Being an independent pharmacy owner.
There is much that can be controlled and predicted when you become an entrepreneur but that is not what I am here to talk about. Those who plan and listen to others will succeed especially in the independent pharmacy industry. The success attribute not often spoken about is the ability to problem solve. It is not possible to create a business without this skill. I wanted to provide you with some insight on the things that can happen so maybe you won’t feel alone when something similar happens to you, because it will!
Problems can be big or small but they all take time and can be very frustrating. I talked to a pharmacy owner one time that promised he would deliver to his patients. He leased a delivery car and hired a part time employee to do the deliveries. On the first day the employee didn’t show up and he got 5 delivery orders. As an entrepreneur, he said to himself, I will deliver the orders after hours, but when he went to do it the new leased car wouldn’t start. It was not a big deal he took his own car but these things happen and how you handle it daily can be the difference between succeeding and not.
