As a physiatrist ready to step into the entrepreneurial arena, it’s easy to cling to the safe harbors of traditional practice—steady income, structured work hours, and predictable days. However, if you dream of running a profitable and independent practice, you must first embrace a key ingredient: Risk.
Imagine standing at the precipice of opportunity. Below you lies the vast unknown—a leap of faith filled with potential triumphs and setbacks. The conventional wisdom from our childhood, teaching us to avoid risks and stick to the well-trodden path, becomes the shackles that limit our true potential. It’s time to break free.

Embrace the Thrill of Uncertainty

Every successful physiatrist who has ventured into their practice knows that risk isn’t just a possibility; it’s an essential stepping stone. Consider it the crucible through which innovation and growth are forged. Taking small, calculated risks daily not only builds your capabilities but expands your threshold for bigger challenges. This incremental bravery turns the daunting into the doable, transforming your practice from a mere job into a thriving, fulfilling journey.

Failure: The Stepping Stone to Mastery

The road to independence in physiatry is paved with trials and errors. Embracing risk means making peace with failure—not as a defeat but as a vital teacher. Each setback offers invaluable lessons that sharpen your decision-making and refine your strategies. It’s not the absence of failures but your response to them that will define your practice’s trajectory. Learn, adapt, and overcome.

Visualize Success

Take a moment and envision your successful practice. What does it look like? How does it feel to have achieved your goals? Visualization is not just daydreaming; it is a powerful tool used by elite athletes and top CEOs alike. It focuses the mind, reduces anxiety associated with risks, and primes you for success. Your mind’s eye can be your best ally in navigating the uncertainties of starting and running your practice.

Go Big or Go Home

Why set modest goals when you can aim for transformative growth? High achievers, including the most successful physiatrists, set monumental goals. They understand that even if they fall short, they’ll still be far ahead of where they would have been with smaller ambitions. This mindset not only motivates but also catapults you into a realm of possibilities where your practice can not only survive but significantly prosper.
By mastering risk, not only do you set the stage for greater financial independence, but you also reclaim your right to practice medicine on your terms. This is about more than income; it’s about creating a legacy and a lifestyle that resonates with your deepest values and aspirations.
As you stand today, poised at the edge of potential, remember: the greatest risk is not taking one at all. Embrace it, learn from every outcome, and build the practice that only you can. Your journey toward a thriving, independent physiatry practice is just one daring decision away. Are you ready to take the leap?

Once you’ve decided that you want to leave your current job to start your practice, you need an exit plan. Check out our blog post here for tips on developing an exit plan and starting your new independent practice.
