A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video in which a speaker discusses choosing to leave a medical career after medical school to pursue entrepreneurship full-time. The speakers contrast medicine’s prescribed career path with entrepreneurship’s unpredictable, problem-solving demands; Ndubuisi 'Andy' Egwim comments on the entrepreneurial mindset.
A lot of the time I get asked about if I'm going to kind of continue with a career in medicine or step aside and just do the focus on the business full time. At the moment I'm leaning towards that just stepping outside of medicine entirely after medical school. And one of the reasons I give is that with medicine in my head it seems like the kind of path that you're supposed to take is already laid out. Whereas when I'm growing this business every day, like there's just random challenges that come up that I have to flexor. Like it's just problem solving in the extreme form.
Wow, that's, that's sort of like the life and the mind of an entrepreneur. There's no carefully laid out path. And you can wake up one day and you're firefighting and then you did for four years, five years and suddenly.
You'Ve got a.
Valuable business that people want to, you know, acquire or invest in.
