Innovation… personal fulfillment… and limitless potential to help people-and prosper.
These are the rewards for physicians who become entrepreneurs and blaze their own trails in business to provide medical products and services-all while creating a balanced personal life that’s fulfilling and adventurous.
Unfortunately, many physicians and medical professionals believe that they’re not good business people.
And they’re afraid to step out of the traditional comfort zones of working in hospitals and other institutional settings-where bureaucracies can limit creativity, prosperity, and impact.
Now Dr. Francisco Arredondo, MD, MPH, is on a mission to show medical professionals how to excel above and beyond traditional constraints-by becoming entrepreneurs.
In Medikal Preneur: The Official Guidebook for Physicians’ Success in Business, Dr. Arredondo shares his experience and expertise to guide health care professionals into the unlimited and fulfilling possibilities in business. He did it very successfully, and now he wants to teach YOU how to become a successful medical entrepreneur.
Written in easy-to-understand language, this book showcases Dr. Arredondo’s story while providing solid nuts-and-bolts information about business plans, accounting, marketing, teamwork, human resources, designing a transformative patient experience, and more.
Dr. Arredondo coined the term ‘Medikal Preneur’ to describe physicians like himself who master the art of entrepreneurship in ways that transform the lives of countless patients with innovative products and services. He is a true Medikal Preneur, having built a fertility center that expanded into a network of entrepreneurial ventures with more than 80 team members.
Dr. Arredondo emphasizes that Medikal Preneurs can enjoy financial success and freedom for family time, world travel, and philanthropy.
As the medical profession undergoes major shifts resulting from the coronavirus pandemic and other factors, Medikal Preneur: The Official Guidebook for Physicians’ Success in Business by Dr. Francisco Arredondo highlights a path toward exciting new opportunities for health care professionals to shift their mindsets and embark on missions to help people and achieve success.
