Entrepreneur Rx

As a physician you are in a unique position to become a great entrepreneur. On a base level, all physicians are conditioned to recognize problems, make a diagnosis and then take action. You are used to  split-second decision making based on the data at hand. Physicians need to be creative and think on their feet without divorcing themselves from the facts and data. Entrepreneurs see the world through a similar lens, by seeing the potential to change the world in every idea. They have the vision to look beyond what they want to see in order to accurately read the data before them. 

However, an idea is not enough. Even the best idea in the world is no guarantee of success. You have to believe in what you are doing, yes, but you also have to have the tenacity to deal with the day-to-day. As a physician, you may just have the grit needed to take action. 

This assessment is going to determine where your mindset is today. It is not meant to turn you off of your ambition. If you aren’t quite where you need to be in order to launch your entrepreneurial journey, I’ll share some resources and advice to get you on better footing.
