Treat building your team the same way you treat making sales.
If you’re trying to scale your business as a physician entrepreneur, here’s the truth:
You can’t grow if everything depends on you.
Hiring a team isn’t a luxury. It’s a requirement.
Not just to get more done—but to buy back your time and multiply your results.
Your Team Is Not Overhead—It’s Your Multiplier
Think of it like this:
- Every highly competent team member you train = less you carry
- The more empowered your team, the faster you grow
“Your team is your multiplier. They create time, impact, and scale.”
And yet, most physician entrepreneurs treat team development as an afterthought.
You know what gets the attention?
- Marketing
- Sales
- Systems
But what if team building became a top-level activity in your business?
What if you prioritized your people the same way you prioritize profits?
Build Your Team Like a CEO, Not a Technician
Here’s what this looks like when done right:
1. Train Them Well
Stop expecting your team to guess.
Train them with intention.
This includes:
- Clarity around responsibilities
- Documented systems and SOPs
- Hands-on training to set the standard
“I treat team building like sales. It’s daily, strategic, and ongoing.”
2. Coach Them Into Their Zone of Genius
Everyone has one.
It’s your job to help them find it—and operate in it.
Ask:
- What do they do exceptionally well?
- What energizes them?
- What slows them down?
Then do the work to align their role with their strengths.
This isn’t just about delegation.
It’s about development.
“I sat with my practice administrator for an hour just to co-create her calendar.”
Why? Because if she spends 80% of her time in her zone of genius—everybody wins.

3. Delegate With Clarity and Trust
Delegation isn’t dumping.
It’s a leadership skill.
That means:
- Assigning outcomes, not just tasks
- Equipping your team with what they need
- Trusting them to deliver (with accountability baked in)
If you’re still doing what someone on your payroll should be doing—you’re costing the business.
“Most physicians are paying team members to do things… but still doing them anyway.”
Stop the leakage.
Start delegating with authority.
Build Your Team, Buy Back Your Time
Every hour you spend building your team’s capacity is an investment in your freedom.
That training you didn’t want to do?
That’s what frees up your calendar next month.
That system you documented today?
That’s what lets your EA handle it without you tomorrow.
That coaching call with your new hire?
That’s what turns them into a leader that drives outcomes.
