<p>Meet Patrick Fynn, a medical practitioner and a writer, who has interests in the various sectors of the economy. Be inspired by his story.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>Tell us a bit about your self ?</strong></p>
<p>My name is Patrick Fynn. I&#8217;m a medical practitioner and writer with interest in health, social, political and inspirational topics among others. I lead a clinical team at StandOut Care to provide public health screening services. I&#8217;m a fellow of the <em>Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), West Africa.</em><br />
I&#8217;m brand ambassador for the <em>National Student Awards (NSA Ghana), Dignity Diner and UrbRide.</em></p>
<p><strong>What stimulated your interest in entrepreneurship and why did you choose this particular work?</strong></p>
<p>My inspiration for entrepreneurship has been born out of the zeal to make the most of the things I&#8217;m passionate about, prospects that I have committed time to develop for myself. I see it as an opportunity to create enterprises out of what I can do best. I have always had an intrinsic motivation to find solutions to problems as an individual or together with others.<br />
In my work as a medic I have seen people either lose their lives or the quality of it as a result of diseases they simply could have nipped in the bud.<br />
So I thought to myself <strong><em>&#8220;If people won&#8217;t see a doctor because the hospital is not readily accessible or too expensive, then why not take it to them in the most affordable way?&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>What are some of the services you provide? Any memorable project (s) so far?</strong></p>
<p>At StandOut Care we run a mobile clinic and a community-based health screening program<br />
We do but not limited to:<br />
Public Health Education<br />
Weighing and BMI Check<br />
Blood Pressure Check<br />
Blood Sugar Estimation<br />
Rapid Diagnostic tests for Malaria<br />
Hepatitis B<br />
General consultation<br />
Mass deworming<br />
Breast cancer screening<br />
HIV/AIDS Voluntary Counselling and Testing .</p>
<p>We have provided services for market squares, churches, schools, clubs, communities in the Greater Accra, Ashanti, Central and Volta Regions.</p>
<p><strong>What are some of the untapped places you think your project could be deployed in?</strong></p>
<p>There are people outside the cities, far away in the hinterlands who we&#8217;re very much concerned about. These deprived areas need our services the most.</p>
<p><strong>Do you think entrepreneurship is the solution to some of the problems on the continent?</strong></p>
<p>If we can retain economic dominance, our best shot is to aggressively promote entrepreneurship in order to bolster idea innovation, productivity and job creation. That is how best a lot of our challenges as Africans can be solved.</p>
<p><strong>What is your vision for the next 5 years and where do you see yourself as an African entrepreneur?</strong></p>
<p>In 5 years I want to be the most authoritative, most productive healthcare professional to have impacted at least 1 million Africans.</p>
<p><strong>What would you say is your biggest challenge as an African entrepreneur and why have you not </strong><br />
<strong>given up?</strong></p>
<p>The system is infertile and not supportive of what we have to offer. I believe that the general make-up of our system doesn&#8217;t support start-ups. The basic rudiments such as business registration, mentorship, incubation, skill development are not readily available.</p>
<p><strong>What gets you out of bed in the morning and what keeps you up at night?</strong></p>
<p>The thought that there&#8217;s a task to start or finish.</p>
<p><strong>How did you fund your business and how difficult was it?</strong></p>
<p>The start-up was ran primarily on personal funds. I had to run extra shifts, do short-term investments with my salaries and that was how I was able to procure logistics and medical supplies.<br />
Along the way, we had a few sponsorships from pharmaceutical companies.</p>
<p><strong>What avenues can upcoming entrepreneurs on the African continent think of with respect to funding?</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Funding</em></strong> has been the greatest challenge for most businesses. I&#8217;m not a financial expert or authority, but I believe strongly that start-ups can best best support themselves through self-funding. It&#8217;s easier to get external support when operations look promising and sustainability can be assured.</p>
<p><strong>What do you wish you knew before starting your first business?</strong></p>
<p>I wish I knew that I didn&#8217;t need to wait for a particular time before starting the business.<br />
Waiting kills ideas and suppresses drive!</p>
<p><strong>In one word describe your life as an entrepreneur.</strong></p>
<p>Life-changing</p>
<p><strong>What has been your greatest inspiration?</strong></p>
<p>Achievements and failures.<br />
I&#8217;m result oriented. When one success is clogged, it inspires me to do more.<br />
When I fail, I motivate myself with the finish line in sight.</p>

A lot of prospective change makers are waiting for a certain status, capital, or enablement to start a venture. However, no time is ever the most appropriate moment to put an idea to action.<br />
Each second spent &#8220;preparing&#8221; would rather be channelled into starting and learning from the mistakes. The time is NOW!</p>
