created a business revolving around helping people "have a real life." The best measurement for productivity is how you feel at the end of the day. Productivity doesn't depend on how much you accomplish but on the significance of what you accomplish. A common struggle is we focus too much on clearing our to-do lists and too little on "what's going to make me feel successful." A common misconception for business owners is they think "success" equals "doing more." Focus more on planning, and you're gonna have less and better doing. Mridu elaborates on her 5 Umbrella Process which she runs her clients through Realize your goals and focus. What is truly important? Make adjustments to your calendar to fit your vision. What would your ideal week look like? Create a system. Everything can be systematized better, be it your personal life or professional life alike. You can never over-systematize. Get a team to delegate tasks off your plate. Boundaries and communication. Saying no is uncomfortable, but there's a way to ease that burden. Mridu provides several real-life examples of how to say no without sounding too dismissive and maintain client relationships. Setting your schedule is helpful not only for us but also for our clients. If you're delegating, you should expect 80% of what you would be able to do. It's important to look at projects and recognize which ones you can delegate. Training takes time, but not delegating it wastes more time. The best project management tool is the one you're going to use. If you're comfortable with Google Docs and it works for you, then use that for now. Think of different themes for your days to create consistency (e.g. Wednesdays are Podcast Days. Fridays are Admin and Finance Days, etc.) When bombarded by a multitude of tasks, focus on 5 things – ideally 3 Professional and 2 Personal Agendas Mridu recommends the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear 3 KEY POINTS Productivity is a state of emotion. When overwhelmed by tasks, take things one step at a time. Life is not just work. That's why it's called "work-life balance." TWEETABLE QUOTES “Life is life. It's not just work.” – Mridu Parikh “When overwhelmed by countless responsibilities, start with, ‘What are the top 5 things I can accomplish that will make me feel awesome when my head hits the pillow tonight?’” – Mridu Parikh CONNECT WITH JASON DUPRAT | | | Email: RESOURCES Want to become a Ketamine Therapy provider?

#258: How to Hire the Best Candidates For Your Business
How do you know if a person is "right for the job?" In this episode, Jason A. Duprat teaches you never-before-heard secrets and best practices on his hiring process. Developed by his amazing Executive Assistant, Jason's screening method pinpoints all the crucial factors to dig into before hiring someone, and we'll even get to hear some of the interview questions he personally uses. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Jason's original screening method was to interview applicants based on character traits and then train them on whatever skills they're lacking later on. It costs a small fortune to train somebody who doesn't know what they're doing. To save time on training, assess excellence from the very start. After hours of searching for the perfect screening method to no avail, Jason and his team decided to create their own. Jason's executive assistant helped devise an extensive screening method fine-tuned to measure someone's on-the-job competency. This screening method's questions were modelled after one of Amazon's COO tests but were modified for the particular position needed. You should hire for the character traits, but also look for those with skills at a higher level. When creating these technical tests, get right down to the crucial question: "Can this person work do this job?" As business owners, learn to embrace new perspectives. Take advice from your executive assistants and other team members. 3 KEY POINTS Make interviews more efficient by developing a streamlined screening method to test for on-the-job competency. Training costs a small fortune, so hire applicants who possess technical excellence from the very start. When hiring, get right down to the question: "Can this person do this job?" TWEETABLE QUOTES "Training costs a small fortune. Hire those not only with good character traits but also with great technical skills from the get-go." – Jason Duprat "As business-owners, learn to embrace different perspectives. There's a lot you can learn from your team members." – Jason Duprat RESOURCES Want to become a Ketamine Therapy provider?

#257: How to Build Strategic Relationships and Manage Referrals Partners to Grow Your Business with Amelia Roberts
Be clear on what problem you can solve, and people will listen. Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Amelia Roberts, Visibility Strategist, Relationships Facilitator, as well as the Founder of Solutions by Amelia. When it comes to Entrepreneurship and Marketing, Amelia's passion is second to none. In this episode, she gives us a glimpse of her years of experience in building clients’ businesses, discussing a wide variety of concepts, best practices, and personal anecdotes. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Growing up in an entrepreneurial family, Amelia has always been fond of Social Media Marketing and Business. After high school, she wanted to study Entrepreneurship but landed in Nursing. Determined to pursue her passion, she found a way to incorporate her love for business into healthcare. Amelia dives deep into her S.C.A.L.E. framework used in aiding entrepreneurs with collaborative conversations. Educate your referral partners so they can communicate the problem you can solve. Nurture your relationship with your clients, then use your first client testimonials to attract more clients. Salespeople reach out to clients on your behalf, and those reputable in the field have optimized profiles and can demonstrate their detailed steps to captivate clients. Amelia highly recommends these two books: Building a StoryBrand: Clarify Your Message So Customers Will Listen by Donald Miller The Ultimate Sales Machine: Turbocharge Your Business with Relentless Focus on 12 Key Strategies by Chet Holmes 3 KEY POINTS Apply systems, simplify approaches, and optimize your marketing strategies.

#256: Why It's Important to Practice Due Diligence To Protect Your Business From Potential Risks

#256: Why It's Important to Practice Due Diligence To Protect Your Business From Potential Risks
Being unaware of the law does not excuse you from it. In this episode, Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the importance of due diligence when taking advice. There are those who claim to be "experts" in their field but, ironically, spread misinformation, even illegal advice that could cost professionals their licenses. After listening to a podcast sharing such grave inaccuracies, Jason shares valuable insights on avoiding misinformation and seeking real professional advice. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Jason came across a podcast where the host claims to be a "Healthcare Business Expert." Ironically, pieces of advice given during the show were utterly inaccurate, even downright illegal. The consultant gave poor advice that could potentially cause people their medical licenses. One piece of advice was to work as a 1099 Contractor using your clinic's name, which risks the business entity's assets if things go wrong. It's important to work with competent consultants who've spent hours studying and are not afraid to admit what they don't know. If you don't know the rules of the Nurse Practice Act in your state, you should not be advising anybody. Read the laws word-per-word. Do not blindly follow and apply the advice you receive from anyone. Hire experienced consultants and attorneys. Invest at least five to seven thousand dollars in attorney consulting before starting your business. Thousands of dollars in consultations and legal fees are nothing considering the trouble it will save you from down the line. 3 KEY POINTS Always exercise your due diligence when absorbing information. Know the "Nurse Practice Act" in the state you're practicing in. Get good legal advice. Hire experienced consultants and attorneys. TWEETABLE QUOTES "Get good legal advice. Among tens of thousands of lines of laws, violating just one line could cost you everything." – Jason Duprat "A good consultant shares what he knows, but a great consultant admits what he doesn't know." – Jason Duprat RESOURCES Want to become a Ketamine Therapy provider?

