https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB4MWMC1/

From Burnout to Breakout looks like a great book. What can you tell us about it?

"From Burnout to Breakout" is a journey of transformation. It's a guide for healthcare professionals who are feeling the weight of burnout and are seeking a way out. The book explores the concept of 'Medpreneurship', a blend of medicine and entrepreneurship, as a potential cure for burnout. It's about harnessing your passion for healthcare, your entrepreneurial spirit, and your unique skills to create a healthcare business that aligns with your values, passions, and aspirations.

 

What type of reader did you write the book for?

The book is primarily written for healthcare professionals who are feeling the effects of burnout and are seeking a change. However, it's also a valuable resource for anyone interested in healthcare entrepreneurship. Whether you're a doctor, nurse, therapist, or any other healthcare professional, if you're intrigued by the idea of starting your own healthcare business, this book is for you.

 

Can you tell us a little about your experience?

As a board-certified family nurse practitioner and co-founder of Aquarian Clinic, I've experienced first-hand the challenges and rewards of healthcare entrepreneurship. I've navigated the complexities of starting a business, managed the pressures of running a clinic, and experienced the joy of making a difference in patients' lives. This book is a culmination of my experiences, insights, and lessons learned along the way.

 

What section did you have the most fun writing?

I particularly enjoyed writing the chapter on "The Journey Ahead: Embracing the Challenges of Entrepreneurship". It was an opportunity to delve into the realities of entrepreneurship, the highs and lows, and the resilience it requires. It was a chance to share my own experiences and insights, and hopefully, inspire others to embrace the journey with courage and optimism. This includes works that inspired me from James Clear and Simon Sinek who’s books are must reads as well.

 

What inspired the idea for the book?

The book was inspired by my own journey from burnout to breakout. I wanted to share my story, not just as a tale of personal transformation, but as a beacon of hope for others who might be feeling the same way. I wanted to show that there is a way out of burnout, and that entrepreneurship can be a path to fulfillment and impact.

 

How did you come up with the title for the book?

The title "From Burnout to Breakout" encapsulates the essence of the book. It's about breaking free from the constraints of burnout and breaking out into a world of possibilities through entrepreneurship. It's about transformation, growth, and the journey towards becoming a Medpreneur.

 

Did anything stick out as particularly challenging when writing From Burnout to Breakout?

One of the challenges was striking a balance between sharing personal experiences and providing practical, actionable advice. I wanted the book to be both inspiring and practical, a blend of personal narrative and how-to guide. Ensuring that each chapter delivered on this dual purpose was a rewarding challenge.

 

What do you like to do when not writing?

When I'm not writing, I'm usually immersed in my work at Aquarian Clinic or consulting with other healthcare businesses. I also enjoy reading, especially books on entrepreneurship and personal development. And of course, spending quality time with my family is always a priority.
