As a physician entrepreneur You don’t need more time. You need a new way of thinking.
Want to build a business, homeschool your kids, go on vacation, and still have white space to think?
You can.
It starts with one decision: operate in your zone of genius.
The version of you that’s buried in low-level tasks, stuck in the weeds, and constantly reacting?
That version can’t scale.
But the version of you that invests time like a billionaire investor—that version changes everything.
Here’s exactly how to do it.
The 5 High-Leverage Habits That Change Everything
Just five decisions that buy back your time, multiply your impact, and reduce burnout.
1. Get Ruthlessly Clear
Clarity eliminates waste.
Be crystal clear on:
- Where you’re going
- What path will get you there
- What’s not worth your time
When a shiny object shows up, ask:
“Does this align with my vision?”
If not, say no—without apology.
2. Operate in Your Zone of Genius
This is the game-changer.
Your zone of genius is the highest-value activity in your business.
You’re great at it. You love it. It moves the needle.
Examples?
- Engineering systems that create client transformation
- Creating content that shifts beliefs and builds trust
- Collaborating with your team or strategic partners to drive outcomes
Spend more time here.
Protect it.
Build your business around it.
You’ll get more done in half a day than most people do in two weeks.
3. Be Ruthless with Your Time
Stop spending hours doing what others can do 80% as well.
Say no to things that drain your energy.
Say no to what doesn’t scale.
Say no to “just this once” tasks that keep creeping in.
Ask yourself daily:
“Is this a good investment of my time?”
Because time is more valuable than money—and you can’t afford to waste either.
4. Make Team Building a Top Priority
Treat building your team the same way you treat making sales.
That means:
- Training your team well
- Coaching them to operate in their zone of genius
- Delegating with clarity and trust
Your team is a multiplier.
The more competent they are, the less you carry—and the faster you grow.
5. Build Systems That Outlive You
Stop reinventing the wheel.
Turn one-time wins into long-term leverage.
Think:
- SOPs for onboarding
- Frameworks for transformation
- Templates for communication
- Systems for recurring outcomes
Build your business like a tree, not a to-do list.
The more you systemize, the less you grind.
