A shout out to all the new orthopedic founders.

When you see a colleague, friend or stranger found a new orthopedic company, a little part of you says, “I could have done that!”

The fact is that they did it. You didn’t. 

They hustled, moonlighted, raised capital, and worked crazy stressful hours.  You continued to work your normal job.

They made their startup dream a top priority.  You said you’t get to it one day. 

They invested the time.  You meant to.

You can react in two ways:

#1 – Capitulate. 

“Well, I’m not going to start that business now, because Jessica or Michael already did it.”

#2 – Get your hustle on.

Use your jealous pain, to take action. There are 1,000 ideas for new orthopedic ventures floating around.  Chose one and execute. Find the time. Find the time by stealing it from your comfort area – entertainment, meals, exercise, etc.

Once you emerge on the other side, all of your sacrifices will result in deep satisfaction. And your friends will say, “How did Jessica or Michael do that?”