#255: Why You Should Stop Living By The Opinions Of Others

#255: Why You Should Stop Living By The Opinions Of Others
A life well spent is a life with no regrets. Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about how life is too short to worry about the opinions of others. Instead, focus your time and energy on building the life you want and doing the things you love. You are the author of your magnificent story. Let no one take the pen away from you. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Others will always have opinions on how you should/shouldn't live your life. Always take feedback with a grain of salt as not everyone lives the life you live. People find work to be exhausting, but for those who love what they do, like Jason, it's a source of immense joy and fulfillment. Jason's father did not enjoy his job but stayed for around 28 years. Jason also experienced terrible work culture but decided to change his life for the better. One common trap to look out for in the Healthcare space and Asian cultures is relatives imposing their definitions of success on you. You have the ability to create your own definition of success. If you're not happy with what you're doing, it's never too late to change. You always have a choice. Find what does make you happy and create a business or look for employment around it. Those who are the best in their field have one thing in common: They love what they do. 3 KEY POINTS Live your life, not theirs. For those who love what they do, work isn't work. If you're not happy, you have the choice to do something differently. TWEETABLE QUOTES “We're all going to die someday, so don't have to your life based on what other people say.” – Jason Duprat “Stop existing and start living.” – Jason Duprat RESOURCES Want to become an IV Nutritional Therapy provider?

#254: The Future of Ketamine-Assisted Therapy and What It Means for Clinic Owners and Their Patients with Christi Myers
Ketamine-assisted therapy is an emerging field that’s gaining traction. Today, the medical community is increasingly accepting Ketamine-assisted therapy as a treatment option for those struggling with mental illness and substance abuse. What does this mean for clinic owners, and their patients? In this episode, Jason A. Duprat sits down with Christi Myers, Professor of Emergency Medicine, Assistant Director of Emergency Medical Services for a community college, as well as the Founder, CEO, and Director of Flow Integrative. Flow is a two-pronged approach to psychedelic wellness practiced in her very own Ketamine Clinic. In this episode, Jason and Christi shed light on a variety of topics including the stigmatized term "psychedelic" as well as the realities of mental health. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy provides people with a different perspective and helps them work on their mental health journey. We all have childhood trauma and understanding that trauma in a psychedelic realm allows assisted therapy to take place. The negative stigma around drugs and psychedelics is mainly due to a lack of understanding. Psychedelic treatment is safe and legal. It has been around for decades and is even included in the WHO's list of essential medicines. An article from 2017 states that Ketamine is naturally produced by an organism they found. Ketamine must be done professionally to avoid unnecessary risks. There's a desperation to heal, but taking drugs unsupervised is not the answer. Wellness is not a one-time thing but is a journey that needs guidance. Psychedelic treatment is not only for moving through depressive states but also for exploring one's consciousness and spiritual being. 3 KEY POINTS Despite the massive stigma, Ketamine treatment is completely safe and legal when medically supervised. Along with the growth of Ketamine-assisted practices, the negative stigma on psychedelics is slowly being dispelled. Psychedelics not only dive into one's mental aspect but also the spiritual. TWEETABLE QUOTES "None of us came out of our childhood unscathed. We all have trauma to some extent, and being aware of that trauma is the first step to allowing therapy to take place." – Christi Myers "When taking drugs, it's important to be intentional, to know why you're doing it, and most importantly, to have a medical professional guide you through the journey." – Christi Myers RESOURCES Want to become a Ketamine Therapy provider?

#253: Why It's Important To Document Every Huge Move You Make In Business And Turn Them Into Lessons

#253: Why It's Important To Document Every Huge Move You Make In Business And Turn Them Into Lessons
Being an entrepreneur is all about adapting. There are no rules, and the right decision for you might not be right for someone else. Every business is different. You need to adapt each lesson to your own situation. In this episode, Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about how best practices for others might not necessarily work the same for you. Here, you'll hear his personal story on how blindly following by-the-book strategies can backfire greatly. As entrepreneurs, knowledge can only progress when paired with a critical mind. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Jason acquired a book called "The Who: The A Method for Hiring" in hopes of solving his hiring problems. Unfortunately, the contents weren't 100% what he hoped for. When ingesting information, you have to be critical and analyze what does and doesn't apply to you. The book mentions a 4-Step Process geared more toward hiring employees, while the nature of Jason's business is more of working with contractors. What piqued Jason's interest the most was the "Reference Interview" portion, which he found counter-productive. Applicants will always mention references that are heavily biased in their favor. Jason recently hired a contractor who talked a big game but couldn't deliver what he promised, wasting plenty of resources in return. References wouldn't badmouth their acquaintances at the risk of burning bridges. In certain states, companies can even get sued for badmouthing past employees. Hire multiple people for small projects and choose the best person to keep working with moving forward. 3 KEY POINTS What works for others might not necessarily work for you. Reference-Checking is a waste of time as references will always be biased in the applicant's favor. Hire people on a short-term basis and gauge their performance from there. TWEETABLE QUOTES “Take note of past mistakes, so when the time comes, history won’t repeat itself.” – Jason Duprat "The beauty of being an entrepreneur is you're always learning. Take note of what doesn't work until you find something that does." – Jason Duprat RESOURCES Have a healthcare business question? Want to request a podcast topic?

