About This Episode

If you’ve ever told yourself, “Maybe I need to do that MBA first…”

Or “Once I’ve done that course, then I’ll be ready…”

This episode is for you.

In this truth-telling solo, Dr. Abeyna Bubbers-Jones breaks down why so many brilliant doctors get stuck in the “just one more qualification” trap and how it’s costing them time, energy, and income.

Abeyna shares real stories of doctors who:

• Spent £20k+ on an MBA and still couldn’t get interviews
• Delayed career moves for nine years, waiting to feel “ready”
• Built profitable consulting offers without doing another course
• Finally learned how to package their existing value and get paid

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why more courses ≠ more credibility or income in industry
• The uncomfortable truth: qualifications don’t teach you how to get clients, market yourself, or make money
• How the industry actually rewards clarity, confidence, and strategic action
• Why “learning” feels safer than “doing” and how to break that cycle
• What it really means to stop collecting certificates and start getting results

This is for you if...

• You’re addicted to courses but still feel lost
• You keep delaying action until “the time is right”
• You want to finally take ownership of your career and income on your terms
