Hello and Happy Pre-Easter! 💐

This week we celebrated Medic Footprints 10th Birthday at Accurx in London.

We had doctors and industry leaders from a huge number of companies - from big Pharma to Consulting, NHS, startups, aesthetics and more… plus our MF Fellow retreat day where we focused on Future Proofing our Careers through Personal Branding, Financial Stability, Growth Mindset and more..

Reflecting on the last 10 years of mentoring doctors across the world in alternative careers, I’ll share with you my top 4 tips for success;

1. Focus on developing your soft skills (e.g. leadership, networking etc.), not the hard ones (e.g. more qualifications.)

2. Don’t overthink your moves. The most successful people in this world aren’t the cleverest. In some ways, being ‘clever’ or overcomplicating things can really hold you back. JFDI.

3. Invest in learning about yourself. Tackle your blind or weak spots so you can keep moving forward.

4. Get therapy, or coaching.. or both.

To celebrate our birthday, I’m offering:

1 x FREE 10 minutes 1-1 session

(aka.. ask me ANYTHING!)

for New or Existing Medic Footprints Members.

Available only until 31st March 2024.

Doctors in Industry Fellowship™

We’ve welcomed a number of new Fellows to Cohort 3 and finishing off interviews in the next week.

We made some substantial breakthroughs at the retreat on Wednesday focusing on a number of frameworks - particularly

Personal Branding - essential for job search, promotions or even growing in an existing role

Branding or selling with story - harnessing the power of storytelling to engage your audience.

We’re closed for applications now - next Cohort is in September.

🗓️ Disrupting Doctors Careers™ Podcast

Financial Stability through Business: 4 Things Doctors Overlook

Most doctors (or people) think getting an employed job means they are financially stable.

Or, setting up a business as a self employed is too financially risky.

This conventional way of thinking means that many opportunities to progress in your career and income TODAY are missed and slow you down.

In this episode I cover:

- 4 Reasons why starting your own business can provide a route to financial stability. These include providing another form of income with a higher earning potential and no glass ceiling, getting financially literate, creating assets and building equity, developing skills that industry decision makers want

- How doctors are leveraging this now

- How you can get started today - especially if you don't know where to start

✈️ Travel Doctorpreneurs (TD) 

This week, one of our team members - Kachi - a full time GP with kids who runs a flourishing travel business on the side, talked about how he sold £4k of travel to one client this week.

Claiming at least 10% commission on this deal, he was able to advise his client on the best holiday travel options for them - saving them time and benefiting from continual support during the holiday.

Kachi is able to run his business by leveraging the Inteletravel platform - which has sold £650 million worth of travel with a 50% year on year growth.

If you’re after a side hustle, this is something you can’t afford to overlook! 🌏
