Dr. Cindy shares about some lessons she's learned in her journey from Veterinary school to running her own Veterinary Hospital.
"They teach you how to be a vet, but not how to run a business." - Dr. Cindy
She said some of the important lessons for her were to have patience, have faith and the importance of celebrating the wins along the way.
Some ways to celebrate the wins are to plan awards tied to goals for your staff. Dr. Cindy took her team to the Tiger exhibit to celebrate their one year anniversary and sets smaller goals with rewards like gift cards or lunches.
Dr. Cindy shared that the suicide rate among Veterinarians is rising each year in part because of the stress of the job and the toll it takes to actually be the one to euthanize an animal patient that in some cases they have seen for years.
Serving your community and giving back is a great way to combat the stress of your job and the sense of community provides a sense of feeling good and almost therapeutic.
