How do you go from employee to running a multiple 7-figure private practice in under 5 years?
I hijacked an episode of my daughter's podcast called The Profitable Private Practice Podcast. My daughter is Cheta. She is 17 years old, and for the last few months, she has been interviewing doctors in the EntreMD Business School who are in private practice, finding out their secrets, and tracking their journeys from the beginning.
Today, you are going to listen to the incredible Dr. Karen Kaufman, who takes us all the way back to when she was working as a naval physician, to when she started her own private practice. You’ll learn how she built it, all the challenges she had to overcome, and how she reached multiple 7 figures in less than five years.
Tune in and get inspired!
