Become a Pharmacist Entrepreneur: The Decision to Transition | Pharmacist Diaries

From the busy corridors of the hospital to the whirlwind of entrepreneurship, this episode takes you through a remarkable journey. It’s a honest conversation between Yasir Sacranie, the CEO of MicroPharm, and yours truly, where we unveil our exhilarating transition from the world of specialised hospital pharmacy to starting our own businesses. We lay bare the hurdles we have encountered and the driving force that kept us going. You'll hear us delve into the inception of Pharmacist Diaries and MicroPharm, and the early challenges we tackled in setting up these ventures.   Striking a balance between your professional and personal life is crucial, especially in the realm of entrepreneurship - this is a subject we address head-on in our chat. We explore the importance of managing time, both work and sleep, for overall well-being. If you've got a burning idea or a passion, listen up!  We offer you our insights and experiences and encourage you to make the jump, but stress the importance of doing your homework. We talk about the necessary mindset and skills to construct your dream project from scratch.  And remember - entrepreneurship is a journey - it's completely okay to step out of your comfort zone and experiment. Stay tuned for the next episode where we delve deeper into the essential skillset of an entrepreneur.
