Overcoming Challenges and Celebrating Victories | Pharmacist Diaries

Balancing a full-time career, managing parenting duties, and running this podcast has been a rollercoaster ride of trials and triumphs. I've been lucky to have the unwavering support of my husband, Sunjay Vyas, and it's this love that has helped me juggle it all, a story I share in this episode with my guest, Yasir Sacranie, CEO of MicroPharm. We travel down our individual entrepreneurial journeys, exchanging tales of hurdles we've had to overcome, and the victories that have made it worthwhile. Alongside, we touch upon the significance of scheduling and good nutrition in maintaining high energy levels and overall productivity.

The transition to entrepreneurship isn't an overnight process. It takes careful planning, and an unerring focus on time management. In our conversation, Yasir and I delve into this very aspect. 

Listen in as we discuss the pivotal role of auditing your time, focusing on the small tasks, and investing in specialists to aid in areas outside your expertise. Hear how our strategy of time blocks helped us identify time wastage and replace it with more productive activities. We stress on the importance of pacing yourself and taking things slow and highlighting the necessity of reinvesting the money you make to help your business grow.

Creating content driven by passion and community sentiment is the cherry on top of the entrepreneurial journey. I talk about how the podcast reached 10,000 downloads across 100+ countries in its first year, a milestone that has fuelled my drive to keep creating. The joy of sharing knowledge and the satisfaction derived from inspiring, motivating, and educating listeners have been a significant motivator. 

Yasir and I also share our insight on overcoming challenges, embracing failure and the importance of taking initiative, even when the path seems daunting. As they say, every failure is a stepping stone to success. Tune in for an episode filled with entrepreneurial insights, motivational stories, and experiences that teach, engage and inspire.
