Why do you want financial independence so quickly? Many doctors think that by working extra shifts or by seeing more patients they will get to their financial freedom sooner. But working more does not mean working smart. We can’t place our happiness in a future that may never arrive, and to do that we need to slow down. 

If you're ready to learn about how you can find financial freedom, I'll be hosting a live (and sales pitch free) Financial Freedom Bootcamp on May 10th & 11th. If you want to join, sign up at www.thephysicianphilosopher.com/bootcamp

Based on your current experience in the medical field, would you want your kids or future kids going into medicine? Just because we had to go through hardship in our career path doesn't mean the next generation has to. It's time we started thinking about the impact we're leaving for the future generations of medical practitioners. 

The key to leaving a positive impact for future generations is by empowering the doctors today to have the financial freedom they need to practice medicine however they want. If you're ready to learn about how you can find that financial freedom, I'll be hosting a free Financial Freedom Bootcamp on May 10th & 11th.

As doctors the mantra, 'the patient comes first,' is a belief instilled in all of us to make sure the patient is given the best care. Unfortunately, this mentality keeps hospitals from taking care of another important group of people: physicians. I'm here to tell you that this way of thinking is backward and if we take care of doctors first, then everyone benefits.

If you're a doctor who feels like a cog in the wheel, or just a number on a clipboard, then maybe you need to break out to practice medicine on your terms. Unfortunately, you may be saddled with debt or can't give up your salary and maintain your lifestyle. Not to worry. There is a way out of this trap. Today I'm here to tell you why every single physician can benefit from non-clinical income create the freedom they need to practice medicine however they want (if they want).

Just because medicine has done things a certain way does not mean that this is the way it has to be. If you’re like me, and am tired of apologizing for pointing out the broken parts of our medical system, then I want to assure you that you’re not alone. I refuse to accept that medicine has to continue pushing doctors into burnout or even to suicide, and I want you to join me to find a new way of thinking to change the status quo.

Last week, we talked about how your mindset is key to master before you obtain the work/life balance you deserve. Now it's time to talk about how money, the second pillar, is the fuel for the other pillars and how this helps drive you to your goals. Whether you're just graduating or have been working for many years, this episode will help you shift how you look at money and possibly whether you consider becoming an entrepreneur along the way.

I know too many doctors that feel like they work themselves to burnout to get to where they are, but are still bound to forces outside their control. If this sentiment resonates with you, then fear not! In this 2-part episode, I'm going to explain my 3 pillars to freedom and the process you need to complete them to find your Work-Life Balance.

I talk a lot on this show about becoming a coach, and try to provide as much advice as possible to get you in the right mindset and give you the proper tools to succeed. However, it can be just as helpful hearing about someone else's experience to help realize your dreams are possible.

That's why I have a special guest on today's episode. Dr. Lil Surprenant is a fantastic coach from the Alpha Coaching Experience and is here to share her experience shifting from working as a full time hospitalist to working as a coach.

The more work you do, the more money you earn, right? That's how we're taught to think, and also why a lot of doctors work themselves into burn out.  Flipping this script is also why physician entrepreneurs find freedom.

The thing is, money and time are not intrinsically linked. Being productive doesn't always mean earning more money and there are so many ways to increase your income while working fewer hours. 

If you're ready to take control back with your time and your schedule, then it's time to figure out how to work smarter not harder.

There is always one more task business owners can try and get done in a day, but this one task always becomes a never ending to-do list. 

The truth is, if you’re always focusing on the “What” of your business, you’ll never get caught up on that list. That’s why shifting your focus from your “What” to your “Why” can help you make time for the important things in your life, like family. 

Today, I share some of the struggles I’ve experienced with the Arrival Fallacy in my business, and always say “Hell Yes” to my family.
