biggest stressor with regards to running a medical practice, especially a startup, is the people. And I'm not talking about the patients. I'm talking about the people on your team. Leading people, leading a team is very, very hard. And most people don't have a lot of experience in leading a team. And most people aren't gifted at leading a team. It's something that you have to learn. So when you're leading a team, let's say you're working in the ER on rotations, It's a lot different. You're the doctor, you give a command, people don't care, you're saving a life. Well, when you're running a business, you can't be that authoritative in today's environment. It's just not possible. And so you have to relearn how you lead.
