Episode 106: How To Think Beyond Traditional Entrepreneurship Models and Get Funding For Your Health Equity Business

Melanin & Medicine Podcast

Our entrepreneurial story is often built around this hustle and grow methodology but if you were able to start with 6 figures towards your dream business instead of hustling to get them, think about how much farther you could get. That’s why episode 106 of the Melanin & Medicine Podcast is part one of our dreams with deadlines series on finding funding as a black woman entrepreneur!

The Idea to Impact Accelerator On Demand is a one-day intensive workshop that will transform your business idea into an actionable massive profit plan. We get to work using my 4 step business building formula that ensures you have clear action steps and goals for each monthly milestone.

Instead of sitting on an idea wondering if it’ll be profitable, you leave with the confidence and the proven concept needed to create a stream of income that will allow you to complement or replace your income as a physician.

In this episode of the Melanin & Medicine Podcast, I’m sharing the importance of exploring other business models outside of the traditional build, fund, grow model and thinking outside of the box to fund your dream business outside of a partnership with a healthcare facility.

What You’ll Learn From This Episode:

• Omolara’s journey of building two successful businesses with two different growth models.
• The traditional “build, fund, grow” model vs. the “fund, build, grow” model.
• Overcoming our past perceptions of what it looks like to be self-made and finding easier ways to get there.
• Receiving funding while keeping ownership in your business.
• The severe lack of venture capital funding that black and latin-x women receive comparatively to others in their same industry.

Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on empowering Black women in medicine and academia to find their purpose and achieve their vision.
