“There are going to be lots of things that seem to surround you right now that are things you don't want, but in order for you to create a healthy career going forward, whether it's in or out of medicine, it's really important to get super clear on what you want: your ideal job; your ideal career; your ideal life; and your ideal practice description.”

Show Highlights:

• Dike describes an overview of transitioning from being a clinician to being in a non-clinical career.
• Why you shouldn’t walk away from your career until your finances are stable.
• How to terrarium (self-contain) your current job.
• The importance of job shadowing a career that interests you.
• Why you shouldn’t give up your practice until your side gig is making half of what you make in your practice.
• How to determine when is the right time to start building a team.
• Why jobs tend to lead to burnout and how to avoid it.
• The ideal time to transition away from your previous full-time role and into your entrepreneurial venture.
