""Doctor's are horrible at business". I think that dogmatic opinion exists because many doctors are in positions working 50-70 hours a week. And thats AFTER years of training where you are working 60-100 hours/week. Business/financial education isn't part of that training. After training once you are finally making "real money" many have families and hobbies outside of work. There is literally minimal time to learn how to manage money much less start/grow a business through all of that. But don't be discouraged if you are interested in life as an SMB owner but feel like you don't "understand"

"I have a 2-day a week position as a physician and a 7-days a week position as a co-owner of a SMB. What has been essential is having a co-owner that can pickup slack when I'm doing at the hospital. And vice-versa I help when he's head down in his W2 job. We built a business while both holding w2 jobs. The cost of this is slower growth and less free time. But hiring a sales person has helped tremendously and I wish we had done that sooner. I posted a position on LinkedIn and he reached out to us"

I'll save most people the time of reading: ApoB testing is a validated and recommended risk assessment (not diagnostic) tool to use when evaluating your cardiovascular risk (risk of things like heart attack stroke). It's a blood test that doesn't even require fasting so it's not hard to do. High levels mean higher risk of the bad cardiovascular events mentioned above. My PERSONAL commentary after review of some of the data: I'm a fan of risk assessment tools because they guide my actions on"

For example there is a prostate cancer risk assessment tool that can determine you have an estimated x% risk of developing intermediate cancer. So lets say the number comes back at 13%. That number means different things to different people. Is it worth doing a biopsy for someone at 13% Does this result in anxiety for years as we decide to do biopsies (Biopsy is not risk free).

"I've used loom to create a video of doing certain steps in the process then fed the transcription to the AI chat bot de jour to create an SOP a few time. It does speed up the process of getting documentation down but it takes some discipline and decision making to determine whats actually worth putting down on paper (or screen). and with constant evolving processes an SOP isn't good for long"

"Update on AR automation project; Paidnice is great. Lots of customization for cadence of reminders escalations for invoices. Integrates easily with qbo. Responsive dev team. The challenge: no built in payment processing. Stripe can connect but for b2b with high $ amount and thin margins we cant absorb CC transactions fees so passing those through to customer is not possible with integrated stripe. Our solution: Helcim for CC processing which we can push invoice # and dollar amount to the Helcim payment portal. Its clunky but working for now. If we can improve the payment processing it will be"

"A lot of general advice about how systems are essential to scale and that you have to get those right before you hire or pay for automation software. As a newish business owner my general impression is that its really hard (impossible) to make a system if you dont actually know what work is being done. And to know what work is being done Ive had to do the work. Example: I have learned how to use salesforce as a platform to process orders. I know how to talk to people. I know how to write an email. But to write an SOP for our order processing I needed to know how to actually process the order"

Before trying to decide whos right take a moment to notice/appreciate: [---] intelligent experienced people disagreeing on a topic -an illustration of how data interpretation leads to different conclusions -how communication styles differ when there are opposing views.

"Many businesses exist to relieve a pain. Medicine has provided me with an opportunity to help relieve pain at a very high volume. Because of this my observation is that there are a lot of lessons that can be applied to business ownership. Two examples: -availability: answering the phone and/or email promptly while providing a solution quickly will often times exceed expectations. This creates a very positive experience for the patient (customer) -kindness: listening demonstrating understanding showing respect build trust. Patients (customers) like working with people and are loyal to those"