#252: How to Leverage Your Business to Serve Others
What is your true purpose in life? In this episode, Jason Duprat talks about leveraging your business to serve others. It’s human nature to focus too much on our daily grind and on ourselves, but how often do we pause to reflect on our purpose; on giving back to the world? Jason shares personal stories on how being a healthcare entrepreneur gave him the means to do just that, especially in helping his family during difficult times. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS In continually growing your income, you'll eventually realize that money doesn't buy you true happiness. Money is not the root of all evil. Some of the wealthiest people in the world are the most generous. Having more doesn't necessarily make life easier. Jason shared how fulfilling his lifelong dream of building a pool also brought in responsibilities of tedious maintenance. More money, more problems. There's a great deal of joy, purpose, and personal satisfaction that can be gained from helping people. After four long years of working hard, Jason finally started to reap the rewards of being an entrepreneur. Keep persevering. If you can offer financial help to someone in need, do it. If you can fly across the country to help people in crisis, do it. Whatever it is, if you have the means to help, do it. 3 KEY POINTS Money can't buy you happiness, but it can give you a sense of purpose. Give back to the world. It can be through your money, time, or knowledge. You could lose everything in an instant. Use what you have not for trivial things, but for things that fulfill your purpose. TWEETABLE QUOTES “Don't wait until you think ‘you've made it’ before you start to give back to the world.” – Jason Duprat “The more you serve, the more you get back in return.” – Jason Duprat RESOURCES Have a healthcare business question?

It was with the help of his friends that Bruce tested out making a business that generates revenue out of creating software.

That’s the only way the business grows.” – Bruce Lieberthal “If you want the business to grow, you have to depend on others who have talents that you don’t have, and time to execute on those talents that you don’t have.” – Bruce Lieberthal RESOURCES Bruce’s website – Have a healthcare business question?

#250: Tactical Tuesday: How Your Pain Becomes Your Progress
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, discusses how pain is part of the process on the road toward progress. In new businesses, there will always be mistakes along the way, and these are either going to cost time or money. However, Jason points out that these challenges must be faced despite how frustrating they are because they will make you stronger as a business owner. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Pain is always present in business, taking the form of mistakes and challenges. People are innately wired to avoid pain, but it is required to go through pain because it builds character and makes you better prepared for the future. Acceptance is the key, so frustrations from pain do not upset your mental well-being. The mind remembers pain all too well, making it easy to overcome when something similar happens again. Pain is an opportunity to learn. Lessons learned from past mistakes and challenges can be used to help others trying to overcome similar situations. Connect with a community or a network of close friends to share experiences. Be that support person for somebody else in the future. 3 KEY POINTS Pain is part of the process of progress. Change into the paradigm that pain is good because it makes you better. There is a silver lining. Things will get better. TWEETABLE QUOTES “If everything is going perfect in your life and in your business, you are not learning any new lessons because everything is going great.” – Jason Duprat “You are being prepared for the next challenge – the next thing that you need to know to overcome – and the only way that you can actually retain it for that upcoming next challenge is to actually go through it.” – Jason Duprat RESOURCES Have a healthcare business question?

#249: Tactical Tuesday: Why Not Using A CRM Is Slowing Your Business's Growth

#249: Tactical Tuesday: Why Not Using A CRM Is Slowing Your Business's Growth
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about one of the common problems why business owners are doing less than they should be by not implementing a customer relationship management software. A systematized process to follow up on leads is an essential tool every business owner needs because every lead is a prospective customer. Jason explores how a CRM is beneficial in the long run, so business owners do not leave a substantial amount of revenue on the table by not properly following up with leads. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Businesses usually lose potential customers because they do not have a tool to follow up on leads. Having a CRM software helps so leads do not fall through the cracks. Paying for a simple CRM software is a cost-effective investment for a business. Another option is to set up a more complex, fully customized CRM system. A customized system – custom automation and code on the back end – is best to streamline customer service fit for the business. Using text messages to follow up on leads is more effective than emails. An example of a common CRM strategy is giving birthday discounts and deals to reengage the customer and increase lifetime value. Jason and his team will be releasing a beta CRM software specifically for clinics. Continuously add value to your customers, so they keep coming back. Use technology to its maximum capacity with a fully automated CRM system. 3 KEY POINTS CRM is a necessary business tool to follow up on leads. In business, you have to have the highest possible customer lifetime value. A fully automated CRM system is a gamechanger. TWEETABLE QUOTES “It’s just a matter of constant daily improvement, and over time, your practice will start to grow exponentially.” – Jason Duprat “You really can’t invest into paid marketing until you have a good CRM system.” – Jason Duprat RESOURCES Have a healthcare business question?

#248: Eric Miller: Build Business Profits, Enterprise Value & Assets as a Practice Owner
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, discusses businesses of private practice owners with Eric Miller, co-founder and chief financial advisor at Econologics Financial Advisors, a full-service investment advisor firm and insurance agency. Eric explains how private practice owners get abundant income streams through profitable, sustainable, and transferable businesses. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Eric grew up in a blue-collar family in Ohio. Having transferred to Clearwater, Florida, he started his financial planning practice there and decided to work with practice owners. Pick a niche to help people who are believed to be underserved. Your goals should include having income from multiple sources and building a profitable and transferable business. Keeping your assets protected from taxes, inflation, and lawsuits create the most favorable financial conditions. Being a good owner and executive, on top of being a good practitioner, gets you not only the business profits but also the enterprise value. The golden rule of income is that your business will make exactly what it thinks it needs to make to cover its most vital expenses. Consider income, value appreciation, and tax benefits before borrowing money. How it will be used will either create constructive or destructive debts. Multiple income sources in the business are typically better than focusing on one source alone. Become successful in doing the roles of the owner, executive, and practitioner by improving yourself. State statutes, insurances, umbrella policies, and business entities are tools for asset protection. 3 KEY POINTS Never be reliant on a practice alone – work to create other income sources. Executive and ownership skills are essential to scaling the business. Borrow money only if it helps the business expand and unnecessary business debt can drag you down. TWEETABLE QUOTES “You need to learn the skills of the executive and an owner because those are really ready to allow you to expand and be able to scale the business and not have it run you at some point in time.” – Eric Miller “The biggest expense you have is money that you should have made, but you didn’t.” – Eric Miller RESOURCES Eric’s website: Eric’s Linkedin: Have a healthcare business question?

