1.  Market yourself....attend  Rotary, Lions club, barangay meeting.  Bark up the right tree. If you are
an internist, then you  could promote yourself with  the seniors. A pediatrician  should attend  school meetings.
2.  Have good  management systems for your office: a good receptionist, assistant/nurse, billing  person.
3.   Start a practice  with  less competition  and high barriers to entry.  MetroManila, LA    have an oversupply of docs.
4.  Maintain good quality:  continue  studying  and keep up.
5. Maintain access:  Try not to go on 2 month vacations  in the first few years.  Your patients cannot wait for you
forever.
6. Multi-task: you can be  a hospitalist, office doc,  teacher,  researcher  at the same time
7. Leverage technology: set up a lab, Ultrasound, Holter, Pulmonary Function Tests, etc
