Change is hard. I see entrepreneurs every day who are trying to change the world with a new idea, and startups that are trying to survive their hyper-growth phase by changing processes to meet demand. In both cases, it’s easy for them to become frustrated and give up, since most have never been trained in change management, and don’t even know what questions to ask.

Starting your own business is a daunting task. What is even more daunting is trying to expand it. Businesses cost substantial capital and labor to initiate. Business owners are interested in generating momentum as fast as they can. The market moves fast, and being slow is to lose out on money and influence. However, this isn’t always easy. With a little bit of guidance, though, most businesses can get the business growth they need to succeed.

Like many of you, I am both an employee and a people leader. At different points of the day, sometimes from one minute to the next, I have to switch gears so that I can be fully present as both a good employee and a good people leader. This constant quest for excellence, from one email to the next, from one meeting to the next as context changes is… taxing.

In my experience as an angel investor for new startups, I’m always surprised by how many entrepreneurs are looking for funding without outside advisors. An experienced Board can give them credibility, as well as advice on the many pitfalls of starting a new company. Especially if you are a first-time business owner, the payback for this initiative is well worth the effort and cost.

Well over 25 years ago, Michael E. Gerber wrote a best-selling business book called The E-Myth: Why Most Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It. The E-Myth (“Entrepreneurial Myth”) is the mistaken belief that most businesses are started by people with tangible business skills, when in fact most are started by “technicians” who know nothing about running a business.

So many advancements have been occurring in the healthcare industry, they’ve been difficult to keep up with. Medicare introduced a coding system for billing. Advances in technology inspired the introduction of electronic medical records, which have now become standard practice. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has brought even more changes in recent years, and the federal government is still refining healthcare laws and programs.

Depending on your age, you may remember the days when finding a job meant scouring the newspaper classified section, calling people in your network on the phone, and maybe even faxing your cover letter and resume to employers. Of course, this has all changed over the past decade, with the COVID-19 pandemic putting remote work into overdrive. Adding to this is the fact that more people than ever before are interested in working from home.

We all know at least one entrepreneur who always gets things done, and appears unstoppable in his quest. All of you probably know many others who talk incessantly about their great ideas, but never seem to even get started, or they give up at the first obstacle.

The role of a healthcare board of directors lies in oversight rather than direct involvement. Your CEO and other senior-level staff take care of the day-to-day activities of your organization. A healthcare board of directors provides oversight for the healthcare organization’s needs, services, and leadership. The board is also accountable for setting the long-term direction of the organization and ensuring sustainability.

The future of work is definitely changing, accelerated by the current pandemic.

Being in love is great. Being in love with your business, when you’re an entrepreneur, is even better. Waking up each morning knowing you are getting to do exactly what you love is more than most people could ever say about any “job” they have had. Although there are days when tossing in your hat seems like a viable option, remembering how much you love your “job” can quickly snap an entrepreneur out of that mentality.

I used to love the Matrix’s Red Pill / Blue Pill metaphor and still use it occasionally to try to make a point around dealing with reality in an entrepreneurial context. Several years ago, I became deeply bummed out about how this metaphor was being used in politics and gender equity situations. It’s gotten worse since then, and I find many of the cases it is used in and the people who use it reprehensible, so I don’t use it much anymore.
