Owners of a Direct Care practice are more likely to experience higher job satisfaction than the insurance-based practice and it’s no wonder why. Direct Care is independent of insurance, patients pay the doctor directly for their expertise. The doctor gets full autonomy in how they care for patients and how they get paid, and not by someone without a medical degree. We’ve chosen this path for the love of medicine. This is the Direct Care way.

How my experience with taking a pole dancing is eerily similar to starting a Direct Care practice. Here are the 4 lessons to take away from this episode: 

1. It’s ok to be uncomfortable, go through it anyway
2. It’s ok to not be good - keep practicing
3. You don’t have to do it alone, there are experienced people you can learn from, go find them
4. Stop telling yourself useless stories, you did not die - choose another story, choose to say I will learn from this experience, or at least have a funny story to share
