"FROM THE PHARMACY TO THE PETAL PROJECT."

The story of ALESSANDRO GOSO - Pharmacist | Goso Pharmacy

Alessandro I have been in Private Community for over two years. My profession is a pharmacist, but for some time I felt that the "simple" pharmacy was no longer enough for me. I had a vague idea: to transform the pharmacy into something different, broader, more evolved. However, it was just an intuition, not structured, drawn on paper without a real method to make it concrete.

Entering Private, that idea began to take shape. There wasn't a great enlightenment, no moment when I suddenly understood everything. It was rather a constant evolution. Working with a method, taking time to think, using tools, comparing myself with other people, allowed me to better see problems and solutions and to give clear contours to what was previously just sketched.

Today I see the pharmacy as one of the petals of a flower, or one of the rays of a sun. It is an important tool, but it is not the only one. Around it, there is the laboratory, which already exists but can be developed much more, new services to create, a different management of collaborators, a better way of being on the market and living the work. Many of these things already existed in small; Private helped me bring them from micro to macro and integrate them into an organic project.

One point that this journey has greatly strengthened in me is the role of collaborators. If you treat them only in terms of "employer and employee," the situation remains rigid, closed. But if you broaden your perspective, you understand that everyone can gain: in quality of life, service, internal climate. I already had some convictions about this, but Private made them clearer and more solid.

At first, the theme of Mindset almost scared me. It's a world I had never seriously faced. I feel more like evolution than "enlightenment": I don't believe in the twist that changes your life in a day, but in many small steps that take you further. Over time, connecting Mindset, method, work sessions, and comparison, I began to see how important that part was too. Today I would say that Mindset weighs a part of the journey: it's not everything, but without it, an essential piece would be missing.

I experienced Combine® intensely, at times laboriously. At the moment AI was not simple, but over time I recognize that it was precious: it confronted me with questions and answers that, on my own, I would probably have faced in many months. After forty years of work, it's natural to have very rooted mental patterns; such a tool forces you to question them and really change.

Another awareness I have matured is that the type of activity matters less than one might think. Whether you sell drugs, shoes, or services, the main lever is the person, not the sector. The limits, in most cases, are in the head, not in the profession.

I have always had a drawer full of half-ideas. The difference is that today they are no longer just ideas piled on top of each other. Thanks to the work done, I have a map: I know what has priority now, what can be postponed, what might be better to let go. I have learned to give an order, not to waste time and energy, to accept that every change takes time. There are no real shortcuts: if you want to build something that lasts, you have to think long-term, not just a few months.

For me, Private has been, and is, a great advantage. It helps me focus on choices, organize thoughts, shorten decision times, and turn half-ideas into concrete paths. But one thing doesn't change: if I don't put my mind to it, it doesn't work.

"FROM THE PHARMACY TO THE PETAL PROJECT."

The story of GIORGIO - Program Manager | Goso Pharmacy

Giorgio I have been in Private Community for about a year and a half. I joined after Alessandro, my father-in-law, who invited me to take part in the journey. I am also a pharmacist, but from the beginning, I shared with him the feeling that the pharmacy, as traditionally understood, could not be the only horizon.

When I arrived in Private, we already had a vague idea of going beyond the pharmacy, but it was something confused, more instinctive than planned. The work done here, along with the use of Combine®, helped me see the complete picture: the pharmacy, the laboratory, the services, the management of people, all parts of a single larger project.

In some ways, I feel like a "blank slate in evolution." I have fewer ingrained habits compared to those with many years of experience behind them, and this allows me to more easily embrace new tools and new ways of organizing work. At the same time, I realize that the experience of those ahead of me is essential to give substance to ideas and to avoid mistakes that others have already experienced.

One of the things I appreciate most is the comparison. The same Focus Sessions, the same tools, generate different responses in each of us. This, for me, is the added value: seeing how other people read a situation helps you understand both where you can improve and where you are already on the right track. Sometimes you receive a new insight, other times a confirmation. In both cases, you grow.

I am increasingly convinced that it is not the sector that determines the results, but the mindset with which you approach the work. Whether you manage a pharmacy or any other business, the real risk is standing still while the context around you changes. The path I am on is helping me not to fall into this trap: to question the routine, to seek new paths, to build a future that is not limited to "day by day."

I also have many ideas, perhaps too many, and the danger is always to disperse. The contribution of Private, for me, is mainly in the ability to give order: to understand which ideas deserve to be pursued immediately, which need time, which are not priorities. Instead of trying to do everything at once, I have learned to work gradually, step by step.

This journey has also made me understand the importance of the timing of change. We live in a historical moment where many promise rapid transformations; I am experiencing how much healthier and more effective it is to accept that graduality is needed. It's like building a house: if you don't take care of the foundations, at the first shock it risks collapsing.

Today I no longer see just the daily work in the pharmacy, but a broader project, made of many "petals" that can grow over time. Knowing that I am not facing this journey alone, but within a community that listens, compares, and supports you, makes a big difference for me.
