[Thursday Shift]: I Don't Think I Have the Personality to Run a Business

Description

If you’ve ever thought, “I want my own practice, but I don’t have the personality to run a business,” this episode will shift everything.


In this Thursday Shift, we’re breaking down where that belief comes from, why it’s completely false, and what actually makes someone a strong practice owner. (Hint: it’s not being extroverted, loud, or “naturally business-minded.”)


 


You’ll learn why business ownership is a skill set — not a personality type — and how the same qualities that make you a great physician already make you a strong leader.


🎧 Listen for a quick mindset reset that will remind you: you don’t need a new personality… you just need a new belief about what’s possible for you.