#247: Tactical Tuesday: The One Thing That Can Prevent You From Getting Screwed When Someone Quits
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the importance of standard operating procedures and documentation within a business. Recently, one of the long-time contractors from his marketing department left the company in a very unprofessional way by resigning on the spot. Jason provides insight into what preparations can be done to prevent your business from struggling if situations similar to this happen to you. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS One contractor quits from Jason’s marketing team, exposing mistakes he made that would’ve certainly caused large problems in the near future. Jason had to hire a freelance contractor to go through the automation and integrations and create documentation that was never done. When hiring contractors and employees, be sure to familiarize their software tools. Marketing contractors and agencies can suddenly go out of business. Knowing the backend and having it documented saves you and your future marketers time. Splitting vital roles between two individuals ensures the business isn't left high and dry if one of them quits or gets sick. SOPs and documentation are the tools that help you free yourself from the business. Always audit internal systems to lessen mistakes and errors. As a business owner, you need to extract yourself from the business, and one of the keys to doing that is having systems, processes, and documentation in place. 3 KEY POINTS Documentation and SOPs ensure smooth transitions. Always maintain the upper hand as the business owner. Never be too dependent on one individual. TWEETABLE QUOTES “If you have a department where you only have one person who’s basically running the whole show, you’ve got to have documentation; you’ve got to have SOPs because you’re setting yourself up for big problems if they don't show up” – Jason Duprat “Don’t forget about your SOPs, don’t forget about your documentation, don’t let it go by the wayside.” – Jason Duprat RESOURCES Have a healthcare business question?

#Bonus: Champions of Charity: Kimberly Juroviesky: Ensuring Safe Ketamine Access for Pain & Mental Health Patients
04/20/2022
#Bonus: Champions of Charity: Kimberly Juroviesky: Ensuring Safe Ketamine Access for Pain & Mental Health Patients
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, is joined by Kimberly Juroviesky, a retired nurse practitioner, USAF veteran, and president of Ketamine Taskforce, Inc. Kimberly developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome due to an injury while on active duty, which led her to get ketamine infusions as part of a research study. She shares how ketamine therapy helps reduce her pain to what she describes as “liveable levels” and shares insight into her advocacy efforts to provide more patients access to ketamine therapy. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Kimberly trained to be a nurse practitioner and nurse midwife at Columbia University and The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. She joined the USAF at 37, where she tore some ligaments in her hand which eventually developed into Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Kimberly signed up to be part of a ketamine research study with hopes of easing her pain. While ketamine therapy reduces pain, provides relief from depression symptoms, and can rapidly terminate suicidal ideations, the administration of ketamine can be an unpleasant experience for some yet a pleasant and transformational experience for others. Preparing the patient for what to expect is key. Kimberly authored the book “Ketamine Infusions: A Patient’s Guide” to help others navigate ketamine therapy. The neuroplasticity effects of ketamine can be profound. The Ketamine Taskforce is founded on three things: insurance coverage, research studies, and safety. Take precautions when taking other pharmaceuticals with ketamine infusions as some may decrease the effectiveness of ketamine. Insurance coverage is the most common hurdle that makes ketamine inaccessible to many. 3 KEY POINTS Ketamine therapy is still not accessible to those who can’t afford it. Different people have different levels of response to ketamine therapy. Ketamine is not physically addictive. TWEETABLE QUOTES “You can’t give a patient something and not tell them what’s in it. It’s dishonest. I think it goes against medical ethics.” – Kimberly Juroviesky “I really strongly believe that ketamine’s neuroplasticity continues quite long afterward.” – Kimberly Juroviesky RESOURCES Ketamine Taskforce website: Have a healthcare business question?

#246: Tactical Tuesday: Stop Accepting Average If You Want Above Average Results
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the need to stop giving average effort when expectations call for above-average results. Effort is a two-way street: what you give is what you get. Jason has encountered several people whose expectations are far beyond what they do, which only falls into disappointment. He explains why a change in mindset and a performance upgrade can help you reach that above-average result. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Do everything to the best of your ability. Average businesses go out of business, often within the first three years. Evaluate yourself and step things up a notch. Take action and make constant improvements. How someone is prepared is a reflection of their performance. Don’t fall into the trap of being content with the average, especially in entrepreneurship. Maximum effort equates to a high reward. 3 KEY POINTS There is no room for average; do your best at everything you do. Always take action to improve. It is a requirement to reach the pinnacle. Hold yourself and your team to a higher standard. TWEETABLE QUOTES “Everything that you do should be aimed at doing things to your absolute best.” – Jason Duprat “If that’s how you operate, where your output is average and you are not putting forth full effort, you will not survive. You’re going to lose all of your money that you invested into your business, and you have close to zero chance of surviving beyond the first three years.” – Jason Duprat RESOURCES Have a healthcare business question?

