I started asking myself "What did I build today that will outlast my time in the clinic?" The real, visceral shift came when I looked at the economy, looked at inflation, and realized that the cost of not putting in the work today would be infinitely more expensive tomorrow. I refused to become another person just complaining about the cost of living or the state of the system while changing absolutely nothing. I saw what was possible for others in my business, and it ignited a fire that that it was going to be possible for me, too.
