What if you could validate your side business idea and earn your first $10,000 before building a website or content empire?

In this practical solo episode, host Dr. Mike Woo-Ming draws from his entrepreneurial experience to guide physicians away from common pitfalls like overcomplicating launches with unnecessary infrastructure. He explains the "credentialing mindset" that holds doctors back and advocates for a minimum viable test: Define a specific audience and transformation, run a free webinar with a framework and offer, and promote it via your existing network. Real examples, including his own $32,000 validation for Bootstrap MD, illustrate how to iterate based on results. Whether you're eyeing telemedicine, coaching, or consulting, discover how to get paid customers in 30 days without burnout or perfectionism.

If you're a physician entrepreneur ready to test ideas leanly, this episode provides a clear 30-day plan for validation, pivoting, and scaling with confidence.

Three Actionable Takeaways:

• Define your MVP offer: Identify a specific target audience,for example, hospitalists launching telemedicine, promise a measurable transformation (e.g., see your first 5 patients in 90 days), and set a price, focus on implementation support like coaching or cohorts.

• Run a test webinar: Create a simple landing page, outline 30-45 minutes of framework content (what/why, not how), promote to 50 network contacts via personal messages and LinkedIn, and make your offer in the last 10-15 minutes.

• Analyze and iterate: Track attendance, questions, and conversions; if buyers emerge, deliver and refine; if not, interview attendees for feedback, adjust variables (audience, promise, price), and retest in 1-2 weeks to validate before building infrastructure.
