I'm an ex-engineer, now pediatrian who would really like to be a founder in healthcare technology after residency (2 more years left). Can you show me how to get started? I'm in Seattle. My limitations are that I hope to stay sane, avoid sacrificing all of my time away from a family of 4 children, and be able to start in the light of a significant amount of educational debt (>100k). I know it's quite a specific request, but you said ask anything! |

- Start writing. A blog, newsletter, what ever. Start today
- The goal is to build an audience around your writing. Focus on what you know best, and write for a specific type of customer
- Don't focus on getting thousands of readers, having 20, 50, 70 people is enough to learn about the problems people have in your industry - identify the problem, build a solution for your group of readers (could be a course, SaaS, etc.) product may not be free. Put a solid price tag on it.
- If people pay, and your product seems to solve a real pinpoint, focus more effort on promoting it and attracting more of the same kinds of customers. Go at it slowly.
- Don't take investments, loans or other things that will only put more weight on your shoulders.
- Start spending just 2-3 hours a week, today and just stick with it.
