Welcome to the first ever ‘Business of Lifestyle Medicine’ newsletter.

Let’s start with some basic maths.

Lifestyle Medicine is not a household name…YET.

What would change that?

For LM to be well known, that means the whole Australia population (26 million humans) would need to know about it.

According to some customer service data, a happy customer will share there positive experience with around 6 people.

Here is the maths (by someone who used to be good at maths at school and then hardly used it again).
 

26 million/6 people = 4.33 million people

This is the amount of ‘happy customers’ that would required. We assume that each person tells at least 6 other people how awesome Lifestyle Medicine is.
 

The rest depends on how many people each LM practitioner reaches.

–> 4333 LM practitioners reaching 1000 people each.

–> 433 LM practitioners reaching 10,000 people each.

–> 43 LM practitioners reaching 100,000 people each.

–> 4 ish LM practitioners reaching 1 million people each.
 

If we commit to this alone, the numbers are overwhelming.

If we commit to this together, the numbers become inevitable.

What will this take?

1) More Lifestyle Medicine practitioners.

If you want to learn more about Lifestyle Medicine, join the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine (ASLM). In 10 years, when LM is mainstream in Australia and New Zealand, we will likely trace it back to ASLM.

2) Remarkable results.

Seth Godin defines the word remarkable as something ‘worthy of remark’.

When we help other people using Lifestyle Medicine, do such a good job that they tell others.

I have met LM practitioners who are doing remarkable things.

Reversing diabetes.

Reversing autoimmune diseases.

Helping people live longer.

Getting people a good night’s sleep.

Giving menopausal women their lives back.

Making people deliriously happy #DoHappy.

3) Business skills

Health professionals do not get taught the skill of business during their training.

Archimedes said, “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.”

The lever to your Lifestyle Medicine expertise is business. It will be like rocket fuel for your expertise.

It is my genuine desire that this newsletter becomes a launching pad.

A launching pad for you to take your expertise, share it with the world, and make some $.

Much love to you and of course, myself.

My aim is to help 100 LM practitioners make their first $100k doing meaningful work that they love #LM100.

REPLY to this email if you think I can help with this. 

A 100+ LM practitioners armed with business acumen will supercharge the journey towards LM world domination!

My prediction is that things won’t go to plan and still, it will be better than we could have ever imagined.
