In this episode, we delve into the remarkable journey of Sue, a pharmacist turned entrepreneur, as she shares her insights and experiences in navigating the dynamic landscape of pharmacy.
Sue's career began with a heartfelt desire to help patients, but after 15 years in a rigid retail pharmacy environment, she recognised the need for a change. As a devoted mother of five children, she sought flexibility and fulfillment beyond the traditional 9-5 grind.
Key Moments:
1. Entrepreneurial Leap: Sue's transition into entrepreneurship marked a pivotal moment in her career. By offering virtual medication and pharmacogenomics consulting services, she not only gained flexibility but also discovered a newfound passion for innovation and growth.
2. Navigating Self-Doubt: Like many entrepreneurs, Sue faced moments of self-doubt along her journey. However, she emphasizes the importance of finding one's "why" or passion to overcome these mental hurdles and push forward towards success.
3. Collaborating with Physicians: Sue's entrepreneurial spirit led her to directly collaborate with physicians, becoming their in-house pharmacist. Through this partnership, she optimized patient medication management and care, highlighting the transformative power of interdisciplinary teamwork.
4. From Passion Project to Business: Sue's creative endeavour of writing a children's book with her kids blossomed into a full-fledged business. By self-publishing on Amazon and creating an online course about the publishing process, she demonstrates the potential for passion projects to evolve into thriving ventures.
5. Pharmacy Mentorship: Inspired by the diverse career paths available to pharmacists, Sue founded Pharmacy Mentorship, an online platform connecting pharmacists with mentors across various specialties. Through this initiative, she aims to empower fellow pharmacists to pursue their dreams beyond traditional roles.
