Wow - 100 Days. It’s been a 100-day sprint. Went by in the blink of an eye but simultaneously like it’s taken forever.
Last week, on August 2nd, it marked 100 days since we formally opened up our business, Pacific Northwest Medical Group, dedicated to helping people in the Pierce County area effectively, and safely lose weight through prescription-based medication and medical guidance.
I could not be more excited and proud for what we’ve been able to accomplish. We eclipsed 110 active (paying) patients in those 100 days. We’ve also stumbled through growing pains, process changes, and such, but the clinic in all objective measures is doing extraordinarily well.
Speaking to some of my providers (Pharmacies/marketing vendors), I’m told many clinics won’t reach 100 active patients 200 to 300 days. So, with some hubris, that I hope does not come back to bite me in the butt – I feel that pivotal decision to leave the confines of the corporate world and embark on this new adventure was very much worth it.
Monday our third full-time employee will join us, and by the end of August we will have the fourth. In reflection I see I waited too long to add the third, as we were stretched too thin in July, and I want to be right-sized staffing wise by the time back to school and the holiday ramp up begins (traditionally busy seasons for clinics like ours).
Still have to wear dozen’s of hats a day to make the business successful – but one new hat I’m enjoying wearing is that of ‘Difference Maker’. Seeing our patients lost 15% or more of their weight is inspiring. These patients are living better, healthier lives and it is a bit emotional to reflect on some of their journeys with them.
I used to be inspired by impacting 1.5 Billion Computers a month in the work I and the team I was a part of did. I can say without hesitation there is 50x more inspiration and pride in the impact I’m seeing .0000110 Billion (110) patients I see on a regular basis.
