My 5 Biggest Fears Going into Private Practice
di Dr. T
Launch day rarely goes exactly as planned—and this one was no exception. In this episode of Taking the Cut, I share the real story behind a launch where it felt like everything that could go wrong did. From unexpected setbacks to last-minute challenges, I talk about staying positive, trusting the process, and remembering that one difficult day doesn't define the bigger picture. If you're building a business, launching a product, or chasing a goal, this episode is a reminder that resilience matters more than perfection. Sometimes the best thing you can do is keep showing up, learn from the experience, and move forward with confidence. Email us - takingthecut@gmail.com
Episode 3: In this episode of Taking the Cut, I share the story behind one of the biggest decisions of my career: leaving my employed position as a hand surgeon to open a new private practice. I talk about what wasn’t working, what I was afraid of, and the uncertainty that came with walking away from something secure before I felt fully “ready.” This episode is about the tension between comfort and autonomy, the anxiety that comes with taking a professional risk, and how that fear slowly gave way to confidence once I started building something of my own.
