How is my Financial Health, Doc?

Physicians are not just physicians. We can be so much more - a chat with Dr. Thanasi Tsiodras

Many physicians feel they are trapped. I know many of these physicians. They cannot do anything else other than medicine (and their own specialty). The reality is that physicians have acquired throughout their studies many skills that are transferrable to other careers. However, at times, we are too emotionally trapped to recognize the spectrum of skills we have. We do have them. of course, we also need to learn new skills to embark into new adventures. With the rising rates of burnout among physicians and healthcare professionals, what could be the solutions? Is non-clinical work (and alternative method of making an income) part of the solution? The answer is a resounding "Yes!". Please see what opportunities are possible by learning from Dr. Tsiodras.

How to get started in real-estate investing for healthcare professionals

I hear a lot of my colleagues talk about real-estate investing and earning passive income via real-estate. Many have talked about it. Very fews have actually done it. Maybe because of lack of knowledge. Maybe because of fear. Maybe just procrastination. Whatever the reason, there is no more excuse after this episode.

Occupational therapist gone entrepreneur! Passion beyond clinical work.

Many of us secretly dream of a non-clinical job or career. We struggle to figure out what that would look like but, more importantly, how to get there. As we face more burnout in our industry, it becomes an imperative to actually drive towards our passion that can become a signifcant side job in this GIG economy. Having a passion outside of clinical work is now, I think, a must to combat burnout. Julia Perreira, a very successful occupational therapist, shares with us how she did it and what tips she has for us. Julia serves as an inspiration to all of us.

It’s not sexy, but it is important - Financial Planning for SECURITY!

Everyone loves to talk about investment and stocks. We love to talk about the latest and shiniest coin on the block. But it is really not as important as considering the entire financial plan. Focusing mainly on investments as your overall financial plan can lead to a failed plan. What else should we do then?

Build financial security, independence, and wealth with the Wealth Creator

Many think life insurance is only for the estate after our passing (journey to the clouds). That is a very limited and scarcity mindset view of what life insurance can do. Those who truly understand life insurance know many other strategies to build financial security, independence, and wealth. This is one of such very powerful strategies. It is not for everyone, but it is something to be at least be aware of.

Value should be your focus, not just cost!

We, in healthcare, are no different than everyone else when it comes to evaluating a product or service. Everyone, even people whose expertise is financial products and strategies, fall in the same trap. That is basing their assessment mainly focused on cost and fees. That is absolutely the wrong mindset. And it is very costly in the end. Life is a great teacher, but this teacher is very expensive. Learn to evaluate a product or service based on value, not cost.

I am certain you have many views about money. Are those views yours? or have they been implanted into your consciousness by your parents, your in-laws, or your neighbours? How you understand and view money determines how successful financially you will be. It will also dictate how happy you will be. So, do not underestimate the impact of your view about money.

A frank conversation with a ”strategic accountant” - what does one look like?

Are you engaged with a strategic accountant? In addition to filing your taxes, does your accountant educate and engage you in a discussion about financial planning for the future? As healthcare professionals, we rely on the expertise of others to manage our personal finance. One of the major player among these experts are the accountants. If they do not talk to us about things we are not aware of, how are we supposed to be aware? It is not so much what is said that is important. It is what is not said. So, are you having conversations with your accountant about things that are not said?