#245: Jeremiah Robison: The Duality of Being an Entrepreneur & A Parent Seeking Solutions
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, discuss clothing for movement with Jeremiah Robison, CEO of Cionic, an innovative company building lightweight and durable bionic clothing driven by powerful algorithms that adapt in real-time to each individual’s mobility needs. Jeremiah tells how his mission to provide a wearable solution to augment function and improve outcomes for individuals impacted with neurological movement disorders, especially his daughter with cerebral palsy, has led him to establish the company. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Jeremiah was born to an entrepreneur mother running a spine therapy clinic and a computer scientist father. He got his computer science degree from Standford University. He started his career working for Apple in the 90s and for other companies. Cionic was founded with a commitment to Jeremiah’s daughter diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The journey for Cionic eventually led to the creation of the Neural Sleeve. The Neural Sleeve uses functional electrical stimulation as its augmentation strategy. It works by sending small amounts of current precisely timed into the body to force muscle contractions. One in seven people suffers from mobility impairment and disability. 60% suffer a lifetime disability in post-stroke individuals, while about half are mobility disabilities. Jeremiah is focused on his technology serving its current target market but reveals potential opportunities for performance enhancement in the sports world and beyond. Personal connections made it easy for Jeremiah to build his team and overcome challenges, including the pandemic. Challenge the thoughts and ideas of the status quo because they don’t always apply in every situation. UCSF, Cleveland Clinic, and other healthcare organizations are some sources to get funding for medical technologies. 3 KEY POINTS The best companies are built with a very personal story behind them. With machine learning and innovation, a product can make a tremendous difference. A product’s impact is its best selling point. TWEETABLE QUOTES “There is enough of the commoditization of machine learning and components that would be required to build something that could not only measure the human body but could actually influence movement.” – Jeremiah Robison “That’s a big asset if you have other people who are starting a business. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in your sector or somewhere else. And sometimes, it’s even better to be outside of your sector because they have lessons that just apply to business as a whole.” – Jeremiah Robison RESOURCES Jeremiah’s website: Have a healthcare business question?

#244: Tactical Tuesday: The Challenges of Change PLUS Exciting New Updates
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the challenges brought by changes and what to expect when changes are implemented. As Jason improves on his EOS, some inefficiencies in the system were revamped and reorganized to streamline the process further. Inevitably some team members will resist the process and changes, so he shares some insight on how to manage change and work toward building a team of above average players. Jason also provides new updates they prepared to serve the healthcare entrepreneurship space better. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Change is challenging for everyone, so addressing issues to avoid team conflict is important. Having everyone reporting directly to you is extremely hard, so hiring new talent with leadership skills will help the company grow and reduce your stress. Restructuring, rebuilding, and getting things in check are difficult but will ultimately take your company to the next level. Jason and the team have prepared new training programs and a new award with their goal to become leaders in the healthcare entrepreneurship space. It is vital to surround yourself with other entrepreneurs, so Jason and his team have started planning a new Mastermind program to create that close-knit circle Jason has partnered with a successful aesthetics physician and they have already started building a new Aesthetics Academy The Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy YouTube channel will be relaunched soon, and a new in-person consulting will also be available on a super-limited basis for those willing to have an on-site film team 3 KEY POINTS Changes need to happen for the greater good of the company. Take into account best practices from other business owners. A new approach to how to do things will be what stimulates growth in your business. TWEETABLE QUOTES “What got you to the million-dollar mark in your business is not going to be the same thing that gets you to the ten-million-dollar mark.” – Jason Duprat “Implementing change is very frustrating, tedious, time-consuming, and slows a lot of things down in the short-term, but it’s something that has to happen for long-term success.” – Jason Duprat RESOURCES Have a healthcare business question?

#243: Tactical Tuesday: Traveling Down the Path of Progression as an Entrepreneur
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the progression of an entrepreneur and how to position yourself to continue down the path of success. For entrepreneurs to scale up their businesses, they have to learn how to gain leverage, understand leverage, and utilize it to their benefit. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Jason watched a YouTube video and learned that to grow, you need to learn how to utilize leverage. Leverage has four components: labor, capital, digital media, and code. Labor - you have to ask and motivate employees. Collaboration with a team is necessary to create a product or service and ensure successful delivery to customers. Capital - a business cannot run without capital. Use capital to leverage marketing and have your system down pat by knowing how much to invest and what the ROI is. Digital media - you don’t have to pay a cost to replicate content and this includes licensing. Code - code can do the work of labor with fewer mistakes, fewer costs, and less downtime. Think of this as a pyramid. Labor is at the bottom. Move out of the position of making money for someone else and make money for yourself. Start your progression by stepping out of the W-2 job and becoming a 1099. Next in the progression is to become a business owner. Leverage team skills and time. After this, start to create content and focus on digital content. At the top of the pyramid, you’re already leveraging content and media and it’s onto code. Jason is at this level right now. Jason watched another YouTube video and shared two key takeaways. One, if your business is earning 0 to $1 million, focus on selling one core product to a single ideal customer. Get good at what you do. Once you reach $1 million, you can scale your market. Determine ways to offer lifetime value to your customer. Listen to current customers and offer products/services during their journey. Upsell! Jason is learning from successful billionaires and by investing in his education. He spent $47k last year on courses, masterminds, books, etc. The game is real. Invest in your education. Shortcut your path to success and financial freedom. 3 KEY POINTS Learn, understand, and utilize leverage to your advantage. Becoming a 1099 makes you learn more business skills compared to being a W2 employee. Ensure your business offers lifetime customer value. TWEETABLE QUOTES “If you start to invest in your education and invest in those relationships with people that are doing things at the next level, then you’re going to figure the game out much faster.” – Jason Duprat “It’s way easier to shift your mindset when you’re not around people who don’t share the same mindset.” – Jason Duprat RESOURCES Have a healthcare business question?

