My Journey from Pain Management to Pursuing Unlimited Potential
As we kick off this newsletter, I want to give you a quick overview of my life and plans. I'll dive deeper into specifics in future issues.
My Background:
I'm a physician specializing in anesthesiology with a sub-specialty in chronic pain management. About a year ago, fresh out of training, I started my own pain management practice.
Outside of medicine, I'm passionate about entrepreneurship. My initial vision was to use my medical practice as a financial springboard to explore other business ventures.
The Change:
I've come to realize that running a pain practice can't be a part-time pursuit, at least not for many years, if ever. This realization made me reevaluate my original plan.
I faced a choice: dedicate years to building a pain practice for its own sake or find a different path. While I appreciate the privilege of helping people manage their pain, the current challenges in the medical profession have made this decision easier than I expected.
My New Direction:
I'm now pursuing a life where my endeavors have unlimited potential. I eventually want:
Massive freedom over my schedule and work location
To run businesses that generate income even when I'm not actively working
The ability to delegate responsibilities and potentially sell my ventures in the future
I aspire to be like the entrepreneurs I've studied - creative problem-solvers who build businesses that enable this lifestyle.
The Path Forward:
There's no clear roadmap to my goals. I'm excited about the learning journey ahead, but I'm also prepared for multiple failures before finding success.
My Strategy:
Leverage my anesthesiology background to work part-time, ensuring financial stability.
Use my free time as 'startup time'.
Continue building my personal brand, which I believe will be a valuable long-term asset.
Develop internet-based businesses (currently in early stages).
