The interview
What was your background before finding the Perfect Practice Mentorship?
We were just two sisters with a big dream. We're not doctors; we didn't come from a medical background. Carol was a teacher and Carla was an engineer. We just had a passion for health and wellness after Carla helped Carol heal during a difficult time.
How did Sachin Patel and Perfect Practice help you form your business?
Sachin helped us put our big ideas into systems so that we could effectively serve people and also get compensated for the services we were providing. He provided the structure and the systems to our big ideas.
What made you decide to join the mentorship group?
Carla was online listening to Sachin and told Carol she found the perfect person to join. We joined and never looked back for three years. It gave us the community we were looking for, helped formulate the practice, and provided the medical content we needed.
What is the biggest difference in your life since working with the mentorship?
The biggest difference is what we gained in self-confidence and our commitment to health and wellness, becoming disruptors in the current healthcare industry. We feel empowered. Sachin showed us how to shore up our edges, fill in our holes, and have a platform to get this out to the people.
How has the mentorship impacted your clients?
We've been getting powerful transformations for our clients. They have reported a better way of life and a true lifestyle change for them and their families. Being able to bring a client as a case study before the group of physicians has been immeasurable in the value we give.
What surprises you most about the Perfect Practice community?
The teaching is timeless and remains relevant no matter where you are in the process. Also, the heart of the community and the connection; it feels like a real family that is heart-centered and heart-led.
What specific freedoms were you looking for in your business?
We are in our 50s and didn't want to build a business that's a cage. We wanted financial freedom, distance freedom to work from home or the beach, and emotional freedom to serve people as we get older.
What were your results when you officially launched your practice?
We started with zero clients, but we came on so strong and professional that people started referring. We literally started with 50 people—unheard of! When we opened our doors, everyone really poured in.
