Most GP Practice Owners don’t have a time problem.

They have an identity problem.

After 20 years as a doctor, the GP role becomes hard to step out of. Patients need you. Staff pull you back in. The work feels familiar, useful, and immediately rewarding.

Owner work doesn’t feel like that.

It’s slower. Messier. Less obvious. And because it doesn’t fit neatly between patients, it gets pushed to the side.

In this episode, Todd and Sachin unpack why the GP “helmet” is so hard to take off, what it costs the Practice, and what needs to change if you want to actually lead your Practice.

What you’ll get from this episode:

• The three roles every GP Owner carries: GP, shareholder, and owner
• Why the GP identity is the hardest one to step out of
• The martyrdom pattern: “Only I can do this,” and what it quietly costs
• Why a “quick half-hour job” can become 20 hours over 12 weeks
• How unfinished projects pile up when owner time isn’t protected
• The Whitney Houston test for imposter syndrome
• Why reducing clinical time is the first structural move most Owners avoid