#242: Aaron LeBauer: Scaling Impact & Income with a Cash-Based Practice
Overview: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast interviews Aaron LeBauer, PT, DPT, host of The Cash PT Lunch Hour Podcast, author of The Cash PT blueprint, and international speaker. Aaron discusses how to efficiently run a cash-based practice without relying on insurance reimbursements. He also provides insightful advice for effective financial management and result-driven marketing to scale your practice - including how to market directly to patients. Episode Highlights: Aaron shares his aspirations of becoming a professional cyclist and how being a massage therapist provided the financial resources for his passion. His wife encouraged him to go to PT school and after he graduated, he started his cash-based practice in 2009. Aaron shares his advice for individuals transitioning towards practice ownership and that is to get in front of people, ask questions, and provide value. He markets directly to patients and not physicians. When he first opened his practice, he went to neighborhood meet and greets, and fairs. He was told patients wouldn’t be able to afford his care and it’s not ethical to run a cash-based practice. Aaron believes persistence wins. And it’s important to cultivate word-of-mouth referrals. When caring for patients, ask questions, offer value, and do something to help them. Know their struggles, problems, and desires. The language you use to speak with your patients is very important. It must be empowering instead of taking the power away from them. You can do the right thing and it can be done in an untraditional framework. Aaron’s mission is to help patients stay fit, healthy, and strong without pain medications, injections, or surgery. 3 Key Points: Get in front of people, ask questions and offer value. Gather leads and have a system where you can follow up with leads. Cultivate “word-of-mouth” referrals and ask them to send their family and friends to you. Owning a business isn’t easy. You have to know why you do it and you have to be dedicated to doing it. Tweetable Quotes: “Websites are like business cards. We have to market directly to people who want our services.” – Aaron LeBauer “Finding a mentor that can show you the step-by-step way of building a cash-based practice is a faster and easier road to success than trying to figure it out and reinvent the wheel.” – Aaron LeBauer Resources: Free CashPT Blueprint: The Cash PT Lunch Hour Podcast: Website: #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #healthcare #HealthcareBoss #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #podcast #cashbasedpractice #physicaltherapy #patientcare #healthcareaccess

#241: Tactical Tuesday: 5 Ways to Scale & Expand Your Business Market
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about choosing the right market for your business model. To achieve favorable outcomes, entrepreneurs should offer products or services to a market with the best possible opportunities. Jason shares five ways to scale up and expand the right market to achieve growth. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS In episode #238, Jason talked about how entrepreneurs can bottleneck their businesses. Another bottleneck to consider is the market you serve. A good market has five attributes: it's large-sized, has a solvable pain point, has purchasing power, is easy to get in front of in a cost-effective way, and it’s growing. Large-sized markets ensure the business has customer reach. Your products or services must be the solution to an existing problem in the chosen market. Purchasing power is especially vital – a business cannot thrive if customers cannot afford it. Choose a market where advertising is easy and cost-effective. Make sure the chosen market is growing and not declining. Jason has spoken with other high-level entrepreneurs and they all say your choice of the market is key. Ask questions, do research, and analyze. There are five ways you can scale up or expand your market. One option is to upmarket by serving bigger players to increase your reach and improve efficiency in growing sales. The second option is to downmarket and get in front of potential clients before they need your product or service. A third option is to go to an adjacent market as they have similar needs. The fourth is to offer more services in general. The last option is to go deeper within your existing market by buying competitors, opening more locations, or offering different delivery platforms. 3 KEY POINTS The market has a direct relationship to the success of a business. A good market for your business has five attributes: it’s large, has a solvable problem, has purchasing power, is easy to get in front of, and is experiencing growth. As an entrepreneur, ask questions, do research, and analyze your market to scale up. TWEETABLE QUOTES “If you have a poor entrepreneur in a fantastic market, the market is going to win, and that entrepreneur is going to look like a rockstar.” – Jason Duprat “The choice of the market is key, and you’ll see investors, those big players are always asking questions and analyzing the market.” – Jason Duprat RESOURCES Have a healthcare business question?

#240: Tactical Tuesday: Hire A-Players to Build a Team of Rock Stars
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, discusses a hiring system he learned after attending a recent mastermind. The hiring process is mission-critical for the success of your business because the team is responsible for outcomes. Jason provides tips for seeking out A-player candidates, the best way to conduct interviews, and why you should always be in a recruiting mode. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS The hiring process is an important step for driving business success. You should hire new employees based on core values. When interviewing applicants, avoid making decisions based on gut feelings. Bill Allen, a real estate investor, and entrepreneur was a speaker at a recent mastermind Jason attended. He recommends the book Who: The A Method of Hiring by Geoff Smart and Randy Street because it has a well-researched hiring system. When you make a bad hire, it costs you at least that position’s salary. And that figure can go up to 5-15x based on time and money. Start with a good job description. Have a crystal clear vision about the work to be done and how performance will be measured. Use a scorecard and include the mission of the job, six to seven detailed breakdowns of what the position will do, and when the actions should be completed. Break down interviews into three to filter top candidates for the position. The first is the screening interview. Ask applicants about career goals, skills, strengths, weaknesses, and who their last five bosses were. Next is the main interview, where references (the last five bosses) are called to probe deeper into the applicant's experience and performance. The last is the focused interview which highlights the specific skills and traits demanded by the job. Always be in a recruiting mode because you never know when rockstar employees are looking. A-players are pulled to other jobs; B and C players are pushed out the door. If you want an above-average business, you need to hire significantly above-average people. 3 KEY POINTS Business success lies in the employment process because it's the first step to building a team. Interviewing is critical in the hiring process so it must be done thoughtfully and intentionally. Hire new employees based on core values. Accept applications even when there are no positions open – sell the opportunity to work for your business. TWEETABLE QUOTES “Don’t wait to hire until you’re feeling overwhelmed.

