In this Thursday Shift, we’re tackling a mindset block almost every physician has when they start thinking about private practice:
“I’ll figure out the business plan later.”
Today, I’m walking you through why this belief keeps you stuck — and why your business plan isn’t just paperwork. It’s clarity. It’s protection. It’s your first real act of ownership.
Inside the episode, we cover:
What You’ll Learn- Why avoiding a business plan leads to more overwhelm, not less
- How a business plan protects you from building a practice that burns you out
- The role of clarity in shifting from “employed mindset” to “owner mindset”
- Why your business plan becomes your compass when the process feels chaotic
- How planning actually creates freedom instead of limiting it
Your business plan doesn’t have to be perfect before you start. It just needs to exist.
Creating it forces you to think like a CEO — not an employee hoping everything works out.
Want Help Building Yours?If you're ready to stop circling the idea of your practice and actually put a plan on paper, my digital course Plan to Practice walks you step-by-step through building your entire business plan — from vision, to services, to finances, to operations.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
