What motivated you to start your business?
Right after completing my formal studies in the field of medicine, I was employed by one of the surgeons who was privately practicing dermatology. After working for him for a few years, I felt unsatisfied with what I was doing.
He focused more on cosmetic surgery – something that I wasn’t so much interested in. That’s when I decided to move out and start my business whose main objective was to treat people and educate them about skin cancer.
How does your business make money?
I treat patients and they pay me for that – simple.
Did it take long before your business started making profit?
When I was getting started, I wasn’t in a hurry to make profits out of the business. My focus was on providing the best dermatological services and gain trust from my clients.
Did you have any doubts that your business would work when you were starting?
Not really – You know succeeding in the field of medicine is not a joke. Having successfully completed my degree in medicine, I knew that anything was possible.
What’s your favorite business book?
It’s called “How to win friends and influential people – although I am not sure if it’s a business book.
