Patients never fit the guidelines. They need pharmacists to figure out what they need and figure out how to get it to them.

The simple message is that if you fail to create value then you will fail to have a job in the future.

I believe that Seth Godin's view that Tribes will replace traditional mass marketing as the dominant sales driver of the 21 st century is spot on. I believe that a pharmacist can develop their own tribe and use that tribe to provide income in an area of their specialty.

Time Warrior by Steve Chandler

This book is short, to the point and a great way to think about managing your time. If you are tired of all these elaborate systems and checklists you just might find this a great read.

I found that Chandler's approach to becoming a Time Warrior was exactly what I needed to focus on getting the right things done.
