Entrepreneur Rx Praise
“Physicians often find the ideas of entrepreneurship and business development daunting and overwhelming as not within their realm of expertise. In doing so, they neglect their intellectual skills and work ethic honed over years of training and clinical practice.
Dr. Shufeldt merges his clinical and business acumen with an easily readable style to make this journey accessible to all. While this is his “I wish I had it years ago” book, the reader is the beneficiary of his successes (and failures!). I would encourage any physician interested in undertaking non-clinical endeavors to spend a few hours with Dr. Shufeldt—the time will be well worth the investment.”

“Without raising the bar or pushing the envelope, you’ll likely never fail at much and thus never get to really make lasting contributions. Remember, it’s the ability to take risks, to have your ego bruised, to get up, dust yourself off and press on, which changes the world.”
