Medical Entrepreneur Challenges More Doctors to Get into Business

NEW YORK, June 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Entrepreneur Rx: The Physician's Guide To Starting A Business by MeMD's Dr. John Shufeldt is available now. The book is published with ForbesBooks, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes. Entrepreneur Rx is available on Amazon today.

John Shufeldt is an emergency physician who believes that doctors are uniquely equipped to take on entrepreneurship. From split-second decision making to divorcing feelings from facts and data, Shufeldt sees a strong correlation between a doctor's training and the core tenants of successful business. The founder of MeMD, John Shufeldt is hoping to inspire other medical professionals to reach their entrepreneurial potential through his new book, Entrepreneur Rx: The Physician's Guide To Starting A Business.

"Taking this leap will change your life," said Shufeldt. "Whether you fail or succeed, you will gain insight, knowledge, and build valuable traits like perseverance, humility, and creativity."

Shufeldt warns in the early pages of Entrepreneur RX that taking this step is not a decision to be made lightly. Pulling no punches, he urges any aspiring physician entrepreneurs to be sure of the exact demands that starting a business puts on home life, social life, and free time. Yet, once that commitment is made, Shufeldt's experience-based insights provide a valuable roadmap for any physician hoping to walk their own entrepreneurial path.
