Hey guys and welcome back to the Medical Entrepreneur podcast.
My name is Adam Sewell, and this is where we teach you how to break free from traditional medicine, carve the career of your dreams, and still do what you love.
If you are just starting your career in medicine or want to leave the flawed mainstream healthcare system behind, you may be wondering: what is a medical entrepreneur? And do I have what it takes to become one?
These are very important questions because, at the beginning of your independent journey, it is essential to understand what exactly medical entrepreneurs do and how they differ from other health professionals.
So without further ado, let’s get right into it!
What Are Medical Entrepreneurs?
By definition, a medical entrepreneur is a business owner in the medical field. Typically that is a practitioner with their own medical practice.
Medical Entrepreneurs are in the top 3% of professionals in medicine and that is largely due to the fact that owning their own practices allows them to prosper in their respective fields.
So, unless you want to be employed by someone and have them tell you what to do, when to do it and how to do it, becoming a medical entrepreneur is the only way to succeed in this field really.
Because the mainstream medical system will have you overworked and underpaid – and in those conditions, it is practically impossible to grow professionally. And that is exactly why I always preach freedom through prosperity!
What Does It Take to Be a Medical Entrepreneur?
While every person is unique, all successful medical entrepreneurs share some traits that are necessary to succeed in this field. On one hand, they are very dedicated, focused, and willing to work very hard to achieve their professional goals.
On the other side, they have strong critical thinking skills and understand that it does not make sense to take all the risks of the medical profession, do all the work and then take home only a small percentage of the revenue they generate.
What Business Are They In?
Another trait successful medical entrepreneurs share is the understanding of what business they are in.
As a trained medical specialist, it is very easy to get lost in your own profession and only think about advancing your medical skills and knowledge. But to be a successful medical entrepreneur, you need to be good at running a business as well.
This requires a lot of entrepreneurial knowledge and marketing skills.
The Number One Secret to Running a Succesful Medical Practice
The number one secret to running a successful medical practice is to become magnetic to patients. And you can do this with one easy trick. But first, let me explain what I even mean by that.
As a healthcare professional, it doesn’t look good if you chase patients. And either way, you cannot talk patients into coming to you. If you try to do that, your practice is likely to fail. So what should you do?
We often forget how valuable and thus marketable our knowledge is. People are hungry for information that we know from the top of our heads. To capitalize on this and become magnetic to patients, you just need really good messaging.
Map Out Your Customer Journey
Good messaging requires mapping out your customer journey. By mapping out the journey your patients go through, you can identify critical points in that journey and help your patients before they even arrive at your office. This way, your potential customer will know that you are not only knowledgeable in your field, but also trustworthy and helpful. Bam! You have a new patient just like that.
By working on your business and marketing skills, you will eventually become a patient magnet and your practice will fill itself and you will achieve freedom through prosperity.
