The Way Most Optometrists Earn Their Success in Private Practices

Positive thinking by itself cannot garrantee an entrepreneur will be successful in his business. Most Optometrists cold-start or acquire a private practice without the necessary business knowledge and they succeed as a result of hard work, learning from mistakes, perseverance, perfection, and building customer relationships based on trust and loyalty making the days count without counting the days. Conscientiousness is one of the key personality traits that make a healthcare provider successful in building a patient base and becoming a reference in the geographical location where he practices. The long path to studying and becoming an eye doctor helps shape most Optometrists to become rich in those traits. They don’t have to go to a business school to make their practice successful moreover if they decide to do a Master of Business Administration (MBA) at a certain point during their career the business experience they contribute to any MBA cohort would be tremendous. Even in designing their work and building their teams, Optometrists come up with processes that enable cost-effective teamwork to make care available, accessible, and affordable. All their business knowledge is developed from the entrepreneurial experience they develop throughout years of experience.

Sean Mccauley, entrepreneur and author of the book “DNA of a Young Entrepreneur” and “Service to Sell” emphasizes that a successful business inevitably depends on the entrepreneur’s talents, skills, qualities, and personal conviction. With the exception of talents all other traits can be learned and cultivated by training. To be successful and be sure you grow in life, author Rick Warren emphasizes five measurements of growth: knowledge, perspective, conviction, skills, and character. To Mccauley moving forward in those areas constitutes what is essential to become successful in life therefore he shares ten principles to become successful in life that include: Living for a higher purpose, Developing an indomitable attitude, Trusting yourself, Doing the right thing no matter what, Learning to win by staying between the lines, Getting focused, Becoming flexible, Living in the present, Concentrating on excellence not profit, and Expecting to fail forward to success.

Perhaps the last principle summarises a big part of being an entrepreneur for the Optometrists whose success is based on trial and error and apply what they learned from failures after rigorous evaluation. Thomas Edison didn’t fail 700 times before building the light buld, he found 700 ways that don’t work. According to Bill Gates founder of Microsoft, success can be a lousy teacher allowing smart people to think that they cannot fail. Those who are not comfortable with failing should first learn ways to embrace mistakes and failures and evaluate them to learn, improve, and gain experience.
