This episode is also sponsored by PearsonRavitz– helping physicians protect their most valuable assets.  In early Q1 of 2024, physicians often receive updates or changes to their compensation, typically in the form of addendums to their contracts. These changes may be related to fiscal budgets, CMS regulations, or simply the timing of the year. It's crucial not to hastily sign any addendum without fully understanding its implications.  Take time to evaluate fairness and consider negotiating with your employer, especially if the changes are significant or affect multiple physicians. Ensure that you have ample time to review, discuss with colleagues, and potentially seek professional advice before making any decisions.  Jon invites individuals to contact Contract Diagnostics through phone, chat, or email for personalized assistance, visit www.ContractDiagnostics.com

A Physician’s Guide to Wealth - Do you feel in control of your money? Or is it in control of you?

 In this episode, James Nutter explores the concept of time versus money and how it relates to physicians' lives. He discusses the common belief that time is money and how physicians often equate more time worked with more money earned.  However, he also highlights the negative consequences of this mindset, such as burnout and a lack of work-life balance. James encourages physicians to reflect on how they are spending their time and to consider whether they can delegate tasks that don't bring them joy or hire a capable team to help them complete their mission in life. He emphasizes the importance of valuing time as the most precious resource and using money to buy back time and create a more fulfilling life.
