Shownotes Transcript

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:

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

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

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

- 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.

- 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.  

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

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

- 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.  

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