(if I may say so myself). But when I turned 17, I packed it all up to start Medical School. Why ? Because it was the “safe path”. A “good use” of my grades and intelligence. But Medicine never felt right for me.
I LOVED innovating, problem solving, moving at my own pace.
All things that entrepreneurship allowed me to do. And so 7 years later, I quit and started the business I run now.
But nothing could have prepared me for the identity loss that came with leaving Medicine. One thing I REALLY struggled with, was telling people that “I run my own business” instead of “I’m a doctor”.
Because “I’m a doctor” carries connotations. “I run my own business” could mean anything. This is not to put anyone down, it’s just to show that sometimes,
we tie ourselves to things that don’t actually make us happy,
just because we care too much about what others think. Yes, my business is incredibly successful now,
but in the early days,
I had to learn that I am WORTHY regardless of what other people thought of me. Until you are able to do that,
leaving Medicine won’t feel like freedom.
It'll just feel like losing something.
So instead of quitting, start by learning and loving who you are when the title is gone.
That’s what will lead you to make the right decisions for YOU. In your career and in all other aspects of life. - P.S. I give healthcare professionals the CONFIDENCE to build their personal brand & use it to build a life and business THEY LOVE. Follow for more 📲 Love,
