What if your business could grow by 657% in just one year as a Physician Entrepreneur?
Sounds wild, right?
That’s exactly what happened. And no, it wasn’t magic. It wasn’t luck. It wasn’t overnight. But it was intentional.
This post is for every physician-turned-entrepreneur who feels stuck, limited, or quietly wondering if this whole business thing will ever “click.”
Here’s how it did for me—and how it can for you too.
1. Get Visible or Stay Stuck
A lot of physicians are playing small. Hiding in Facebook groups. Attending events but not speaking up. Creating great content no one sees.
I used to do that too.
Until I realized visibility creates opportunity.
A post in a physician-only Facebook group turned into speaking gigs, client leads, and eventually—an invitation to a high-level mastermind of women running 7+ figure companies. That one connection opened doors I couldn’t even imagine.
If no one knows you exist, they can’t refer you, hire you, or collaborate with you.
Action Step:
Be 10x more visible. Speak up in online groups. Guest on podcasts. Teach live. Comment, post, share. You never know who’s watching.
2. Invest in the Right Rooms
After getting that invite, I paid my way to a mastermind retreat in Miami. Hotel. Flights. Childcare. Time off from my practice.
Was it uncomfortable? Yes.
Was it worth it? A hundred times yes.
At that event, I listened to a 32-year-old new mom say she turned down a 9-figure offer for her company—because they were already doing an “easy million a month.”
That one sentence broke my brain in the best way.
Because up until then, I didn’t believe a $1M year was possible for me. After hearing her, I couldn’t unsee the vision.
Action Step:
Invest in community. Join masterminds. Attend live events. Put yourself in rooms where the norm is what currently feels impossible to you.
3. Think in Pathways, Not Pipe Dreams
After Miami, I owned the goal: $1M in revenue in a single year.
But I had no idea how to make it real.
So I did something simple and powerful: I walked the beach for 3 hours.
No distractions. Just me, my AirPods, and a mission to reverse-engineer the math.
By the end of that walk, I’d shifted our price point from $597 to $997/month. And I wasn’t guessing—it was grounded in the value we were delivering. I believed it. And when you believe it, you can sell it.
We relaunched with the new price point and brought in 42 physicians at $10,000 each.
Action Step:
Use “pathways thinking.” Stop saying, “I hope it works.” Start asking, “What’s the actual math? What needs to happen?” Break it down until it’s real.
4. Live in the 20% (Eat the Frogs)
The 80/20 rule is cute in theory. But here’s the truth:
If you want exponential growth, you need to live in your 20%.
That means:
- Making offers
- Selling (a lot)
- Speaking
- Hosting events
- Following up
When I committed to the million-dollar year, I did a virtual live event and invited everyone—friends, past leads, my email list, you name it. During and after the event, I kept showing up, kept promoting, kept going.
Comfort doesn’t create results.
Action Step:
Get crystal clear on what actually moves the needle in your business—and do more of that. If it feels hard, do it first. If it’s scary, do it twice. It’s frog-eating season.
5. Own the Goal Until You Hit It
Most people date their goals. I married mine.
From January to mid-December, I didn’t let up. I kept promoting. Kept showing up. Kept asking: “What’s required next?”
We didn’t hit $1M in July. Not even in October. It was mid-December before we crossed the finish line. And we didn’t stop there—we exceeded it.
That goal shaped me. And that’s the point.
It’s not just about hitting numbers. It’s about who you become by going all-in.
Action Step:
Set the goal. Own it. Don’t flirt with it. Don’t “hope” for it. Become the person who makes it inevitable.
