The Healthpreneur Show with Yuri Elkaim

Welcome to a solo round of the Healthpreneur Podcast. Today I’m discussing the topic of idea versus execution. Where would you place your bet? Me? Idea. All day long. 

Some people think flawless execution is more important than a great idea. But the thing is that there is a cap on execution. Once you’ve got it down, there’s nothing left to do except, well, generate more ideas to keep growing! You see, the possibility for better, stronger, and more innovative ideas is endless.  

And you, as the owner and thought-leader of your business, have the power to generate these powerful ideas. Execution can be delegated to someone else – but ideas can’t. Tune in to hear my stance on the idea versus execution debate and get clear on where you’re needed most in your business.  

1:00 – 2:30 - The two sides to the debate and what they mean 

2:30 – 5:00 - Why some people succeed and others don’t when using the same process 

5:00 – 6:30 - Why it always comes down to the big idea 

6:30 – 8:30 - Delegating the execution process and using your brain for something else 

8:30 – 9:00 - Social media examples  

9:00 – 11:00 - Why great ideas are endless and execution comes second 

It’s time to wake up, guys, because today we’ve got The Sleep Doctor on the Healthpreneur Podcast! Dr. Michael Breus is a Clinical Psychologist, Diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine, and Fellow of The American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and he specializes in Sleep Disorders. He is on the clinical advisory board of The Dr. Oz Show, and has appeared on the show 39 times.  

Although his accomplishments make you wonder if this guy even sleeps (he does, and he loves it), he’s gone through great lengths to helps others optimize their sleep health in an industry where voices and credentials like his own are rare. Although he claims to not be much of a businessman, The Sleep Doctor knew when to reach out for help and how to make his way into local, regional, then national media. 

Dr. Michael Breus generously shares with us the steps he took to make it into national media and stay there. He didn’t just hustle; he created a game plan, stuck to it, and fostered relationships that were win-win. Tune in to hear Michael’s media secrets, his biggest blooper, and why it’s so important to “be a good date.” 

In this episode, Michael and I discuss: 

• How he got the name and URL “The Sleep Doctor.” 

• Hiring a manager to get exposed and grow the business.  
• The secrets to his media success. 
• His appearance on Oprah and how it was a blooper turned pot of gold.

Welcome back, Healthpreneurs! Today we’ve got Ricki Heller on the show, and she’s going to share with us how persistence can lead to success. With persistence – and a sense of humor – Ricki got Ellen DeGeneres to publicly recommend her self-published book.

Hey guys, welcome back to the Healthpreneur Podcast. And guess what? I’m back on Instagram! Let me tell you why. I’m sure you’ve heard me talk why I left Instagram in the first place. But you’ve also heard me talk about the number one thing you should have locked in before veering off into anything else: Your perfect process.  

You see, your process must be locked in (and working!) before moving on to the next steps that could just distract you from your goal – to make money. This is the difference between businesses that take years – if ever – to take off, and those that are humming like a well-oiled machine weeks, if not months, after launching.  

That’s why I made sure my Perfect Client Pipeline was in place, and working perfectly, before getting back on Instagram. Now, I can share my thoughts and connect with people on Instagram while knowing that my process is making me money and working without my presence. If you’re wondering what’s taking so long for your business to take off or you want to finally set your priorities straight, tune in! 

1:00 – 3:30 - Where your focus in business needs to be and the ideal model to use  

3:30 – 5:30 - Why your perfect process needs to come first 

5:30 – 7:00 - What happens when it doesn’t, and the lesson I learned  

7:00 – 13:00 - The reason I’m back on Instagram and what I locked in first 

13:00 – 14:30 - The thought process behind the choice to get back on Instagram 

14:30 – 16:00 – How I can support you in building your process
