____________ Dr. Mike Woo-Ming shares the "Let Them Theory" from Mel Robbins' book Let Them on the Bootstrap MD podcast. This mindset helps physicians release the need to control others' opinions, freeing energy for building cash-based practices or scaling businesses. He lists five energy drains—being misunderstood, questioned, compared, doubted, or resisted—and urges doctors to let go of people-pleasing. Examples include a client succeeding in a weight loss clinic despite doubters. Dr. Woo-Ming suggests practicing this mindset daily and joining his free Doctor's Online Success community.

Three Actionable Takeaways:

• Use the "Let Them" Mantra: Daily, recite "Let them think it. Let them say it. Let them go." Write down one criticism to release (e.g., a peer's doubt about your practice)
• Target Your Ideal Audience: Focus on patients or clients who value your mission, letting go of those who question or compare your services.
• Build a Supportive Network: Let resistant team members adapt or leave. Join the free Doctor's Online Success community (skool.com) to connect with like-minded physicians.
