If you’re a pharmacist who’s ever thought, “I want to do something different, but I’m scared…” — you’re not alone.

There are two major forces that often keep us stuck where we are:
🔹 Fear of failure – the idea that trying something new could go wrong, that you’ll waste time or money, or that you’ll disappoint yourself or others.
🔹 Fear of regret – the quiet ache of wondering what if, watching others take leaps while you stay in the same place.

Both are real. Both are valid. But only one leaves you in the driver’s seat of your future.

The Hidden Cost of Playing It Safe

Most pharmacists were trained to play it safe — to follow protocols, avoid mistakes, and stick with what’s proven. And while this mindset serves us in clinical settings, it can hold us back when it comes to career growth.

Fear of failure whispers:

• “What if I invest in a program and it doesn’t work?”

• “What if I don’t find clients?”

• “What if I’m not cut out for business?”

But here’s the truth: failure is part of the process — and usually a stepping stone to something greater.

What we often don’t talk about is fear of regret, which sounds like:

• “What if I look back in a year and nothing has changed?”

• “What if I stay in this burnout cycle forever?”

• “What if I miss the chance to build something for myself?”

Where Do You Want to Be 6 Months from Now?

Every pharmacist who joined the Pivot Program started with a little uncertainty. They had student loans. They had demanding jobs. And they were nervous about the unknown.

But they also had vision — and they refused to let regret run the show.

They asked themselves:
✅ What if this is the path to more freedom?
✅ What if I could finally do meaningful work on my own terms?
✅ What if just 2-3 hours a week could unlock a new income stream and career direction?

The answer? For over 40 pharmacists (and counting): it was worth it.

How to Move from Fear to Action

Here’s a mindset shift I want to offer you:

💡 Failure isn’t the opposite of success. It’s the path to it.
💡 Regret is the result of never starting.

You don’t have to go all-in overnight. But you do have to start. Even small steps — researching remote options, talking to a mentor, exploring your next move — build momentum.

And if you're serious about taking that leap with guidance and strategy, that’s what the Pivot Program is here for.

The Bottom Line

At the end of the day, ask yourself this:
👉 Are you more afraid of failing… or of never knowing what could’ve been?

Your PharmD doesn’t have to lock you into one path. You have options. You have value. And yes — you can take a risk that leads to freedom, impact, and income.

Take the next step. Don’t let regret win.
