From Burnout to Business: How One Physician Entrepreneur Doubled Her Income by Building a Thriving Profitable Practice

One Physician Entrepreneur within the EntreMD Business School was facing stage 4 cancer a few years ago.
A single mom.
Exhausted.
Overwhelmed.
And unsure if launching a business was even possible.

But deep down, she knew staying stuck in the traditional system wasn’t sustainable.
So she did the unthinkable.
She bet on herself.

And everything changed.

Let’s Talk About What Most Physicians Don’t:

• We’re overworked and underpaid.
• We’re buried in admin and insurance red tape.
• We want more freedom—but have no idea where to start.

That’s where she was too.
But instead of staying stuck, she made one powerful decision:
She joined a business school built for physicians, by a physician.

The result?
She opened the first direct care rheumatology practice of its kind in Colorado.
She’s been profitable since month one.
And she just hit her highest income month ever—50% up from the last.

Here’s how she did it.

Tangible Wins You Can’t Ignore

• Launched a specialty direct-care clinic without any prior business background
• Was profitable from month one—never once in the red
• Pays herself a solid physician salary working only 4 half-days per week
• Hit exponential income growth in 2024 (and climbing)
• Left locums for good, on her terms
• Built a team that actually loves coming to work

All while raising a child and managing the long-term effects of cancer recovery.

No outside investors.
No office space overhead.
No insurance drama.

She followed a simple but powerful roadmap:
Learn business.
Implement.
Grow.

The Real Shift Wasn’t Just Money

Here’s what’s not on a spreadsheet:

• Letting go of locums because her clinic now supports her fully
• Creating a culture where staff says, “This job grounds me”
• Being the role model other physicians now have on their vision boards
• Flying business class using points earned through savvy business systems
• Feeling the joy of building something that aligns with her values

That’s more than just a business win.
That’s a life redesign.

What Made the Difference?

This wasn’t just hustle.
It was support, strategy, and structure.

Inside the EntreMD Business School, she didn’t just learn how to run a business.
She learned how to think like an entrepreneur.

She wasn’t handed a checklist—she was handed a community.
And that community became the foundation for everything she’s built.

Here’s what she said:

“I didn’t know anything about business. Now I’m teaching others how to scale. That came from being immersed in a group of physician entrepreneurs who made this feel possible.”

She leveraged what she learned—everything from pricing, profit-first finance, team-building, and client acquisition—without overworking herself.

Because inside EBS, physicians don’t just build businesses.
They build lives they don’t need to escape from.

For the Physicians Still on the Fence

Let’s get honest:

• Do you feel overworked, stuck, and undervalued?
• Do you want more income, more impact, and more autonomy?
• Are you tired of watching others win, while you wait for the “right time”?

Then you’re not actually on the fence.

You’re just one decision away.

But here’s the thing:

EBS isn’t magic.
You don’t pay the fee and get a turnkey business.

“You’ve got to water the seed,” she said.
“You don’t pay for the outcome. You pay for the access. Then you work the plan.”

If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and make that dream real—
Not just for your bank account, but for your sanity—
Then EBS might just be the best decision you’ve ever made.

Here’s What to Take Away From Her Story:

You don’t need an MBA to build a profitable practice
You can earn more while working less
You won’t have to figure it out alone
You will need to take ownership—but that’s where the transformation begins

Her story isn’t a unicorn.
It’s a repeatable blueprint.

You bring the dream.
EBS gives you the tools.
