What is success for a physician?
Update: 2025-09-15
Description
So I was reading "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek, and there's a moment in the book where Simon gets to attend a conference with select business leaders, and the conference began with these two questions:
"Raise your hand if you have reached many or all of your financial goals."
"And Raise your hand if you feel successful." (and many of the hands went down).
I wondered how this would apply to physicians. Many of us see physicians as being successful just by being a physician, but I wonder how many physicians, whether they have achieved a number of financial goals or metrics, actually feel successful.
