I have learned a lot since ‘going it alone’ both in terms of treating my practice more like a business and also from a mindset point of view in terms of time management, fighting procrastination and setting and working towards clearly defined goals. 

I have found that working on the business of my private practice was completely different to working in the business of delivering clinical care to my patients. 

I think that most doctors in private practice do very little to build a healthy and sustainable business and subsequently give a poor service to their patients.
