Want To Create Your Thriving Online Health Business?
So you’ve seen a problem in the health sector, which you feel inspired to solve through your own online business. You want to scale your impact, work less, and have fun, but don’t know where to start, given you can’t risk your family, financial, or job security as a busy professional with responsibilities.
I still vividly remember the summer of 2020, working around the clock to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Frustrated, angry, and tired, my 4 year-old son sat next to me, held my hand and looked deep into my soul, begging me to leave the job that had led to my burnout. No longer happy at home or at work, I’d lost the passion that had originally attracted me to a career of service.
Despite 10 years of opportunities to pivot into innovation and entrepreneurship, inspired by multiple challenges as a patient, caregiver, and health professional, it was my son’s plea that changed everything. With a mortgage and childcare responsibilities, I couldn’t burn the boats and go all in. That’s why I took a part-time role, giving me the freedom to gain the business and marketing expertise that should have been taught way sooner in my career.
Combining my 25 years of international education, training, and experience across healthcare, public health, business, and education, eventually led me to launch The Entrepreneur’s Doctor and the creation of Startup Therapy, my prescription for any busy professional looking to transform into a Health Entrepreneur and create a healthier, happier world through their ventures.
Don’t Wait 10 Years!
I’d love to help you skip the 10-years I wasted, and avoid the 6-figure investment into my education & training. Life is too short!
The world needs you too, as someone with lived experience and ideas to solve the problems we face in the health sector.
Here's the best part... now that I work part time in a creative role, knowing that I can serve even more people at scale, I'm having fun and enjoying the freedom that comes with entrepreneurship and owning my business. For the past 18 months, I've been smiling again, regaining my passion for public health service.
Yet, after a decade of contemplating my pivot into entrepreneurship, I always felt alone. That’s why in 2021, I created the Startup Therapy Accelerator, for busy professionals like you and me, with family or financial commitments that may be holding us back from our passion.
