I’ve Been In Your Shoes…  
After a few years of being in practice, I loved serving patients, but I couldn’t see myself working the hours I was for the impact and income I was making.
I was bogged down in paperwork and trading time for dollars. I didn’t have the freedom to travel without it massively impacting my bottom line. 
I just didn’t feel like this was a recipe for “getting ahead” and creating the type of lifestyle that I wanted. A lifestyle that allowed me to earn money from a remote office, and leverage the internet to drive residual income. 
I Needed An Upgrade In Thinking & Systems to Break 7 Figures & Create The Lifestyle I Wanted
I started thinking, “There has got to be a better way. What if I could create a virtual system that got better results with my patients? 
What if I could use the internet to positively impact people around the world? What if I could create scalable streams of residual income that would help me break through the 7-figure range?” 
Then I thought, “Hey, if I’m going to create my dream life, why not do it in such a way that it wouldn’t feel like ‘work’, rather I would be in my ‘retirement’, working in my gifting and doing the things I love?”  
At the same time I was challenging my belief system, I started noticing the quality of life of all the doctors working around me.
They worked long hours in the name of the “mission”, or because they “had to” but they had no balance and many of them were being controlled by the insurance industry or “the system”.  
I knew that this wasn’t what I wanted for my future and that I needed to “get out”, and start an entirely new model. 
The Advice A Mentor Told Me That Skyrocketed My Growth 
One of my mentors told me two things that changed the game for me:  
"Isaac, if you don’t create the future that you want, then you will end up creating the vision that someone else has for their future. You don’t need to have all the answers. Just pursue your vision and the answers will come.”  
And the second thing he told me was: 
“Surround yourself with abundant minded people that have created massive success in the areas you want to grow, and model them. Don’t reinvent the wheel. You’ll waist too much money and time.” 
Taking The Leap of Faith To Building My Dream Business & Life 
I didn’t know how I was going to do it. But that didn’t stop me. While I was still in practice, I invested time in building my dream business on the side. 
In 2009 I envisioned running a virtual practice selling “high-ticket” one-on-one health consulting programs.   I envisioned creating digital online programs and “one-to-many” online programs that could transform the health of people that go through them without having to invest much of my own time. 
I was starting to think “smart”. 
And I saw myself selling supplements and products in my online store that would also be a source of residual income.  
So I did it.
It wasn’t easy. I wish I had an “evolved version of myself” that I could have learned from…
But I began pioneering the virtual practice and online authority marketing.
But after cutting my teeth and making 100’s of mistakes, I finally created more freedom. I found myself running my business from:
- A Chalet in the Cognac Region of France
- A yacht parked overtop of the great barrier reef in Australia
- The lounge at the Four Seasons Tokyo during my culinary tour of Japan
- My Mom & Dads house in Toronto, Canada
You name it, I was running my business and making money anywhere I went. My virtual practice and online brand allowed me to:
- Break past the 7 figure range (I’m currently in a private Mastermind of internet marketers all scaling over 8-figures).
- The time to invest into executing other ideas I’ve had (such as serving doctors and health professionals in events and masterminds).
- Build my dream house and buy my dream car.
I made a lot of mistakes along the way, wasting time and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Because of my success, word started to spread amongst the leaders in the health space.
Soon enough doctors were reaching out to me asking for coaching and training.
The first person I helped in 2012 was my good friend Josh Wagner. He flew up to Toronto where I was living at the time (I currently live in Atlanta), and we masterminded for a few hours. He flew back to New York and within a few months he built his dream business that was location independent.
