In this episode of the PNC podcast, Dr. Errin Weisman describes how she went “from Burnout to Badass.” And she explains how she now mixes her entrepreneurial interests with serving her podcast listeners and taking care of patients.

Errin is a life coach, podcaster, and all-around badass doctor mom in southwestern Indiana. Besides being sassy, she enjoys getting mud on her shoes, teaching her children to catch tadpoles, and reading a great fantasy novel. Hear her on the Doctor Me First podcast. Or hang with her on Instagram for laughs and encouragement.

What Else Can I Do?

Errin was working a typical patient care job when she realized she couldn't do that for the next 30 years. She thought it was supposed to get better over time, but it didn't. She hired a life coach. And the more coaching she received, the more clarity she had about her desires, and what could bring her fulfillment. 

She developed a vision of herself as a coach. And she began charting her path from burnout to badass.

She wanted to provide medical care in a way that brought more freedom. So, she started doing telemedicine. It was wonderful. She found that telemedicine brings the flexibility she needs while delivering medical care.

Subsequently, Errin searched for other outlets for her medical skills. She discovered correctional medicine. She enjoyed “comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable.” And that position allowed her to be an advocate for system change. Along the way, she charted her path from burnout to badass.

Podcasting Done Differently

She decided to produce a podcast. She wanted it to be spontaneous and uplifting. She'll interview anyone who can bring a message of value to her audience (mostly women). On her show, she follows her heart and addresses topics of interest to her audience. And she selects guests with minimal screening.

“I think this goes back to my medicine training… you just walk in the room and you don't know what you're going to get. It could be a splinter in a toe. Or it could be a total train wreck with a purple foot. You just walk in and you take what you get with what you have.”

Because of the podcast, she discovered other women who were providing weight loss coaching, parenting coaching, career coaching, and more. And she felt a desire to collaborate with them. It started with a Zoom call, and what began as a “coaching circle” became the Physician Coaching Alliance. The PCA now brings physician coaches together, while serving as a resource for clients searching for a coach.

Burnout to BadAss

Erinn has been working on creating a resource for struggling physicians. It incorporates what she has learned through her career journey, coaching education, and experiences helping physicians.

“It's helping find you where you're at. If you're feeling burned out, if you're feeling stuck, if you're feeling just disillusioned with medicine, it's an online course with weekly meetings with me. To move you from a place of burnout to total “badassery.”

Erinn believes that at our core, we all are badasses. And somewhere along the way, we let that become vanilla. Hence, she wants you to bring your spice, your spunk, and really work through that when working with her.

She advises that if you don't like colorful language, then she's not the coach for you. But otherwise, she says come hang out with her.

Summary

In the episode, Errin explains that once you can love, accept, and show compassion to yourself, then you're going to be able to do that for others. She demonstrates that there is no one right way to be a doctor.

Near the end of our conversation, Errin discussed being a panelist on Dr. Michelle Mudge-Riley's NEXT Nonclinical Conference Series. She will be telling her story and speaking about coaching. And going from burnout to badass. The first of the series starts on July 10, 2020, with additional programs in September and November.

The post How to Go From Burnout to BadAss – 150 appeared first on NonClinical Physicians.

In this episode of the PNC podcast, I try to answer this question: Is the Clinicians Career Cooperative or the Nonclinical Career Academy best for me?

I know this may sound like a 30-minute promotional spot, but I don't look at it that way. I've been creating new resources for “seeking physicians” since I started my podcast three years ago, and, honestly, it gets a little confusing at times. Partly it is because I had these opportunities and went ahead and did them, rather than wait until the perfect moment.

Is the Clinicians Career Cooperative or the Nonclinical Career Academy Best for Me?

Let’s get into a comparison of the Clinicians Career Cooperative and the Nonclinical Career Academy and answer the question: Which is best for me? When you're starting a new project, you're better off focusing intently on one at a time, and that's definitely what I recommend. But there was a need and I wanted to fill it. So, I didn't really see the point in postponing the Cooperative even though it was right on the heels of the Academy. 

First, Principles That I Believe

Before getting into the comparison, I want to explain what drives me to create these and other resources for you.

Physicians Are All Members of a Profession, Guild, or Family

I consider it more of a family. You could call it a guild. You can call it whatever you want, but we all have a shared experience. Unfortunately, some of the more recent experiences we've shared often include burnout, being taken advantage of, and being taken for granted. Since I feel we are family, I don't like seeing you suffer. I don't like seeing you wandering around trying to figure out what to do.

The other reason why I want to facilitate this process for you is that the jobs that most of you have often mean spending 50, 60, 70, or 80 hours a week working. And you don't have a lot of time to spend learning about nonclinical jobs.

