Why “Business as Usual” Is Over
You felt it before you saw it.
Healthcare is in disruption.
Telemedicine scaled fast.
Retail clinics expanded.
Scope and staffing shifted.
Competition multiplied.
Clinical excellence still matters.
But it isn’t enough.
A physician entrepreneur must adapt.
Those who do, win.
Those who don’t, wonder what happened.
Think Blockbuster versus Netflix.
Think taxis versus rideshare.
Complacency lost.
Visibility, agility, and strategy won.
What Is a Physician Entrepreneur?
A physician entrepreneur doesn’t stop at clinical skill.
They add business skill.
They own outcomes beyond the exam room.
They treat their career like a company.
Regardless of employment status.
The mindset is simple.
You work for one entity: Doctor You, Inc.
You negotiate, position, and build as that entity.
You create freedom on purpose.
