Michael Gleiber, MD, offered business advice for entrepreneurs in a recent Inc. Magazine article.
Here are seven highlights:
1. Dr. Gleiber notes failure is not synonymous with defeat.
2. He urges entrepreneurs to accept mistakes occur, but to not make the same mistake twice.
3. Don't give into advice from people who demand they are right because they "know more than you."
4. Listen extremely well, and stay level-headed.
5. Focus on innovation, but don't let it run wild.
6. Rolls Royce recently named Dr. Gleiber a brand ambassador.
7. His practice, Concierge Spine Surgery, is based in West Palm Beach, Fla.
"My biggest mistake in business was joining a practice where the ceiling for my potential growth was set before I even walked through the door on my first day," said Dr. Gleiber. "Instead of accepting this, I vowed that only I would determine my true worth to my patients. With that, I set out to create Concierge Spine Surgery."