We All Deserve a Career and a Life That Brings Us Joy and Fulfillment

You've spent years working hard to become a physician, delaying gratification, and sometimes taking on an enormous amount of debt. Some of you have put off buying a house or starting a family. And after entering your new career, you shouldn't be suffering.

Physicians Are Natural Leaders

I don't think you're a born leader. But I believe you're a natural leader. You're a leader because of your training. A lot of what we learned while in medical school and then in residency is how to lead, how to manage, and how to make important decisions. Hence, people look to us for leadership in almost any environment we find ourselves.

Given these beliefs, I created the Academy and partnered with Dr. Tom Davis to develop the Cooperative.

Is the CCC or the NCA Best for Me?

There a few similarities between these two resources. They both address career transition. They are both structured as a membership site. And they both allow for 24/7 access. But that is pretty much where the similarities end. Below is a table that lists the differences between the two programs.

Summary

When you're starting a new project, you're better off focusing intently on one at a time. That's definitely what I recommend. But I didn't really see the point in postponing the Cooperative since it was so sorely needed.

With today's comparison, I think you will better understand the features fo both of these programs. And you will be able to answer the question “which is best for me?”

In this episode of the Physician NonClinical Careers, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming revisits the podcast to discuss freelance consulting.

Four Levels of Financial Freedom

In his book, Mike takes the four levels of financial freedom and applies them specifically to physicians. They are:

1. Employee

This is the level where almost everyone begins. Unfortunately, for many specialties, remaining an employee makes the most sense. In fact, 75-80 percent of physicians fall into this category. However, being an employee always means working for someone else.

2. Business Owner

This is the physician who owns their own practice. They see patients, but they also manage the entire business. Hence, there is more reward, but the business owner may become overwhelmed, trying to juggle too many responsibilities at once.

3. CEO

This is where things begin to accelerate. When physicians are CEOs, they practice medicine. However, they also have trusted staff to manage the business and see patients. Then, the CEO and the business are generating revenue, but so are the employees.

4. Investor

This is the highest level. Investors are in charge of multiple businesses and bring in multiple, dependable streams of revenue. Ideally, this is the way to “recession-proof your life.”

Speaking the Language of Online Marketing

Mike initially achieved his success by pursuing one of his interests outside of medicine: online marketing. As someone who owned a digital business, he decided to learn more about search engine optimization and pay-per-click advertising. One of his first freelance consulting side hustles was helping other medical practices with lead generation and growing traffic to their practices.

He was able to get his foot in the door not because he was an expert on these topics, but because he was a physician. As a result, he understood the businesses better than the average marketing consultant.

“I understood the language. I understood the problems that the businesses were having… what kept them up at night.” – Dr. Mike Woo-Ming

Is Freelance Consulting Right for You?

For those who are considering freelance consulting, but are not sure what niche to pursue, Mike has developed an acronym: CLEARED. Young consultants should rank themselves on a scale of 1 to 10 based on the following questions.

• Competency: Are you an expert in this niche?
• Lucrative: Are people making money in this market?
• Energy: Do you feel excited and ready to work in this field?
• Audience: Is this a group of people you want to work with?
• Relationships: Are you already connected to others working in this field?
• Evergreen: Will this business still be relevant in 5, 10, or 20 years?
• Demand: Is there a demand for your services?

By finding a niche that gets high scores on each factor, the physician consultant will enhance the chances of success.

We really just scratched the surface of this topic. If you're interested, there are a couple of easy ways to learn more about a freelance consulting business.

First, you can go to positionedphysician.com/freebook to get a copy of The Positioned Physician for just a small shipping and handling fee.

Next, you can learn more directly from Mike by joining the Nonclinical Career Academy. I've posted a 4-Part Masterclass where Mike continues his lessons about freelance consulting.

The Clinicians Career Cooperative

The idea is to create a low-cost forum to bring experts and physicians together in an easily accessible way. 

The Clinicians Career Cooperative is unique because:

1. It’s more inclusive.

Membership in Clinicians Career Cooperative includes clinicians beyond physicians, who face many of the identical challenges. 

2. We recruit experts to serve as Mentors.

John and Tom enlist specific experts to provide guidance on a wide array of topics, including how to pursue specific careers.

3. You can narrow your search.

The forum is structured so it is easier to navigate and you can easily follow multiple topics.

4. Tasteful promotion is allowed.

Experts will be able to offer more in-depth advice by sharing their courses, blogs, and other educational products, without being “spammy.” 

5. Members are more invested.

Because there is a small monthly fee, only members who are serious about career change will tend to join.

6. The forum is attractive to Mentors.

Our Expert Mentors can join the Clinicians Career Cooperative and reach a growing membership seeking inspiration and guidance.
