76. Monday Motivation: 3 Lessons from Our Retreat [Facebook Live]

Welcome to the very first episode of Monday Motivation, a special mini-series of the Physician Business Podcast based on a Monday morning Facebook Live. Each Monday, Dr. Matthea Rentea and I chat live to bring you real conversations, fresh perspectives, practical strategies, and a little Monday morning inspiration in order to help you build a business and a life that truly lights you up.

For our inaugural episode, we're sharing three big takeaways from our recent female physician entrepreneur business retreat in Dallas, TX.

In this episode, we each share important lessons from the retreat, including:

1. The Power of Elimination: Create Space for What's Next

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your business isn't adding another strategy, project, or responsibility. It's letting something go.

2. Find Your People: The Power of Community

One of the most meaningful things we heard at our retreat was how many women said, "I found my people."  Being a physician entrepreneur can feel isolating. You don't always fit into the traditional medical community, and traditional business advice doesn't always account for the realities of practicing medicine.  Having a community of women that understands your challenges is incredibly powerful, as is the reminder that you don't have to figure everything out by yourself.

3. Be Willing to Be Wrong: Challenge Your Assumptions

What if some of the things you've believed about your business, your capabilities, or what's possible aren't actually true?  What if you embraced a “Yes, and….” approach to life?  We explore why being willing to question your assumptions is essential to growth, why you have to take action before you can gain clarity, and how giving yourself permission to experiment can open up entirely new possibilities.

A Few Questions to Consider This Week:

• What could you eliminate from your life or business to create more space for what matters?
• Do you have a community of people who truly understand what you're trying to build?
• What assumption about your business might be worth questioning?
• What idea have you been dismissing before giving it a chance to grow?
