In the journey toward starting and growing a profitable physiatry practice, the road is often riddled with uncertainty. Fear of failure and a lack of deep industry knowledge can hold many promising physiatrists back. Self-trust is the cornerstone of success in both life and business.

Imagine standing at the threshold of your dreams, your hands shaky with the weight of potential mistakes. It’s a scenario many medical professionals find themselves in. The fear of making wrong decisions, or worse, repeating past errors, can paralyze. Yet, embracing your past mistakes as mere stepping stones is crucial. Winston Churchill once said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” This wisdom rings especially true in the high-stakes world of healthcare.

As physiatrists, it’s easy to be intimidated by the enormity of starting your own practice. The vision of a thriving business serving countless patients may seem distant when viewed from the precipice of decision-making. But break that monumental dream into manageable mini-goals, much like the small, easy wins suggested in the article. Celebrate each small victory—each patient helped, each new skill acquired—as these are the positive momentum builders that propel you forward.

Many physiatrists experience a disconnect between their medical training and the business acumen required to run a practice. This gap often serves as the bed of fear that prevents talented individuals from branching out on their own. However, recall the times when your instincts led to positive outcomes in your clinical practices—these are direct evidence of your capability to make sound decisions. These instances of trust in your professional judgment are not isolated; they are a testament to your ability to lead a business successfully.

To those standing on the brink of starting their own practice, consider this: every moment you spend second-guessing your potential, you drift further from the thriving practice that could be. The industry needs leaders with self-trust in their own capabilities as much as they trust in the medical knowledge they wield.

Starting your own physiatry practice is not just about finding financial independence; it’s about reclaiming the art of medicine, practicing on your terms, and making an impact on your community. Trust yourself to make the journey from practitioner to entrepreneurial leader. Remember, the only person who can truly determine your path is you. So, trust in your ability, take the leap, and watch as your dream practice takes form.

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.