#239: Hilary Bricken and Ethan Minkin: Psychedelic Law & The Use of Ketamine
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks with Hilary Bricken, Partner and Attorney, and Ethan Minkin, Attorney with Harris Bricken, an international law firm. Hilary and Ethan discuss the legalities of psychedelics and ketamine. They also highlight the value of entrepreneurship for moving psychedelic efficacy and advocacy forward. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Ethan started his law career in 1999 with an interest in healthcare regulatory work, litigation, and transaction. He joined Harris Bricken 1.5 years ago with a focus on psychedelics. Hilary is a partner at Harris Bricken and her expertise is in controlled substances regulation, legal reform, and policy reform. There’s increasing discomfort from entrepreneurs surrounding the overregulation of psychedelics and ketamine. Work is being done in Oregon that will be the best test case. If the state beats the federal level, opportunities will open up. Right now, there’s no reimbursement for ketamine since it’s off-label. Hilary and Ethan are proponents of off-label ketamine because it’s innovative, guarantees an income stream, and is advantageous over its traditional use. Controlled substances can be prescribed through telemedicine under certain circumstances. Ketamine should be part of a treatment plan and not a one-stop option. Therapists and psychologists should be involved in a patient’s care plan. In the last three years, many clinics have added mental health therapy as part of their provider services. Combining ketamine and concierge care is possible as long as it's compliant with laws and regulations. False advertising is penalized under consumer protection laws, so credible studies must be cited in the literature. The quality of literature should be statistically significant - the gold standard - and include high-impact journals like JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association). 3 KEY POINTS Psychedelics and ketamine have a potentially broader reach if regulations are relaxed. The path of entrepreneurship is critical for building a full suite of services for psychedelics. Protection of patients and consumers always comes first. TWEETABLE QUOTES “A first-mover advantage is a thing, but if it’s ketamine, you’re dealing with a very antiquated, heavily regulated, extremely consequential system, so proceed accordingly.” – Hilary Bricken “If you’re treating someone for a mental health issue, make sure they’re also seeing a therapist or a psychologist, and not just getting ketamine and being sent on their way.” - Ethan Minkin RESOURCE Harris Bricken website: Harris Bricken Psychedelics Law blog: Have a healthcare business question?

#238: Tactical Tuesday: Unbottleneck your Business & Grow as an Entrepreneur
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about how entrepreneurs bottleneck their business and how to undo it through introspection and growth. Jason has been running his business for quite some time now, and his interactions with other business owners made him realize the problem lies in the entrepreneur. He discusses four ways in which a business can get bottlenecked. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Businesses get bottlenecked because of the entrepreneurs or owners themselves. There are four ways to bottleneck a business: skills deficit, character/trait deficit, mindset/belief deficit, and desire deficit. Skill can be taught, learned, and acquired. Examples of skills include conducting a marketing or promotional campaign, managing teams, and leading employees. If you find yourself saying things like “It’s so hard to find good help” or “No one can do it as well as me” or “My team’s performance fluctuates,” be self-aware. This lies within you and your skills as the leader. Always assess the root cause of the problem. Do the reps to improve, pause to get feedback, make improvements, and continue to put in the reps. Enjoy the process as you continue to hone your skills. Your mindset deficit includes negative, false, and self-doubting thoughts that ruminate in your head. Examples include “It’s too risky or too hard to become an entrepreneur” or “Managing a team is too stressful” or “I might fail and I don’t have what it takes.” Recognize this and work to overcome this negative mindset because it’s bad for business. Your character includes the mental and moral qualities that make you distinctive as an individual. Your character traits are features of your character. Character and trait deficits are difficult to mold and change. They require work, therapy, and religion to improve. A desire deficit means you don’t want to grow as a company or as an entrepreneur. If you don’t have a desire, you can’t work on the other deficit areas of skills, character, and mindset. Don’t be a drifter. Drifters are reactionary and don’t make good entrepreneurs. 3 KEY POINTS Assess the root cause of the problem. Determine the framework for the root cause and flip it. If you’re struggling with hiring good employees, ask yourself: What can I do to get better at recruiting, managing, and motivating? When you have a negative mindset, recognize this and outwork your self-doubt. When you hire new employees, look for someone who demonstrates high character over high skills because skills can be learned. TWEETABLE QUOTES “When your business has issues, don’t point the finger. Look inward.” – Jason Duprat “There are four ways businesses get bottlenecked. There’s a skills deficit, character deficit, mindset deficit, or desire deficit.” – Jason Duprat RESOURCES Have a healthcare business question? Want to request a podcast topic?

#237: Tactical Tuesday: The Value of High-Level Masterminds: Shift your Mindset, Open your Eyes & Keep Looking Forward
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the value of high-level masterminds with entrepreneurs who are crushing it. He recorded this episode while in Mexico, where he’s attending a five-day mastermind event with Russell Brunson, the co-founder of the software company ClickFunnels. Jason highlights the importance of learning from others so you can follow their path to build a successful business. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: When you attend a high-level mastermind, you can network with like-minded professionals who are steps ahead of you. They can shine a light on your path forward. At this particular conference, there are a variety of entrepreneurial levels. Some are just getting their funnels off the ground and some have worked for decades. Some are bricks and mortar owners, and others have online businesses and agencies. Jason believes your business is an asset so you should continuously strive to build your asset. Don’t trade your time for dollars in a W2 role. If you’re a Type A kind of person, it can be easy to fixate on business challenges like broken systems, customer complaints, and automation breaks. High-level masterminds allow you to shift your mindset and open your eyes so you can improve your business. Pursue continuous learning and ways to improve so you can get to that next level. Jason plans to launch a two-tier mastermind of his own: one for newer entrepreneurs and another for healthcare entrepreneurs with at least one million dollars in revenue. When you attend a high-level mastermind, you won’t walk away with a single golden nugget. Instead, you’ll receive a dozen golden nuggets to help you tweak your business to achieve incremental growth. 3 KEY POINTS High-level masterminds allow you to surround yourself with people who are 5,10,20 steps ahead. You have the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and experiences to better manage growing pains. Work towards incremental progress. Strive to get 1% better each month and leverage this compound factor to consistently improve your business. Hard days are part of the process, and that’s okay. Continue to go upwards because that way, you can see results. TWEETABLE QUOTES: “Seeing other people who are just crushing it helps you keep looking forward because sometimes, in between these events, just like anything in life, you reach those hard days that are a little bit frustrating.” – Jason Duprat “If you’re constantly trying to learn and improve yourself, you can elevate all of the skills you need to get to that next level.” – Jason Duprat RESOURCES: There are several ways to connect with Jason and stay up to date on his upcoming mastermind.

