You know it’s time to leave corporate medicine. But every time you think about starting your own clinic, it feels overwhelming. Licensing. Business structure. Insurance. EMR systems.
Where do you even begin?
Most physicians get so bogged down in the process that they either never start—or they hand over $40K to a turnkey service, only to feel just as powerless as they did in their day job. But the truth is, starting your own clinic is far simpler than it seems.
In this episode, I walk you through the 6 essential steps I use with clients to launch lean, stay focused, and keep costs low. No overwhelm. No bloated startup costs. No overcomplicated systems. Just a clear, practical roadmap to go from employee to independent clinic owner.
You'll learn:
- Why most physicians overcomplicate clinic setup
- How to prioritize cash flow over perfection using my lean startup approach
- The surprising milestone that means you're officially “in business” (hint: it’s not launching your website)
Your independence doesn’t hinge on a perfect plan. It just takes the right next step.
