Episode 45: How Physicians Becoming Entrepreneurs Could Save Healthcare w/Dr. Ernesto Gutierrez

SHOW NOTES:

This week next level entrepreneur Dr. Ernesto Gutierrez and I talk about how important personal development is as an entrepreneur, and how we as physicians have an opportunity to save healthcare.

Here are some highlights from the conversation:

Ernesto Gutierrez:

● A physician entrepreneur / coach.

● Realized that all his formation was aimed for him to be a good doctor, but not how to run a clinic or a practice as business. Stuff like negotiating rent, manage salaries, leading a team, delegating, etc.

● He figured out that being a good doctors is not the same as being a good business manager, and that patients can also be clients.

Entrepreneurship

● Entrepreneurship is much more than just having a lot of theory in your head. It’s also about being adaptable and resourceful. It’s about going out for experience as soon as you can.

● Physicians know that’s necessary to have all things ready before starting....to be able to anticipate all potential scenarios before going out there. And they jump into entrepreneurship with the same mindset.  

● It’s not necessary to have the finish line in sight in order to start with entrepreneurship. For example, Jeff Bezos probably didn’t even image Amazon in today’s dimension when he started. If he had, he’d probably be too petrified to even start. He started with what he had. “Not being good enough” is not an acceptable excuse.

Personal Development

● It’s that growth that allows you to look into bigger goals as you keep going. What is first out of reach, after some time becomes possible. It's just a matter of getting to that point.

● There’s not only one path to build a business or make money. Opening yourself to the possibilities is also growing. It’s just a matter of flexing those muscles. Think outside the box to step outside the box.

● A lot of people who went into medicine think that they are now forced to become doctors and pursue a clinical career. There’s nothing wrong if it - if that’s what you really want. But alternatives are okay too. Nobody will take away your experience and it's fine to pursue what makes you happy.

What is the most fun thing about running your business?

● I get to call the shots, I get to decide who I work with. I work on my own terms. This is important, especially in quarantine times. Me, as a physician.