#236: Kathryn Walker: Providing Consistent & Compassionate Care with Ketamine Therapy

#236: Kathryn Walker: Providing Consistent & Compassionate Care with Ketamine Therapy
Overview: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, speaks with Kathryn Walker, MSN, APRN, CRNA, SPMHNP, and CEO of Revitalist Wellness. Kathryn talks about the importance of offering quality care for patients and providers. She shares her experiences opening and running her Ketamine practice and discusses the process of going public and working with a public partner. Episode Highlights: Kathryn grew up in TN and earned two degrees. She started in a Level One Trauma Center. She then became a nurse assistant, worked in the ICU, and also worked as a travel nurse. She was well-versed in the inpatient world. In 2018, she opened Revitalist, an outpatient Ketamine clinic. Kathryn recognized the problems in the current health system. She focused on bringing quality care to patients and providers with consistency and compassion. Entrepreneurship is a skill and she’s still learning. She’s open to being taught and learning from others. Healthcare workers are not the best business people because they’re linear. There’s a steep learning curve. Kathryn is an advocate for bringing in healthcare experts to find success as an entrepreneur and practice owner. National organizations, state boards, and legal professionals are all complimentary services with specific roles to support and protect you. Initially, Kathryn started with a 50/50 partner. It was stressful yet helpful to bounce ideas off of each other. When it comes to a partnership, find someone you trust and who understands your mission and vision. As a ketamine clinic owner, you take on the problems of running the business and you take on people who feel like they’re failing in life. You’ll get patients who aren’t nice and you’ll get transference. Keep it simple, recognize you’re there to help and prioritize. Make sure your patients are safe and they’re heard. As soon as Kathryn opened her practice, she offered ketamine and vitamin infusions. She also offers therapy and has seen patients improve immensely over time. In August 2021, she began working with a public market partner. It’s been a very tedious process. Now, she’s focused on running a business and trying to make her investors happy. Revitalist is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange. It’s strict yet more friendly to small businesses than the Nasdaq. Her future plans include getting the best people. She currently has an R&D division with 18 projects. Her goal is to have 150 US clinics by 2025. 3 Key Points: Provide health services based on the need. Keep things simple and safe for patients and providers. Kathryn is focused on adding service lines to help communities grow through increased access, education, awareness, and safety. She wants to infiltrate the entire healthcare system and bring about necessary change. Build a team with value, trust, and learn from each other to provide better healthcare. Tweetable Quotes: “You're sacrificing to better help this person who's probably in some of the darkest, deepest times of their life.” - Kathryn Walker “We're just trying to attract the best and push as aggressively as we can in a very safe and empowering way.” - Kathryn Walker Resources: Kathryn’s website: Free masterclass on Starting a Ketamine Infusion Clinic: Have a healthcare business question?

#235: Tactical Tuesday: Follow your Company’s Core Values to Gain a Substantial Market Advantage
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the importance of establishing core values for your business. He’s in the process of implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and core values are a key element. Jason shares why core values should be your company’s North Star and how they impact business success. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Your business can gain a substantial market advantage by reinforcing core values, especially in growing small to medium-sized businesses. Don’t deviate from them - especially when you’re hiring new employees. Start with 25-30 and distill down to three. Jason shares the three core values he established for HEA. The first one is impeccable character. Work with humility and don’t be arrogant or have an ego. Act with honesty and integrity 100% of the time. His second core value is to be tactfully forthright. Provide feedback politely and professionally. Don’t be afraid to speak the truth to better the team. If you see something wrong, communicate this. The third one is the pursuit of greatness. Show dedication to your role, team, and job. Have a desire to excel. Be highly ambitious and always strive to make the user experience better. When you create your company’s core values, use everyday language. Think of the beliefs and characteristics of the team. Core values should be innate. Stick to your core values unwaveringly to set yourself up for business success. 3 KEY POINTS Establishing and not deviating from core values is essential for business growth. Create three or four core values, so they are easy to remember, implement, and manage. Hire and fire employees with your core values in mind. Think of it as pruning for growth. TWEETABLE QUOTES “Your business is only as strong as the sum of its parts, and each one of those parts has to adhere to those core values, or things are going to start to crumble.” – Jason Duprat “If you wouldn’t work with somebody for a decade, then don’t work with them for a day.” – Jason Duprat RESOURCES Have a healthcare business question?

#234: Tactical Tuesday: Implement an Enterprise Business System to Manage Growing Pains
OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, shares useful tips on how to set up an operating system for your business. Jason is implementing the Entrepreneurial Operation System (EOS) which is based on the book Traction, by Gino Wickman. He paints the picture for getting started with this patented process and also shares the lesson of putting rocks, pebbles, and sand into a jar to demonstrate business priorities. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: HEA has grown over the last few years and Jason has realized he needs to implement a system to streamline communications, operations, and priorities. EOS has been used by his colleagues KC Devine and Eric Ehle, as well as his new digital marketer. This system is a patented process for companies with 10-250 employees and adds structure. The learning and implementation process will take 1-2 years. The framework is to understand and communicate the vision, mission, and goals of your business with your team. Jason shares the example of a jar with rocks, pebbles, and sand. The rocks are quarterly goals and go into the jar first. The pebbles are the second tier and they go in next. The sand represents daily tasks and they go in last. In this order, you can fit all elements into the jar i.e. operate efficiently. Jason started out as a solopreneur and now has 21 contractors around the world. He recommends setting up a system when your team grows to 2-3 people versus waiting until later. Meetings are necessary. They move the business forward and they’re vital to the growth of your business and team. 3 KEY POINTS: Setting up an operating system will help you manage a growing team with greater efficiency and clarify priorities. The only way to grow is to grow a team. The sooner you implement systems, the easier it is to manage growing pains. You must communicate your vision, mission, and goals to the team. Goals are the equivalent of rocks and should be the top priority, with second-tier goals (pebbles) and daily tasks (sand) supporting the goals. They all work together.
