Entrepreneurial Myth

I've owned my own business for sometime. It's the hardest thing you'll ever do. Anyone considering having their own medical practice should first read the book E-Myth by Michael E. Gerber. It's a fast read and a real eye-opener for any doctor considering the possibility of starting a new medical practice.

Hi,

Well, I have been dithering over this career decision myself - to ditch my regular job and set up my own medical practice... And every morning I make up my mind to go ahead, something happens to change it...

I seriously am looking for good inspiration on this front!

I know Frank as he has started a number of practices and I am sure he would be most helpful in not only answering some of the toughest questions a new physician may have when considering opening a solo practice. Comparing the pros and cons on your own to the advantages of joining a group.

Also, For the more experienced physician groups considering joining forces with others, He has vast experience in that area as well! IMHO start asking him for free basic advice.

I know that Frank Gamma has some pamphlets on this very subject. You can contact him through this forum.
