Get unstuck and break free from autopilot. If you’ve been running your business the same way for years without real progress, you might feel like you’re trapped in a cycle of repetition. The good news? There’s a way to shift gears, escape stagnation, and scale faster.
She was six years into running her private practice.
From the outside, everything looked great—her schedule was full, revenue was steady, and she had a growing team.
But behind the scenes? She was exhausted.
She felt stuck in a cycle—busy every day but never truly moving forward. Every December, she would set ambitious goals for the next year, hoping for a breakthrough.
Yet, year after year, she found herself in the exact same place.
Then, one conversation changed everything.
A mentor asked her a simple but painful question:
“Do you have six years of business experience? Or have you repeated the same year six times?”
She sat in silence.
For the first time, she realized she had been repeating the same mistakes—never stopping to evaluate, adjust, or improve.
That moment was a turning point.
She started using a simple Monthly Audit—a five-question framework that helped her identify what was working, fix what wasn’t, and optimize for growth.
Within six months, everything changed.
✔ Her revenue increased by 40%.
✔ She cut out 10+ hours of wasted work per week.
✔ She hired the right people, eliminating daily stress.
✔ She finally felt in control of her business and her life.
The best part? She wasn’t working harder—just smarter.
If you’ve been running on autopilot, repeating the same cycle, it’s time to break free.
This simple audit will help you turn every 30 days into a launchpad for massive growth.
The Biggest Reason You Feel Stuck
Before we dive into the solution, let’s talk about the real problem.
The reason most physician entrepreneurs don’t grow?
They operate in autopilot mode.
They’re constantly busy but rarely making real progress. They assume “experience” alone will lead to growth.
But here’s the hard truth:
Do you have 10 years of business experience?
Or have you repeated the same year 10 times?
This realization can sting. But the good news? You can change this starting today.
The Monthly Audit is a game-changer.
It’s the one shift that separates doctors who scale to seven figures in two years… from those who stay stuck for a decade.
The 5-Question Monthly Audit That Will Get You Unstuck
Take an hour each month, grab a notebook, and ask yourself these five powerful questions:
1. What Progress Have I Made in the Last 30 Days?
Most people feel stuck because they never measure their wins.
Look at every area: business, finances, health, relationships, mindset.
Write down every small win—no matter how minor.
Example: Did you gain new patients? Improve your team’s performance? Build a system that saves time?
This step trains your brain to recognize progress—fueling momentum and motivation.
2. What Actions Created the Biggest Results?
Not all effort is equal.
Identify what specific actions led to your biggest wins.
Example: Did a pricing adjustment increase revenue? Did a new process improve efficiency?
Once you know which actions drive the most growth, do more of them.
Most doctors focus on being busy instead of being effective.
Imagine realizing that one small shift—like optimizing your intake process—could increase revenue by 20% without more work.
This is how you start winning without burning out.
3. What Did I Neglect to Do That Could Have Moved Me Forward?
Most business owners have blind spots.
What missed opportunities could have led to better results?
Example: Did you avoid hiring a key team member? Neglect to follow up on leads? Skip marketing efforts?
This step prevents you from repeating the same mistakes next month.
4. What Obstacles Stopped Me, and How Do I Eliminate Them?
This is where real growth happens.
Identify what specifically stopped you from taking action.
Example: Fear of selling, lack of delegation, self-doubt, time mismanagement?
Once you name the obstacle, you control it—instead of it controlling you.
Most doctors stay stuck because they never take time to identify the real reasons behind their roadblocks.
This one step alone can save you years of frustration.
5. Knowing What I Know Now, How Will I Show Up Differently Next Month?
This is where you turn insights into action.
What will you do differently?
Example: If you lost patients due to long wait times, will you improve scheduling? If you neglected marketing, will you set a system for weekly content?
This ensures every month is better than the last.
How the Monthly Audit Will 10X Your Business in One Year
If you do this every 30 days, here’s what will happen:
✔ January will be good, but February will be better.
✔ February will be better, but March will be next-level.
✔ By December, you’ll have achieved more than in the last 5 years combined.
Your business, income, and confidence will skyrocket—because you’ll be learning and adjusting faster than 99% of people.
But here’s the catch:
Most people will read this and do nothing.
But the few who take action will see radical transformation.
Will you be one of them?
Challenge: Set a 30-minute calendar reminder every month for your Monthly Audit. Try it once and see what happens.
