“Why did you open your own practice?”
Apparently, I felt my life was missing a few expenses and a round-the-clock job.
But really, I wanted more say in how I spent my days, how I cared for my patients, and what I was building with all those years of training.
Was it the perfect time? Far from it.
There was always going to be a reason to wait. A busy season, another expense, something else to figure out. At some point, I had to decide whether I wanted to keep thinking about it or actually do it.
Getting to build a practice that feels like me—and care for my patients the way I’ve always wanted to—makes it worth the effort.
If you’re waiting for a completely convenient time to go after something you want, take the chance. Do the work. Adjust when you need to. You don’t have to have every detail figured out to get started.
