As a key takeaway, Chan emphasizes the concept of leverage and scalability. In the medical field, professionals pride themselves on their independence and ability to handle everything on their own. However, in the business world, the ability to replicate one’s skills and knowledge through others is what leads to exponential growth. Chan highlights that the most successful entrepreneurs are those who can build a team that can operate independently, each member multiplying the founder’s efforts.

Furthermore, Chan points out the importance of understanding one’s strengths and weaknesses. In the entrepreneurial realm, it is essential to acknowledge that you do not have all the answers and that collaboration and delegation can lead to greater success than solo efforts ever could. He contrasts this with the medical profession, where there is a strong expectation to have all the answers and where asking for help is often stigmatized.

For medical professionals or anyone looking to pivot into entrepreneurship, Chan advises starting with an open mind. He stresses the importance of shedding old beliefs that no longer serve you and being willing to learn what you don’t know. This shift towards being a lifelong learner beyond one’s field of expertise is the cornerstone of making a successful pivot into business.
