Burn the Boats! | Dr. Tara Swart

It's so tempting to go back to doing the keynote speeches and taking on the high net worth clients. You know, when I gave up the regular paycheck of being a doctor in the NHS, a lot of people said to me, you, could just go and do a locum for one weekend and you'd be able to pay your rent and your bills. But for me, that would have meant failure because it was going backward. And I had to force myself to.

Make the new business work. You had to burn the boats. Yeah. You had to burn the ship that got you there so you couldn't go.

Back into the old, you know, the land. None of us want to go through hardship. We don't want to see the people that we love and care about go through hardship. But it can be taken as an amazing opportunity. Even with the hardest thing that I've ever gone through in my life, there has to be an opportunity that comes out of it. Otherwise, it was for nothing.
