#219: How Starting a Business Can Give You Freedom and Purpose with Escape the Clinic's Katie Bean
Katie Bean is a PA who's passionate about helping other clinicians escape the clinic (or add in a side hustle). She worked in ER, and in academia before getting her doctorate. After reaching her professional peak, she realized she'd hit a ceiling and missed out on everything meaningful while she was busy hustling. A tragic loss awakened her to her life's purpose. She now helps other clinicians start businesses and has her own podcast, Escape the Clinic.
Show notes:
Consider starting a business, it can give you massive freedom and allow you to have a bigger impact and serve others in a new way.
Burnout can cause you to miss out on your life and the people in it if you’re focused on the hustle and grind.
Before you’re driven to an identity crisis, start exploring who you are outside your role as a PA. What gives you worth besides your job title?
It’s only a myth that you need time and experience to start a business. Plenty of business models don’t require burning the candle at both ends.
By empathizing with those around you, you can help identify and solve their problem; voila, that’s a business.
Starting a business allows you to use a different part of your brain, and that excitement over a new pursuit will often shift your feelings of burnout.
Do life on your terms now; don’t wait until you retire.
You’re allowed to try something and pivot; you’re allowed to do it messy; the point is to take action and see what aligns
Obstacles teach you to ask different questions and think outside the box
Get crystal clear on what you want from your life. What’s not aligned? Where are you unhappy and discontent? Imagine you had a blank canvas for your life That provides the vision and the direction. Then, just take one brave step a day.
Katie's IG, LinkedIn, podcast and website (and 101 ideas to start a business)
Other resources mentioned: Cathy Heller, Amy Porterfield and books by Napolean Hill
