How many of you have had the thought, "Someone should invent ___________!" Erica had that thought and followed through. Hear how she went from idea to execution in this week's episode. Here are the show notes:

  1. Start noticing when there’s a gap in the marketplace, this might be your next Shark Tank idea.  

  2. Surround yourself with supportive people when you’re about to embark on something new, and avoid the naysayers.

  3. If you’re working with a partner, pay attention to your strengths and try to stay in your own lane.  

  4. Medicine is the long game.  Keep your eye on the prize.  You might have to work your way toward your dream job by taking a circuitous route.

  5. Switching jobs or specialties might be a way to mix things up and avoid monotony. Lots of opportunities as a PA, and you have the ability to remake yourself.  

  6. Be in the moment.  Go to your kids’ games, and put down the phone and the computer 

  7. Use CME for family vacations.  Take breaks.  Go to conferences.  

  8. Build yourself up, no one else is going to do that.  You have to ask for raises and learn to negotiate, esp if you’re not getting what you’re worth.  

  9. Trust yourself, block out the negative, and keep moving forward and working toward your dreams.
