Episode 50 - No Plan, No Patients, New Town: Dr. Nicole Newingham's DPC Launch Story
Today I'm coaching Dr. Nicole Newingham, a family physician in Newtown, PA who is four weeks out from the soft launch of Neu Lifestyle Medicine. Nicole did something a lot of us think about but few actually do. She quit her employed job with no plan, took four weeks off, sat with herself long enough to figure out what she actually wanted, and then decided DPC was the way back to the medicine she loves. We talk about the sobbing-at-home moment that pushed her out, why analysis paralysis is the enemy of every pre-launch DPC doc, and the multi-prong marketing approach she needs to reach the patients who don't even know what primary care is yet. If you're pre-launch, burned out, or building from zero, this coaching call is for you.
