Episode 13: Why Being Average Sucks & How To Make Your Practice Better
Running your own functional medicine practice is hard, no two ways about it. And sometimes it is easy to let things slide as “good enough” when we have so many pressing needs grasping for our attention. Unfortunately, that mentality can also keep your practice from growing, or worse, send it in to a decline. This can be especially true for our mindsets and communication.
Michael Bernoff is a coach, a mentor, and an unrivaled expert on human influence and interpersonal communication. He joins us again for another episode of the FM Shift podcast to talk about his new book, Average Sucks. Heather and I are knee-deep in this book right now, and it is chock full of actionable, implementable information that helps entrepreneurs get in touch with who they really are. If you are feeling stuck, or you just want to take your career to a new level, Michael Bernoff brings tons of value to the table yet again. This time, as an author too.
