The Confidence Trap: Trading Ego for Exponential Impact: Jamey’s Story

By Miranda Dorta

In the world of entrepreneurship, the mindset of "I'm the only one who can do it right" is as seductive as it is dangerous.

This ego-driven mentality feels empowering in the moment, fueling your ambition and sense of being indispensable. But it inevitably becomes a blinding mind trap, causing you to shut out other perspectives and discount the strengths of your team.

Escaping the heroic individual contributor mindset requires discomfort - relinquishing total control and redefining your self-worth beyond being the star performer.

Thriving Together: Overcoming Professional Isolation in Physician-Owned Practices

By Tracy Cherpeski

Behind many successful physician-owners lies a silent struggle: a deeply-felt sense of professional isolation.

Physician-owned practices have a profound community impact by fostering personalized patient care, promoting local economic growth, and preserving a sense of familiarity and trust within their community. Unlike a hospital or larger practice where social contact and networking is practically built-in, owning a practice, or any business, can feel quite isolating. As a physician-owner, your team is likely made up of just you, possibly a small handful of other providers, and your clinical support and administrative teams.

High Turnover? Maybe It’s a You Problem

By Tracy Cherpeski

I said it. Maybe turnover is a you problem.

Stay with me here.

If you follow the news, economic forecasts or anything remotely connected to the outside world, you’re hearing a lot about recession and labor shortages. So, logically, that could explain why your practice is experiencing high turnover. And that’s that, right?

Except, it’s not. I wish it were simple, but if it were, then you’d be destined not to have a capable, well-trained team working with you. It’s not that you’re a bad boss or yours is a toxic work environment (if it is, that’s a whole other conversation).

Boldly Going...Where you want to go

I like to live my life the way I like my coffee: bold, strong, multi-faceted and somewhat sweet, with a touch of indulgent, creamy goodness. The above quote really caught me because as I look back over the last few years, I see that through some difficult times and struggles, I have found my rhythm, I am living my life with intention, and I have become bolder. I still have goals I want to reach, and aspirations that need attention. I am a work in progress...
